CHRISTMAS READY
What is it–two more weeks?
To finish the list that one seeks…
But who seeks Christ
In the Stable of Lights,
Instead of a riotous feast?
–
Abandoned Christian rites,
By those seeking other sights…
Has the Babe gone pagan,
Replaced by a flagon
Of mead…duly spiced?
–
Those of us with faith,
Can we say our souls are safe…
Little preparation
Receiving salvation,
From the One virgin gestation?
–
Two weeks to receive our King
Let Heaven and earth ring…
In the hearts of His people
Under every steeple,
And whomever in which Christ’s joy might spring!
–Jonathan Caswell
