* HYMN O Come, All Ye Faithful | No. 234; vs. 1, 2, 3 & 6
I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, Who did through his son come down on Christmas Day. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only son, our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, Announced by the angels, worshipped by the shepherds, And adored by the wisemen. He lived to suffer, die and raise again that we might be free from sin, From death, and the power of evil. I believe in the Holy Spirit, who has brought me to faith in the Christ of Christmas. Through this Spirit I am ever led to lay before the feet of Christ The treasures of my love, and live under him as my King. I look to the manger as the place where God has fulfilled his Christmas love. I will follow his star and seek to serve him as my Lord, Both now and forever more. Amen.
