A Legend

When I was in Primary a long time ago, they put together a book of stories about 24 to count down the days until Christmas. I will share some of them in the coming weeks. My mom would read them to us every year starting the 1st of December. I am thrilled to continue this tradition with my family.

A Legend

There's a beautiful legend

that's never been told

It may been known

To the Wise Men of Old

How three little children

came early at dawn

With hearts that were sad,

To where Jesus was born

One could not see,

One was too lame to play

While the other, a mute

Not a word could he say.

Yet, led by His star,

They came there to peep

At the little Lord Jesus

With eyes closed in sleep.

But how could the Christ Child

So lovely and fair,

Not waken and smile

When He heard their glad prayer

Of hope at his coming,

Of faith in His birth,

Of the praise at His bringing

God's Peace to the earth?

And, then, as the light

Softly came through the door,

The lad that was lame

Stood upright once more.

The boy that was mute

Started sweetly to sing,

While the child that was blind,

Looked with joy on the king.
