Mike and Molly and Baby at Advent

December 14

Luke 2:1–6

Christmas is a time of visiting. Relatives and friends come to our house and we go to theirs. Mary and Joseph were visiting in Bethlehem. How sad Christmas would be if we couldn't share it with other people, especially people whom we love very much.

Tune: Angels We Have Heard on High

Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ, the Lord, the new-born King.
Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gloria in excelsis Deo.

See him in a manger laid
Whom the angels praise above;
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
While we raise our hearts in love.
Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
