Christmas Day

Happy Christmas to all who read this blog. In a few moments we shall be going to my  Home Church at Balestier Road to lead worship and preach the Christmas message. For me it is Balek Kampong - returning to my old Home. What a joy to be invited to share worship there.

Here is a Celtic Prayer - Christmas

"The Child of Glory,
The Child of Mary,
Born in a stable
The King of all.
Who came to the wilderness
And in our stead suffered;
Happy they are counted
Who to Him are near."

Jesus, the very thought of Thee
With sweetness fills my breast;
But better far Thy face to see,
And in Thy presence rest.

Jesus, only our joy be Thou,
As Thou our prize wilt be;
Jesus, be Thou our glory now,
And through eternity.  Bernard of Clairvaux - translated by Edward Caswell.
