Part 6
Star Of Wonder
O Star of Wonder, Star of Light,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to Thy perfect light.
The Reverend John Henry Hopkins
Isn’t it astonishing how much of the Ancient Wisdom of God’s sacred truth many of our traditional Christmas carols contain? In none of them can this be seen in a purer form than in the refrain of ‘We Three Kings Of Orient Are’.
For some time the Age of Aquarius has been with us. It is the age of truth when God’s sacred wisdom and truth will be flowing every more powerfully from the heartmind of the Highest Forces of life directly into increasing numbers of human hearts and souls and those of our world. The Piscean Age has been the age of deceptions, lying and cheating, the bigger the better. During that age humankind for wise higher reasons, which we shall go into as we move along, was presented with spiritual knowledge that had to be believed blindly and at face value, without any explanations whatever for anything. The keepers of the sacred texts were allowed to tell people: ‘That’s the way it is! You better believe what we say or we shall kill you!’
Having reached the age of truth, it is everybody’s birthright to find out why things are they way they are, and why things happened in the past and are doing so to this day. If the chapters of my writings may at times seem to be a bit on the long side to you, it is because we are looking closely into the spiritual background of our earthly existence and attempt to unravel more and more of its mysteries, and that’s something that simply cannot be told in a few words like a business report.
When A Child Is Born
A ray of hope flickers through the sky,
A tiny star lights up, way up high.
All across the land dawns a brand new morn’.
This comes to pass, when a child is born.
A silent wish sails the seven seas.
The winds of change whisper in the trees,
And the walls of doubt crumble fast and torn.
This comes to pass, when a child is born.
A rosy hue settles all around.
You’ve got the feel you’re on solid ground.
For a spell or two no-one seems forlorn.
This comes to pass, when a child is born.
And all this happens, because the world is waiting,
Waiting for one child. Black, white, yellow?
No-one knows.
But a child that’ll grow up and change tears to laughter,
Hate to love, war to peace and everyone to everyone’s neighbour
And misery and suffering will be words
That will be forgotten forever.
It’s all a dream and illusion now,
It must come true, sometime soon somehow.
All across the land dawns a brand-new morn’.
This comes to pass, when a child is born.
F. Jay
To my mind the above song is a celebration for every soul who re-enters life on the Earth plane to partake in yet another lifetime of learning and growing opportunities through its own experiences that are on offer in this world alone. I suggest changing the following from: ‘This comes to pass, when a child is born,’ to: ‘This comes to pass, each time a child is born who, with the help of its parents’ good example, is encouraged to bring forth its own Christ qualities and so do its share of bringing peace to our world, the way every human being at the end of its earthly education does.’
The Divine spark of the Universal Christ Spirit’s light is present in every human heart, though initially merely in seed form. I believe that the child our world has so long been waiting for is the awakening of the spark from its slumbering state. That’s when the Christ qualities of love, kindness to and friendship with all lifeforms that share our beautiful planet with us, begin to stir within us. The long promised and yearned for second coming of the Christ is a metaphor for this development, which for quite some time has been taking place in ever more individual souls and the collective soul of our whole world.
The influence of the Christ energies is at their most powerful in the approach to Christmas and some time after it. And the newly born in the manger represents the process of the Divine characteristics of love and respect, tolerance and compassion for all life coming alive of every human heart and soul at the end of its long evolutionary odyssey of earthly life. The realisation of this provides us with a whole new understanding of the purpose and meaning of humankind’s existence in physicality. And that eventually enables even the least devout ones in our midst to humbly and happily kneel in love and devotion before the Holy child and its Divine parents. That is what Christmas means to me in our time.

Christmas Prayer 2018
O Great Spirit, Father/Mother of all life,
Please give us eyes this Christmas
To see the Christmas Star.
And give us ears to hear the song
Of the Angels from afar.
With eyes and ears attuned
To Your wisdom and truth from above,
May the Christmas Angels’ message speak to us
Of the renewal of hope, faith and love.
With the gift of these things light our world,
When our way seems too frightening and dark,
So that even in stormy times our hearts and souls
Know how to sing with the sweetness of a lark.
Help us to trust in Your presence unseen,
So that we know beyond all seeing
That in your infinite Your Father/Motherly love
We shall eternally be safe and have our being.
May Your love fill our hearts to overflowing
To help us remove the barriers
Of colour, race and creed,
And reach out to anyone in need.
Amen

Happy New Year In Our Time
It’s happy New Year in our time:
Whenever someone accepts being responsible for
All their thoughts, words and actions
And makes an effort to control and be in charge of them;
Each time one of us tunes the receiver/transmitter station
Of their earthly mind into the frequencies of
God and the Angels on the Highest levels of life,
These manifestations are signs that another
One of us is increasing our world’s spiritual wealth
Through the realisation that the story of Jesus
Is but a myth and a legend that no longer
Needs to be understood literally.
The God-man was but an icon
Who could never save and redeem anyone,
Least of all the whole of humankind
And our world.
Every human being is a spark of the
Universal Christ’s light and therefore
Truly It’s child.
The awareness of this reveals itself
Through a person’s natural
Love for honesty and truth, and their
Dislike for lying and cheating,
Taking advantage of others.
The more people reach out for each other
In the spirit of friendship and love,
Preferring to help and support those around them
To exploiting and abusing, lying and cheating,
The more humankind’s collective spirit/soul
Heaves a big sigh of relief and
On the highest levels of life,
The Angels and Masters of the Christ Circle,
The throne of God, rejoice that humankind realises at last
That the long promised ‘second coming’ is in truth the first one
And that, therefore, the first true Christ-Mass is taking place
On the earthly plane of life and people discover
The true meaning of Christmas.
For long enough the Jesus story has protected humankind
Against discovering everybody’s own
Higher God or Christ nature.
The pandemic has been an essential part of
The Divine evolutionary plan for our world
And all individuals within it, because
Events of this nature, better than anything else,
In human beings either bring out
The best or worst qualities and that reliably tells
The wise ones in charge of us and our world
In whom the Christ child has been born and is thriving
And where it is still slumbering.
A happy and spiritually healthy New Year 2023
I wish for each one of you, my dear Friends,
in spite of what’s happening in our world.
You are my worldwide spiritual family.
Never forget that together we are strong and that,
hand in hand with the Angels and Masters of the Christ Circle,
We are invincible and will forever be safe.
With love and light,
Aquarius
Happy Christmas, War Is Over
So this is Christmas
And what have you done?
Another year over
And a new one just begun.
And so this is Christmas,
I hope you have fun.
The near and the dear one,
The old and the young.
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year.
Let’s hope it’s a good one
Without any fear.
And so this is Christmas
For weak and for strong,
For rich and the poor ones,
The world is so wrong.
And so happy Christmas
For black and for white,
For yellow and red ones.
Let’s stop all the fight.
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year.
Let’s hope it’s a good one
Without any fear.
And so this is Christmas
And what have we done?
Another year over
And a new one just begun.
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun.
The near and the dear one,
The old and the young.
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year.
Let’s hope it’s a good one
Without any fear,
That all wars will soon be over
And our world be at peace.

