Christmas Sacrament

His sacrament for us at Christmas comes
In Him, unites our human, His divine
In Person of our Father’s only Son–
Gives us Himself, transforms our bread and wine.

His Spirit came to Mary in her home
To ask her for her maidenly consent,
And she gave Him her body for His own
As veil ‘tween heaven, earth by Him is rent.

At Bethlehem, of Mary He is born
In stable where He’s held by Virgin Maid,
And poor and wise see in Him Easter morn
That’s now for us on altar by Church laid.

The One who comes at Christmas dies on Cross
And rises on the altar–is not lost.
