  Speaker 1: the gentle kind, all safe from cold and danger. But
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: it was not so with mine, with mine, with mine?

  Speaker 1: Is it well with the child? Is it well? The
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: waiting mother prayed, for I know not how he fell,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: and I know not where he is laid. A star

  Speaker 1: stood forth in heaven. The watchers ran to see the

  Speaker 1: sign of the promise given. But there comes no sign

  Speaker 1: away my lord, and I know not where he is laid.

  Speaker 1: vain for sign of the promise given of peace on
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: earth again again again. But I know for whom he fell.
