THE CHRIST

    In fancy let us go inside

The manger, crude and bear,

And kneel before the Christ-child

So gently sleeping there.

 

God's angels hover all around

To shield the baby from harm

His mother, Mary, cradles Him

Within her loving arm.

 

Remember how, at the age of twelve

He left His parents side

And stayed within the temple

To converse with priests and scribes 


And later on, beside the sea

A multitude did feed

With fishes three and loaves of two

He satisfied their need.


Remember how he talked with friends

And tried to show the way

As He still leads on today

To help us live our life with Him

And in Jesus' name we pray.


All we must do is learn to believe

In God's almightypower

And we shall meet Him face to face

At our appointed hour.

The woman who told that there is someone who watches over me.
