Small Voices by Raymond A. Foss


Small voices, raised to the rafters
singing their hearts out in the familiar story -
the tale of the Babe and His parents
sharing His birth with donkeys and lamb,
with shepherds and wise men from the east
marveling at the wonder of His birth
in that humble place so long ago -
hearing the words of the story again
richer perhaps in the telling with little voices
echoing throughout the sanctuary . . .
a bit noisier perhaps; but a wonderful place to be

as originally prepared:

Christmas Pageants

Small voices, raised to the rafters
singing their hearts out in the familiar story
the tale of the babe and his parents
sharing his birth with donkeys and lamb,
with shepherds and wise men from the east
marveling at the wonder of his birth
in that humble place so long ago
hearing the words of the story again
richer perhaps in the telling with little voices
echoing throughout the sanctuary
a bit noisier perhaps; but a wonderful
place to be
