On
this night of
beauty
Stars so very
bright
Kings of
different
nations
Brought their
gifts tonight
Hearts all
filled so joyful
With love that
they would share
Baby born of
Heaven
Their Savior to
revere
Dressed in all
their splendor
They followed
special star
Brought them to
a manger
The traveled
very far
These Kings of
greatest glory
Whose royalty
was known
Saw a baby
swaddled
In love upon His
throne
Poverty of
beauty
Love of gentle
Son
Hand held out to
greet them
This night their
hearts were won
The gift of
greatest wealth
Before them lay
in straw
They fell upon
their knees know
Majestic Light
they saw.

Jesus Is the Reason for the Season
The Christmas Story
St. Luke 2:1- 21
1. And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree
from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.
2. And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.
3. And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
4. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth,
into Judea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem
because he was of the house and lineage of David
5.To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
6. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were
accomplished that she should be delivered.
7. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him
in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger;
because there was no room for them in the inn.
8. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding
in the field, keeping watch over their flock
by night.
9. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the
glory of the Lord shone round about them:
and they were sore afraid.
10. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold,
I bring you good tidings of great joy,
which shall be to all people.
11. For unto you is born this day in the city of David
a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe
wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host
praising God, and saying,
14. Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
15. And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from
them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another,
Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing
which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made
known unto us.
16. And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph,
and the babe lying in a manger.
17. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the
saying which was told them concerning this child.
18. And all they that heard it wondered at those things which
were told them by the shepherds.
19. But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
20. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God
for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
21. And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising
of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named
of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
