winter solstice 2020.

For Dr. Jeffery Carter. Set to the tune of the X-mas carol “The truth sent from above.” The Longest Night as told on earth. Foretelling of a Savior's Birth. Fixed betwixt the earth and sky A silvery star to guide us by. The lands forlong and sad at heart With shepherds close, playing their part. Set betwixed the earth and star The dusty road the trav’lers trod. Oh Star! Oh Rose in the Longest Night Contained on Earth, the Child foretold. To me--for me .My Savior lies In manger bed, the restless night.. Oh Child for me, thy love contained The Key of Heav'en, on earth remain’d By thorn oh Rose, the starless night My heart burst forth in freedom light The longest night as told on earth Foretelling of a lil’ child's birth. Fixed between the earth and sky The child of hea’vn I hear his cry. He cries on earth, his pain reposed Of Death and Love, on earth remain Of War and Peace that child doth cry Oh child of earth Emannuel. In hushed tones over the starry night The child's arrival, and angels sing. Of Peace and Love in the silvery light. Foretelling of a Savior Bright!
