DECEMBER 20
Angels We Have Heard On High
Verse 1
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o’er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echo back their joyous strains
Refrain
Gloria in excelsis Deo, gloria in excelsis Deo
Verse 2
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
Say what may the tidings be
Which inspire your heav’nly song
Verse 3
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee
Christ, the Lord, the newborn King

Lyssna, lyssna: hör du änglasången?
Lyssna, lyssna: “Ära vare Gud!”

Till människor ett gott behag! (ett gott behag!)
Ära vare Gud i höjden,
Människor ett gott behag!”

Frid på jorden, frid på jorden!

Frid uppå jord, (frid på jord,)
Frid uppå jord, (frid på jord,)
Människor ett gott behag, ett gott behag!”

SCRIPTURE | Luke 1:39-45
39 At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea,40 where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth. 41 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. 42 In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! 43 But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44 As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.45 Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!”
Hark The Herald Angels Sing
Verse 1
Hark! the herald angels sing, Glory to the newborn King
Peace on earth, and mercy mild – God and sinners reconciled
Joyful, all ye nations, rise, join the triumph of the skies
With angelic host proclaim, “Christ is born in Bethlehem!”
Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!”
Verse 2
Christ, by highest heav’n adored, Christ, the everlasting Lord
Late in time behold him come, offspring of a Virgin’s womb
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see: hail th’incarnate Deity
Born like us, with us to dwell, Jesus, our Emmanuel
Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!”
Verse 3
Hail the heav’nborn Prince of Peace, Hail the Sun of Righteousness
Light and life to all he brings, ris’n with healing in his wings
Mild he lays his glory by, born that we no more may die
Born to raise us from the earth, born to give us second birth
Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!”
