These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

The Best of Christmas Evermore

What do I seek from Christmas Day?
Is it the things I then may get?
Is it the lights of bright display?
Is it the hungry needs so met?

The Best of Christmas Evermore
is He, Who died upon the tree,
The Light of Life to farthest shore,
The Greatest Gift to you and me.

This Babe, Who laid in manger low
redeems each heart, that He has called.
The greatest Christmas Joy to know
His Resurrection no more palled.

The Best of Christmas ever blest
is knowing, that the Day won't end.
The Joy is found in Arms to rest,
and Saving Grace from Wrath to fend.

The music of the Christmas hymns
need never stop, nor lose their style.
His Victory, it ever wins,
and Hope is found in His Blest Smile.