Christmas Message
O Holy Night,
The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of our dear Saviour’s birth.
Long lay the world in sin and darkness pining
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees, O hear the angels voices.
O night Divine, O night when Christ was born
O night divine, O night, O night divine.

Christmas Message
The Coming Of The Lamb Of God
O Holy Night
O Holy Night,
The stars are brightly shining,
It is the time of our true Saviour’s birth.
Long lay our world in sin and darkness pining,
Ignorant of humankind’s true nature
And its high and holy destiny,
Each one of us once took part in the sinning
That was necessary for getting to know
Our own and other people’s lower and lowest aspects.
But now God’s sacred wisdom and truth
Is flowing ever more powerfully directly from
The heartmind of the Highest into our world’s
Individual and collective consciousness and
Ever more of us are beginning to feel their worth.
A thrill of hope is vibrating through our weary world,
Enjoying the Aquarian Age’s new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees, O hear the Angel voices.
O time Divine, O time when Christ is born
O time divine, O time, O time Divine.
Led by the light of renewed faith and trust
That beams serenely from the loving hearts of those
Who understand the long hidden meaning
Of the Holy infant in the manger
As a symbolism for the Divine spark
Stirring from its slumber.
Led by the light of the Highest Star
Our spirit friends and helpers are revealing to
Us and our world ever more about the mysteries of this tiny light.
It is planted deep in every human being’s
Soul at the moment of its creation, who brings it with it
Into each new earthly lifetime.
For aeons the spark does nothing but wait to stir into life,
So it can grow from spiritual infancy into adulthood,
When at last it learns about the living God within
And learns to listen to this,
The wisest teacher and guru of all.
In every test and trial we shall ever have to face,
In this world and all others,
This Divine friend and helper will forever accompany us.
Wise indeed and loving too,
S/He knows the way of all things
And every one of our needs
Before we ourselves become aware of them.
This is the Christ part of everyone’s own nature,
Who knows our weaknesses and shows us ways
Of transforming them into strengths.
S/He is the Highest before whom
The whole of Creation lovingly bends its knees
Its law is love and its only gospel is making peace.
Through the knowledge that everybody
Is our sibling in the great family of life,
We learn how to truly love one another.
The dissolving of the chains and shackles of
False beliefs and prejudices sets us free
And we never again feel the need
To exploit, oppress and take advantage of others.
Each time another heart opens and its Divine spark
Begins to receive and respond to the Christ light’s energies,
For another soul the night of darkness is over and
The Angels on the higher levels of life rejoice and sing:
O Light Divine, O Light, O Light Divine.
And that can happen at any time of every year.
No need to wait for Christmas on the calendar,
Which with the passing of time wiped out
The age-old celebrations of the light’s return to us
At the time of the December solstice,
The way it has always done since our world was created.

