Bethlehem......Glory.....two poems.

Was Jesus born on Christmas day

In Bethlehem so far away?

Three Wise men led by a star

Brought wonderous gifts from afar

In a stable they found the child

Laying there so meek and mild.

They fell and worshiped Him their king

While heavens angels in glory sing.

Imagine what that small town saw

So much wonder and such awe

Our God came down from heaven to earth

To show mankind what they were worth.

He came to save us all from sin

So we could reconcile with Him.

So the lowley creatures sleep

The ox, the ass and the sheep.

Around His crib among the straw

The shepherds and Kings sleep on the floor

Mary glows with inner joy

So lovingly tends her baby boy.

Angels from the realms on high

Appear above the evening sky

What wonders came upon that eve

God is seeking who will believe

Bend your knees, accept your King

His Spirit comes to dwell within.

Glory
Glory be to God on High Heaven and earth on Him rely. To bring the harvest safe within, All of nature comes to Him. Angels worship Him above, Mortals adore Him with their love. All glory from the heavenly host Praising Father Son and Holy Ghost. Praise Him all who dwell below, Upon whose gifts He does bestow.
