| - | Beloved in Christ. | 41:57 |
| At this Christmastime, let it be our care and delight | 42:01 | |
| to hear again the message of the angels | 42:06 | |
| and in heart and mind to go even unto Bethlehem | 42:09 | |
| to see this thing which has come to pass, | 42:13 | |
| and the babe lying in a manger. | 42:16 | |
| Therefore, let us read in Mark in Holy Scripture | 42:20 | |
| the tale of the loving purposes of God, | 42:24 | |
| from the first days of our disobedience | 42:27 | |
| unto His glorious redemption brought us by | 42:30 | |
| His holy child. | 42:33 | |
| But first, let us pray for the needs of the whole world, | 42:35 | |
| for peace on earth and goodwill among all His people. | 42:40 | |
| For unity and brotherhood within the church He came to build | 42:44 | |
| and especially in this, our diocese. | 42:49 | |
| And because this would rejoice His heart, | 42:53 | |
| let us remember in His name, the poor and helpless, | 42:56 | |
| the cold, the hungry, | 43:02 | |
| and the oppressed, | 43:05 | |
| the sick and them that mourn, | 43:07 | |
| the lonely and the unloved, | 43:10 | |
| the aged and the little children. | 43:13 | |
| All those who know not the Lord Jesus or who love Him not, | 43:17 | |
| or who by sin have grieved His heart of love. | 43:21 | |
| Lastly, let us remember before God all those | 43:26 | |
| who rejoice with us, | 43:30 | |
| but upon another shore and in a greater light, | 43:32 | |
| that multitude which no man can number, | 43:35 | |
| whose hope was in the Word made flesh | 43:39 | |
| and with whom in the Lord Jesus we are one forevermore. | 43:41 | |
| These prayers and praises let us humbly offer up | 43:47 | |
| to the throne of Heaven | 43:52 | |
| in the words which Christ Himself | 43:54 | |
| hath taught us. | 43:58 | |
| Our Father, which art in Heaven, | 44:00 | |
| hallowed it be thy name. | 44:04 | |
| Thy kingdom come, | 44:06 | |
| thy will be done | 44:08 | |
| in earth as it is in Heaven. | 44:10 | |
| Give us this day our daily bread | 44:12 | |
| and forgive us our trespasses | 44:15 | |
| as we forgive them that trespass against us. | 44:18 | |
| And lead us not into temptation | 44:22 | |
| but deliver us from evil. | 44:25 | |
| For thine is the kingdom, | 44:27 | |
| the power and the glory. | 44:29 | |
| Forever and ever. | 44:31 | |

| out of the stock of Jessie. | 3:44 | |
| And a branch out of his root shall bear fruit. | 3:47 | |
| And the spirit of Jehova shall rest upon him. | 3:51 | |
| The spirit of wisdom and understanding. | 3:54 | |
| The spirit of counsel and might. | 3:58 | |
| The spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Jehova. | 4:01 | |

| And he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes. | 4:09 | |
| Neither decide after the hearing of his ears, | 4:13 | |
| but with righteousness shall he judge the poor | 4:16 | |
| and decide with equity for the meek of the earth. | 4:20 | |
| And he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth. | 4:24 | |
| And with the breath of his lips, shall he slay the wicked. | 4:28 | |
| And righteousness shall be the girdle of his waist. | 4:33 | |
| And faithfulness, the girdle of his loins. | 4:37 | |

