Emmanuel, God with us, you are our heart’s delight.
Because of your amazing love,
You came to earth, you became one of us,
You reached out to us while we were lost,
You rescued us from death, you brought us to salvation.
Your love is so high and wide and deep that it, and only it, could reach this suffering world.
You came to bring an end to our sadness, to dry our tears, to still our fears, to give us hope.
In deep gratitude we praise you.
We worship you for dwelling among us. Amen. —Worship Sourcebook p. 477

Scripture Reading
1 In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2 (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3 And everyone went to their own town to register.
4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them. —Luke 2:1-7
