“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men (Luke 2: 1-14 KJV).”

Amen. To God be the glory!

Hymn: To God be the glory, great things He has done                                                       

[Lyrics: Fanny Crosby/ Tune: William Howard Doane/ Published 1875/ Public Domain]

1. To God be the glory, great things He hath done,
   So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,
   Who yielded His life an atonement for sin,
   And opened the life gate that all may go in.




• Refrain:
  Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, let the earth hear His voice!
  Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, let the people rejoice!
  Oh, come to the Father, through Jesus the Son,
  And give Him the glory, great things He hath done.




2. Oh, perfect redemption, the purchase of blood,
   To every believer the promise of God;
   The vilest offender who truly believes,
   That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.


3. Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done,
   And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;
   But purer, and higher, and greater will be
   Our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see.
