Swing open wide the stable door

Royston 1946 (Reading)

Swing open wide the stable door.
Come with me now and look down in awe,
as into the manger we gaze,
lost in wonder, love and praise.

God, a baby! How can this be?
The Immortal clothed in mortality.
Almighty God, the Son of Man!
The Infinite contracted to a span.
