If we ask the children
about Bethlehem,
and signal them to tell us why
Christmas comes again.
If they’ve heard the Gospel
of Jesus’ love for them,
they will say “It’s running
to see what angels said!”^
They will see the Christchild
among travelled men,
be all the wiser for it,
about mercy come to a crib.
If the grown move over,
let little ones pretend,
these will then when older
embrace Saviour as Friend.^^
