"As shepherds watched their flocks by night"
So...you have watched your own.
Many hearts have been made light
Through the guidance you have shown.

Many you've led closer to HIM
By the giving of yourself.
Many have found comfort from
The books on your office shelf.

So often we have called on you
And you are always there...
To share our joys..and out sorrows
And to let us know your care.

We want you to know that we care too...
For you and your family so dear..
So you are wished a joyous CHRISTmas
And a year filled with happiness and cheer!

Written for my brother's Minister who was leaving their congregation.
