We gather this night to celebrate a promise, a promise from God in Christ that brings light in the midst of our darkness, hope to those who are in despair, release, pray God, to those who are in captivity, joy to us in the midst of our sorrow, life that overcomes even our death.

- Beloved in Christ, at this Christmas Eve, let it be our desire and our delight to hear again the message of the angels who spoke the good news long ago, and let us in heart and mind go even unto Bethlehem and see this glorious event which has come to pass and behold the babe lying in a manger. Therefore, let us read and hear from Holy Scripture the tale of the loving purposes of God from the times of Isaiah even unto the glorious redemption brought for us by the child. And so now in his spirit and with his love in us, let us offer to God our prayers. O God, we pray for the needs of the whole world, for peace on earth and goodwill among all your people, for unity and understanding within the church Christ came to build. O God, we remember in the name of Christ the poor and helpless, the cold, the hungry, and the oppressed, the sick and those who mourn, the lonely and unloved, the aged and the little children, all those who need love and care and healing and health in this mortal life. And then, O God, we remember all those who rejoice with us in the good news of the coming of the Christ child, that multitude without number, those whose hope is fulfilled in the word made flesh, and all those with whom we are one now and forevermore. Come very near now, O God, and warm our hearts with your divine loving, sustaining presence. We wait as little children to sing and rejoice together. Give us hearts and voices of one sound and mind to receive and to share your love this night and tomorrow and all the tomorrows yet to be. We offer this prayer and the prayer which Christ taught us, saying. 

- Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on Earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever, Amen.

- Christ's birth and kingdom are foretold by Isaiah. "There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, "and a branch shall grow out of his roots. "And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, "the spirit of wisdom and understanding, "the spirit of counsel and might, "the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord. "And his delight shall be in the fear of the Lord. "He shall not judge by what his eyes see "or decide by what his ears hear, "but with righteousness, he shall judge the poor "and decide with equity for the meek of the earth. "And he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, "and with the breath of his lips, he shall slay the wicked. "Righteousness shall be the girdle of his waist "and faithfulness the girdle of his loins. "The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. "Those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, "on them has light shined. "Thou has multiplied the nation. "Thou hast increased its joy. "They rejoice before thee as with joy at the harvest, "as men rejoice when they divide the spoil. "For the yoke of his burden and the staff for his shoulder, "the rod of his oppressor, "thou hast broken as on the day of Midian. "For to us, a child is born. "To us, a son is given. "And the government will be upon his shoulder, "and his name will be called Wonderful Counselor, "Mighty God, "Everlasting Father, "Prince of Peace. "Of the increase of his government and of peace, "there will be no end, "upon the throne of David and over his kingdom "to establish it "and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness "from this time forth and forevermore. "The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this." Thanks be to God.

- The angel Gabriel visits the blessed Virgin Mary. "In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God "to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, "to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph "of the house of David. "And the virgin's name was Mary. "And he came to her and said, "'Hail, O favored one, the Lord is with you.' "But she was greatly troubled at the saying "and considered in her mind "what sort of greeting this might be. "And the angel said unto her, "'Do not be afraid, Mary, "'for you have found favor with God. "'And behold, you will conceive in your womb "'and bear a son, "'and you shall call his name Jesus. "'He will be great "'and will be called the Son of the Most High. "'And the Lord God will give to him "'the throne of his father David, "'and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, "'and of his kingdom, there will be no end.' "And Mary said to the angel, "'How can this be since I have no husband?' "And the angel said to her, "'The Holy Spirit will come upon you, "'and the power of the most high will overshadow you. "'Therefore the child will be born. "'The child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God. "'And behold, your kinswoman Elizabeth "'in her old age has also conceived a son, "'and this is the sixth month with her "'who was called barren. "'For with God, nothing will be impossible.' "And Mary said, 'Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. "'Let it be to me according to your word.' "And the angel departed from her." Thanks be to God. (serene music) (singing in foreign language) 

- The blessed Virgin Mary rejoices before God. "In those days Mary arose and went with haste "into the hill country to a city of Judah, "and she entered the house of Zachariah "and greeted Elizabeth. "And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, "the babe leaped in her womb. "And Elizabeth was filled with Holy Spirit "and she exclaimed with a loud cry, "'Blessed are you among women, "'and blessed is the fruit of your womb! "'And why is this granted me, "'that the mother of my Lord should come to me? "'For behold, when the voice of your greeting "'came to my ears, "'the babe in my womb leaped for joy. "'And blessed is she who believed "'that there would be a fulfillment "'of what was spoken to her from the Lord.' "And Mary said, "'My soul magnifies the Lord, "'and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, "'for he has regarded "'the low estate of this handmaiden. "'For behold, henceforth, "'all generations will call me blessed. "'For he who is mighty has done great things for me, "'and holy is his name. "'And his mercy is on those who fear him "'from generation to generation. "'He has shown strength with his arm, "'and he has scattered the proud "'in the imagination of their hearts. "'And he has put down the mighty from their thrones "'and exalted those of low degree. "'He has filled the hungry with good things, "'and the rich he has sent empty away. "'He has helped his servant Israel, "'in remembrance of his mercy, "'and he spoke to our fathers, "'to Abraham and to his posterity forever.'" Thanks be to God.

