A glimmer of hope
slipped into the world,
arriving with love
at our Savior’s birth,
a promise
fulfilled that was long foretold,
with divine light
piercing the darkness of earth.
That hope leapt
into the hearts of shepherds
at the angel’s
appearance with great news of joy.
It swelled with
the praises to God in the highest
because of the
coming of this holy baby boy.
The shepherds
hurried to find the infant
lying in a manger
filled with hay.
Hope overflowed
with love and amazement
on seeing the
precious gift from God where He lay.
This hope gleams
on in us today,
flickering,
growing, steady and bright,
bringing joy and
peace that Jesus conveys
into lives
receptive to God’s holy light.
