Softly a light is stealing,
Sweetly a maiden sings,
Ever wakeful, ever wistful.
Watching faithfully, thankfully, tenderly
Her King of kings:
"My soul doth magnify the Lord:
And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior."
Mary her song to Jesus
Softly, serenely sings:
"I will love you, I will serve you,
May my lullaby glorify, magnify
My King of kings."
-- Andrew Carter, Mary's Magnificat
Happiest Christmas wishes to all of you! If you hear the bells on Christmas Day, as in the
poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, reflect on how each of us can make their "old familiar carol" a reality: "peace on earth, good will to men."
