Fifty Christmas Poems for Children, by Florence B. Hyett, [1923], at sacred-texts.com
A CHRISTMAS PRAYER
LOVING looks the large-eyed cow,
Loving stares the long-eared ass
At Heaven's glory in the grass!
Child, with added human birth
Come to bring the child of earth
Glad repentance, tearful mirth,
And a seat beside the hearth
At the Father's knee--
Make us peaceful as thy cow;
Make us patient as thine ass;
Make us quiet as thou art now;
Make us strong as thou wilt be.
Make us always know and see
We are his, as well as thou.
--GEORGE MACDONALD
