Christmas


 

A legacy  of love
a legacy of light
and hope. Promise fulfilled
How it came upon a 
midnight clear with
angelic voices heard on high 
singing Gloria in excelsis Deo.
All is calm, all is bright
round yon Virgin, mother 
and child…
O holy night, the stars 
are brightly shining
O night divine
Peace on earth, and mercy mild
God and sinner reconciled 
Sing all ye citizens of 
heaven above;
Joy to the world 
the bread of life has come
For he will be 
named wonderful counselor,
Mighty God, everlasting father,
Prince of peace

( with recognition to the beautiful, traditional 
Christmas songs; and Isaiah 9:6)

Gaudete,gaudete Christus 
est natus Ex Maria
virgine, gaudete!
