“See This Child”
(a Christmas poem)
December 6, 2016
See this child for whom all things
are made and by whom held.
This mighty one, begotten Son,
has come with men to dwell.
See this child with undefiled
nature now asleep.
This righteous one, beloved Son,
will scorn and murder reap.
See this child with tiny hands,
who cries and must be fed.
This lowly one, a virgin’s Son,
is everlasting bread.
See this child with infant smile
whom heavenly host proclaim.
This worthy one, the royal Son,
shall be for sinners slain.
See this child in swaddling cloths
and in a manger laid.
This gentle one, the promised Son,
has come to kill the grave.
