LIGHTS FROM THE CELESTIAL CITY OFGOD



LIGHTS FROM THE CELESTIAL CITY OF GOD
Prayer for Today: God is our strength, our hope, our refuge, and the light that provides sight upon our gloomy paths. On this day may you find peace, encouragement, and comfort in the presence of God's gracious loving kindness and be embraced by the rays of his love that radiates like the Eternal Light from the Lamp of Celestial City of God.  Amen

Here are the words and music to the great hymn, Like Sliver Lamps in a Distant Shrine
This hymn captures the essence of this Reflection
by
William C. Dix (Words) 1867
&
Charles H. Steggall (Music) 1867

Like Sliver Lamps in a Distant Shrine

Like silver lamps in a distant shrine,
The stars are sparkling bright;
The bells of the city of God ring out,
For the Son of Mary is born tonight.
The gloom is past, and the morn at last
Is coming with orient light.


No earthly songs are half so sweet
As those which are filling the skies,
And never a palace shone half so fair
As the manger-bed where our Savior lies;
No night in the year is half so dear
As this which has ended our sighs


The stars of heaven still shine as at first
They gleamed on this wonderful night,
The bells of the city of God peal out,
And the angels’ song still rings in the height,
And loves still turns where the Godhead burns,
Hid in flesh from fleshly sight.


Faith sees no longer the stable floor,
The pavement of sapphire is there,
The clear light of Heaven streams out to the world,
And the angels of God are crowding the air,
And Heaven and earth, thro’ the spotless birth,
Are at peace on this night so fair.

El Greco's "The Disrobing of Christ" (1577-1579) Oil on Canvas
