Bible Reading
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall 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, on 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. (Isaiah 9:6-7 ESV)
Hymn ELH 99:1-2 The Advent of Our King
The advent of our King
Our prayers must now employ,
And we must hymns of welcome sing
In strains of holy joy.
The everlasting Son
Incarnate deigns to be;
Himself a servant’s form puts on
To set His servants free.
Prayer
O Jesus, Mighty God, You were born into this world to bring an everlasting peace through Your perfect life and innocent death. Prepare my heart through repentance and forgiveness to remember Your birth. Amen.
