A Christmas Prayer Poem by Gert Strydom

Our great redeemer that on this day
was born in Bethlehem and triumphed over sin
take all our hardships, our troubles away
while we come to You and let Your love flow in

to our hearts, our lives and like the shepherds let we see
Your glory and find tranquillity,
have peace in our lives and country
and before You forever be free

and grant that we live as brothers
loving all others
totally unselfishly
as if coming from the same fathers and mothers

and when this joyous day begin
grant us Your blessing.
