God has done great things for us!

God’s love is heralded in the promise of Christ.

 

Holy is God’s name!

God’s promises are fulfilled in the coming of Christ.

God’s mercy extends from generation to generation.

God’s salvation is offered in the gift of Christ.

Hymn                                               “O Come, All Ye Faithful”                         UMH 234

1. O come all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant, O come ye, O come ye, to Bethlehem. Come and behold him, born the King of angels;

Refrain: O come let us adore him, O come let us adore him, O come let us adore him, Christ the Lord.

2. True God of true God, Light from Light Eternal, lo, he shuns not the Virgin's womb; Son of the Father, begotten not created;

(Refrain)

3. Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation; O sing, all ye citizens 

of heaven above! Glory to God, all glory in the highest;

(Refrain)

4. See how the shepherds, summoned to his cradle, leaving their flocks,

draw nigh to gaze; we too will thither bend our joyful footsteps;

 (Refrain)

Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name.

Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses,

As we forgive those that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation,

But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever, Amen.
