Three Lights That Night

Three Lights That Night

There were Three Lights that night when our Christ was born. All holy and perfect acting as Three in One.

Pure were they and that quiet night so bright. Our Christ would come bringing salvation, He to reign in might.

Delivered to us was He in means so humble. Yet the heavens filled with those proclaiming His Kingly arrival.

Their cry of the prophet who foretold of His coming. There would be "Glory to God" and peace forthcoming.

The shepherds they ran to see the child so proclaimed. And find Him they did in a manger He lay.

Proclaimed to the world by these shepherds so startled. Jesus the Son made His perfect arrival.

The kings of countries to see Him they traveled. At the Christ child they were sent Him by God in it they marvel.

And came they did baring gifts of old. Gold, frankincense, and myrrh in them found a sacred lifetime foretold.

That child would die on cross in years. Salvation and righteousness brought to those who would fear.

Born again to Him they would call themselves a new. It was Christ who made it possible from the beginning He knew.

Death would be bitter and cold for His Father withdrew. But life again in three days His world now renewed.

Jesus, God incarnate, was born to us on that bright night. One Light in Three His perfect purpose in man’s plight.
