Merry Christmas to You

O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear Saviour’s birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining.
Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices!
O night divine, the night when Christ was born;
O night, O Holy Night , O night divine!
O night, O Holy Night , O night divine!

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
O’er the world a star is sweetly gleaming,
Now come the wisemen from out of the Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus lowly manger;
In all our trials born to be our friends.
He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger,
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!

Truly He taught us to love one another,
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother.
And in his name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
With all our hearts we praise His holy name.
Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we,
His power and glory ever more proclaim!
His power and glory ever more proclaim!

Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas. May we look past the glitter and glitz of the season to the very heart of what this Holiday is all about.  The birth of our Lord and Savior, who came to earth as a tiny baby, lived a sinless life, gave his life for our sins, and rose from the dead victorious over sin and death.  Because of this, we can all have eternal life forevermore IF we accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of our lives. Oh, how I hope you have done that!

John 14:6 (NIV)

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through me.”

May the peace of this Christmas go with you all into the new year and always.  I’m so grateful for all of you this year too.  It is totally amazing how this internet world brings us all together, wherever we might live.

Go, rest, and remember Him!

Just for this weekend, enjoy O Holy Night, by Josh Groban as you visit me.
