Notes About The Poem

O Christ Child Devine

O Christ Child Devine
One enchanted night came sweet Angel singing Proclaiming peace was descending down to earth On wings of love a baby boy was winging Souls filled with mirth rejoiced the holy birth The Saviour arrived to a bright new dawning Faith and hope appeared as Mary’s boy was born Bowed down on knees in praise that Christmas morning Christ Child Divine, unto you our souls are sworn O Christ, Holy Christ, O Christ Child Divine Son of God your beacon of light gleams brightly Beaming through our heart, spirit, soul and mind We will serve you all we can uprightly As did Wise Men following a star, as they’d been assigned Kings of orient made that journey too And shepherds who’d been on watch all night through They all came bearing gifts as an offering To a babe in a manger, Christ Child Devine A babe in a manger, O Christ Child Devine.

Dear Belle, your lyric is exquisite and flows wonderfully with the melody of O Holy Night. A perfect pairing and a precious psalm, my friend. You’re golden heart and artistic pen shine with true spirit of Christmas. My warmest wishes for you and your husband.. ~Susan

Just beautiful Belle. O Holy Night is one of my favorite carols. I have had the privilege of singing it as a solo for many a Christmas Eve service or concert. You have created a beautiful new lyric. Sending you blessings! Best wishes for the contest.

Thank you Victor, we’re needing prayers, Alan having lots of blood transfusions, he’s still bleeding internally and they still can’t find where the source is. He’s very weak and is still being fed intravenously. Belle
