Joy to the World


JOY TO THE WORLD! THE LORD IS COME!

“For unto you is born this day … a Savior!” Luke 2:11
On this Lord’s day after Christmas, I want to encourage you to REJOICE! The Lord has come! Now that the presents are all unwrapped, and you have time to catch your breath from all the preparations, you can take this day to wonder, ponder and glorify HIM for He has come!

Joy to the world! The Lord is come: Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room, and heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing.

Joy to the world! The Savior reigns: Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.

No more let sin and sorrow grow, nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow, far as the curse is found,
Far as the curse is found.

He rules the world with truth and grace, and makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness, and the wonders of His love,
And the wonders of His love.

Today take some time to wonder, ponder and glorify God! Joy to the world! The Lord has come! – Bill Welte is President and CEO of America’s Keswick


Dig This Quote: What self denial! What self abasement! What self emptying! He, whom no infinitudes can hold, is contained within infant’s age, and infant’s form. Can it be, that the great ‘I AM THAT I AM’ shrinks into our flesh? Henry Law
