25. Christmas Day. Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end. Isa. ix 6,7

Hosannah to king David's Son,

Who reigns on a superior throne!

We bless the Prince of heavenly birth,

Who brings salvation down to earth.

Let every nation, every age,

In this delightful work engage;

Old men and babes in Zion sing

The growing glories of her King.

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. Luke ii 14

26. The Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek: he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty, to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound. Isa. lxi 1

Jesus, lover of my soul,

Let me to they bosom fly,

While the raging billows roll,

While the tempest still is nigh.

Hide me, O my Saviour, hide,

Till the storm of life is past;

Safe into the haven guide,

O receive my soul at last.

To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mournng, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. Isa lxi 2,3

He came for you and for me, different as we might be. He meets each of us where we are, the Holy Spirit alive within our hearts. There is room for one more, come home, sings the song; Jesus is tenderly calling, come home.

May the Prince of Peace fill your soul so that your joy will be known in all circumstances.