Christmas/New Year Message From God And The Angels
To The Whole Of Humankind In The Pandemic Years 2021/2
Beloved children of the Earth. Earthly life is but a place of learning, a school where everybody stays for a while and takes part in its lessons, because that is compulsory. In spite of that, nobody ever forces you to take part in anything, but without finishing the earthly curriculum, your energies will never allow you to start exploring the higher and eventually highest levels of life. At the end of each lifetime in physicality, you return to My realm, the spirit world. That is humankind’s true home from which every one of you emerges at the beginning of a new lifetime and returns to when it has run its course. Your physical body is a vehicle for getting around on the earthly plane for one lifetime only. When it has served this purpose, one of My Angels of Death takes your spirit/soul by the hand and returns them to the spirit world, to rest and recover from the stresses and strains of your earthly existence.
As soon as you feel strong enough, your desire for moving forwards and upwards on your personal evolutionary spiral begins to stir again. You realise that there is nothing for it but applying for another earthly lifetime and continue your quest for consciousness expanding adventures through which you will keep on growing in wisdom and understanding of My true nature, your own and the world around you. And that’s the reason why all of you are taking part in earthly life at present. Besides, everybody’s own development assists that of Mother Earth.
This is why, time and again, you apply for another earthly sojourn – in spite of the difficulties of that existence. You go for them because at that stage you know that wise ones are in charge of you in the spiritual background of your earthly existence, to whom you can turn for help and advice. And so, together with these wise ones, you decide where and with whom you are going to spend your next lifetime. You are not afraid of making mistakes, because you know that without them you would never learn anything.
Every one of you is a precious and unique being, a many faceted jewel, who is loved beyond compare by Me, your true parents, the great Father/Mother of all life and our only born Son/Daughter, the Universal Christ, who is the Sun of all suns and the Light of all lights. Each one of you is a spark of this light. Nothing in your world is ever a coincidence, happens perchance or is an , but comes about for a wise higher purpose. Naturally, this also applies to the pandemic 2019/2020. It is an essential part of teaching you and your world the value of honesty and truth, the most essential qualities of everybody’s higher God or Christ nature.
All who are presently taking part in earthly life have been granted the gift of their present lifetime so they can take part in sending kind, loving and forgiving thoughts to your world’s troublemakers and scaremongers. Do not make the mistake of thinking of them as your enemies. They are merely your younger and less experienced siblings in the great family of humankind, who have no idea what they are doing to themselves and what, in the fullness of time, is bound to return to them – unless you, their older and more experienced siblings, are willing to help them.
Refuse to hate these people because thoughts, words and actions of hatred feed into the dark stream and increase its strength of bringing ever more darkness and evil into your world. Love and thought are the two most powerful forces in the whole of Creation. Together they are they key for unlocking all inner doors and the only thing that can save and redeem anyone. My great evolutionary plan for the whole of Creation, as well as your world and every individual being within it, decrees that all human beings – in the course of many earthly lifetimes – should slowly but surely evolve into saviours and redeemers of themselves, the whole of humankind and your world.
Each one of you was created in My image, is a precious and unique being who is loved totally and unconditionally. This also applies to the executors of My plans, the Angels and Masters around My throne, the Christ circle. Nobody sits in judgment over anyone here because we know that every human being is a young God in the making, who is serving the first part of their apprenticeship on the earthly plane of life. When you have reached the end of your compulsory earthly education, you will have evolved into a Christed one, each in their own right, you understand that nobody on the earthly plane is your enemy. The impression you get there is a false one. It comes about because all of you are simultaneously playing the part of student and teacher in that school.
Every one of you is gifted in some special and unique way. And yet, all of you have one talent in common and that is evolving into healers and lightbringers, saviours and redeemers of yourselves, each other and your whole world. My Universal law of cause and effect or Karma ensures that whatever you put into life in due course returns to you. And that’s why any kind of bread you cast upon the waters of life in due course comes back to you. Therefore, if you help others, it appears for you in some mysterious way whenever you are in need of assistance yourself.
There are two streams of consciousness in your world, the same as throughout the whole of Creation: the Christ stream of light and it’s counterpart, the dark stream. The energies of both streams are neutral and merely complement each other. Know that everything that happens in your world in thoughts, words and deeds, feeds into one of these streams. Kind, loving and forgiving thoughts feed into the Christ light’s stream. They increase its strength and you can direct it to wherever you want it to go. When, guided and protected by the Angels and Me, enough of you keep sending such thoughts to your world’s troublemakers and scaremongers, their Divine spark absorbs ever more of the light you are sending. This assists the spark’s development and when enough of you are sending this light, the offenders’ Christ nature begins to stir from its slumber and another Christ child is born on the earthly plane. And this time it’s not a myth or a legend like the Jesus story, but a real alive one. Hallelujah!
None of you is ever alone in earthly life. Behind its surface, on the inner spiritual plane, many groups of spirit friends and helpers are constantly observing what’s happening in your world and ready for anyone’s call for assistance. They are not allowed to interfere with you and your lives. That’s because every one of you has been granted the gift of making their own decisions of how to handle things and react to what comes your way. If you want our help, you have to ask for it. Otherwise it cannot come to anyone, even though you are as much part of us as we are of you because on the inner level of life there is no separation between anything and all is one. Your spirit friends are familiar with your difficulties because they too have spent many lifetimes on the earthly plane.
The essence of every human being is spirit/soul and, like Me, they are immortal and can never die. Created in My image, every one of you is a many faceted jewel who has been endowed with gifts and talents, which many of you have not yet discovered. Do not be afraid of looking for them. If you do not know how to go about anything, we are always waiting for your call so we can show you the way. In the whole of Creation there are no problems that, hand in hand with the Angels and Me, cannot be solved and no hurdles and obstacles that are impossible to overcome.
The question of guilt does not arise in our world. A thin veil of consciousness separates your world from ours. All on this side are aware that every human being is taking part in the compulsory lessons of earthly life and walking their predestined pathway, in keeping with my evolutionary plan for the whole of humankind and every individual within it. The development of every one begins with getting to know the lowest, meanest and darkest characteristics of your earthly personality. In the course of many lifetimes, every one of you steadily progresses forwards and upwards on their personal evolutionary spiral. The end of your earthly education has been reached, as soon as you have brought forth, from deep within your own being, the highest, best and noblest qualities of your God or Christ nature.
Know that it’s never too late for new beginnings and rest assured that whatever you and your world truly need, in the fullness of time will be given unto you. There’s a place for every one of you on the earthly plane as well as in My realm. If you are reading this, your time for going there has not yet come, because your world needs you right where you presently are. And no matter how dire any situation may appear to be on the surface of things, we are happy to show you intuitively how to proceed. So please do not hesitate to ask. Your friends and helpers in My world have been waiting for your call for a long, long time. Don’t disappoint them! Our love will always be with every one of you, especially those who do not yet know about our presence.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2022, in spite of your world’s present state and yes, also because of it. After all, it’s with its help that ever more of you are waking up to the awareness of My true nature and theirs and the special relationship every one of you has always had with the Angels and Me. Our love has always been with you and your world, guiding and showing the way. Rest assured that this will forever continue. The whole of Creation rests safely in our loving hands, why should any one of you doubt that this is also true for you, the whole of humankind and your world? Our blessings are with you, at all times.

Trees As Teachers
On the journey of evolving into a Christed one,
Each in their own right, may the Plandemic’s
Darkest time not interfere with the steadfastness
Of our belief that we and our world are resting
Safely in the loving hands of God and the Angels.
Knowing that the darkest hour comes just before
The dawn, literally and metaphorically speaking,
Let the present situation not interfere with your faith
That nonetheless the life that’s been given to
Every human being is a good one.
May the trees be our teacher.
Like them, lets bend before the wind without breaking,
And because our roots, like theirs, are firmly planted
In the experiences of the earthly school of life,
We rest safely in the knowledge that everything
That’s ever happened on the earthly plane is merely
Of a temporary nature and meant to teach
Us the value of something.
With every lifetime the branches of our being
Are reaching higher and higher.
For everybody there comes the time when
We find out that our earthly minds are
The transmitter/receiver stations for the ideas
That flow onto the earthly plane directly
From the Highest levels of life.
The knowledge of this enables us to keep ours
Firmly tuned into their frequencies.
That’s when God and the Angels can start using us
As their channel through which the blessing and healing
Power of their loving energies can keep on
Flowing to wherever they are needed in our world.
This is particularly relevant at Christmas in the year 2020.
When we steadfastly keep on sending kind,
Loving and forgiving thoughts to our world’s
Troublemakers and scaremongers, resting safely
In the knowledge that God and the Angels
Are with us and will always be showing the way
To all those who ask for it,
The truth about the Plandemic’s background
Will keep on bubbling to the surface of our world’s
Consciousness with ever increasing strength.
And that’s what will bring the situation
To its natural happy ending, soon.
To you and your loved ones,
As well as the whole of our world,
a happy and healthy Christmas and New Year 2021.
It comes with something that will cheer you up.

