Christmas Poetry

THREE WISE ONES

The three wise men
Traveled for days before reaching Bethlehem
And arrived after the birth
They stood and viewed the scene in awe
And knelt reverently in the lords presence
Then gave their gifts of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh

The three wise women
Would have stopped to ask directions
And arrived before the birth
They would have delivered the baby
Then they would have cleaned the stable and cooked a meal
Before giving the baby really useful gifts

CHRISTMAS ALPHABET

Angels from on high
Behold we bring newsChrist is coming
Do not be afraidEmmanuel is comingFollow yonder star
Go to BethlehemHosanna God be praised

In the town of Bethlehem Jesus was bornKneeling shepherds before him
Lowing beasts in attendanceMagi from the east
Noel, noel, noel

On the first morning
Peace came to the worldQuelling fear and pain
Rekindling the light
Saviour son of God
The prince of peace was born
Uniting the world

Verily the most
Wondrous of times
Xmas festival of love
Yule tide of good will
Zion brought to earth
