ORGAN SONGS: CHRISTMAS, 1884 by GEORGE MACDONALD

Poet Analysis

First Line: THOUGH IN MY HEART NO CHRISTMAS GLEE
Last Line: THYSELF WILL COME!
Subject(s): CHRISTMAS; JESUS CHRIST; NATIVITY, THE;

THOUGH in my heart no Christmas glee,
Though my song-bird be dumb,
Jesus, it is enough for me
That thou art come.

What though the loved be scattered far,
Few at the board appear,
In thee, O Lord, they gathered are,
And thou art here.

And if our hearts be low with lack,
They are not therefore numb;
Not always will thy day come back—
Thyself will come!