| For unto us a child is born. | 5:18 | |
| Unto us a son is given. | 5:23 | |

| - | The angel Gabriel visits the blessed virgin Mary. | 9:05 |
| And in the sixth month the angel, Gabriel, | 9:11 | |
| was sent from God into a city of Galilee named Nazareth, | 9:14 | |
| to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph | 9:19 | |
| of the house of David. | 9:24 | |
| And the virgin's name was Mary. | 9:27 | |
| And the angel came to her and said, | 9:31 | |
| hail, thou art highly favored. | 9:34 | |
| The Lord is with thee. | 9:37 | |
| Blessed are thou among women. | 9:40 | |
| And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying | 9:43 | |
| and cast in her mind what manner of salutation | 9:47 | |
| this should be. | 9:50 | |
| And the angel said unto her, | 9:52 | |
| fear not, Mary, for thou hast found favor with God. | 9:54 | |
| And behold, thou shalt conceive in they womb | 10:00 | |
| and bring forth a son and shall call his name Jesus. | 10:03 | |
| He shall be great and shall be called | 10:08 | |
| the son of the highest. | 10:10 | |
| And the Lord God shall give unto him the throne | 10:12 | |
| of his father, David. | 10:14 | |
| And he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever. | 10:16 | |
| And of his kingdom, there shall be no end. | 10:19 | |
| Then Mary said unto the angel, | 10:25 | |
| how shall this be, seeing I know not a man? | 10:28 | |
| And the angel answered and said unto her, | 10:32 | |
| the Holy Ghost shall come upon thee. | 10:35 | |
| And the power of the highest shall overshadow thee. | 10:38 | |
| Therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee | 10:41 | |
| shall be called son of God. | 10:45 | |
| And Mary said, behold the handmaid of the Lord. | 10:50 | |
| Be it unto me according to thy word. | 10:55 | |
| And the angel departed from her. | 10:59 | |
| Thanks be to God. | 11:02 | |
| (soft music) | 11:26 | |
| (choir singing foreign language) | 11:39 | |
| - | The blessed virgin Mary rejoices before God. | 16:17 |
| And Mary arose in those days and went into | 16:23 | |
| the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah. | 16:27 | |
| And entered into the house of Zacharias | 16:32 | |
| and saluted Elizabeth. | 16:34 | |
| And it came to pass that when Elizabeth | 16:37 | |
| heard this salutation of Mary, | 16:39 | |
| the babe leaped in her womb. | 16:42 | |
| And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost. | 16:45 | |
| And she spake out with a loud voice and said, | 16:49 | |
| blessed art thou among women. | 16:52 | |
| And blessed is the fruit of thy womb. | 16:55 | |
| And when says this to me that the mother | 16:58 | |
| of my Lord should come to me? | 17:01 | |
| For lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation | 17:03 | |
| sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. | 17:08 | |
| And blessed is she that believed, | 17:14 | |
| for there shall be a performance of those things | 17:16 | |
| which were told her from the Lord. | 17:19 | |
| And Mary said, my soul doth magnify the Lord. | 17:22 | |
| And my spirit hath rejoiced in God, my savior. | 17:29 | |
| For He hath regarded the low estate of His handmaiden. | 17:32 | |
| For behold, from henceforth all generations | 17:37 | |
| shall call me blessed. | 17:41 | |
| For He that is mighty hath done to me great things, | 17:44 | |
| and holy is His name. | 17:48 | |
| And His mercy is on them that fear Him | 17:51 | |
| from generation to generation. | 17:54 | |
| He hath showed strength with His arm. | 17:57 | |
| He hath scattered the proud in the imagination | 18:00 | |
| of their hearts. | 18:03 | |
| He hath put down the mighty from their seats, | 18:04 | |
| and exalted them of low degree. | 18:07 | |
| He hath filled the hungry with good things. | 18:12 | |
| And the rich, he hath sent empty away. | 18:16 | |
| He hath hope in his servant, Israel, | 18:21 | |
| in remembrance of His mercy as He spake | 18:24 | |
| to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed forever. | 18:27 | |
| Thanks be to God. | 18:33 | |

| - | Saint Matthew tells of Christ's nativity. | 20:45 |
| Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise, | 20:50 | |
| when as his mother, Mary, was espoused to Joseph | 20:55 | |
| before they came together | 20:57 | |
| she was found to be with child of the Holy Ghost. | 21:01 | |
| Then Joseph, her husband, being a just man | 21:05 | |
| and not willing to make her a public example | 21:10 | |
| was minded to put her away primally. | 21:12 | |
| But while he thought on these things, | 21:16 | |
| behold the angel of the Lord appeared unto him | 21:18 | |
| in a dream saying, Joseph, thou son of David, | 21:22 | |
| fear not to take under thee Mary thy wife. | 21:26 | |
| For that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. | 21:30 | |
| And she shall bring forth a son. | 21:36 | |
| And thou shalt call his name Jesus. | 21:39 | |
| For He shall save His people from their sins. | 21:43 | |
| Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled, | 21:47 | |
| which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet. | 21:51 | |
| Saying behold a virgin shall be with child | 21:54 | |
| and shall bring forth a son. | 21:59 | |
| And they shall call His name Emmanuel. | 22:02 | |
| Which being interpreted is God with us. | 22:06 | |
| Thanks be to God. | 22:12 | |
| (choir singing) | 22:35 | |
| - | The shepherds go unto the manger. | 24:35 |
| And there were, in the same country, | 24:40 | |
| shepherds abiding in the field, | 24:43 | |
| keeping watch over their flock by night. | 24:46 | |
| And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them | 24:49 | |
| and the glory of the Lord shown round about them. | 24:54 | |
| And they were sore afraid. | 24:58 | |
| And the angel said unto them, | 25:01 | |
| fear not for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy | 25:03 | |
| which shall be to all people. | 25:09 | |
| For unto you is born this day in the city of David, | 25:12 | |
| a savior which is Christ the Lord. | 25:16 | |
| And this shall be a sign unto you. | 25:21 | |
| Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, | 25:23 | |
| lying in a manger. | 25:28 | |
| And suddenly, there was with the angel | 25:31 | |
| a multitude of the heavenly host, | 25:34 | |
| praising God and saying, glory to God in the highest. | 25:36 | |
| And on earth, peace, good will toward men. | 25:41 | |
| And it came to pass as the angels were gone | 25:46 | |
| away from them into heaven, the shepherds said | 25:49 | |
| one to another, let us now go even under Bethlehem | 25:52 | |
| and see this thing which has come to pass, | 25:57 | |
| which the Lord hath made known to us. | 26:00 | |
| And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph | 26:02 | |
| and the babe lying in a manger. | 26:08 | |
| Thanks be to God. | 26:12 | |

