The wonderous gift

How silently, how silently, the wondrous gift is given
    So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of his heaven
    No ear may hear his coming, but in this world of sin
    Where meek souls will receive him still, the dear Christ enters in.

Happy New Year!

‘May the Lord bless you
      and protect you.

May the Lord smile on you
      and be gracious to you.

May the Lord show you his favor
      and give you his peace.’ 

~Numbers 6:24-26 NLT
