Christmas Day, South Cathedral, Beijing.

Merry Christmas, one and all.

O Holy Night

O holy night!
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Savior’s birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till he appear’d and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary soul rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!

Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night divine

Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming
Here come the wise men from Orient land
The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friend

Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name

At church I learned that this carol was written by a piano seller. A pastor worked to get a new organ. He sought to involve as many people in his small village as possible. He asked the piano seller, who rarely went to church, to write a song and this was the result

Flâneur

No matter what I do in China, as welcome as I feel, I’m naturally a flâneur, which is a fancy word for objective observer. Here I’m sharing a recently repainted administration building.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Look Up

So July’s City Daily Photo theme was Look Down, which I posted for on this blog. So it’s weirdly coincidental that WordPress has chosen Look Up as a theme this week.
Anyway, here’s my post for the week.

July Theme Day: Look Down

This month’s theme is: Look Down. You can learn something when you look down.

I took a walking tour around Tiananmen Square and learned that these rectangular covers are for port-a-potties Beijing-style. When there’s an event they would open the tops and put tents over the areas for a little, very little privacy. Now I notice them around Wangfujing Street and near Qianmen Avenue.
