Luke 2:4-7
4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, 5 to be registered with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. 6 And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. 7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.
Hymn: WS 704, st. 1,4-5 : Oh Lord, How Shall I Meet You
1. O Lord, how shall I meet You,
How welcome you aright?
Your people long to greet You,
My Hope, my heart’s Delight!
O Jesus, let Your Word
Be a lamp to light my way,
To show me how to please You,
To guide me ev’ry day.
4. Love caused Your incarnation,
Love brought You down to me;
Your thirst for my salvation
Procured my liberty.
O love beyond all telling,
That led you to embrace
In love all love excelling
Our lost and fallen race.
5. Rejoice, then, you sad-hearted,
Who sit in deepest gloom,
Who mourn o’er joys departed,
And tremble at your doom:
Despair not; He is near you,
He’s standing at the door;
Who best can help and cheer you,
And bids you weep no more.
