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!
