Mystery In The Manger

Christmas Joy is never-ending

When humble hearts receive

The gift of cradle and the cross

The moment they believe

The Mystery in the manger

Was truly God made known

The eternal gift of heaven

Through the cross of Christ alone

. . .an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said,

“Joseph son of David,

do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife,

because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

She will give birth to a son,

and you are to give him the name Jesus,

because he will save his people from their sins.”

- Matthew 1:20-21
