A Favorite Christmas Carol
Growing up, I would sing all the usual Christmas carols. I must have sung them hundreds of times, but never took the time to grasp the message. One of my favorites is “O Little Town of Bethlehem”. The lyrics are powerful. In the little town of Bethlehem, a glorious thing happened of which most of the world was unaware.
O little town of Bethlehem,
how still we see thee lie;
above thy deep and dreamless sleep
the silent stars go by.
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
the everlasting light;
the hopes and fears of all the years
are met in thee tonight.
Merry Christmas to all!
