Hope and Gratitude

Hope and gratitude
humble before our God
pillars of the season
the beginning and the end

Hope for his coming
grateful when he came
hopeful in His promise
to return in victory

Grateful for the Christ-child
God who came down
descending from the heavens
that we may wear a crown

Marked with eternity
though walking in the dust
returning to heaven
to prepare a place for us
