O Holy Night
O holy night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of our dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
'Til He appear'd and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees! O, hear the angels' voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born;
O night divine, O night, O night Divine.
Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,
Here come the wise men from Orient land.
The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger;
In all our trials born to be our friend.
He knows our need, to our weakness is no stranger,
Behold your King! Before Him lowly bend!
Behold your King, Behold your King.
Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother;
And in His name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name.
Christ is the Lord! O praise His Name forever,
His power and glory evermore proclaim.
His power and glory evermore proclaim.

Iggy :-) thankyou so much for all you have been for me this year. Your friendship has sustained me through many a sleepless night. Our long conversations have expanded mind and beliefs and each one is better than the last. Thankyou for sharing your innnermost thoughts with me, I know some of them weren't easy and others had me laughing with you and smiling throughout my days. When I see your name appear I know that whatever conversation we have I will be smiling throughout. I do apologise for those many nights of drifting off to sleep in mid conversation and thank you for understanding. The time difference we share is so great at times I have no control over what the eyes want to do.
Love and friendship always. Have a truly wonderful Christmas.
Merry Christmas, Iggy. *hugs*
beautiful song...
glad to have met you this year..here's to many more.
It is because of you that I entered the blog world, Iggy, and I thank you for that. It has been a wild ride reading the thoughts, trials, successes, and just plain silliness of others. I always know when I sign in that I am probably going to both laugh and cry at some point in time while reading the blogs. You are one hell of a person! Your mind, sensitivity, imagination, and kindness astound me. I am so very proud to count you among my friends. (((((((((Karl)))))))
I hope you had a beautiful Christmas!!!
Merry Christmas, Iggy... Hope you had a wonderful time - however you celebrated!
I hope you and your loved ones had a wonderful and OCHA filled Christmas!
Happy Belated Christmas to you and yours, Iggy!

Namaste',

Ahh..one of my favorite songs for this time of year. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Seems everyone else has beat me to the sentimental stuff....
Thank you. *HUGZ*
Love the photo. I used that pic as my wallpaper on my PC last year. It is such a beautiful tree.
Thank you for all you are and being true to yourself. In this 'cyber' world, people are not always who they claim to be and you my friend are a true treasure.
I hope you had a very happy holiday!
