The Christmas season, a time of great joy, has somehow become very busy. With much anticipation, there is often accompanying anxiety. The best antidote for apprehension this season is to be in the Word of God. This site is dedicated to the peace that surpasses all understanding that comes from God. May He bless you as you read His story and enjoy the words of some of the sacred songs of the season.
The 12 Days of Christmas - Day 1

Isaiah 9:6
For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
What Child is This?
What Child is this, who laid to rest
On Mary’s lap is sleeping?
On Mary’s lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping.
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
Good Christian, fear:
For sinners here,
The silent Word is pleading;
Nails, spear, shall pierce Him through,
The Cross be borne, for me, for you:
Hail, hail the Word made flesh,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh,
Come peasant king to own HIm,
The King of Kings salvation brings,
Let loving hearts enthrone HIm.
Raise, raise the song on high,
The Virigin sings her lullaby;
Joy, joy, for Christ is born,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sings:
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