| in the days of Herod the king, | 30:17 | |
| behold there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem | 30:20 | |
| saying, where is he that is born king of the Jews? | 30:25 | |
| For we have seen his star in the east | 30:30 | |
| and have come to worship him. | 30:33 | |
| When Herod the king had heard these things, | 30:35 | |
| he was troubled and all Jerusalem with him. | 30:39 | |
| And when he had gathered all the chief priests | 30:43 | |
| and scribes of the people together, | 30:46 | |
| he demanded of them where the Christ should be born. | 30:48 | |
| And they said unto him, in Bethlehem of Judea, | 30:53 | |
| for thus it is written by the prophet. | 30:58 | |
| And thou Bethlehem in the land of Judea | 31:01 | |
| are not the least among the princes of Judah. | 31:04 | |
| For out of these shall come a governor | 31:07 | |
| that shall rule my people, Israel. | 31:10 | |
| Then Herod, when he had primally called the wise men, | 31:14 | |
| inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. | 31:18 | |
| And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, | 31:22 | |
| go and search diligently for the young child. | 31:25 | |
| And when you have found him, bring me word again | 31:29 | |
| that I may come and worship him also. | 31:32 | |
| When they had heard the king, they departed. | 31:35 | |
| And lo, the star which they saw in the east | 31:39 | |
| went before them. | 31:42 | |
| 'Til it came and stood over where the young child was. | 31:44 | |
| When they saw the star, they rejoiced | 31:49 | |
| with exceeding great joy. | 31:52 | |
| And when they were coming to the house, | 31:55 | |
| they saw the young child with Mary, his mother. | 31:57 | |
| And fell down and worshiped him. | 32:01 | |
| And when they had opened their treasures, | 32:05 | |
| they presented him with gifts. | 32:07 | |
| Gold and frankincense and myrrh. | 32:11 | |
| Thanks be to God. | 32:14 | |

| - | Saint John unfolds the great mystery of the incarnation. | 37:05 |
| In the beginning was the Word. | 37:12 | |
| And the Word was with God, | 37:16 | |
| and the Word was God. | 37:19 | |
| The same was in the beginning with God. | 37:22 | |
| All things were made by Him. | 37:26 | |
| And without Him, was not anything made that was made. | 37:29 | |
| In Him was life. | 37:34 | |
| And the life was the light of men. | 37:37 | |
| And the light shineth in darkness, | 37:41 | |
| and the darkness comprehended it, not. | 37:44 | |
| There was a man sent from God whose name was John. | 37:48 | |
| The same came for a witness to bear witness | 37:53 | |
| of the light that all men through him might believe. | 37:57 | |
| He was not that light. | 38:03 | |
| But was sent to bear witness of that light. | 38:05 | |
| That was the true light, which lighteth every man | 38:09 | |
| that cometh into the world. | 38:13 | |
| He was in the world and the world was made by Him, | 38:16 | |
| and the world knew Him not. | 38:21 | |
| He came unto his own. | 38:24 | |
| And his own received him not. | 38:27 | |
| But as many as received him to them gave he power | 38:30 | |
| to become the sons of God, | 38:36 | |
| even to them that believe on his name. | 38:39 | |
| Which were born not of blood, nor of the will | 38:42 | |
| of the flesh, nor of the will of man. | 38:46 | |
| But of God. | 38:50 | |
| And the Word was made flesh. | 38:53 | |
| And dwelt among us. | 38:56 | |
| And we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only | 38:58 | |
| begotten of the Father. | 39:04 | |
| Full of grace and truth. | 39:06 | |
