The Eternal Gift Author unknown
|
|
He did
not use a silvery box
|
|
Or paper
green and red.
|
|
God laid
His Christmas Gift to men
|
|
Within a manger bed
|
|
No silken
cord was used to bind
|
|
The Gift
sent from above,
|
|
'Twas wrapped
in swaddling cloths and bound
|
|
In cords of tender love.
|
|
There was
no evergreen to which
|
|
His precious
Gift was tied.
|
|
Upon a
bare tree high on a hill
|
|
His Gift was hung....and died
|
|
'Twas taken
down from off the tree
|
|
And in
a grave was laid the precious Son of God,
|
|
But death
itself could not destroy
|
|
The precious Gift of God
|
|
With mighty
hand He lifted Him
|
|
From out
the stony grave
|
|
Forevermore
for everyman
|
|
An eternal
Gift He gave
