Poetry

---

When the hearts are sad and minds are numb
And happiness folds its wings;
When the world around looks gray and grim
We need the hope that Jesus brings!

When people fight and hatred reigns
In nations and their kings;
When none can help them all through life
They need the peace that Jesus brings!

When I am hurt by cruel hands and tongues
And a cruel action that stings;
When none can soothe me and calm my mind
I need the light that Jesus brings!

If hearts are full of greed and lust
And hate and such-like things;
When we look around for some comfort
We need the peace that Jesus brings!

God gives me life, health and friendship
A mind to think and a voice to sing,
But the gift I value most of all
Is the gracious hope that Jesus brings!

But where to find this Prince of Light?
To probe the evil in deep that clings
I seek him there in that hillside crib
To fill me with the light that Jesus brings!
