Thought
Gifts awaiting under tree
Delivered for each safely
But the greatest gift of all
Is in simple animal’s stall
Gather we round babe adore
Child divine on bed of straw
Nothing more for us to do
But offer gifts of worship due
Suckle babe at mother’s breast
Gazing thus angels are blessed
Under bright star giving voice
And earth itself too will rejoice
No place for Son of man to rest
Even the birds of air have nest
Highest teachings on a mount
Thousands fed at end of count
His gift - His very flesh and blood
That hearts fill with love’s flood
Do you now see this Nazarene
Very ground of your own being?
Prayer
O Lord of joy and light spreading throughout all. Cosmic balancing power coming from age to age, grant that I may live simply and freely as Thy child allowing Thy grace to flow like milk. I empty myself to Thee that I may be filled with the milk of kindness for Thee as the suffering and the poor. May the world flood with glory, peace and joy!
