This Is the night of His coming to earth: Christ in the darkness is waiting His birth. All is now ready, and each in their place, planets and people, this moment of grace. This is the hour when a Mother must wait, wait until labour comes, early or late: this is the moment the Babe in her womb knocks on the door of a carpenter’s home. This is the hour when we sinners despair; this is the hour when the angels declare peace upon earth to all those of goodwill: shepherds see glory on Bethlehem’s hill. This is the night: let a trumpet be blown! Never again shall love wear such a crown! This is the hour when our souls find release: welcome to Him who has come to make peace!
