Christ Is At Thy Portals Lyrics

"Christ is at thy portals:
Bethlem, ready make!
Soon, to save all mortals,
Christmas dawn shall break.
Bethlem, deck the manger,
Group the shepherd band;
Call the kingly stranger
Out of Persian land.
Christ is near thy border,
Christ, of heaven King."
Thus, and in due order,
Hosts Angelick sing.
