A Christmas Gift of Love: Sabbath lyrics; or, Songs from Scripture

Blending the warmth of faith with the lyricism of devotion, A Christmas Gift of Love: Sabbath Lyrics; or, Songs from Scripture by William Gilmore Simms gathers a collection of sacred poems inspired by Biblical themes, Christian virtue, and the spirit of the holy season. Written by one of America’s foremost nineteenth-century poets, the volume unites the tenderness of Christmas sentiment with the moral beauty of religious reflection.

Simms transforms passages of Scripture into poetic meditations on love, redemption, and divine mercy, inviting readers to contemplate the eternal truths that sanctify everyday life. His verses—graceful, musical, and deeply reverent—capture the union of art and faith, offering comfort and spiritual renewal amid the trials of the mortal world.

A luminous work of religious poetry, this collection stands as both a hymn to Christ’s love and a timeless expression of hope, perfect for the quiet hours of Christmas and the contemplative heart of the Sabbath.
