Christmas Song

In every babe that gains the light
Through rack of human pain,
In each new-breathing soul tonight
The Christ-child lives again.
In every drop of anguish, pressed
From pallid woman's brow,
In every virgin mother-breast
His Mother whispers now.
And wise men through the dark
ness HE,
Lo! In the East-a Start
o little Christ who is to die
. Was your SOULS journey far?
Strange meteor wounds OF death
and birth
Lighting an endless sea;
A little child has come to earth
And He must die for me!

the Craftsman.
