lirik lagu sting - the burning babe
as i in h–ry winter’s night
stood shivering in the snow,
surprised i was with sudden heat
which made my heart to glow;
and lifting up a fearful eye
to view what fire was near,
a pretty babe all burning bright
did in the air appear;
who, scorched with excessive heat,
such floods of tears did shed,
as though his floods should quench his flames,
which with his tears were bred:
‘alas!’ quoth he, ‘but newly born
in fiery heats i fry,
yet none approach to warm their hearts
or feel my fire but i!
‘my faultless breast the furnace is;
the fuel, wounding th-rns;
love is the fire, and sighs the smoke;
the ashes, shames and scorns;
the fuel justice layeth on,
and mercy blows the coals,
the metal in this furnace wrought
are men’s defiled souls:
for which, as now on fire i am
to work them to their good,
so will i melt into a bath,
to wash them in my blood.’
with this he vanish’d out of sight
and swiftly shrunk away,
and straight i called unto mind
that it was christmas day.
