For the beauty of the earth,
For the glory of the skies,
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies,
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.

Of the day and of the night,
Hill and vale, and tree and flower,
Sun and moon, and stars of light,
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.

For the joy of human love,
Brother, sister, parent, child;
Friends on earth, and friends above;
For all gentle thoughts and mild;
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.

For Thyself, best gift divine,
To the world so freely given;
For that great, great love of Thine,
Pease on earth and joy in heaven;

This our hymn of grateful praise.

Hymn: “Child in the Manger
Child in the manger,
Infant of Mary,
Outcast and Stranger,
Lord of all,
Child who inherits
All our transgressions-
All our demerits
On Him fall

Once the most holy
Child of salvation
Gently and lowly
Lived below.
Now as our glorious
Mighty Redeemer,
See Him victorious
O’er each foe.

Prophets foretold Him-
Infant of wonder;
Angels below Him
On His throne.
Worthy Savior
Of all our praises;
Happy forever
Are His own.

Closing Prayer: I come and adore the newborn King. Thank Your, Lord for the best, and most important gift of the season. Amen.
