[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series]

Silent night, special night,
all is dark, comes the Light.
Mary with her first-born child,
by whom we’ll be reconciled.
Saviour sent to redeem. (X2)

Silently, most knew not
sleeping babe, makeshift cot,
held the Gift unique for all,
now awhile for milk must call.
Saviour soon will redeem. (X2)

Simple scene, soon will mean
Herod’s threat, real but yet
Joseph warned, with Jesus fled,
Saviour safe to be our Head:
Teacher died in our stead. (X2)

Tune: "Stille Nacht" by F Gruber, Irregular (tune of 'Silent night, holy night' on which this is partly based)

Beautiful you even got the date right! 20/12/2020 etc. As a poem on it's own it already is brilliant (that is, the hymn itself not you!) Inspired. You would certainly be able to use it in worship as it is.

Have great week Rhiannon take it easy we hear scary things from there.

Thank you, Nolan.

If you refer to the new covid strain, we all have to trust through life wherever we are. Rhiannon
