Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence
“Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judæa in the days of Herod the
king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in
the east, and are come to worship him.”

Matthew 2: 1-2 |

“It is better to follow even the shadow of the best,
than to remain content with the worst,
and those who would see wonderful things
must often be ready to travel alone.”

“The Other Wise Man”, 1896

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
This Newsletter
event repeats each year, but this is the first time we've used this ancient hymn.
Today is
Epiphany, the Twelfth Day of Christmas. As we as
Latter-day Saints do not personally
observe this Visitation of the Magi, my children know this primarily as "The Day
Mom Gets Really REALLY Sad Because She Has to Take Down All Her Christmas
Decorations - Unless She Can Find a Loophole."
This year Mom
managed to find a found a couple of loopholes - first, we keep
getting sick so we keep having to take sick days. Sick days do not count
against you. They're Freebies (I made that part up myself).
Second, by doing a little at a time as the
FlyLady had recommended, we've
actually taken everything down and packed it away (which considering how
wildly and thoroughly I had decorated the entire house was quite an
accomplishment in itself) except for the main living room
tree
(with which I can only barely stand to part).
Third, as long
as all the outside decorations have been removed, it's not so bad, and mine are,
so I'm covered there (I made that part up myself. too).

Keep Silence - Fernando Ortega
From
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let_all_mortal_flesh_keep_silence:
| Let all mortal flesh keep silence is an ancient chant
of
Eucharistic devotion based on words from
Habakkuk 2:20, "Let all the earth keep silence before him". The
original was composed in Greek as a Cherubic Hymn for the Offertory of
the
Divine Liturgy of St James in the fourth century AD,
with local churches adopting arrangements in Syriac. In modern times,
the
Ralph Vaughan Williams arrangement of a translation from the Greek
by
Gerard Moultrie to the tune of
Picardy, a French medieval folk melody, popularized the hymn among
other Christian congregations. The Moultrie translation is written in
87.87
Trochaic meter. Therefore, winged in the first line of the
fourth stanza ought to be read or sung as a single syllable. However,
the two-syllable variant wingèd has become commonly accepted,
especially outside of the United Kingdom. |

YESTERDAY IN 1963:
TODAY IN 1963:
From Wayne Agee
('58) of FL - 01/05/12 - "Actual Footage from a Civil War Soldiers Reunion at
Gettysburg!":
..... a great piece that
we all should see and remember.
WayneActual Footage from a Civil War
Soldiers Reunion at Gettysburg!
No doubt, America's most devastating war:
Unfortunately, in today's world you could ask any high school senior
about this war and they will know little of it.
Actually, most of them can't tell you anything about any of the wars
this country has fought.
Sad to see a generation of young Americans who know so little of the
sacrifices millions made in keeping order in a crazy world full of some
very nasty people Past and present.
Lest
we forget those who died in the Civil
war..........never forget those who died
in every war!!!!.......!
Be sure and
see the stats at the very end.
Priceless Video. Everyone should see this. A piece of History
that we should never forget.
Stirring footage of
Civil War vets reunion @
Gettysburg.
(It's not over until a little after the stats are shown)

Thank you so much for
sharing this with us, Wayne!
I particularly appreciated seeing
this as my second great-grandfather, Capt.
William Munford Tuck, CSA
(16 Dec 1832 - 17 Oct 1899)
participated in Pickett's Charge at the Battle of Gettysburg. As
Commander of Company K, Longstreet's Division, he was one of the few who
made it over that dreadful wall. He was captured and taken to the
POW camp for Confederate officers at Johnson's Island, Ohio. At
war's end, having been "relieved" of his horse, he walked home to
Virginia, so broken and emaciated that his own family did not recognize
him. Needless to say, he did not live long enough to attend that
reunion.....

Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence
Text:
Divine Liturgy of St James, 4th
century; trans. by
Gerard Moultrie (16 Sept 1829 - 25 Aug 1885)
Music: French carol melody; harm. from The English Hymnal
Let all mortal flesh keep silence,
and with fear and trembling stand;
ponder nothing earthly-minded,
for with blessing in his hand,
Christ our God to earth descendeth,
our full homage to demand.
King of kings, yet born of Mary,
as of old on earth he stood,
Lord of lords, in human vesture,
in the body and the blood;
he will give to all the faithful
his own self for heavenly food.
Rank on rank the host of heaven
spreads its vanguard on the way,
as the Light of light descendeth
from the realms of endless day,
that the powers of hell may vanish
as the darkness clears away.
At his feet the six-winged seraph,
cherubim, with sleepless eye,
veil their faces to the presence,
as with ceaseless voice they cry:
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Alleluia, Lord Most High!