The Living God Within
If you search for me at Christmas,
Look towards the Highest Star.
You won’t find me in Bethlehem,
But right where you are.
You may not be aware of me
Amid the celebrations.
Look towards the Highest realms,
Beyond all earthly decorations.
But if you take a moment
Away from your things to do
And listen to your heart, you’ll find
I’m waiting there for you.
You’re the one I want to be with,
You’re the reason that I came,
And you’ll find me in the stillness
Where I’m whispering your name.
I am the small still voice of your conscience,
Your inner guidance, the living God within,
Who knows the answers to all your questions
And will never lead you into sin.

New Year Message
May Christmas and the New Year bring
To our world the deep and profound happiness
Of knowing that the true Christ child is
Being born in ever more human hearts,
Each time the Divine spark wakes up
In another one of us.
Through this our world turns into
A warmer, kinder and friendlier place.
Every one takes us that bit closer to
The new Golden Age when the balance
Of our world has been restored
And peace, harmony and goodwill
Are its supreme rulers.
May each day of the coming year
Be glad in every way and
Remind us of the joy that this knowledge
Brought us on Christmas day.
A happy and above all healthy New Year,
As well as the best of everything
For you and your loved ones.

Those who try to change our world are sure to fail.
But wise ones who understand its wise higher purpose
Are seeing it in a new light and learn to love it.

Gift Ideas For Ourselves
O Great Spirit, Father/Mother Creator of all life and the Universal Christ, Your only born Son/Daughter, may every heart and soul in both our worlds be opened wide to receive the blessing and healing power of Your wisdom and love. Grant us the gift of finding rest, peace and healing in Your presence and that of the Angels and Masters around Your throne.
May the Christ Star’s light go forth from that place more strongly with each passing day to bring about the greatest miracle of all times, that of healing of humankind and our world. May this light flood and fill all of us and flow from there into the farthest remotest corners of the whole of Creation to bring blessings and healing to wherever it is needed. May the joyful song of the Angels of Healing and Peace bring peace and tolerance, love and goodwill to the heart and soul of humankind, our world and all others throughout the whole of Creation, not only at Christmas but always, forever and ever. Amen
And as gifts for ourselves, let us meet:
Opponents with kindness and tolerance.
Enemies with forgiveness and the peace
that grows from knowing that on the inner level
there is no separation and all is one.
That’s why nobody is our enemy.
In truth is our teacher who was sent
to show us how we do NOT want to be.
Friends with open hearts and minds.
All lifeforms with charity and compassion, kindness and love.
Children by living as good examples they may wish to follow.
Good Things

Santa’s Retirement
Once upon a time around Christmas, Santa noticed that his toy making elves were beginning to show their age by working much slower than they used to. Besides it seemed that not many children on Earth wanted the toys his helpers had always been so good at making. Computers and mobiles phones were much preferred these days. Apart from that, apprentices could not be found anywhere because the younger generations of elves were no longer interested in following in the footsteps of their elders. They preferred watching earthlings with their computer games.
When on top of all that, Mrs. Claus told Santa that her mother was coming to stay with them over Christmas, for the first time he experienced pre-Christmas stress. Well, never mind, he thought, I’ll have a look at how the reindeer are preparing themselves for the great night. Alas, they too had got too long in the tooth and lost their appetite for flying through the air, carried by the magic of Christmas, and pulling the heavy sledge with Santa and his toys. Here too replacements were hard to find because the young reindeer were more interested in moving around freely on their own. Some of them had already run away, the good Heavens alone know where to.
So the old man went to start loading his sleigh. Unfortunately, one of the floorboards had cracked and his toy bag fell through the hole scattering its contents far and wide on the ground below. That was the last straw that broke the proverbial camel’s back. Santa felt he could not cope with any more mishaps. To fortify himself he returned to the house for a glass of cider and maybe a tot of rum. For quite some time he had needed this much more frequently than in his younger days. Alas, the elves had finished the cider and Mrs Claus had hidden the rum. She hated to see Santa in a somewhat inebriated state taking the reins of his sledge.
At that moment the doorbell rang. Greatly irritated about yet another disturbance, Santa marched to the door and yanked it open. To his surprise an Angel stood before him, who greeted him with a smile and said: ‘Santa, I hope you don’t mind me calling. We have been watching you for some time and I have come to tell you that the Angelic Council on the highest level of life has decided that you have done more than enough of this kind of work. You have served humankind well and with immediate effect are going to retire.
From now on, people will have to do without you. Instead we have given them the Christmas tree as one of the many symbols for the tree of life or knowledge. The custom of cutting an evergreen and bringing it indoors is first going to be part of the Nordic Yule celebrations during the shortest and darkest days of winter. Christianity will later import this custom in the process of suppressing what they declare to be pagan religions.
Instead of bringing Christmas presents, this year you are getting one for a change. I have brought you a bottle of your favourite brand of cider and of rum. Keep them in a place where no-one can get at them. And with a ‘Cheers, Santa,’ the Angel vanished from his view.
This is how it came about that, to honour Santa and the Angels, people lay chocolate Santas wrapped in silver foil underneath their Christmas trees and hang small statues of Angels into it. With the passing of time evergreen trees and conifers in particular have become symbols for God’s eternal love that neither waxes nor wanes with the coming and going of the seasons – our world’s and our own. No matter where we are and what we get up to, this is the only kind of love that is faithful and true and never leaves us.
The Universal Christ, the only born Son/Daughter of the Great Father/Mother of all life, with the help of the Angels and Masters of the spirit realm once brought us the Jesus legend and the message: ‘I am the way, the truth and the life.’ Even though it was misunderstood for a long time, the meaning of this message for us and our world always has been: ‘I am the I am. I am as much part of you as you are part of Me. I am the living God within you, who knows the way of all things and the answers to all your questions. I am the truth, the love and the life within you.’ The same voice is now telling us: ‘Rejoice, beloved children of the Earth, for at present ever more of you are waking up into the awareness of their true nature and Mine. This helps them to realise that in truth they are a spark of Me and that the essence of their being is spirit and soul and therefore eternal and immortal like Me.’
To paraphrase the American journalist Charles Bishop Kuralt, 1934-1997: ‘It’s beneficial for our individual and collective mental and spiritual wellbeing to remind ourselves frequently that our whole world is not in flames and that there are people in our world besides politicians, entertainers and criminals, who are doing good things.’ And that’s how many small people in many small places doing small things can and indeed do change our world.
I am convinced there is much more goodness than evil in our world. It’s just that most of us prefer to do good things quietly in the background and therefore draw little attention. Yet, even if not many in our world can see what we are doing, God and the Angels most certainly do. Every good deed that is carried out quietly creates a credit entry in our spiritual bankbook, but ostentatious ones that are merely for publicity do not.
God bless and have a magical Christmas time.
With love and light,
Aquarius

