Cool Song I'd Never Heard Before

Here's another song I came across in the hymnal. It's called "Our Savior's Infant Cries Were Heard." It was written by Thomas Troeger, who wrote:
Our Savior's infant cries were heard and met by human love,
Before He preached one saving word or prayed to God above.

By trusting Christ to human care, God blessed forever more
the care of children everywhere--the bruised, the lost, the poor.

Whoever calms a child by night or guides a youth by day
serves Him whose birth by lantern light was on a bed of hay.

For Christ, who was a refugee from Herod and his sword,
is seeking now, thro' us, to be our children's friend and Lord.


I probably don't need to explain why this is such a beautiful song in my and Stephanie's minds. I hope that you are blessed by reading it and most of all by being reminded of how amazing it is that the Agent of Creation took human nature upon Himself to save from sin!
