Jesus Asleep-- A Poem

Jesus Asleep

That Source whose Light 

is the light of creation,

Slept, a baby, on a bed of hay.

That King whose Hope 

is a stream of salvation,

Slumbered, a Man, through the rising waves.

He, who approached with perfection His purpose

of being mankind's one Light and one Hope,
Got tired, laid down, and slept.
