Happy, happy, Bethlehem, Judah's least but brightest gem, Where the rod from Jesse's stem, Scion of a princely race, Sprung in Heaven's own perfect grace, Yet in feeble lowliness. This, the woman's promised seed, Abram's mighty Son indeed; Succourer of earth's great need. This the victor in our war, This the glory see afar, This the light of Jacob's star! Happy Judah, rise and own Him the heir of David's throne David's Lord, and David's Son. Let the dayspring from on high. That arose in Judah's sky. Cover earth eternally. Babe of Bethlehem, to Thee, Infant of eternity, Everlasting glory be!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61158]]></link><description><![CDATA[And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61158</guid></item></channel></rss>
