 Between verse 4 and 5.

Then did they know assuredly

Within that house the King did lie:One entered on then for to see

And found the babe in poverty

The following verses may be added :

Between an ox-stall and an ass

This child truly there born he was;

For want of clothing they did him lay

All in a manger, among the hay:

 Between verse 5 and 6.

If we in out time shall do well

We shall be free from death and hell;

For God hath prepar-ed for us all

A resting place in general:

 After Verse 6.
