726 Where is this stupendous stranger

1 Where is this stupendous stranger? Gentle shepherd now, advise. Lead me to my Master's manger, show me where my Savior lies. O Most Mighty! O Most Holy! Far beyond the seraph's thought, art thou then so weak and lowly as unheeded prophets taught?

2 O the magnitude of meekness! Worth from worth immortal sprung; O the strength of infant weakness, if eternal is so young! God all bounteous, all creative, whom no ills from good dissuade, is incarnate, and a native of the very world he made.
