The Nativity of Our Lord

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 Angel of Mighty Counsel. (Ps) O sing unto the Lord a new song: for he hath done marvellous things.

ALMIGHTY God, who hast given us thy Only Begotten Son to take our nature upon him, and as at this time to be born of a pure Virgin: grant that we being regenerate, and made thy children by adoption and grace, may daily be renewed by thy Holy Spirit; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
