Advent

He sent to earth

a tiny babe.

Out of love,
this gift he gave.

All power rest,

in him disguised.

He looked on us

with human eyes.

Fully man,

yet fully God.

The sea of Gallilie,

he trod.

Yet at this time

of holiday cheer.

We oft forget,

to him draw near.

Wrapped as we are

in worldy concern.

What we can give

verse what we earn.

The gift God gave,

that Christmas day.

Is a gift that we

can 'ner repay.

And so as

Christmas draws near,

Let's all remember

and hold it dear.

A babe, a savior

in a manger.

Rescued us

from sin's grave danger.
