Today

Today the Savior is born
In a cave of the earth
From the womb of a virgin,
And She lays Him in a manger
Made for feeding
The unreasoning beasts.
Today the angels praise Him
With their celestial voices,
The shepherds with their rustic notes.
Today a star appears
In the firmament
And the Magi begin
Their journey to Joseph’s home.
Today we experience
These things anew
And treasure them in our hearts,
For the Grace of God
Is not beholden
To the limits
Of time and space
​But overturns them for our sake.
