Oh! lovely voices of the sky Which hymned the Saviour’s birth, Are ye not singing still on high, Ye that sang, “Peace on earth”? ~Felicia Hemans Mankind is a great, and immense family. This is proved by what we feel in our hearts at Christmas. ~Pope John XXIII Only in souls the Christ is brought to birth, And there He lives and dies. ~Alfred Noyes
It is the Christmas time: And up and down ‘twixt heaven and earth, In glorious grief and solemn mirth, The shining angels climb. ~Dinah Maria Mulock At Christmas-tide the open hand, Scatters its bounty o’er sea and land, And none are left to grieve alone, For Love is heaven and claims its own. ~Margaret Elizabeth Sangster O Christmas Sun! What holy task is thine! To fold a world in the embrace of God! ~Guy Wetmore Carryl The Church does not superstitiously observe days, merely as days, but as memorials of important facts. Christmas might be kept as well upon one day of the year as another; but there should be a stated day for commemorating the birth of our Saviour, because there is danger that what may be done on any day, will be neglected. ~Samuel Johnson It is good to be children sometimes, and never better than at Christmas when its mighty Founder was a child Himself. ~Charles Dickens Hark the herald angels sing, “Glory to the new-born king.” Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled! ~Charles Wesley Christmas is the most human and kindly of seasons, as fully penetrated and irradiated with the feeling of human brotherhood, which is the essential spirit of Christianity, as the month of June with sunshine and the balmy breath of roses. ~George William Curtis Best of all, Christmas means a spirit of love, a time when the love of God and love of our fellow men should prevail over all hatred and bitterness, a time when our thoughts and deeds and the spirit of our lives manifest the presence of God. ~George F. McDougall You can never truly enjoy Christmas until you can look up into the Father’s face and tell him you have received his Christmas gift. ~John R. Rice The universal joy of Christmas is certainly wonderful. We ring the bells when princes are born, or toll a mournful dirge when great men pass away. Nations have their red-letter days, their carnivals and festivals, but once in the year and only once, the whole world stands still to celebrate the advent of a life. ~Author Unknown

Christmas in Bethlehem. The ancient dream: a cold, clear night made brilliant by a glorious star, the smell of incense, shepherds and wise men falling to their knees in adoration of the sweet baby, the incarnation of perfect love. ~Lucinda Franks Love came down at Christ Love all lovely, love divine; Love was born at Christmas, Stars and angels gave the sign. ~Christina Rossetti Let us remember that the Christmas heart is a giving heart, a wide open heart that thinks of others first. The birth of the baby Jesus stands as the most significant event in all history, because it has meant the pouring into a sick world of the healing medicine of love which has transformed all manner of hearts for almost two thousand years… Underneath all the bulging bundles is this beating Christmas heart. ~George Mathew Adams Fail not to call to mind, in the course of the twenty-fifth of this month, that the Divinest Heart that ever walked the earth was born on that day; and then smile and enjoy yourselves for the rest of it; for mirth is also of Heaven’s making. ~Leigh Hunt Whatever else be lost among the years, Let us keep Christmas still a shining thing; Whatever doubts assail us, or what fears, Let us hold close one day, remembering its poignant meaning for the hearts of men. Let us get back our childlike faith again. ~Grace Noll Crowell The greatest and most momentous fact which the history of the world records is the fact of Christ’s birth. ~Charles H. Spurgeon Christmas is based on an exchange of gifts, the gift of God to man – His unspeakable gift of His Son, and the gift of man to God – when we present our bodies a living sacrifice. ~Vance Havner Except the Christ be born again tonight In dreams of all men, saints and sons of shame, The world will never see his kingdom bright. ~Vachel Lindsay Christmas is a time to open our hearts to God and his gifts. Just like the rest of the year. ~Author Unknown |
