Gems for the Week
December 27 - 28
"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord." (Luke 2:11)
"Unto you is born this day a Saviour"
Which is Jesus Christ the wondrous Lord;
Not a "teacher," not a "good example,"
But the Son of God, the Living Word.
No "philosopher," His fancies weaving,
Warp of dreams and woof of visions vast,
Not a "prophet," peering down the future,
Not a "scholar," delving in the past.
"Unto you is born this day a Saviour';
Shine, O star! and shout, O angel voice!
Unto you this precious gift is given;
Sing, O earth! and all ye Heavens, rejoice!
Long the world has waited such a Saviour,
Sunk in sin and torn by fear and doubt:
Long in darkness groped for truth and wisdom;
Glory, glory, now the light shines out!
"Unto you is born this day a Saviour,"
Earth's one hope, the Life, the Truth, the Way,
Mighty God and glorious Redeemer,
Jesus Christ the Lord is born today.
(Annie Johnson Flint)
