Angels

Hebrews 1:1-14

O King of all the nations,
the only joy of every human heart,
O Keystone of the mighty arch of humankind,
Come and save the creature you fashioned from the dust.

Since I've already used People Look East, for today I'll select
Ye Gates, Lift Your Heads On High

In case some people have forgotten, "Winter wonderland", "Let it snow" and "I'm dreaming about a white Christmas" all suggest that something called snow sets the Christmas scene.

So, for the viewing pleasure of those languishing in southern climes, I present SNOW.

Beginning to look a lot like Christmas

You know its getting close when we go out to the woods to get the Christmas tree!

O Radiant Dawn, splendor of eternal light, sun of justice: come, shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death.
