The Wonders of Christmas
Christmas has its wonders, as seas their rolling waves,
To cast in awe the softened heart, of God for whom it craves,
His plan of salvation, to seek and save the lost,
He takes them in their fallen state, he surely bears their cost,
Can God become a man? The Ruler of the Skies,
Forsake his glory and his throne, lost souls the humble prize?
Conceived by the Spirit, and born of virgin bride,
His Christmas birth brings life and hope, to those unqualified,
Gentleness his manner, though power is his frame,
He crushes not despairing ones, but bows them at his name,
Forbearing the wand’rer, the rod of grace restores,
There are no turns on Straight the Road, this side of heaven’s shores,
What quenches God’s fierce wrath? A holy judge is he!
To cover all their grievous sins, his blood spilled on a tree,
His motive for suff’ring, deep love for them he knows,
To bring them near the heart of God, whom they did fore oppose!
Many other marvels, revealed by Christmas light,
Christ shall return, judge all the earth, and win the bloody fight!
One issue remaineth, the matter of YOUR soul,
Have you this hope, deep in your heart, and whom do you extoll?
