WINTER SOLSTICE WONDER

 

Celebrate the Son of God,

The Sun is getting higher…

Though we’re in the thick of night

Let’s raise a blazing fire.

–

Evergreens, eternal life

And hope in winter bringing…

Hark–I hear signs of life—

Winter cardinals singing!

–

Moonlit snow is blinding

To the wide awake…

All of us must ope’ our eyes,

New life to grab and take.

–

Winter’s grip is fading

Despite the coming storms…

Knowing we are in God’s Love

Is knowledge that warms!
