Christmas Eve
Isaiah 9:2-7
The people
that walked in darkness have seen a great light they that dwell in the land of
the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
3 Thou hast
multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy they joy before thee according
to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
4 For thou
hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of
his oppressor, as in the day of Midian.
5 For every
battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but
this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.
6 For unto us
a child is born, unto us a son is given and the government shall be upon his
shoulder and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The
everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7 Of the
increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of
David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and
with justice from henceforth even for ever.
The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
O sing unto
the LORD a new song sing unto the LORD, all the earth.
2 Sing unto
the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.
3 Declare his
glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.
4 For the LORD
is great, and greatly to be praised he is to be feared above all gods.
5 For all the
gods of the nations are idols but the LORD made the heavens.
6 Honour and
majesty are before him strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7 Give unto
the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength.
8 Give unto
the LORD the glory due unto his name bring an offering, and come into his
courts.
9 O worship
the LORD in the beauty of holiness fear before him, all the earth.
10 Say among
the heathen that the LORD reigneth the world also shall be established that it
shall not be moved he shall judge the people righteously.
11 Let the
heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness
thereof.
12 Let the
field be joyful, and all that is therein then shall all the trees of the wood
rejoice
13 Before the
LORD for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth he shall judge the world
with righteousness, and the people with his truth.
Psalm 96
For the grace
of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
12 Teaching us
that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly,
righteously, and godly, in this present world;
13 Looking for
that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour
Jesus Christ;
14 Who gave
himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto
himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
Titus 2:11-14
And it came to
pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all
the world should be taxed.
2 (And this
taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
3 And all went
to be taxed, every one into his own city.
4 And Joseph
also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the
city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and
lineage of David)
5 To be taxed
with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
6 And so it
was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be
delivered.
7 And she
brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid
him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 And there
were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over
their flock by night.
9 And, lo, the
angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about
them and they were sore afraid.
10 And the
angel said unto them, Fear not for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy,
which shall be to all people.
11 For unto
you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12 And this
shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes,
lying in a manger.
13 And
suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising
God, and saying,
14 Glory to
God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.Luke 2:1-14

Morning
Eucharist
And it came to
pass, when the king sat in his house, and the LORD had given him rest round
about from all his enemies;
2 That the
king said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but
the ark of God dwelleth within curtains.
3 And Nathan
said to the king, Go, do all that is in thine heart; for the LORD is with thee.
4 And it came
to pass that night, that the word of the LORD came unto Nathan, saying,
5 Go and tell
my servant David, Thus saith the LORD, Shalt thou build me an house for me to
dwell in?
2 Samuel 7:1-5
And there were
in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their
flock by night.
9 And, lo, the
angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about
them and they were sore afraid.
10 And the
angel said unto them, Fear not for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great
joy, which shall be to all people.
11 For unto
you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12 And this
shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes,
lying in a manger.
13 And
suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising
God, and saying,
14 Glory to
God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
15 And it came
to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said
one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is
come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
16 And they
came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
2 Samuel
7:8-16
For I have
said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish
in the very heavens.
Psalm 89:2,
19, 27
Then Paul
stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear
God, give audience.
17 The God of
this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt
as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought he them out of
it.
18 And about
the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness.
19 And when he
had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to
them by lot.
20 And after
that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years,
until Samuel the prophet.
21 And
afterward they desired a king and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man
of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.
22 And when he
had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he
gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine
own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.
23 Of this
man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour,
Jesus
24 When John
had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the
people of Israel.
25 And as John
fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But,
behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to
loose.
26 Men and
brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth
God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.
Acts 13:16-26
And his father
Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
68 Blessed be
the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
69 And hath
raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
70 As he spake
by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began
71 That we
should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
72 To perform
the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;
73 The oath
which he sware to our father Abraham,
74 That he
would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies
might serve him without fear,
75 In holiness
and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
76 And thou,
child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest for thou shalt go before the
face of the Lord to prepare his ways;
Luke 1:67-79
Morning Prayer
My heart is
inditing a good matter I speak of the things which I have made touching the
king my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
2 Thou art
fairer than the children of men grace is poured into thy lips therefore God
hath blessed thee for ever.
3 Gird thy
sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.
4 And in thy
majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and
thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
5 Thine arrows
are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under
thee.
6 Thy throne,
O God, is for ever and ever the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.
7 Thou lovest
righteousness, and hatest wickedness therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee
with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
8 All thy
garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces,
whereby they have made thee glad.
9 Kings'
daughters were among thy honourable women upon thy right hand did stand the
queen in gold of Ophir.
10 Hearken, O
daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people,
and thy father's house;
11 So shall
the king greatly desire thy beauty for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.
12 And the
daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people
shall intreat thy favour.
13 The king's
daughter is all glorious within her clothing is of wrought gold.
14 She shall
be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework the virgins her companions
that follow her shall be brought unto thee.
15 With
gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought they shall enter into the king's
palace.
16 Instead of
thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the
earth.
17 I will make
thy name to be remembered in all generations therefore shall the people praise
thee for ever and ever.
Psalm 45
Praise ye the
LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD,
praise the name of the LORD.
2 Blessed be
the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.
3 From the
rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD's name is to be
praised.
4 The LORD is
high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like
unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high,
6 Who humbleth
himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!
7 He raiseth
up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;
8 That he may
set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.
9 He maketh
the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.
Psalm 113
Woe unto you,
scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets,
and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
30 And say, If
we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with
them in the blood of the prophets.
31 Wherefore
ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed
the prophets.
32 Fill ye up
then the measure of your fathers.
33 Ye
serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
34 Wherefore,
behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes and some of them ye
shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues,
and persecute them from city to city
35 That upon
you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of
righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew
between the temple and the altar.
36 Verily I
say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
37 O
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which
are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even
as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
38 Behold,
your house is left unto you desolate.
39 For I say
unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that
cometh in the name of the Lord.
Matthew 23:29-39
Evening Prayer
LORD, thou
hast been favourable unto thy land thou hast brought back the captivity of
Jacob.
2 Thou hast
forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.
3 Thou hast
taken away all thy wrath thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine
anger.
4 Turn us, O
God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.
5 Wilt thou be
angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw
out thine anger to all generations?
6 Wilt thou
not revive us again that thy people may rejoice in thee?
7 Shew us thy
mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.
8 I will hear
what God the LORD will speak for he will speak peace unto his people, and to
his saints but let them not turn again to folly.
9 Surely his
salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
10 Mercy and
truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
11 Truth shall
spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
12 Yea, the
LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.
13
Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.
Psalm 85
The Revelation
of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things
which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto
his servant John
2 Who bare
record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all
things that he saw.
3 Blessed is
he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those
things which are written therein for the time is at hand.
4 John to the
seven churches which are in Asia Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which
is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are
before his throne;
5 And from
Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead,
and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us
from our sins in his own blood,
6 And hath
made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion
for ever and ever. Amen.
7 Behold, he
cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced
him and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
8 I am Alpha
and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which
was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

