There Will I Go

Merry Christmas!

Light looked down and beheld darkness.

There will I go, said Light.

Peace looked down and beheld war.

There will I go, said Peace.

Love looked down and beheld hate.

There will I go said Love.

So Light came, and shone.

So Peace came, and gave rest.

So Love came and gave light.

And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.

-Laurence Housman
