Thought For The Month
"Tidings of glory!
All the sky aflame,
all Heaven hymning
one imperial Name!
Radiant glimpses of a Throne, a Crown, all splendor
focused on one little town!
Tidings of joy,
good tidings of great joy! Supernal ecstasy without alloy!
The death of sorrow and the end of pain,
the bliss, bliss, bliss
eternally to reign!
News of Salvation!
Jesus, Saviour, Christ,
bearer of mercy ample,
and unpriced herald of freedom from the chains of sin, come to our hearts,
Lord Jesus, enter in!
Tidings to all the people,
yea, to all!
To kings and shepherds,
to the great and small,
to rich and poor,
to ignorant and wise,
to each his blessing
from the liberal skies!
O for the ready eye
and quickened ear,
the Advent light to see,
and song to hear!
To every man and woman,
girl and boy,
in all the world,
Good Tidings of Great Joy."
