Merry Christmas

Whether your holiday is quiet, a riot or something in between, enjoy the season of candy canes and cookies and presents. Give more than you get especially if the gift you give is love and understanding to your relatives and friends. Sometimes that’s all anybody ever needs. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

  5. God rest ye merry, gentlemen, let nothing you dismay,

    For Jesus Christ, our Savior, was born on Christmas Day,

    To save us all from Satan’s power when we were gone astray. Refrain.

    Refrain: O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy;O tidings of comfort and joy!

    From God, our heavenly Father, a blessed angel came:

    And unto certain shepherds brought tidings of the same:

    How that in Bethlehem was born the Son of God by name.

     Refrain.

    “Fear not, then,” said the angel, “Let nothing you affright;

    This day is born a Savior, of a pure virgin bright,

    To free all those who trust in Him from Satan’s power and might.” 

    Refrain.

    Now to the Lord sing praises, all you within this place,

    And with true love and brotherhood each other now embrace;

    This holy tide of Christmas all anger should efface. 

    Refrain.
