MERRY CHRISTMAS
As we celebrate the birth of our Savior so divine,
We rejoice in His love, His light, His sign.
On this holy night, a child was born,
A promise fulfilled, a new hope to adorn.
The angels declared with voices so clear,
“Peace on earth, goodwill to all here.”
In Bethlehem’s humble manger so sweet,
The King of kings lay at our heart.
The Savior has come to heal and to save,
To show us the way, the truth, and the brave.
His love for us, so boundless, so true,
In His grace, we are made new.
This Christmas, let us remember His birth,
The gift of salvation, the hope for the earth.
May His peace fill our hearts, His light lead our way,
As we honor Him on this blessed day.
Let us come together in worship and prayer,
With hearts full of gratitude and love to share.
For the Child of Bethlehem brings joy to all,
And answers the deepest, most sacred call.
May His presence dwell in our houses, communities and hearts,
As His eternal love never departs.
On this Christmas, we give thanks and praise,
To the Savior who guides us all of our days.
Merry Christmas, may His blessings abound,
And His holy love in your life be found.
With fraternal love and prayers!
Very Rev. Fr. Arockia Ceril OMD
