Like Mary let us ponder in our mind
God’s wondrous love in saving lost mankind!
Trace we the Babe, who hath retrieved our loss,
From His poor manger to His bitter cross,
Tread in His steps, assisted by His grace,
Till man’s first heav’nly state again takes place.
Then may we hope, th’angelic hosts among,
To sing, redeemed, a glad triumphal song.
He that was born upon this joyful day
Around us all His glory shall display.
Saved by His love, incessantly we sing
Eternal praise to Heav’n’s almighty King.
~ From “Christians, Awake, Salute the Happy Morn” by John Byrom
I hope you have a very special, Christ-centered celebration
as you rejoice in the birth of our Savior!
Merry Christmas!
A blessed joy filled Christmas to you to Barbara. May you enjoy your family and the blessings of our Dear Father God. “Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable gift.” (2 Corinthians 9:15)
It’s wonderful to celebrate His first coming even as we look forward to His second. Merry Christmas, Barbara!
