Your loving devotion, O Lord, reaches to the heavens, Your faithfulness to the clouds. Psalm 36:5
But from everlasting to everlasting the loving devotion of the Lord extends to those who fear Him, and His righteousness to their children’s children. Psalm 103:17
It is because of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Thy faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23
“New every morning is the love our wakening and uprising prove; through sleep and darkness safely brought, restored to life and power and thought. New mercies, each returning day, hover around us while we pray; new perils past, new sins forgiven, new thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven” Thank you, Lord!
“What Child is this, who, laid to rest, on Mary’s lap is sleeping? Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, while shepherds watch are keeping? This, this is Christ, the King, whom shepherds guard and angels sing. Haste, haste to bring Him laud, the Babe, the Son of Mary!”
Give the king Your judgments, O God, and Your righteousness to the king’s Son. He will judge Your people with righteousness, and Your poor with justice. The mountains will bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness. Psalm 72
“Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills, and everywhere; go, tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born.”
“The shepherds feared and trembled, when lo, above the earth, rang out the angel chorus, that hailed our Savior’s birth. Go, tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born.”
Now before faith came, we were imprisoned and guarded under the law until faith would be revealed. Therefore, the law was our disciplinarian until Christ came, so that we might be justified by faith. Galatians 3
“But now that faith has come, we are no longer subject to a disciplinarian. But when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son born of a woman, born under law, in order to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as children. And because we are children, God sent the spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father, so that we are no longer slaves but children, and if we are his children, then we are also joint heirs through God.”
Worship the Lord O Jerusalem, praise your God, O Zion, for he has strengthened the bars of your gates and he has blessed your children within you. He has established peace on your borders and satisfies you with the finest wheat. Psalm 147
“He sends out his commands to the earth and his word runs very swiftly, he gives snow like wool and he scatters hoarfrost like ashes. He scatters his hail like breadcrumbs. Who can stand before his cold?”
“For as the earth brings forth its shoots, and as a garden causes what is sown in it to spring up, so the Lord God will cause righteousness to spring up before all the nations.”
“I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my whole being shall exult in my God, for as he has clothed me with garments of salvation, he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.”
Sing to the Lord a new song, sing to the Lord, all he whole earth, sing to the Lord and bless his holy name, proclaim the good news of his salvation. Psalm 96
“Declare his glory among the nations, and his wonders among all peoples. For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised. He is to be feared than all Gods. Let the heavens rejoice and let the earth be glad, Let the sea thunder and all that is in it. Let the field be joyful and all that is therein.”
“The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light, those who lived in a land of deep darkness, on them light has shined.”
“Oh God, you have caused this holy nigh to shine with the brightness of the true Light. Grant that we who have known the mystery of that Light on earth, will also enjoy him perfectly in heaven.”
“The light shines in the darknessand the darkness did not overcome it. He was in the world and the world came into being through him. He came to his own, and his own people did not accept him.”
“But to all who received him, to them he gave power to become children of God, who were born not of blood or the will of the flesh, or of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son, full of grace and truth.”
