The Promised Child
A Poem (rondeau) for Christmas
The promised child, a promised joy,
Joy that will never cloy.
Time transcending,
From everylasting to everlasting.
Miraculously, found in a boy.
Born to Mary and Joseph’s joy,
for the sake of every goy,
God’s purpose intending.
The promised child.
God’s plan to the world deploy,
in a child for all to enjoy.
Our hope, God sustaining,
and uplifting,
in our Lord, Jesus; the boy.
The promised child.
I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him.
Having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints.
Ephesians 1:16–18
