Without Christmas there would be no Easter,
No Christ Child to rescue those fallen on earth,
No grace to give us reason to hope,
No joy or peace, nor the presence of eternal love.
No angels would have announced his birth,
No Shepherds would come to worship Him.
No wise men would come to present the gifts,
To foretell the agony and torture of His death.
No one to take our place on the cross,
No Saviour to shed his blood for us,
No removal of the stain of our sin,
No such thing as everlasting life in the presence of the king.
So celebrate Christmas
The birth of the Redeemer,
Savour the Hope, Peace and Joy,
Remembering the child born to die on the cross!
