Light Triumphant
In the depths of London town
Gutters, shambles, broken down
Whiskey, gin spilled on the street
Pockets picked by nimble feet
Sally Anne with brassy joy
Catches ear of girl and boy
‘Bout a child who had no home
Pure with promise; made to roam
Magic ‘neath a Star so bright
Come to give the downcast light.
This the hope of Yuletide charm
Entered Yahweh’s strong right arm
Entered shepherd for the lost
Entered hope at matchless cost.
…If you take a right turn here
Cross the courtyard, damp and clear
Pull the gate and climb the stair
You will find an urchin there
She with tones so clear and bright
Sings a holy “Silent Night”.
