Christmas Day at Maxton 2018
The first is for God’s promise,
To put the wrong things right,
And bring for earth’s darkness,
The hope of love and light.
The second for the prophets
Who said that Christ would come
With good news for many
And angry words for some
The third is for the Baptist
Who cried ‘Prepare the way.
Be ready for Jesus,
today and every day.
The fourth is for the Virgin,
Who mothered God’s own Son
And sang how God’s justice
Was meant for everyone.
At last we light the candle
Kept new for Christmas day.
This shines bright for Jesus,
new-born, and here to stay.
