Sing a Song of Advent

In the mid 1990s, a young girl at Holy Name School in Camden, NJ, penned the following verse. For me, it's always been a harbinger of Christmas! During these delightful and dark December days, I wish you peace. - Rick
********************************************
Sing a Song of Christmas
Baby in the hay
Shepherds in hillside
Kings from far away.
Star from heaven beaming
Turning night to day
Son of God redeeming
Loving sin away

Sing a Song of Friday
Crosses on a hill
Nails and thorns and whiplash
All gathered for the kill

Sing a Song of Easter
Tomb flung open wide
Bandages left lying
Angels there beside
Women come to weep for Him
Sent from there in Joy
Followers who trust Him
Death cannot destroy!

Sing a Song of Sunday
Christians in the pews
Gathered to adore Him
To hear the Great Good News
Then go forth to serve Him
Peace and Justice seek
Find him in the poorest
Love him in the meek!

- Charese Browning, 8th Grade, Holy Name School, Camden NJ, 1995
