Peace Love and Gods Greatest Gift

The mellifluous musical tones of the village bells Echoing chimes over the cold snowcapped mountains Both finding their way to people in the valley below Christmas songs—let your spirit sing freely and loudly Welcoming the Birth of Our Savior and Baby King Who so charms the Angels on High and God Himself On this night, The Star was so beautiful, clear, and shiny Crisp and so crystal-bright, centered above and beyond Reflecting now the Lord God’s most divine and holy light There is real magic in the night air as Heaven rejoices aloud The child and the infant’s divine soul breathe life now intently Fulfilling truly God’s very promise and His hope to Mankind Keep this Christmas spirit—share it with others near and far Grace filled with good tidings as we dance on wings of joy We all now celebrate in great happiness, love, and kindness Christmas is forever—and you must never ever close this door Faith always enters, carrying His guiding torch high and proud And encouraging Man every step of the way on his long journey Even in a simple cradle where the Baby Jesus so innocently lay Heaven doth bathe His cradle with the warmest rays of divine light Bespeaking the heavenly beauty, joy, and wonder of Our Savior Amazing peace makes a lovely gift, I wish for all of us to have As new life blossoms, wrapped in petals of an immaculate heart God’s holy blessing, love, and intention are clear for all to see That Holy Night the Angels entire sang mirthfully on Christmas Eve Praising Almighty Lord God in Heaven on the birth of His only son The Angels’ paeans echoed in their divine beauty across the Universe To bring peace now, glowing with your love, is His divine intention Rejoicing in God’s Greatest Gift to Mankind who was born in a manger Destined to become Our Most Holy and Divine Savior—Amen!
