“…the angel Gabriel was sent from God”
…behold, an angel of the Lord
appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid
to take Mary as your wife.”
“The First Nowell”
…for today in the city of David
there has been born for you a Savior,
who is Christ the Lord.
“God and Sinners Reconciled!”
God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself,
not counting their trespasses against them,
and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
“Somewhere In Your Silent Night”
“God Himself will be among them, and He will
WIPE AWAY EVERY TEAR FROM THEIR EYES;
and there will no longer be any death;
there will no longer be
any mourning, or crying, or pain.
The first things passed away.”
“Thou Who Wast Rich Beyond All Splendour”
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
that though He was rich,
yet for your sake He became poor,
so that you through His poverty might become rich.
“Good Tidings of Great Joy to All People”
And an angel of the Lord
suddenly stood before them,
and the glory of the Lord
shone around them.
“There’s Still My Joy”
“…a bruised reed he will not break,
and a dimly burning wick
he will not quench…”
“God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen”
“Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace among men
with whom He is pleased.”
“Joy to the World!”
“For behold, I bring you
good news of great joy
which will be for all the people!”
