The Christmas Gift.

On Christmas night
A star shines abright,
And darkness disappears.

Through the stillness of this hour
Breaks the Angel song flower:
With praises and sweet delight to bring.

Comes the promise of love incarnate,
Child of God for man has cometh.
In sweet humility salvation he brings.

A Shepherd's heart glows with ardour
as the Servant-King smiles to him.

A stable as cover, a palace it seems.
With Father and Mother
the Child gently sleeps.

Love now rediscovered
At last... the Good News we can give!
