Clear was the night
and the Magi could see
the bright star.
Quiet was the countryside
and the shepherds could hear
the angelic choir.
The atmosphere of pure Truth
is light and delight.
When the babe was born
the ever-coming Christ
with its redemptive activity
was revealed
individually
universally –
the glory of expressing God’s might
given to humanity.