8 The LORD
hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no
more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies; and the sons of the stranger

that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and they that have
brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.

justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of
eternal life.

the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
4 Make a
joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth make a loud noise, and rejoice, and

roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
8 Let the
floods clap their hands let the hills be joyful together
9 Before the
LORD; for he cometh to judge the earth with righteousness shall he judge the
world, and the people with equity.
Psalm 98
God, who at
sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the
prophets,
2 Hath in
these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all
things, by whom also he made the worlds;
3 Who being
the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding
all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins,
sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
4 Being made
so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more
excellent name than they.
5 For unto
which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I
begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a
Son?
6 And again,
when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the
angels of God worship him.
7 And of the
angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of
fire.
8 But unto the
Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever a sceptre of
righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
9 Thou hast
loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath
anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
10 And, Thou,
Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens
are the works of thine hands
11 They shall
perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;
12 And as a
vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed but thou art the
same, and thy years shall not fail.
Hebrews 1:1-12
In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was
in the beginning with God.
3 All things were
made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was
life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the
light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 There was a
man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 The same
came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him
might believe.
8 He was not
that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the
true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10 He was in
the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came
unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many
as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them
that believe on his name
13 Which were
born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but
of God.
14 And the
Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as
of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
John 1:1-14
For, behold, I
create new heavens and a new earth and the former shall not be remembered, nor
come into mind.
18 But be ye
glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create for, behold, I create
Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.
19 And I will rejoice
in Jerusalem, and joy in my people and the voice of weeping shall be no more
heard in her, nor the voice of crying.
20 There shall
be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his
days for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an
hundred years old shall be accursed.
21 And they
shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat
the fruit of them.
22 They shall
not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat for as
the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy
the work of their hands.
23 They shall
not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the
blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them.
24 And it
shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are
yet speaking, I will hear.
25 The wolf
and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock
and dust shall be the serpent's meat.
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.
Isaiah
65:17-25
Let this mind
be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus
6 Who, being
in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God
7 But made
himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made
in the likeness of men
8 And being
found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death,
even the death of the cross.
9 Wherefore
God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every
name
10 That at the
name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth,
and things under the earth;
11 And that
every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the
Father.
Philippians
2:5-11
O LORD our
Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
2 Out of the
mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine
enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I
consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which
thou hast ordained;
4 What is man,
that thou art mindful of him? and the
son of man, that thou visitest him?
5 For thou
hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory
and honour.
6 Thou madest
him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things
under his feet
7 All sheep
and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
8 The fowl of
the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of
the seas.
9 O LORD our
Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
Psalm 8
For Zion's
sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until
the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as
a lamp that burneth.
2 And the
Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory and thou shalt be
called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.
3 Thou shalt
also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the
hand of thy God.
4 Thou shalt
no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate
but thou shalt be called Hephzi-bah, and thy land Beulah for the LORD
delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.
5 For as a
young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee and as the bridegroom
rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.
Isaiah 62:1-5
Now the birth
of Jesus Christ was on this wise When as his mother Mary was espoused to
Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
19 Then Joseph
her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example,
was minded to put her away privily.
20 But while
he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in
a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy
wife for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
21 And she
shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS for he shall save
his people from their sins.
22 Now all
this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the
prophet, saying,
23 Behold, a
virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call
his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
24 Then Joseph
being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took
unto him his wife
25 And knew
her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son and he called his name
JESUS.
Matthew
1:18-25
The LORD said
unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy
footstool.
2 The LORD
shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion rule thou in the midst of thine
enemies.
3 Thy people
shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the
womb of the morning thou hast the dew of thy youth.
4 The LORD
hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of
Melchizedek.
5 The Lord at
thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.
6 He shall
judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he
shall wound the heads over many countries.
7 He shall
drink of the brook in the way therefore shall he lift up the head.
Psalm 110
O praise the
LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.
2 For his
merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for
ever. Praise ye the LORD.
Psalm 117
We all sinned n deserve GOD’s judgment. But our loving FATHER, GOD sent HIS only begotten SON to satisfy that judgment for those who believe in HIM. JESUS, our LORD who lived a sinless life, loves us so much that HE died for our sins, taking the punishment that we deserve, was buries n rose from the dead according to the Holy Bible. If you truly believe n trust in your heart, receiving JESUS alone as your SAVIOUR, declaring (by Baptism) JESUS is The LORD n SAVIOUR, you will be SAVED from the judgment n spend ETERNITY with GOD in HEAVEN….
In The name of our LORD JESUS CHRIST.. Amen
