“This is no time for a child to be born,
With the earth betrayed by war & hate
And a comet slashing the sky to warn
That time runs out & the sun burns late.
“That was no time for a child to be born,
In a land in the crushing grip of Rome;
Honor & truth were trampled by scorn-
Yet here did the Savior make his home.
“When is the time for love to be born?
The inn is full on the planet earth,
And by a comet the sky is torn-a
Yet Love still takes the risk of birth.”
