Advent to Candlemas (Vol. 5)

Conversation

Where is the new born child
Born long ago?
Is he a little lamb
Lost in the snow?

Nay, all the stars proclaim
He is alive.
He lives in David's name;
He will survive.

Send soldiers after him
And all his peers;
May David's lamp grow dim,
Sodden with tears.

Though blood flows in the street
That lamb has fled,
To sit in David's seat
When you are dead.
