How many small towns?
How many inns?
And how many stables
As shelter for Him?

 

How many mangers
There for His bed?
How many stars
That night overhead?

 

How many gifts
Did each Wiseman bring,
To honor and praise
Their new born King?

 

How many angels?
How many doves?
How many signs
Shown from above?

 

How many songs?
How many prayers?
How many blessings
Needed to share?

 

How many Gospels?
How many Words?
How many Tidings
Given and heard?

 

How many Fathers,
How many Sons?
How many Saviors
For everyone?

 

How many crowns

Of thorns on His head?

How many tears

That day for Him shed?

 

How many Nails.
Placed in each hand?
How many Crosses,
Martyred this Man?

 

How many tombs
Could not hold Him in?
How many times
Did He arise then?

 

How many Lambs,
Shed blood with love?
How many pardons
From God above?
