"Thou Who Wast Rich Beyond All Splendor"

A few years ago I was introduced to the trio, Ordinary Time. On one of their Christmas albums, they sang the hymn, Thou Who Wast Rich Beyond All Splendor. Since that first hearing, I fell in love with the lyrics and tune. It is a quintessential Advent hymn.

Here are the three verses, in graphic form:

 

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, friends! Thanks for joining me on this year's Advent journey. I've really enjoyed finding new poems, and re-sharing my old favorites. 

Below is the Christmas card I made this year. I mentioned the hymn "Thou Who Was Rich" earlier in December.  It's had a great impact on me this Advent season, so I decided to share it as a card.

May Jesus light the way!
