Symbols Of Christmas
Wrapping all our presents for family and friends;
a symbol of Christ’s royal birth: God’s love this message sends.
Grace said at the table; special at Christmas time;
a symbol of Christ’s worth to us: heads bowed a thankful sign.
Lovely wreath of holly; sharp leaves and berries red;
a symbol of Christ’s crown of thorns placed cruelly on His head.
Common Christmas candy; red stripe on plain white cane;
a symbol of Christ’s wounded flesh: reminds us of Man’s shame.
Carols proclaim our God; our deepest need thus stirred;
a symbol of Christ’s glory told and sung till all have heard.
To church at Christmastime and often through the year;
a symbol of Christ’s honour due from those who, Him, revere.
