“Christians awake, salute the happy morn, whereon the Savior of the world was born.”

“Rise to adore the mystery of love, which host of angels chanted from above, with them the joyful tidings first begun, of God Incarnate and the Virgin’s Son. Then, to the watchful shepherds it was told, who heard the angelic herald’s voice, ‘Behold, I bring good tidings of a Savior’s birth to you and the nations on the earth’, this day God fulfilled His promised word, this day is born a Savior, Christ the Lord.”
