All as in the Office of our Saviour, except,
To Day, for us, our Lord was born; come let us Adore him.
1. O Joyful Tidings, worthy of an An∣gels Mouth! Behold, to us was born, this Day, a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. Alleluja.
2. Wonderful Signs, to seek the New∣born King of Heaven and Earth! you shall find him wrapt in Swadling-cloths, and laid in a Manger. Alleluja.
3. O blessed Harmony of the Celestial Quires! Glory be to God on high, on Earth Peace, Good Will towards Men.
The Shepherds came to Bethlehem with speed, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the Infant laid in a Manger.
V. This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoyce therein. Alleluja, Alleluja.
R. This is the day in which the Lord was made; come let us rejoyce. Alleluja, Alleluja.
O GOD, who every Year givest a fresh Birth to the Devotions of thy Church, by the welcome Festivity of our Saviour's Nativity! Grant us, we beseech thee, with such devout Affections, to en∣tertain this first humble rising of the Sun of Righteousness to us, as may better dis∣pose, and stronglier engage us to follow him through the whole painful course of his Life, which, like a Giant, he rejoyc'd to run, enlightning the World with thy Truth, and inflaming it with thy Love, till in the end we arrive at his eternal rest, through the same our Lord Jesus Christ thy Son, who with thee and the Holy
Ghost, liveth and reigneth, ever One God, World without End. Amen.
