The the sun went down that single night, and death was near at hand
for those who claimed a Savior would be born in far-off land.
Instead of angels heralding the wondrous news so bright,
assassins stalked the cities to bring murder in the night.
But the sun, superfluous to all the West that eve,
was not needed for great brilliance to suddenly conceive.
The earth was bathed in such great light that moon and stars did fade
before the glowing birth of Christ, as righteous Nephi prayed.
And those who dealt in death were scorched, and were sore amazed,
by the rich and lucent fire of the elements that blazed.
Today may all the death-mongers take heed that Christ's pure light
is stronger still than any weapon formed in darkest night.
