Merry Christmas to Adam's Race!

                
 Hypostasis

With his infant hands,

          All stars are held in place.

The brightest one stands

          To shine upon the face

Of Him who expands

          And orders all matter, space.

So emptied---into finite man,

          Here born, lays Eternal Grace.
Bound now within time’s span;

          His flesh-clad feet will trace

An ancient redemptive plan

          To re-create Adam’s race---   
With His Infinite Hands.
