LSB 382 We Praise You, Jesus, At Your Birth

LSB 382 We Praise You, Jesus, At Your Birth




6      In poverty He came to earth
        Showing mercy by His birth;
        He makes us rich in heav'nly ways
        As we, like angels, sing His praise.
        Alleluia!

7 All this for us our God has done
        Granting love through His own Son.
        Therefore, all Christendom, rejoice
        And sing His praise with endless voice.
        Alleluia!

Luke 2:8-14
And in the same 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, "Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto 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 baby wrapped in swaddling cloths 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 those with whom he is pleased!" (Luk 2:8-14 ESV)


John 1:1-18
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
 2 He was in the beginning with God.
 3 All things were made through 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 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
 6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
 7 He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him.
 8 He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.
 9 The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world.
 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him.
 11 He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him.
 12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God,
 13 who 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 became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
 15 (John bore witness about him, and cried out, "This was he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.'")
 16 And from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.
 17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
 18 No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known. (ESV)

2 Corinthians 8:9
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich. (ESV)

Galatians 4:3-9
 3 we also, when we were children, were enslaved to the elementary principles of the world.
 4 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law,
 5 to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.
 6 And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!"
 7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.
 8 Formerly, when you did not know God, you were enslaved to those that by nature are not gods.
 9 But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless elementary principles of the world, whose slaves you want to be once more? (ESV)


Phi 3:7-11 
7 But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ.
 8 Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ
 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith--
 10 that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,
 11 that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead. (ESV)
