When deepest darkness hides the soul, that only knows to mourn
A far off light Isaiah holds, a child is to be born
To shepherds, mother and a priest, the angels first proclaim
The glory of his majesties, and “Do not be afraid”
A silence of four hundred years, the people did endure
Past echoes of messiah near, his prophecies assure
The psalmist utters painful sighs, how long, how long, O Lord?
In manger does a baby cry, our hope is now restored
A grief amidst the watching wait, redeemer do they seek
In temple Anna fasts and prays, may God his promise keep
Lamenting long does Simeon kneel, for Saviour to console
Messiah child, it is revealed, your very arms will hold
Though long it took the doubt is quelled, his faithfulness is true
No single word has he withheld, we find our hopes renew
New faith this glimpse of glory lends, a human God became
And this is how our story ends, he will come again
May you and your loved ones have a merry Christmas. –The Morning Walk Team
