What Child Is This?
This, this is Christ the King,
whom shepherds guard and angels sing;
haste, haste to bring him laud,
the babe, the son of Mary. —What Child Is This, United Methodist Hymna, 219, Chorus, William C. Dix, 1837-1898
Confession of God as Creator and Divine King
1 The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.
The world and all its people belong to him.
2 For he laid the earth’s foundation on the seas
and built it on the ocean depths. —Psalm 24:1–2 (NLT)
Conditions for Worship and Fellowship
3 Who may climb the mountain of the Lord?
Who may stand in his holy place?
4 Only those whose hands and hearts are pure,
who do not worship idols
and never tell lies.
5 They will receive the Lord’s blessing
and have a right relationship with God their savior.
6 Such people may seek you
and worship in your presence, O God of Jacob. —Psalm 24:3–6 (NLT)

Open up, ancient doors,
and let the King of glory enter.

The Lord of Heaven’s Armies—
he is the King of glory. —Psalm 24:7-10 (NLT)
