These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Carols

Christmas hymns and carols, too,
can fill each wintry night
with praise and worship, heartfelt true,
attending stars so bright.

Fill, Lungs, with breath, and lift great worth
to Jesus, He, Who died,
and rose, again, in lasting Birth
from stable birth applied.

Now, sing we gifts from hearts of flesh
to the Son, Who's God and Man.
He laid on hay within the creche
by God's eternal Plan.

I know no song, that's better fit
to praise His saving Gift
than Christmas carols, hymns so writ
the heart to daily lift.

The Silent, ever Holy Night
is Still, and Still, and Still.
Eternity is ever right
to suit His lasting Will.