Christmas And New Year Prayer
O Universal Christ, You are the true Christ,
We and our world have been waiting for.
Star of all stars and Light of all lights,
You are the spiritual Sun behind the Sun,
The Great Light and the Highest Star in the whole of Creation.
You are the only born Son/Daughter
Of the Father/Mother Creator of all life,
Whose children we earthlings are.
Your love and wisdom have always been
With us and our world and forever will be.
We welcome You,
The living and loving Spirit onto the Earth.
May Your energies of peace, balance and harmony
Fill our hearts and souls and from there
Flow ever more freely and strongly
Into the spirit/soul of our world and all worlds.
May every one of us be blessed and healed
Through a new understanding of
Your true nature and their own.
May our world’s hope, faith and trust
In the healing power of Your love thus be renewed.
Through Your intervention from the deepest
Innermost core of everybody’s own being
Enable ever more of us to do their share of
Bringing about the new golden age
When loving kindness, balance and harmony
Will be ruling all Mother Earth’s kingdoms.
You are the wise one or living God within.
From there please guide and protect us and
Intuitively show us to find our way home
Into the conscious awareness
Of our oneness with You and all life.
Amen
World Healing Meditation
For Midnight Of Each New Year’s Eve
In the beginning the Great White Spirit, Father/Mother of all life,
Created Heaven and Earth and spoke: ‘Let there be light.’
This is how the Christ Star, the Sun of all Suns and Light of all lights,
Came into being.
Its light constantly flows forth into the whole of Creation.
From it all life is born and that is how it came about
That there is a world for us and that
The Universal Christ’s light and love,
Wisdom and truth exists in us and our world.
Under the radiance of this Star all human hearts open wide,
And the Divine spark in each one turns
Into a small still flame of love.
With the turning of the yearly cycles on the Earth plane,
The intensity of the Christ Star’s rays
Has constantly been increasing.
As a result in many hearts this small flame
Has grown into a blazing and all-consuming fire.
When in our minds it unites itself with the sacred fire
Of Mother Earth and Father Sun,
Hand in hand with God and the Angels
All darkness and fears of Earth life burn away.
They transform themselves into vibrations
That fill every individual heart and soul
With renewed hope, faith and trust,
And thoughts of healing and peace.
From us they are flowing into the
Farthest and remotest corners of the whole of Creation.
Deep inner healing takes place on all levels of life,
As humankind’s wellbeing
And that of our whole world is being restored
By the Angels of Healing and Peace,
And the Great Mother’s wisdom and love flows
Ever more powerfully from all hearts and souls.
At last there is peace on the Earth
And goodwill reigns supreme towards all life.
Forgiveness fills everybody’s whole being
And we are one again with God and the Universe,
In perfect harmony and understanding.
Rejoice!
For when we are healing, all life and lifeforms
Are healing with us.
All glory and honour and thanks be to You,
Great Spirit, Father/Mother of all life,
And your only born Son/Daughter,
The Universal Christ.
Amen

A Message Of Love
A flake of snow in flurry thro’ the air
Had landed like a kiss upon my cheek,
A secret message, just for me to share.
To take to heart but never dare to speak
About or presuppose to other eyes
Your open feelings – distant though they are.
And so, upon your lips, my own surprise,
A flake of snow returned from me afar.
Mark R. Slaughter
New Year Greetings
The Candle
‘There is not enough darkness in the whole of our world to put out the light of one candle.’ Robert Alden
Have you ever sat in front of a burning candle and stared into its flame for any length of time? If so, did you become aware of the feelings of warmth and comfort, of wellbeing and somehow being at home that radiate from it? And did you notice how the flame of one single candle can light up a whole room?
The candle can only do all these things by giving of itself and allowing the flame to consume its substance. Reflect upon this in your moments of disenchantment, when sometimes after your daily toiling and possibly fruitless strivings you feel as if you had given away every last bit of your strength. When you are in this state of exhaustion and sometimes begin to wonder about the sense, purpose and meaning of your efforts, the time has come for building more quiet moments of reflection into your daily life and that as soon as possible. Create a space where you can be undisturbed for a while and make yourself as comfortable as you can in it. Light a candle, look into it and then ask yourself: ‘Have I burnt myself out by being a light for others, giving them signs and showing them directions for new and better ways of being? How many candles of support am I giving to those around me, every day and throughout the whole year, trying to ease their load and lighten their pathway and through this maybe of our whole world? How about myself?’
Spiritually, light is knowledge and wisdom, and darkness is ignorance. It is true that when a candle gives of its light and warmth it can only do so until its own substance has been consumed by the flame and nothing is left. It is different for us because, whenever we attune ourselves to the stream of the Universal Christ’s consciousness, the source of all life and inspiration, every bit of light and warmth we give by nurturing others is constantly renewed by It and returned to us. The Christ’s warmth and light will never dry up or leave us, and the more of it we send into our world, the more we receive. The laws of the Universe command this. The Christ Star’s luminescence shines through all who are acting as Its channels on the Earth plane. The power of Its blessing and healing energies are constantly flowing into and through them and from there into our world, to be shared by all its lifeforms.
May the small still flame in all human hearts grow ever stronger, until the entire planet is filled with nothing but love and light, healing and peace. Instead of asking for earth- and mind-shattering enlightenments, let us pray that every single day of the coming year and all future ones will bring us and our world a constant supply of small rays of light that renews our whole race’s hope, faith and trust that the Divine great plan of life is unfolding as it should. And let’s give thanks and praise for the goodness of the life the Great Father/Mother of all life, and their only born Son/Daughter, the Spirit of the Universal Christ, so kindly provides for each one of us, God’s beloved children of the Earth.
May raindrops fall lightly on your brow,
Soft winds freshen your spirit and
Sunshine brighten your heart.
May the burdens of each day rest lightly upon you
And the Universe forever enfold you
In the sheltering mantle of Its love.
A happy and prosperous New Year to you and your loved ones.

