As the year approaches its waning close
Winter frost envelops the summer rose
A time that invites the mind to ponder
The reason for this season of wonder
In a world that honours constant striving
How many will feel they’re truly thriving?
A mutual yearning, runs deep through our core
A longing for meaning, for something more
What love, that He should lay his glory by,
To humble Himself, in a manger lie
O, between God and man so great a rift –
So receive and be well, His perfect gift!
