“The Gift,” Friend, Dec. 1993, 32–33
The Gift
And there came a voice out of heaven saying: This is my beloved Son (D&C 93:15).
Softly glowing starlight
From Christmas skies above
Reminds me of another star,
A symbol of God’s love.
I seem to see a stable
Bathed in heaven’s radiant light,
A tiny baby sleeping
On a still and holy night.
I hear the choirs of angels,
See shepherds, Wise Men too!
Hope lay wrapped in heaven’s light,
God’s gift to me and you.
The twinkling of each tiny star
In God’s bright heaven above
Reminds me of that treasured night
He sent the world His Son.
