Sharing “The Adoration” (from Bow Down in Jericho) by native son Byron Herbert Reece .. NOTE: Perfect for use in your Christmas devotionals and Christmas programs. And if you wanted to sing it, you could use the old tune Little Margaret (thanks to Jackie Elsner) ... If I but had a little dress, A little dress of the flax so fair I’d take it from my clothespress And give it to Him to wear, To wear, And give it to Him to wear. If I but had a little girdle A girdle stained with the purple dye, Or green as grass or green as myrtle About His waist to tie, To tie, About His waist to tie! If I but had a little coat, A coat to fit a no-year old, I’d button it close about His throat To cover Him from the cold, The cold, To cover Him from the cold. If I but had a little shoe, A little shoe as might be found I’d lace it on with a sheepskin thew To keep His foot from the ground, The ground, To keep His foot from the ground. If my heart were a shining coin, A silver coin or a coin of gold Out of my side I’d it purloin And give it to Him to hold, To hold, And give it to Him to hold. If my heart were a house also, A house also with room to spare I never would suffer my Lord to go Homeless, but house Him there, O there, Homeless, but house Him there!
