When his mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found to be pregnant from the Holy Spirit. Her husband Joseph, being a righteous man and unwilling to expose her to public disgrace, planned to divorce her quietly. But just when he had resolved to do this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” All this took place to fulfill what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet: “Look, the virgin shall become pregnant and give birth to a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel,” which means, “God is with us.” When Joseph awoke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him; he took her as his wife but had no marital relations with her until she had given birth to a son, and he named him Jesus.” O Holy Night Hymn #160 Verse 1 O holy night the stars are brightly shining It is the night of the dear Savior's birth Long lay the world in sin and error pining Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn Chorus 1 Fall on your knees O hear the angel voices O night divine O night when Christ was born O night divine O night divine Verse 2 Led by the light of faith serenely beaming With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming Here came the wise men from Orient land The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger In all our trials born to be our Friend Chorus 2 He knows our need He guards us from all danger Behold your King Before Him lowly bend Behold your King Before Him lowly bend Chorus 3 Christ is the Lord O praise His name forever His power and glory Evermore proclaim His power and glory Evermore proclaim CCLI Song # 32015 CCLI License # 11210321 Silent Night Hymn #164 Verse 1 Silent night holy night All is calm all is bright Round yon virgin mother and Child Holy Infant so tender and mild Sleep in heavenly peace Sleep in heavenly peace Verse 2 Silent night holy night Shepherds quake at the sight Glories stream from heaven afar Heav'nly hosts sing alleluia Christ the Savior is born Christ the Savior is born Verse 3 Silent night holy night Son of God love's pure light Radiant beams from Thy holy face With the dawn of redeeming grace Jesus Lord at Thy birth Jesus Lord at Thy birth CCLI Song # 27862 CCLI License # 11210321 #‎FPCMonrovia #Christmaseve Christmas Day Service and New Year’s Day Service will not be posted, streaming nor recorded while our staff will be taking the day off for Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.
