Solomons and Text by Thomas Clarke. This setting for Christmas represents the cold of a Northern winter (the cruel wind blows) although of course the actual events took Place in rather warmer climes. It also reflects much of the liturgical and popular symbolism of the Christmas season: robins, holly etc and it brings our thoughts towards the season of Easter with the blood of Good FriDay.

In this the version I finally decided upon "North Lew" (a compromise between Quoditch's version and the Yetties' version):  less

It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds, and drives away his fear. Dear name! the rock on which I build, My Shield and Hiding Place, My never-failing Treas'ry filled With boundless stores of grace. Jesus, my Shepherd, Brother, Friend, My Prophet, Priest, and King, My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End, Accept the praise I bring. Weak is the effort of my heart, and cold my warmest thought; But when I see thee as Thou art, I'll praise thee as I ought. Till then I would Thy love proclaim With ev'ry fleeting breath; and may the music of Thy name Refresh my soul in death.  less
