Come join the merry throng.
You'll find upon your lips a smile,
Within your heart a song. 
 (N.B. Lybarger)

  Christmas is more than trees and twinkling lights, more than toys and gifts and baubles of a hundred varieties. It is love. It is the love of the Son of God for all mankind. It is magnificent and beautiful." - Gordon B. Hinckley

 

 

 

  

O Holy Night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till he appeared
And the soul felt it's worth
The thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices
For yonder brinks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night divine
O night, o night divine

O Holy Night
The stars are brightly shining
                            It is the night of our dear Savior's birth                                
Long lay the world
In sin and error-pining
Till he appeared
And the soul felt it's worth
The thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices
For yonder brinks
A new and glorious morn
                                                    Fall on your knees                                                          
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night divine
O night, o night divine
