My life flows on in
endless song
Above Earth's lamentation
I hear the real though far off hymn
That hails a new creation.
Through all the tumult and the strife,
I hear that music ringing
It sounds an echo in my soul
How can I keep from singing.
--Robert Lowry, 1860

reflection on what we celebrate at Christmas.
