Notes About The Poem

Oil Painting By Eve Roper 

This December Night To Pay Reverence To Jesus Our God's Son

This December Night To Pay Reverence to Jesus Our God's Son

Oh! Starry twilight this December night. 
Brilliant Star of Bethlehem glows so high. 
Shadows lighted by the moon slowly dance. 
A sign by, His hand's streaks across the sky!

Angel's dulcet melody echoes flow, 
Embracing the heart's armor of heaven. 
I am who has sent me to genuflect. 
Pay reverence to Jesus our God's son. 

Scintillating eyes and glowing spirits; 
Enthusiasm, pushes my way to look. 
For just a brief moment upon, His face. 
Divine understanding tears overtook; 

To want to lift Him up, hold in my arms.
With humility to submit to Him.
Seek, His spiritual grace and favor. 
With outspread wings, sing praise, a Cherub hymn.

Oh! Starry twilight this December night. 
Brilliant Star of Bethlehem glows so high. 
Shadows lighted by the moon slowly dance. 
A sign by, His hand's streaks across the sky!

Angel's dulcet melody echoes flow, 
Embracing the heart's armor of heaven. 
I am who has sent me to genuflect. 
Pay reverence to Jesus our God's son.
