Lo! He comes, an infant stranger
Even in the early nineteenth century the Church of Ireland Bishop, Richard Mant (1776-1848) realized that Charles Wesley's text of "Lo! He comes with clouds descending" just Would Not Do. He accordingly wrote his own text, which happily avoids the anti-Semitic references of the familiar hymn. For another "politically correct" version of this hymn, click here.