O Great White Spirit, Father/Mother of all life,
Thank you for giving us the year ahead.
Help us to live it hand in hand with You,
As each new day we tread.
Grant us the gift of Your wisdom and love,
So we can help our friends
And grant us You courage and strength,
So a shoulder to each other we can lend.
The new year seems like an empty container.
Help us to fill it with good things
For all Your children of the Earth
And the renewal of faith and trust this brings.
Please give the leaders of our world
The vision of peace,
So that hand in hand with You and the Angels
Warmongering and crime will cease.
Please give to all upon this Earth
A heart that’s filled with the love
Of wise and gentle ways of living
With Your blessings from above.

Wishes For The New Year
At the beginning of each new year, let’s raise our glasses to the renewal of love and hope, faith and trust in our world and that you and I will be able to contribute to bringing about the greatest healing miracle of all times, the healing of humankind and its world, and our own healing within it.
May our battles be few, our pleasures be many and hand in hand with God and the Angels may our highest hopes and dreams, aspirations and wishes find fulfilment.
May the gift of Divine courage and strength help us to cope with any losses and hardships we may have to endure during the redemption of our most ancient karmic debts. May the Highest Forces of life guide and protect us and show us ways of reconstructing our lives nearer to our heart’s desire.
May God’s love and peace deeply penetrate all human hearts and may their spirit/souls be graced with serenity. May every aspect of our own being, the whole of humankind and our world be blessed and healed during the times we spend in communication with the Highest in prayers, meditations and quiet reflections on the beauty and wonder and the basic goodness of the life we have been given.
Wishing you a very happy New Year.

The Best Is Yet To Be
The best is never over,
The best has never gone.
There’s always something beautiful
That keeps us marching on.
There is a compensation
For every cross we have to bear,
And a secret consolation,
Always waits for us somewhere.
Every end is a new beginning
And as one day we’ll surely see,
The best is never over,
The best is yet to be.
And because the law of life
Is love and evolution,
With evolution based on love,
That is by no means an empty promise
For every human being and our whole world.

Recipe For A Wholesome New Year
Take twelve months and bless them,
So that they are cleansed of bitterness and greed,
Fault-finding and fear.
Divide each section into one portion for each day,
So that your store will last you for the whole of the year.
And then, throughout the coming one,
Every day serve a portion that consists of:
Equal parts of work and toiling
That are done with humour and joy;
Three heaped tablespoons of optimism;
One teaspoon of tolerance;
One grain of mirth;
Add a generous pinch of tact
And pour lots of love over all of it.
When ready for serving:
Garnish with bunches of kindness and attentiveness.
Serve daily with cheerfulness,
A blessing and also a refreshing cup of tea.
Katharina Elisabeth Goethe 1731/1808
Mother of the German poet
Translation by Aquarius
Happy New Year.
As You Like It
Another Recipe For A Wholesome New Year
Take equal quantities of economy, industry,
Cleanliness, regularity and watchfulness.
Allow them to simmer together
In the vessel called conscience.
When cool, add sufficient spirit of authority
And good humour to taste.
If not clear, add a few grains of resolution.
While fit for use in one year,
It will keep a very long time
And improve with age.

A Celebration Of Spring
Now that the winter’s gone, the Earth hath lost
Her snow-white robes and now no more the frost
Candies the grass or casts an icy cream
Upon the silver lake or crystal stream.
The warm Sun thaws the benumbed Earth
And makes it tender, gives a sacred birth
To the dead swallow and wakes in hollow tree
The drowsy cuckoo and the bumble-bee.
Now do a choir of chirping minstrels bring
In triumph to the world the youthful spring.
The valleys, hills and woods in rich array
Welcome the coming of the longed for May.
Now all things smile, only my love doth lower.
Nor hath the scalding noon-day Sun the power
To melt that marble ice, which still doth hold
Her heart congealed and makes her pity cold.
The ox, which lately did for shelter fly
Into the stall, doth now securely lie
In open fields. And love no more is made
By the fireside but in the cooler shade.
Amyntas now doth with his Chloris sleep
Under a sycamore and all things keep
Time with the season. Only she doth carry
June in her eyes and in her heart January.
Thomas Carew 1640
Springtime Prayer
We thank thee,
O Great Father/Mother of all life and
Your only born Son/Daughter,
The Universal Christ, for:
Flowers blooming profusely at our feet,
Tender grass, so fresh and sweet,
The song of birds and humming of bees,
For all things bright and beautiful
We hear and see.
We add thanks and praise to this for:
The blue of streams and sky,
The pleasant shade of branches high,
The fragrant air and cooling breeze,
For the beauty of blossoming trees,
The love and warmth of the Great Light,
Who is the Sun behind and beyond the
Sun in the sky above our world,
Who every year brings about the renewal
Of all manifestations of its natural kingdoms.

Happy Easter 2022
This year’s Easter is an extra special one and that’s
because the light, which for some time by now
has been emerging with steadily increasing strength
from the cave, where our world’ old religions used to
keep humankind imprisoned with their strange tales and
false beliefs, for example that Jesus is a historical figure,
who once walked on the earthly plane of life.
The radiance that’s now flowing from that cave into
our world is the one of TRUTH that comes from
realising that Jesus always has been and forever will
merely represent every human being’s
own higher God or Christ nature.
That is because:
The Aquarian age is the age of truth and
There is only one religion, the one of love, goodness and kindness,
honesty and truth towards all manifestations of life in the whole of Creation.
There is only one country, the whole of Mother Earth.
There is only one race and chosen people, the whole of humankind.
There is only one gender, who is androgynous, whole and holy.
There is only one language, the language of the heart.
And there is only one God and that’s
The Great Father/Mother of all life
And their only born Son/Daughter,
The Spirit of the Universal Christ.
Together they form the Holy Trinity, who is
Omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient.
Now please take a look at what I have prepared
for your extra special Easter 2022 celebrations:

