Merry Christmas from Mount Hope Lutheran School!
Yea, Peace on earth incarnate lies, And in His little finger Is pow’r that makes the dead to rise And demons scared to linger And God’s own blood there flows within, One drop of which blots out all sin; Thus we have peace of conscience.
Like all great literature, A Christmas Carol upholds elements of truth about God and man. Because of this, Christian readers can see images of the story of salvation and the blessings of a Christian life.
Forth today the Conqueror goeth,
Who the foe, Sin and woe,
Death and hell, o’erthroweth.
God is man, man to deliver;
His dear Son Now is one
With our blood forever.
This hymn was widely used from the early Middle Ages to the time of the Reformation, especially the opening verses
This flow’r, whose fragrance tender
With sweetness fills the air,
Dispels with glorious splendor
The darkness ev’rywhere.
True man, yet very God,
From sin and death he saves us
And lightens ev’ry load.

Advent is a wakeful, watchful season as we look for Christ and cling to His promise, “Yes, I am coming quickly” (Rev. 22:20).
The Church has long found poetry to be the best means for speaking of and celebrating this great mystery of the two natures of Christ.
