Bethlehem


In a small stable....
   prayers of a father
   a young mother gives birth
   soft cries from a manger

In the night stillness....
   a star shines in the sky
   shepherds watch over their flocks
   angels sing in the heavens

The promises of Isaiah....
   "Wonderful, Counselor,"
   "The mighty God,"
   "The Prince of Peace"

                    Joy to the world!
                  Halleluiah!  Amen....
