If you are like our family, you may still have a Christmas or two ahead, as we come to the weekend.
With that in mind, I thought it fitting to not move away from Christmas Day to quickly.
Here are the words to a Christmas carol - known, but maybe not as well-known as some:
INFANT HOLY, INFANT LOWLY
Infant holy, infant lowly,
for his bed a cattle stall;
oxen lowing, little knowing,
Christ the babe is Lord of all.
Swift are winging, angels singing,
noels ringing,
tidings bringing;
Christ the babe is Lord of all.
Flocks were sleeping,
shepherds keeping vigil till the morning new
saw the glory,
heard the story,
tidings of a gospel true.
Thus rejoicing,
free from sorrow,
praises voicing,
greet the morrow;
Christ the babe was born for you.
~ Edith M.G. Reed, 1925

Christmas Prayer
Eternal God,
by the birth of Jesus Christ you gave yourself to the world.
Grant that, being born in our hearts,
he may save us from all our sins,
and restore within us the image and likeness of our Creator,
to whom be everlasting praise and glory,
world without end.
Amen.
~ Taken from The United Methodist Hymnal
