Break Forth, O Beauteous, Heavenly Light
O Come, All Ye Faithful
Joy to the World
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was
God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him,
and without Him not one thing came into being. What has come into being in Him
was life, and the life was the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness did not overcome it.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. He came as a witness to
testify to the Light, so that all might believe through him. He himself was not the
Light, but he came to testify to the Light. The true Light, which enlightens
everyone, was coming into the world.
He was in the world, and the world came into being through Him; yet the world did
not know Him. He came to what was His own, and His own people did not accept
Him. But to all who received Him, who believed in His name, He gave power to
become children of God, who were born, not of blood or of the will of the flesh or
of the will of man, but of God.
And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen His glory, the
glory as of a Father's only Son, full of grace and truth.
NARRATIVE
Sing we now our songs of praise
to the One who crowns our days;

Come and worship at His birth!
