How
silently, how silently,
the
wondrous gift is given;
so
God imparts to human hearts
the
blessings of His heaven.
No
ear may hear His coming,
but
in this world of sin,
where
meek souls will receive Him, still
the
dear Christ enters in. (From “O Little Town of Bethlehem” by
Phillips Brooks)
This is Christmas: not the tinsel, not the giving and receiving, not even the carols, but the humble heart that receives anew the wondrous gift, the Christ.
