Bells Across The Snow
O Christmas, merry Christmas
Has it really come again,
With it's memories and greetings,
With it's joy and with it's pain!
Minor chords are in the carol
And a shadow in the light,
And a spray of cypress twining
With the holly wreath tonight.
And the hush is never broken
By laughter light and low,
As we listen in the starlight
To the "bells across the snow."
O Christmas, merry Christmas,
It's not so very long
Since voices blended
With the carol and the song!
If we could hear them singing,
As they are singing now,
If we could but see radiance,
Of the crown on each dear brow,
There would be no cry to cover,
No hidden tear to flow,
As we listen in the starlight
To the "bells across the snow."
O Christmas, merry Christmas,
This nevermore can be;
We cannot bring again the days
Of our unshadowed glee,
But Christmas, happy Christmas
Sweet herald of goodwill,
With holy songs of glory
Brings holy gladness still.
For peace and hope may brighten,
And patient love may glow,
As we listen in the starlight,
To the "bells across the snow."

Merry Christmas everyone! We hope that you enjoy the blessings of family and friends this Christmas season, but most of all we hope that you know the love of the One who gave His life for you! You are the reason He came to earth, you are the apple of His eye, you are very precious to Jesus, and you are sweetly loved.
