Behold in liturgical time
Both natural and ecclesial
The bowing of the trees
The lifting of the hands
The giving of the leaves
The enacting of nativity
The gowning of the ground in white
The singing of the old hymns
The fasting of the daylight
The reciting of ancient tales
The practice of grace
Grace came down bearing gifts
Grace upon grace
The virgin lectern pregnant with the word
looking for room
The water frozen soon to flow
The Christmas feast of bread and wine
The dayspring
Immanuel
