Merry Christmas!

"That night some shepherds were in the fields outside the village, guarding their flocks of sheep. Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared among them, and the radiance of the Lord's glory surrounded them. They were terribly frightened, but the angel reassured them. "Don't be afraid," he said. "I bring you good news of great joy for everyone. The Savior--yes, the Messiah, the Lord!--has been born tonight in Bethlehem, the city of David. And this is how you will recognize him: You will find a baby lying in a manger, wrapped snugly in strips of cloth." (Luke 2:8-12)

It's snowing! We got a white Christmas after all. :-)

A fun Christmas link.

Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the new born King!"
Peace on earth, and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled.
Joyful, all ye nations, rise,
Join the triumph of the skies;
With th' angelic host proclaim,
"Christ is born in Bethlehem."
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the new born King!"

Christ, by highest heav'n adored:
Christ the everlasting Lord;
Late in time behold Him come,
Offspring of the virgin's womb.
Veil'd in flesh, the Godhead see;
Hail, the incarnate Deity:
Pleased, as man, with men t' appear,
Jesus, our Emmanuel here!
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the new born King!"

Hail! the heav'n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail! the Son of Righteousness!
Light and life to all he brings,
Ris'n with healing in his wings;
Mild he lays his glory by,
Born that man no more may die:
Born to raise the sons of earth,
Born to give them second birth.
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the new born King!"
