A manger's lowly rest is His, Whose kingdom everlasting is. The ox and ass - Esaias' word - Knew that the Child was God and Lord. From Sheba come the Magi old, Bring frankincense, and myrrh, and gold; And, bowing at the humble door, Greet one by one their Emperor. Each of our fallen race must own The serpent's wound, save Him alone, Who Cometh meekly thus that we May like Him and His Father be. The Lord, Who blessed is alway Thrice blessed be this Christmas Day. Praise to the Holy Trinity! To God in heaven praises be!

Download or read book Christmas Day written by Paul Durcan and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-09-30 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For most of us Christmas is the season of huge helpings of good food, good drink, and with luck, good cheer, as the rituals of cracker-pulling, present-giving and happy or sulphurous family reunions fizzle and bang through the long afternoon. For anyone who has ever had too much of it, or felt out of it, or wanted to be out of it, or even succeeded in being out of it then been unexpectedly rescued by a good friend, this book-length poem contains a lifeline of humour and sanity in a world run seasonally mad. It is a funny, subversive, melancholy, self-mocking conversation between two men - Paul and Frank - in the top storey flat of a Dublin apartment block; a Stations of Christmas under the influence of "woman-hunger". Once read, Christmas Day itself will never be the same again. The volume also contains a second new work, "A Goose in the Frost", a tribute to Seamus Heaney on winning the Nobel Prize for Literature.
