THE QUIET HOUR



Amid the Christmas rush and noise


Of Christmas trees and childrens toys


Of gift and bow and mistletoe


And presents laid out in a row


We need to take a quiet hour


To contemplate all Heaven’s power


Which sent to earth our Heavenly King


When angels in the realm did sing


And in a quiet manger lay


A baby boy upon the hay


There, in that silent place, we find


The focus of all space and time.
