And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and

you shall call his name Jesus. He will be great and will be called

the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the

throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there

will be no end.” Luke 1:31-33 (ESV)

“How Mary and Joseph Viewed Christmas”

Pastor Groover

As with gladness, men of oldDid the guiding star behold

As with joy they hailed its lightLeading onward, beaming brightSo, most glorious Lord, may we

Evermore be led to Thee.

117 “As With Gladness, Men of Old”

As with joyful steps they spedTo that lowly manger bed

There to bend the knee beforeHim Whom Heaven and earth adore;

So may we with willing feetEver seek The mercy seat.

117 “As With Gladness, Men of Old”

As they offered gifts most rareAt the manger rude and bare;

So may we with holy joy,Pure and free from sin’s alloy,

All our costliest treasures bring,Christ, to Thee, our heavenly King.

117 “As With Gladness, Men of Old”

Holy Jesus, every dayKeep us in the narrow way;

And, when earthly things are past,Bring our ransomed souls at last

Where they need no star to guide,Where no clouds Thy glory hide.
