My boys have been getting in the Christmas spirit this month by helping decorate the Christmas tree…
Chillin under the glow of the Christmas tree…
And enjoying some great Christmas tunes with their dad…
They’ve been enjoying Sufjan Stevens’ Songs For Christmas, Ben Thomas’ The Bewildering Light and Peace, Here EP.
And like their dad, (willful or not) no song has captured their imagination more this Christmas than Trans Siberian Orchestra’s The Prince Of Peace — especially the live version with Jeff Scott Soto.
So to share their excitement, they wish you a very merry Christmas and hope that you’ll help ring out the bells with tidings — that a babe is born in Bethlehem and His kingdom is at hand.
In the middle of a forest
There’s a clearing by a stream
Where a mother holds her newborn
And the child begins to dream
And he dreams of hopes unspoken
When the tears of man will cease
And his mother holds him closer
For he is the Prince of peace
And the moon is looking downward
Casting shadows through the trees
And the stars are shining brighter
As they whisper what they see
How the emperor and the pauper
With the lion and the lamb
Kneel down before the infant
For his peace they understand
Hark, the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn king
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled
Glory all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With the heavenly host proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem
Hark, the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn king
Let the bells ring out these tidings
Let it echo across the land
That a king is born in Bethlehem
And his kingdom is at hand
Let the world rejoice together
As it looks upon the stars
Knowing every man’s our brother
And that every child is ours
