Sunday morning in "my" little Baptist church in Bullard Ave, Clovis, California, the children on the platform were singing "Happy birth to you….happy birth, Lord Jesus", - o, how it thrilled my heart. I´ve never heard that birthday song sung that way and so warmly.
One of our highly esteemed hymn writers was Adolph Brorson (1694-1764) who wrote Hans Hans Adolph Brorson (1694-1764) wrote wonderful Christmas hymns. He once showed a rough draft to one German pastor friend who also spoke Danish. (I sometimes wish I had that privilege!) After having read it, he exclaimed, "I never knew the Danish language could be so beautiful!" Let your spoken language be seasoned with not only Christmas stuff, but with Christ as the sweetest topic on your lips. And your language will be as beautiful as ever! -jn- Dec. 20, 2010
