Merry Christmas!

Peace came to earth at last that chosen night, 
When angels clove the sky with song and light 
And God embodied love and sheathed his might-
Who could but gasp; Immanuel!
Who could but sing; Immanuel!

And who could be the same for having held
The infant in their arms and later felt
The wounded hands and side, all doubts dispelled-
Who could be sigh; Immanuel!
Who could but shout; Immanuel!

You show the Father none has ever seen,
In flesh and blood you bore our grief and pain,
In bread and wine you visit us again-
Who could but see; Immanuel!
Who could but thrill; Immanuel!

How else could I have known you, O my God!
How else could I have loved you, O my God!
How else could I embrace you, O my God!
Who could but pray; Immanuel!
Who could but praise; Immanuel!

CW Supplement: Hymn 707


We pray you have a wonderful Christmas, as you celebrate your Savior's birth!

December

Well, December, as usual, has been busy already. Throw in a unexpected trip to Michigan for Dan's Grandma's funeral, there's been little down time. But, I'm keeping my heart and mind focused on Christ and his coming... at least trying to among the craziness. Dan and I got iphones a couple weeks ago, so I thought I'd share a few pics from my instagram account. I sure like my iphone. :) Enjoy a few snippets of the last couple of weeks.
