7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.(KJV)


Hymn: WS 711:
See in Yonder Manger Low

Hymnary.org


1. See in yonder manger low,  
Born for us on earth below, 
See the gentle Lamb appears,  
Promised from eternal years. 
Hail, the ever- blessed morn;  
Hail redemption’s happy dawn; 
Sing through all Jerusalem:  
“Christ is born in Bethlehem!” 

2. Lo, within a stable lies  
He who built the starry skies, 
He who, throned in height sublime,  
Sits amid the cherubim. 
Hail, the ever- blessed morn;  
Hail redemption’s happy dawn; 
Sing through all Jerusalem:  
“Christ is born in Bethlehem!” 

3. Sacred Infant, all divine,  
What a tender love was Thine, 
Thus to come from highest bliss  
Down to such a world as this. 
Hail, the ever- blessed morn;  
Hail redemption’s happy dawn; 
Sing through all Jerusalem:  
“Christ is born in Bethlehem!” 

4. Teach, oh, teach us, holy Child,  
By Thy face so meek and mild, 
Teach us to resemble Thee  
In Thy sweet humility. 
Hail, the ever- blessed morn;  
Hail redemption’s happy dawn; 
Sing through all Jerusalem:  
“Christ is born in Bethlehem!”
