…the Lord Himself will give you a sign;

the virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. 

~ Isaiah 7:14
Come, Thou long expected Jesus,
Born to set Thy people free!
From our fears and sins release us,
Let us find our rest in Thee!
Israel’s strength and consolation,
Hope of all the earth Thou art!
Dear desire of every nation, 
Joy of every longing heart!
Born Thy people to deliver,
Born a child and yet a king!
Born to reign in us forever,
Now Thy gracious kingdom bring!
By Thine own eternal Spirit 
Rule in all our hearts alone, 
by Thine all sufficient merit
Raise us to Thy glorious throne!
  ~ Charles Wesley, 1744

Hallelujah! Blessed and joyous Christmas to you, beloved sister!

With love, your sister, Celeste
