Servant of God, sleep not, awake! Saddle the ass ere dawn of day; The Mother, and the young Child take, Whom Herod seeketh now to slay; Get thee hence ere the wakening bird Hath sung; to Egypt win thy way: There, till I come and bring thee word, Shalt thou in hiding stay. As thou hast heard, make haste, obey! [_Exit._ JOSEPH. Mary, arise; hence must we go, Even before the dawn of day. MARY. It is God’s will? JOSEPH. ’Tis even so: His angel’s word. MARY. Which we obey. [_Exeunt._ VOICES OF CAROL-SINGERS (_without_). God rest you, merry gentlemen, Let nothing you dismay! Because that Jesus Christ our Lord Is born on Christmas Day! [CURTAIN.] _Enter CHORUS._ _Chorus._ Oh Maid and Holy Child, where have ye gone? Lost are the voices, sets the Star that shone: Back to their folds have gone the shepherd-band: Each king is now returned to his own land. Love is gone forth into the world to win Saints to their rest, and sinners back from sin. Gentles, O ye that here have watched our play, Tell me, I pray you, did He pass _your_ way? Say have ye Him safe, each one, in his breast? Oh, hold Him well! So shall we all have rest. The grace of Jesus Christ, who is our Lord, The Love of God, the Holy Ghost’s accord, Be with us all! And Heaven be our reward! Amen. _Printed by_ R. & R. CLARK, LIMITED, _Edinburgh_. TRANSCRIBER’S NOTES: Italicized text is surrounded by underscores: _italics_.
