Our King+ and SAVIOR
now draws nigh;
O Come,
Let us adore HIM+ !
+
Rejoice greatly,
O daughter of Zion!
Shout,
O daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, your KING+ cometh
unto thee;
HE+ is just,
and having salvation;
lowly,
and riding upon
as ass and upon a colt,
the foal of an ass.
Zechariah 9:9
Meditation (Collect)
O GOD, Who makest us glad with the yearly remembrance of the birth of Thine only-begotten SON+ JESUS CHRIST; Grant that as we joyfully receive HIM+ for our REDEEMER, so we may with sure confidence behold HIM+ when HE+ shall come to be our Judge, Who+ liveth and reigneth with THEE and Thy Blessed HOLY SPIRIT, one GOD, world without end. Amen.
O LORD, as we remember Thy Holy Humility THOU+ didst embrace in order to be robed in the mortal flesh of men, help us to embrace humility in a holy fashion in order to bear perfect witness unto THEE+.
For Thy+ Name's sake we pray, O Great REDEEMER.
