O Holy One Thou Didst Come

It's been a long while since I've posted anything.  I've wanted to, but...I just didn't and I'm not exactly sure why.  Finally today though I thought I would post a poem that I wrote earlier in Advent.
Peace to you in this most holy season.
Paul+



O Holy One thou didst come
to bid my soul to thee.

The Son of God through pain and groans
thou wast born for me.

This night thou sleeps in angel’s arms
upon the Virgin’s breast.

But Calvary is thy fate dear child
for there salvation rest.

The saints rejoice and heaven sings
                  for death has lost its sting.

Sin no longer claims my soul
                  God’s mercy thou didst bring.

O Holy One thou didst come
                  to live and die for me.

For in thy love, the Word made flesh
                  thou hast set thy people free.
