The Christmas Gospel

For God, the Lord of Earth and Heaven,
So loved and longed to see forgiven
The world, in sin and pleasure mad,
That He gave the greatest Gift He had,
His only begotten Son, to take our place,
That whosoever - oh, what grace!--
Believeth placing simple trust
In Him, the righteous and the just,
Should not perish lost in sin
But have everlasting life in Him.

This beautiful, Ann. Did you write it?

Oops, now I see the "author unknown."

Actually, I added the "author unknown" after your first comment made me realize I'd forgotten to put it! :-)
