A Christmas
hymn written more than 450 years ago portrays an angel announcing the
lowly birth of Jesus and says in response, "Welcome to earth, Thou
noble guest."
We
traditionally convey our welcome with candles in windows, voices in song
and reverence in our hearts.
This week,
the em space also welcomes a guest writer, a former resident of Logan
County, and invites you to take her Christmas greetings to heart.

Christmas
greetings from
a guest writer
|
|
God bless you at
Christmas,
The
day of Christ’s birth,
When
angels from heaven
Came
down to the earth
To
bring the good news
To
the shepherds of old
That
Jesus was born
As
the prophets foretold.
On
Christmas our praises
To
God we should bring
For
sending His Son,
Christ
Jesus, our King.
But
oft He’s forgotten,
And
so Christmas Day
We
celebrate sometimes
A
far different way.
We’re
busy with parties,
And
presents and food,
And
what’s most important
We’re
apt to exclude.
But
Christ is the reason
For
Christmas, and so,
Thank
God for the Savior
He
sent long ago.
Make
Jesus the center
Of
your Christmas Day,
Adore
Him, and ask Him
In
your heart to stay.
Love
Him and serve Him,
The
Savior revere
Not
only at Christmas
But all through the
year.
