| Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. … Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.1 – For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.2 |
| He … spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all.3 – Having yet … one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him.4 |
| Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!5 – Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.6 |
| My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior.7 |
