Sleeping In A Mother’s Arms

Description

What is this sleeping in a young mother’s arms? What has God given that she holds in her arms? Born while the angels sing, Born to be future King. What is this sleeping in her arms?

What is she thinking of this child in her arms? What sound more treasured, than its cries in her arms? Sounds of a life begun, Sounds meant for ev’ry one. What is this sleeping in her arms?

What is this blessing swaddled warm in her arms? Long promised blessing in her tired, loving arms?  Man and God both in One, Man and God: Chosen Son. What is this blessing in her arms?

What is His coming to a warm mother’s arms? Son of the Highest, in her frail human arms? Love sent to ev’ry man, Love in her gentle hands. Love lies here sleeping in her arms!
