In the City of David

In the City of David

A canopy of shimmers

(with one King strong)

Globed that night

When the angel spoke tidings

And the song of the flute

Came to the field,

When the knighthood of heaven

Praised with the Godsong of wonder

For the ushered child

Of the manger,

The Christ Child,

Whose man hand would thrust

The heart of humanity

Against the Source of love,

Whose death would fuse

The gap of sin,

Whose resurrection would shake

The world with victory.
