Hope: A Christmas Poem

Winter, for all its cold and drear

Is a season of hope overcoming fear.

Back through the ages, down through time,

There’s special hope at Christmastime.

One night long ago, a light

Came to this world, all wrapped in white.

The Savior of the world was born

To save our sin-sick world forlorn.

Oh, what hope was born that night,

Oh, what joy, oh, what a light.

But oh, what deep solemnity –

Yes, such hope, but they didn’t see.

And there is still in this days’ time

A special hope at Christmastime:

That this same Savior, just as He came

Will come and deliver His people from pain.

Oh, what great and blessed hope;

Better far than anyone wrote;

That someday soon this light will shine

And we’ll live in heaven for eternal time.

Yet, oh, what deep solemnity –

Yes, such hope; Oh Lord, may we see.
