The whole creation's head and Lord, by highest seraphim adored, assumed our very nature; Jesus, grant us, through your merit, to inherit your salvation. Hear, O hear our supplication. 3 Rejoice, O heavens, and earth, reply; with praise, O sinners, fill the sky for this, his incarnation. Incarnate God, put forth your power, ride on, ride on, great Conqueror, till all know your salvation. Amen, amen! Alleluia, alleluia! Praise be given evermore by earth and heaven.

Yours I am, O spotless Lamb, so will I let nothing hide you, seek no joy beside you! 2 Let your arms enfold me: those who try to wound me cannot reach me here. Though the earth be shaking, every heart be quaking, Jesus calms my fear. Fires may flash and thunder crash; yea, though sin and hell assail me, Jesus will not fail me. 3 Hence, all worldly treasure! Jesus is my pleasure, Jesus is my choice. Hence, all empty glory! What to me your story told with tempting voice? Pain or loss or shame or cross shall not from my Savior move me, since he chose to love me. 4 Banish thoughts of sadness, for the Lord of gladness, Jesus, enters in; though the clouds may gather, those who love the Savior still have peace within. Though I bear much sorrow here, still in you lies purest pleasure, Jesus, priceless treasure! Scripture: Psalm 73:25 Used With Tune: JESU, MEINE FREUDE

O morning stars, together proclaim the holy birth, and praises sing to God the King, and peace to men on earth. 3 How silently, how silently the wondrous Gift is given; so God imparts to human hearts the blessings of his heaven!

We hear the Christmas angels the great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, our Lord Emmanuel. Scripture: Job 38:7 Used With Tune: ST. LOUIS
