While by My Sheep
(How Great Our Joy) |
|
“And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail,
thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among
women.
And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what
manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said
unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou
shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son,
and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of
the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him
the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for
ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.”
- Luke
1: 28-33 |
Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
The carol
featured in today's Newsletter
is not exactly one of my top favorites, but
hearing it always makes me happy. As it is known by four names, I was
astonished that I didn't find forty-eleven exciting versions in both languages
on YouTube. Of those I did find, I preferred these three:
BONUS #1 -
While by My Sheep or How
Great Our Joy - Uncredited;
BONUS #2 -
How Great Our Joy -
Sandi Patty & Peabo Bryson : Ambrosian Singers;
BONUS #3 -

"Overdoing it is especially common this time
of the year for many of us. The causes for this might include too many
Christmas activities to attend, too much to eat, too much money spent,
too many expectations, and too much tension. Often our efforts at
Christmastime result in our feeling stressed out, wrung out, and worn
out during a time we should feel the simple joys of commemorating the
birth of our Savior.
"Finding the real joy of Christmas comes not in the hurrying and the
scurrying to get more done, nor is it found in the purchasing of gifts.
We find real joy when we make the Savior the focus of the season."
-

Today...I do want to say something important about the "Road to
Christmas." As we wind our way down that beautiful road, I hope
we always keep in mind what it really represents. Today's
picture shows a few important fellows who were following the
first such road. The brightest star in the sky served as their
navigator, provided by God above. What is at the end of their
journey is what Christmas is truly about. What a wonderful gift
was born on that day. God bless you all.
Thank
you, Jimmy!

It snowed
today. I took these after work. It was pretty...
The phone did
all the work. It was kind of a selling point for the phone. It's night
images are amazing. I took both of these when it was almost completely
dark outside. The feature is called night sight. It basically takes a
really long exposed picture but very quickly.
OH, WOW! Thank
you, Nathaniel!

The Echo Carol (Als
ich bei meinen Schafen wacht)
German Lyrics by Nach Friedrich
von Spee, veröffentlicht, 1625
Music: Traditional German melody,
arranged by Hugo Jüngst
(1853-1923)
1. Als ich bei meinen Schafen
wacht
Ein Engel mir die Botschaft bracht.
Refrain:
Des bin ich froh, bin ich froh,
Froh, froh, froh, o, o, o!
|: Benedicamus Domino. :|
2. Er sagt', es soll geboren sein
Zu Bethlehem ein Kindelein
Refrain:
3. Er sagt, das Kind läg da im Stall
Und soll die Welt erlösen all.
Refrain:
4. Als ich das Kind im Stall gesehn
Nicht wohl konnt ich von dannen gehn.
Refrain:
5. Das Kind zu mir sein' Äuglein wandt,
Mein Herz gab ich in seine Hand.
Refrain:
6. Demütig küßt' ich seine Fuß',
Davon mein Mund ward zuckersüß.
Refrain:
7. Als ich heimging, das Kind wollt' mit
Und wollt' von mir abweichen nit.
Refrain:
8. Das Kind legt' sich an meine Brust
Und macht' mir da all' Herzenslust
Refrain:
9. Den Schatz muß ich bewahren wohl,
So bleibt mein Herz der Freuden voll.
Refrain:
Als ich bei meinen Schafen wacht',
Ein Engel mir die Botschaft bracht'.
Des bin ich froh ! Benedicamus Domino.
Er sprach: „Der Heiland Jesu Christ
Zu Bethlehem geboren ist !"
Des bin ich froh ! Benedicamus Domino.
„Das Kindlein liegt in einem Stall
Und will die Welt erlösen all !"
Des bin ich froh ! Benedicamus Domino.
Als ich zum Stalle trat hinein,
In Windeln lag das Kindelein.
Des bin ich froh ! Benedicamus Domino.
Das Kind zu mir die Äuglein wandt',
Mein Herz gab ich in seine Hand.
Des bin ich froh ! Benedicamus Domino.
|
While by my sheep I watched at
night,
Glad tidings brought an angel bright.
Refrain:
How great my joy! Great my joy!
Joy, joy, joy! Joy, joy, joy!
|: Praise we the Lord in heaven on high! :|
There shall be born, so he did say,
In Bethlehem a Child today.
Refrain:
There shall the Child lie in a stall,
This Child who shall redeem us all.
Refrain:
This gift of God I'll cherish well,
That ever joy our hearts shall fill.
Refrain: |
