Glory to God in the highest
And on earth peace good will toward men
Born unto a virgin was God’s only begotten Son
Emmanuel (God with us) is the title of The One
Mary’s father was of Judah, the linage of a king
Mary’s mother was a Levite, from Aaron’s priestly string
The world beheld a brilliant star a shining in the east
The sign of Christ, The King of Kings, Lord of Lords, and High Priest
Glory to God in the highest
And on earth peace good will toward men
Shepherds in the field keeping watch over their flock at night
The angel of the Lord appeared and gave them such a fright
Fear not: for behold, good tidings of joy I bring
For unto you is born this day, a Saviour, Christ the King
The Babe is wrapped in swaddling clothes, a lying in the hay
Heavenly host gave praise to God on the greatest birthday
Glory to God in the highest
And on earth peace good will toward men
Merry Christmas from all of us at Pahl’s Market!
What a beautiful public tribute to the Christian Feast we are about to celebrate! Thank you so much and please continue to put forth such beauty that enriches our culture regardless of religious (or non-religious) persuasions. Here in the North public witness to Christian faith is becoming a rarity. Not so in the South. We regularly visit the state of Arkansas where on the first Saturday of December the annual tree-lighting ceremony takes place on the Courthouse square. On one side of the steps is a full-size Nativity set; on the other side of the steps is a large Star of David and lighted menorah. Everyone is happy here where faith, patriotism and common sense all happily meld.
