Glory Center Posting – January 2022

“It Came upon the Midnight Clear”

It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old, from angels bending near the earth, to touch their harps of gold;

Peace on the earth , good will to all, from heaven’s all gracious King.

The world in solemn stillness lay, to hear the angels sing.

For lo! The days are hastening on, by prophets seen of old,

When with the ever-circling years shall come the time foretold when peace shall over all the earth its ancient splendors fling,

and the whole world send back the song which now the angels sing

Followers of Christ have been commissioned to walk the path He did. To bind up the broken hearted. To preach good news to the poor. To proclaim liberty to the captives.

Christmas brings the incarnate God, the Prince of Peace, to humanity.

In His kingdom, mercy, justice and love reign. As citizens of His heavenly kingdom and members of this royal household, Christ’s followers serve as ambassadors of this kingdom.

Now the day after Christmas, our work is only just beginning. 

“Joy to the World”

Joy to the world the Lord has come!

Let earth receive her King; let every heart prepare him room, and heaven and nature sing, and heaven and nature sing, and heaven and heaven , and nature sing.

AMEN
