'a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." ' (Luke 2:13 - 14)
What? What do you mean my posts have had a Christmas theme lately? You implying I have Christmas on the brain? Nonsense!
This evening, some of our family went to a carol service at an Anglican church. Listening to the choir in the dark building, lit only by candles, was amazing.
But the words...
"Sleep is over, the cold is past,
The star has shown the world at last
That death's defeated, Christ is come.
Man's wait is done..."(Winter's Wait, Robert Tear)
Even the classics we sing again and again each year.
"He came down to earth from heaven,
Who is God and Lord of all...' (Once in Royal David's City)
Thank you God, for the talent of the people who wrote these carols. Thank you for the marvellous truths they remind us of. May we never forget them!
