“Hail the heav’n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Sun of Righteousness!

Ris’n with healing in his wings;
Mild he lays his glory by,
Born that man no more may die,
Born to raise the sons of earth,
Born to give them second birth.”

What are you excited for this weekend?
I own and enjoy Apple products, but it makes me irrationally angry that they now own exclusive rights to all the Charlie Brown holiday specials 😡
I like a lot of Keith and Kristyn Getty’s modern hymn stuff. But…all their songs are starting to sound the same to me. Anyone else feel this way?
