How bright appears the morning star,
With mercy beaming from afar;
The host of Heav’n rejoices!
O righteous Branch! O Jesse’s Rod!
Thou Son of Man, and Son of God!
We too will lift our voices:
Jesus! Jesus! Holy, holy, yet most lowly,
Draw Thou near us;
Great Emmanuel, come and hear us!
Rejoice, ye heav’ns, thou earth, reply;
With praise, ye sinners, fill the sky,
For this His incarnation!
Incarnate God, put forth Thy power,
Ride on, ride on, great Conqueror,
Till all know Thy salvation.
Amen, amen! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Praise be given
Evermore by earth and Heaven.
Philip Nicolai, 1599

Good memories, thanks for the post!
It would be wonderful to catch an update of the family lately - we miss you guys!
We miss you too -- seems like you've been gone for ages already! Yes, those are good memories. And, yes, time for an update! :)
