Oh, may we keep and ponder in our mind
God’s wondrous love in saving lost mankind!
Trace we the babe, who hath retrieved our loss,
From His poor manger to His bitter cross,
Tread in His steps, assisted by His grace,
Till our imperfect state God doth replace.
Then may we hope, angelic hosts among,
To sing, redeemed, a glad triumphal song:
He that was born upon this joyful day
Around us all His glory shall display.
Saved by His love, incessant we shall sing
Eternal praise to Heaven’s almighty King.
John Byrom

I love that song! It's neat b/c the opening verses trace the whole Christmas story and the ending verses tell of what God's love means for us.
Enjoy your chocolate candy canes everybody! :)
Oops.
As I was going to say...
Thanks, they are!
They got them through a Christmas colouring contest. Quite exciting for them! :)
Ohhhh! That explains it! M and I had to zoom in on that photo to be sure they weren't carob canes!
