New buds in spring
Summer’s warm magic
Winter’s cold ring--
Coming and going
Time’s rise and fall
Years building ages
Time touching all--
So our lives mingle
So our lives blend
So our lives struggle
So our lives end.
High above meaning
Wider than mind
Deeper than sorrow
Kinder than kind
God stands before us
Wonder in one
Loving with passion
Sending his Son--
Power in weakness
Heaven in hay
God’s incarnation
With us this day.
IMMANUEL!
