Luke 1:30-31

    Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. Luke 1:35 The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.




A Christmas Song
    Joyfully upon the air
    There comes a sweet refrain,
    For carols bring the message
    That it’s Christ- mastime again.

    Music ringing round the town
    Proclaims the Savior’s birth,
    Filling hearts with hope anew
    Of peace to men on earth.

    Hearken to the angels’ song;
    Let earth receive her King;
    Filled with spirit, loud and strong.
    Lift up your voice and sing.

    Keep in your heart a Christmas song,
    And let the words convey
    The message of the carols
    To all men this Christmas day.
