Blessings in Little Things

We celebrate in little things
     That purify the heart;
The joy that in our family brings
     Christ’s blessings to impart

He came to us in littleness—
     A Baby in a crib—
Such power in His gentleness
     For God is never glib.

He speaks in Baby’s still, small voice
     And smiles in Mary’s face;
Sees her who for us made her choice
     To save the human race.

A Mediatrix she becomes—
     Stands always by His side—
Has never to our sin succumbed,
     For in Him she abides.

Through Cross and grave, through empty tomb,
    She follows only Son,
Who lived His life within her womb
     And all our sin undone.

In all the ever-after years
     Will Christmas always be;
From sin and death and all our fears
     We always will be free.
