Together in Peace - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

Through Christ only
the new King from David
the Messiah prophesied
who came to the earth

Only through Jesus
the wolf and the lamb
will lay down
together in peace

Only in the Christ-child
the man who climbed Calvary
only in our Savior
is the breached healed

Only Emmanuel
God with us
able to remove the stain
to free us from death
