Ninth Day in Advent

"Bubbas sleeping." Tucked up by the children in church on Sunday.

Not the powerful, not the privileged,
not the famous in the land,
but the no-ones and the needy
were the first to hold God's hand.


Not a well-established family
with an heirloom christening shawl,
but a homeless, wandering couple
parented the Lord of All.

a selection from Hymn 288 in Together in Song words by John L Bell (Wild Goose Publications) used on the second Sunday in Advent
