Who decreed, "To be counted, let each man go home."

B is for Bethlehem, where Joseph must go.
There he takes Mary, a long way and slow.

C is for Crowds growing larger each day
With more people, more animals filling the way.

D is for Donkey, plodding uphill and down,
To carry young Mary to Bethlehem town.

E is for Evening, when darkness fills,
Shallow valleys and covers low hills.

F is for Flocks ~ the guarded sheep,
Huddled together, fast asleep.

G is for Glory, so splendid, so near.
It shines around the shepherds and fills them with fear.

H is for Heavenly Host, who sing
"Hosanna! Hosanna! Born is the King."

I is for Inn where the innkeeper said
There was not any room, not even a bed.

Cradled in straw in a stable so lowly.

K is for King who was promised of old:
Israel's ruler, by prophets foretold.

L is for Lullaby Mary would sing
To her baby, her lamb, the Messiah, the King.

M is for Manger. There Jesus lay
When awed shepherds found him asleep in the hay.

N is for Night, so quiet, so still,
Peace in the stable. Peace on the hill.

Guarding and watching the new baby stranger.

P is for Presents three kings place before him
With praise and with love as they kneel to adore him.

Q is for Quest that brought them so far
Over desert and mountain, led by a star.

It brightens the stable. It lightens the night.

S is for Stable and Star, and for Story
Of animals, angels, manger, and glory.

T is for Tidings the big bells chime,
Over and over, time after time.

U is for Us. On that Christmas morn
Unto us all a child was born.

V is for Venite, the summons, O come.
Come praise him with harp and with trumpet and drum.

W is for Worship. O come and adore.
In starlight, in candlelight, glad carols soar.

"Gloria in excelsis" their clear voices rang.

Y is for You, for all, everywhere,
Who send those words ringing again through the air.

Z is for Zeeland and Zurich and Zanzibar.
You will be lighting the candles wherever you are.
