Advent

Watch ye, for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cock&#8209;crowing, or in the morning; lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.

Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

The glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.

Christmas

Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.

Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
