Hail and Hail, My Friend

Hallelujah

Christ stands near.

Besides you, before you,

His arms raised in blessing.

Hallelujah

Born one year

So humble and so great.

Time’s time is lessening.

Hallelujah

Shepherds fear.

After a star, men came.

Their faith put to testing.

Hallelujah

Do you hear?

Model Him.  Follow Him

                                                                     And you’ll feel His resting
