echoing their joyous strengths December 24th 2025 what child is this now laid to rest within a rustic stall

we hail the son of righteousness a gift of god forever blessed to gain his everlasting hall. This little town of Bethlehem,

obscured in darkness, lies, but angel hosts did not condemn. They praised the royal diadem,

and joined the triumph of the skies. O come, O come, Emmanuel, let justice, mercy, kiss,

deliver us from death and hell and ransom captive Israel, for Jesus Christ was born for

this. While shepherds watched their flocks by night, the virgin toiled and gave, the one desire

of nations bright to bring us from eternal light, a savior who could fully save. So savior of the

nations come, let earth-receiver king, and let us total up the sum of mercies in that kingdom come, and echo why

the angels sing. These angels fill the skies with praise and mountains in reply, and promise that through

endless days we all will sing what glory weighs, and offer it to God most high. Now see him in a manger

laid, that pure one undefiled. He came to give what could not fade. He

came to see the ransom paid, with God and sinners reconciled. So veiled in flesh the Godhead

sea, let heaven and nature sing. A wooden box, a golden key, will bring us to the Crystal

Sea, where God's cathedral bells all ring. It came upon a midnight clear, proclaim that holy birth, to banish guilt and shame and fear, the Christ of God has now appeared, and brings goodwill and peace to earth. And so from realms of endless day, from tender stem hath sprung, a bud to bloom in our cold gray, what Satan and his Herod say, we answer with our myriad tongues. Sing praises to our heavenly

Lord, the son of love's pure light, in manger and on throne adored, before him all our anthem soared,

and their expressed redeemed delight. So God imparts to human hearts the gift of life again. We sing in

true harmonious parts and mimic high angelic arts. God rest

you merry, gentlemen. Merry Christmas to you all. If you are enjoying these videos and would
