O Come let us adore Him

When blossoms flowered mid the snows
upon a winter night
was born the Child, the Christmas Rose
The King of Love and Light

The angels sang, the shepard sang
the grateful earth rejoiced
the grateful earth rejoiced

And at His blessed birth the stars
Their exultation voiced
Their exultation voiced

O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord

Again the heart with rapture glows
to greet the holy night
that gave the world its Christmas Rose,
Its King of Love and Light

Let every voice claim His Name
the grateful chorus swell
the grateful chorus swell

From paradise to earth He came
that we with Him might dwell
that we with Him might dwell

O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord

Aa...aah! O come, let us adore Him
Aa...aah! adore Him, Christ the Lort
O come, O come
O come let us adore Him, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord

Merry Christmas everyone
May Jesus Christ love dwell in our hearts

God Speed,
Ior-Yuli

Christmas

It's Christmas again....

Merry Christmas everyone!!!!

May the peace of Jesus Christ be within our hearts and souls.

This is my first Christmas away from home.......definitely different, didn't have the classic Christmas Eve dinner i used to have after church. No macaroni schotel, no cream soup, no bistik, no salad.....Well, those things are available here, but of course not my grandma's,mom's and auntie's cooking. We gotta go through what we gotta go through right?

I worked half day on the 24th, had long overdue appointment lunch with Eva near office. Then we went to Orchard to check out the SALE hehehe...

Kriwil and I went to Orchard Presbyterian Church or GPO (Gereja Prebysterian Orchard) at Orchard Road, for Christmas Eve 6PM service. At least we were among people from Indonesia. And praying and wishing warmest thoughts of Christmas for family and friends back home.

On Christmas Day, we returned to GPO for Christmas Day, Church provided meals after service and we met friends who also celebrate Christmas away from family this year.

Someday I'll be home for Christmas again.....

Happy Holidays