Easter Message 2021
Since the beginning of human life on planet Earth,
In its spiritual background on the highest levels,
Easter has been celebrated as a time of
Resurrection and renewal for all manifestations
Of life on our plane.
This point has been reached each time
The Sun in the sky above us enters Aries.
That’s the zodiac’s point of all beginnings,
When the Universe’s energies are providing our world
With the gift of an uprushing fountain of life
That refurbishes and renews everything it touches.
In the year 2021 these energies are also bringing about
The waking up of humankind’s spiritual nature.
That’s why ever more of us are consciously becoming aware
That their spirit/soul is the most important aspect of their being.
This recognition is the stone that for long enough
Has rested on the tomb of an increasingly
Over-materialistic approach to life.
The wise higher purpose of our world’s
Present state is getting rid of this stone,
So that in ever more of us the truth about their
Earthly existence and the awareness of
Their higher God or Christ nature,
As a spark of the Universal Christ’s Light
And beloved child of the Great Father/Mother
Of all life wakes up from its slumbering state.
At last the time has come for showing us
That God and the Angels are the only ones
Who have ever truly been in charge, on all levels,
Of every one of us and also our world,
And by no means the pharma industry and the
Troublemakers and scaremongers is employs and pays.
The Angels and Masters of the Christ Circle
On the highest levels of life assure us with this
Message that all is well with us and our world
And forever will be.
Their reins will forever rest firmly in their hands,
Although it frequently does not look like this on our plane.
It’s done to create the impression that everybody
Can do as they please, but that’s never been the case.
That’s why the fate of us and our world
Will forever rest safely in their loving hands.
May the awareness of this fill
Ever more human hearts and souls to overflowing
With feeling of love and joy, peace and happiness.
Happy Easter to you and your loved ones.
With love and light,
Aquarius
Easter Friendship Greetings
The Aquarian age is the age of siblinghood and friendship.
It’s bringing our world the discovery that in truth
Every manifestation of life in the whole of Creation,
Therefore also in our world,
Is our sibling and friend.
Ever more of us a waking up to this awareness
And therefore are reaching out to send
Kind, loving and forgiving thoughts to everybody,
And especially to the likes of Bill Gates and all other
Troublemakers and scaremongers of our world.
Such thoughts feed into humankind’s
Light stream of consciousness and that’s helping
The light of their higher God or Christ nature
To increase ever more in strength so that it
Wakes up from its slumbering state.
These thoughts are particularly effective when
The Sun in the sky above us is moving through Aries,
The zodiac’s point of all new beginnings.
Its energies represent the uprushing fountain of life that
Brings regeneration and renewal of everything
On the earthly plane.
No matter how someone behaves to this day
On the grand stage of humankind’s earthly existence,
Nobody is really our enemy.
This is because earthly life is but a school,
A place of learning, no more and no less.
And everybody who is taking part in it,
At any given time, is one of its students,
Who as a spark of the Universal Christ’s light,
Is a beloved child of the Great Father/Mother of all life,
Who has the very best as well as the worst within them.
The unpleasant ones in our midst deserve our forgiveness,
For they have no idea that they are still occupied
With experiencing their nature’s lower unevolved side.
Being ‘ruled by their Stars’, as everybody is during the early
Stages of their development as young Gods in the making,
They can’t help themselves.
Yet, there is something we can do to assist
Their higher God or Christ nature to grow ever stronger,
So that it gradually takes over its earthly counterpart,
And that’s sending them kind, loving and forgiving thoughts,
As many as possible.
When all is said and done,
Don’t you think the unpleasant ones deserve
To be called our special friends,
Because they are showing us the way
We no longer want to be?

Easter Greetings
The silver trumpets rang across the Dome.
The people knelt upon the ground with awe
And borne upon the necks of men I saw,
Like some great God, the Holy Lord of Rome.
Priest-like, he wore a robe more white than foam,
And, king-like, swathed himself in royal red,
Three crowns of gold rose high upon his head:
In splendour and in light the Pope passed home.
My heart stole back across wide wastes of years
To One who wandered by a lonely sea
And sought in vain for any place of rest:
‘Foxes have holes and every bird its nest,
I, only I, must wander wearily,
Bruise my feet and drink wine salted with tears.’
Oscar Wilde
1854 – 1900

In the year 2020 I am greeting you from the world of light.
I rejoice because the sad part of humankind’s
Evolutionary journey I described in my poem
Is drawing to its natural close.
It’s good to know that Jesus never was a historical figure,
So never had to walk with bruised feet and
Drink his wine salted with tears.
He is a thoughtform that was created by
God and the Angels for taking us closer to the
Discovery that every human being
Consists of a lower earthly part and
A higher Christ or God one
Whose symbol Jesus always has been.
My heart sings with joy that it is waking
From its slumber in ever more of you earthlings.
And that is the Resurrection all of us in the spirit realm
Are celebrating.

May Celebration For The Great Mother Of All Life
Bring flowers of the rarest,
Bring blossoms the fairest,
From garden and woodland
And hillside and dale.
Our full hearts are swelling,
Our glad voices telling
The praise of the loveliest flower of the vale.
Great Mother, we crown Thee with blossoms today,
Queen of the Angels and Queen of the May.
Great Mother, we crown Thee with blossoms today,
Queen of the Angels and Queen of the May,
Their Lady they name Thee,
Their Mistress proclaim Thee,
Oh, grant that Thy children on Earth be as true,
As long as the bowers
Are radiant with flowers,
As long as the azure shall keep its bright hue.
Great Mother, we crown Thee with blossoms today,
Queen of the Angels and Queen of the May,
Great Mother, we crown Thee with blossoms today,
Queen of the Angels and Queen of the May,
Sing gaily in chorus,
The bright Angels o’er us
Re-echo the strains we begin upon Earth.
Their harps are repeating
The notes of our greeting,
And You, Great Mother,
Are the cause of our mirth.
This hymn is sung during the ‘May Crowning’ of a statue of Mary in May. Mary is one of the many symbolisms for the Great Mother of all life. I am sharing it with you on 2nd May 2020 because the second day of every month is ruled by Cancer and that is the Great Mother’s caring and nurturing sign of the zodiac. On the inner level our world’s calendars have always interfered with and disturbed the harmony and wellbeing of the Cosmic order of the whole of Creation. This order manifests itself quite clearly in the dance of our solar system’s planets in the sky above us. They are constantly interacting with each other and with everything else that exists in the immensity of space and time.

