Not exactly or only the nativity--the Incarnation, the boldness of it. 

Glorious the sun in mid career;

Glorious th' assembled fires appear;

Glorious the comet's train:

Glorious the trumpet and alarm;

Glorious th' almighty stretch'd-out arm;

Glorious th' enraptur'd main:

 

Glorious the northern lights a-stream;

Glorious the song, when God's the theme;

Glorious the thunder's roar:

Glorious hosanna from the den;

Glorious the catholic amen;

Glorious the martyr's gore:

 

Glorious—more glorious is the crown

Of Him that brought salvation down

By meekness, call'd thy Son;

Thou that stupendous truth believ'd,

And now the matchless deed's achiev'd,

Determin'd, dar'd, and done.
