    1. It helps us to understand the Bible's promises about Jesus
    2. It sharpens our perspective on Christmas
    3. For you and me this week?

Veiled in flesh, the Godhead see. Hail the incarnate Deity.
Pleased as man with us to dwell, Jesus our Immanuel.
Hark, the herald angels sing “Glory to the newborn King!”

Who is He in yonder stall, at whose feet the shepherds fall?
‘Tis the Lord, O wonderous story, ‘Tis the Lord, the King of Glory!
At His feet we humbly fall, crown Him, crown Him, Lord of all.

Yea, Lord we greet Thee, born this happy morning,
Jesus, to Thee be all glory given.
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing,
O come let us adore Him – Christ the Lord.