• ‘The Dance Of The Flowers’
Towards the end of April the Sun moves into earthy and sensuous Taurus. This is a time that presents us and our world with a dramatic change of tempo. After the breakneck speed and impatience of Mars in fiery Aries, Venus in earthy Taurus enters the main stage. In this sign the planet finds some of its finest feminine expressions and brings to souls born into it, as well as everybody else at this time of the year, a wonderful sense of enjoyment and appreciation of the good things in life. Gracefully and with a deliberately measured pace, Earth presents herself as a beautiful young bride. Bedecked with a profusion of flowers, blossoms and new greenery as far as the eye can see, she reveals to us the freshness of as yet unspoilt youth.
Sun in Aries represents the renewed betrothal of Mother Earth and Father Sun. But when the Sun moves into Taurus they are celebrating their wedding feast. The Universe invites all of us to take time out and enjoy with all our senses one of the greatest Cosmic events, of which the betrothal, the wedding feast with its renewal of all life on the Earth plane are outer physical manifestations of what’s happening on the inner levels of life.
When it’s springtime in the Northern hemisphere and all of nature is stirring after its winter rest, spring blossoms appear everywhere in breathtaking abundance and beauty. Admiring them, let us remind ourselves from time to time of the process of spiritual growth and harmony that is constantly at work behind any manifestation in the world around us. All children of the Universal Life Force, who are aware of this, have their work cut out for themselves, not merely on the physical plane but by adding their voices to the Angelic choirs of praise and thanksgiving that forms an essential part of the great orchestra of life.
Watching Mother Nature newly unfolding helps us to become more aware of and in tune with those who are beavering behind the outer form of life, to bring us fresh evidence of God’s life manifesting itself in our world. Whenever an opportunity for it arises, let us therefore get out and about and under he canopy of Heaven enjoy the shelter and shade of the mighty branches of the Universal Tree of Life, God, and absorb His/Her blessings of healing and peace for ourselves and all lifeforms, visible and invisible, that shares world with us.
From ‘The Sun In Taurus’
Autumn
To my mind nothing describes more eloquently the energies of the autumn signs Libra and Scorpio than music. Libra is the sign of love and relationships ruled by Venus, and Scorpio, the sign of death and birth, rebirth and regeneration. Each one of the songs in this section is filled with the melancholy that is an inevitable part of the happiness loving relationships bring into our lives, because in our heart of hearts we know that sooner of later they must end. The songs convey the mood of a departure that is inevitably approaching, whenever and however it may come about. The sadness this creates in human hearts has its origin in not knowing that in truth there is no death and that such partings are only ever for a while.
The Last Rose Of Summer
‘Tis the last rose of summer,
Left blooming alone.
All her lovely companions
Are faded and gone.
No flower of her kindred,
No rosebud is nigh,
To reflect back her blushes
Or give sigh for sigh.
I’ll not leave thee, thou lone one,
To pine on the stem.
Since the lovely are sleeping,
Go, sleep thou with them.
Thus kindly I’ll scatter
Thy leaves o’er the bed,
Where thy mates of the garden
Lie scentless and dead.
So soon may I follow,
When friendships decay
And from love’s shining circle
The gems drop away.
When true hearts lie withered
And fond ones are flown,
Oh! Who would inhabit
This bleak world alone?
Written by the Irish poet Thomas Moore, a contemporary and friend of Byron and Shelley. Moore wrote this poem in 1805 while at Jenkinstown Park in County Kilkenny, Ireland. It was set to a traditional tune called ‘Aislean an Oigfear’ or ‘The Young Man’s Dream’, which had been transcribed by Edward Bunting in 1792 based on a performance by harper Donnchadh Ó hÁmsaigh or Denis Hempson at the Belfast Harp Festival. The Poem and tune together were published in December 1813 in a collection of Moore’s work under the heading ‘A Selection of Irish Melodies’.

Try To Remember
Try to remember the kind of September,
When life was slow and oh, so mellow.
Try to remember the kind of September,
When grass was green and the grain was yellow.
Try to remember the kind of September,
When you were a tender and callow fellow.
Try to remember, and if you remember,
Then follow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
That no-one wept, except the willow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
That dreams were kept beside your pillow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
That love was an ember about to billow.
Try to remember, and if you remember,
Then follow.
Deep in December, it’s nice to remember,
Although you know the snow will follow.
Deep in December, it’s nice to remember,
Without a hurt the heart is hollow.
Deep in December, it’s nice to remember,
The fire of September that made us mellow.
Deep in December, our hearts should remember
And follow.

September Song
Oh, it’s a long long while from May to December,
But the days grow short when you reach September.
When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame
And you haven’t got time for the waiting game.
When the days dwindle down to a precious few,
September, November.
And these few golden days I’ll share with you,
These golden days I’ll share with you.
When you meet with the young girls early in the Spring,
You court them in song and in rhyme.
They answer with words and a clover ring,
But if you could examine the goods they bring,
They have little to offer but the songs they sing
And the plentiful waste of time of day,
A plentiful waste of time.
Oh, it’s a long, long while from May to December,
But the days grow short when you reach September.
When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame,
One hasn’t got time for the waiting game.
Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few,
September, November,
And these few precious days I’ll spend with you,
These precious days I’ll spend with you.

Autumn Leaves
The falling leaves
Drift by my window.
The falling leaves of red and gold.
I see your lips,
The summer kisses,
The sunburned hands I used to hold.
Since you went away,
The days grow long
And soon I’ll hear old winter song,
But I miss you most of all, my darling,
When autumn leaves start to fall.
Since you went away,
The days grow long,
And soon I’ll hear old winter song.
But I miss you most of all, my darling,
When autumn leaves start to fall.
I miss you most of all, my darling,
When autumn leaves start to fall.
A much-recorded song that originally appeared in 1945 as the French song ‘Les feuilles mortes’, literally ‘The Dead Leaves’, with music by the Hungarian-French composer Joseph Kosma and lyrics by the poet Jacques Prévert. Its Hungarian title is ‘Hulló levelek’ or ‘Falling Leaves’. In 1946 Yves Montand with Irène Joachim introduced it as ‘Les feuilles mortes’ in the film ‘Les Portes de la nuit’.

God’s Praise In Nature
When through the woods and forest glades I wander
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze;
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee:
‘How great Thou art! How great Thou art!’
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee:
‘How great Thou art! How great Thou art!’
Summer and winter, and spring-time and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above,
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness, Father/Mother Creator, unto me.