- Saint Matthew tells of Christ's nativity. "Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. "When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, "before they came together, "she was found to be with child of the Holy Spirit. "And her husband Joseph, "being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, "resolved to divorce her quietly. "But as he considered this, "behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, "saying, 'Joseph, son of David, "'do not fear to take Mary your wife, "'for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. "'She will bear a son and you shall call his name Jesus, "'for he will save his people from their sins.' "All this took place "to fulfill what the Lord has spoken by the prophet. "'Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, "'and his name shall be called Emmanuel.' "When Joseph woke from sleep, "he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him. "He took his wife, "but knew her not until she had borne a son. "And he called his name Jesus." Thanks be to God.

- The shepherds go unto the manger. "And in that region, there were shepherds out in the field, "keeping watch over their flock by night. "And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, "and the glory of the Lord shone around them, "and they were filled with fear. "And the angel said to them, "'Be not afraid, "'for behold, I bring you good news "'of a great joy which will come to all the people. "'For to you is born this day in the city of David "'a Savior who is Christ the Lord. "'And this will be a sign for you. "'You will find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes "'and 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 among men with whom he is pleased.' "When the angels went away from them into heaven, "the shepherds said to one another, "'Let us go over to Bethlehem "'and see this thing that has happened, "'which the Lord has made known to us.' "And they went with haste "and found Mary and Joseph "and the babe lying in a manger. "And when they saw it, they made known the saying "which had been told them concerning this child. "And all who heard it "wondered at what the shepherds told them. "But Mary kept all these things, "pondering them in her heart. "And the shepherds returned, "glorifying and praising God "for all they had heard and seen "as it had been told them." Thanks be to God.

- The wise men are led by the star of Jesus. "Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea "in the days of Herod the king, "behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, "'Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? "'For we have seen his star in the east "'and have come to worship him.' "When Herod the king heard this, "he was troubled and all Jerusalem with him, "and assembling all the chief priests "and scribes of the people, "he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. "They told him, 'In Bethlehem of Judea, "'for so it is written by the prophet. "'And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah "'are by no means least among the rulers of Judah, "'for from you shall come a ruler "'who will govern my people Israel.' "Then Herod summoned the wise men secretly "and ascertained from them what time the star appeared. "And he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, "'Go and search diligently for the child, "'and when you have found him, "'bring me word that I too may come and worship him.' "When they had heard the king, they went their way. "And lo, the star which they had seen in the east "went before them "till it came to rest over the place where the child was. "When they saw the star, "they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. "And going into the house, "they saw the child with Mary his mother, "and they fell down and worshiped him. "Then, opening their treasures, "they offered him gifts, "gold and frankincense and myrrh." Thanks be to God.

- Saint John unfoldeth the great mystery of the incarnation. "In the beginning was the Word, "and the Word was with God, "and the Word was God. "He was in the beginning with God. "All things were made through him, "and without him was not anything made that was made. "In him was life, "and the life was the light of men. "The light shines in the darkness, "and the darkness has not overcome it. "There was a man sent from God, "whose name was John. "He came for testimony, to bear witness to the light, "that all might believe through him. "He was not the light, "but came to bear witness to the light. "The true light that enlightens every man "was coming into the world. "He was in the world, and the world was made through him, "yet the world knew him not. "He came to his own home, "and his own people received him not. "But to all who received him, "who believed in his name, "he gave power to become children of God, "who were born not of blood, "nor of the will of the flesh, "nor of the will of man, but of God. "And the Word became flesh "and dwelt among us, "full of grace and truth. "We have beheld his glory, "glory as of the only Son "from the Father." Thanks be to God.

- No wonder the shepherds returned glorifying and praising God for all they had seen and heard. No wonder Mary kept all these things, pondering them in her heart. No wonder the multitude of the angels sing, "Glory to God in the highest "and peace among men with whom he is pleased." No wonder. This now is Christmas day, the holiest of holy days, the holiest of holy moments for Christ is born. No wonder. For the Word has become flesh and dwells among us. For you see, Christmas happens, and it happens even now and it happens right here. Yes, joy to the world, the Lord is come.
