The Cedars, Lebanon

Silent Holy Night In a manger in Bethlehem Were three strangers, looking for a bed There was a star above Bright and holy Guiding the three wise men On camels they rode slowly In a stable behind the Inn There was that miracle that absolves all our sin There was a star above Bright and Holy Mother Mary giving birth in her full glory There he was baby Jesus, in rags but soon to tell his story In a holy place long ago There were traitors who could not let go There was the cold desert night The stars leading the righteous bright Glory be, the new born son of he Leading the world to peace and humanity In the darkest of hearts that there may be He brings hope to the silent ones The holy night of eternity Note: Last of the trilogy for Christmas

And so the trilogy comes to an end, in a most fitting manner, Arthur. May love be the eventual victor; from there peace and hope will sprout. ~ Regards // paul
