The Daily Gouge

It’s Christmas Day, 2011….and today we honor birth of the true King:

And behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.  He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest, and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David.

Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!”
Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled.”
Joyful, all ye nations, rise, Join the triumph of the skies;
With th’ angelic host proclaim, “Christ is born in Bethlehem.”
Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!”

Christ, by highest heav’n adored: Christ, the everlasting Lord;
Late in time behold Him come, Offspring of a virgin’s womb.
Veil’d in flesh, the Godhead see; Hail, th’incarnate Deity:
Pleased, as man, with men to dwell, Jesus, our Emmanuel!
Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!”

Hail! the heav’n-born Prince of Peace! Hail! the Son of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings, Risen with healing in His wings
Mild He lays His glory by, Born that man no more may die:
Born to raise the sons of earth, Born to give them second birth.
Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!”

Gloria in excelsis deo: Glory to God in the highest….

….and on Earth, peace, good will toward men.

Please be sure to remember and pray for those who allow the rest of us to enjoy a peaceful Christmas this year.
