Christmas has come again. That special time of year in which we celebrate the birth of Christ, his mission on Earth, and his death and resurrection. What a wondrous time of year it is. A time of rebirth for all who listen to His message and heed His call. A time when the Christian world remembers the birth of a baby; a special birth which led to the world being saved from all error and sin. His birth was first announced to the shepherds by an angel choir; and they rejoiced. The wise men were led by a new star; and they rejoiced. Today, we rejoice each Christmas, as we, too, announce the birth of our Savior.
Stars were gleaming, shepherds dreaming; And the night was dark and chill. Angels’ story rang with glory; Shepherds heard it on the hill. Ah, that singing! Hear it ringing, Earthward winging, Christmas bringing! Hearken! We can hear it still!
See the clearness and the nearness Of the blessed Christmas star, Leading, guiding; wise men riding Through the desert dark and far. Lovely showing, shining, growing, Onward going, gleaming, glowing, Leading still, our Christmas star!
