Poetry

---

There will be no gloom for you,
Those who have been in anguish;
As long as you will construe,
Not letting yourself languish.

In past times you had contempt,
But later a splendid day;
You changed having an attempt,
No more desire to stray.

For those who walked in the dark,
Finally saw a great light;
Who had dwelt had to embark,
Where the light had shone so bright.

God multiplied the nation,
For increasing of its joy;
Giving us celebration,
With having hope to employ.

Rejoice before you do sleep,
While seeing the bright star;
Because the joy that you reap,
Brings you the hope from afar.

For the burden of your yoke,
Resting upon your shoulders;
Appearing angels that spoke,
Of faith for the beholders.

The rod of the oppressor,
Has been broken on that day;
Strikes fear in the aggressor,
That will try to make you stray.

Each boot of the warrior,
With victory in battle;
Show they are superior,
Hears the flames that do brattle.

For us a child is born,
To us a Son is given;
A Mighty God to sojourn,
Given to us from Heaven.

The wonderful Prince of Peace,
His government with no end;
Reigning that will never cease,
Not just God but our friend.

The Lord of Hosts uses zeal,
Bringing judgment on the earth;
Making each of us to kneel,
Confessing for a new birth.
