Rachel’s Cry
A Babe in Advent’s womb
Is heard in Rachel’s cry:
"Make not that womb a tomb
Where Son of God will die.
"Among us let Him live
To give new life to all;
Conception Image gives
God’s purpose ‘fore the Fall.
"Let Him redeem each child
In mothers’ wombs conceived
And save from Satan’s guile
Each baby we receive.
"May Christmas come anew
In every mother’s heart,
As Mary’s ‘yes’ imbues
Each mother from the start.
"May each in Advent grow
Until for all will come
First Christmas each child knows
As earth made heaven’s home."
- W.E. Knickerbocker, Jr.
