A deep royal blue toned the sky on that night
Like a canopy studded with diamonds of light
But what from the earth seemed a strange regal sky
Was a heavenly carpet for angels on high
How they watched through the night
standing row upon row
And gazed down in awe at the chilled earth below
And the earth that night listened as
hymns of God’s love
Rained softly, rained sweetly from heaven above
They sang of God’s mercy, they sang of God’s worth
And from heaven they worshiped
The Christ child on earth.

Mary had the little Lamb, who lived before His birth;
Self-existent Son of God, from Heaven He came to Earth. (Micah 5:2)
Mary had the little Lamb; see Him in yonder stall-
Virgin-born Son of God, to save man from the Fall. (Isaiah 7:14)
Mary had the little Lamb, obedient Son of God;
Everywhere the Father led, His feet were sure to trod. (John 6:38)
Mary had the little Lamb, crucified on the tree
The rejected Son of God, He died to set men free. (1 Peter 1:18)
Mary had the little Lamb-men placed Him in the grave,
Thinking they were done with Him; to death He was no slave! (Matthew 28:6)
Mary had the little Lamb, ascended now is He;
All work on Earth is ended, our Advocate to be. (Hebrews 4:14-16)
Mary had the little Lamb-mystery to behold!
From the Lamb of Calvary, a Lion will unfold. (Revelation 5: 5-6)
When the Day Star comes again, of this be very sure:
It won’t be Lamb-like silence, but with the Lion’s roar. (Psalm 2:12; Revelation 19:11-16)

If our greatest need had been information,
God would have sent us an educator;
If our greatest need had been technology,
God would have sent us a scientist;
If our greatest need had been money,
God would have sent us an economist;
If our greatest need had been pleasure,
God would have sent us an entertainer;
But our greatest need was forgiveness, so
God sent us a Savior.
*************************
Amen.
