Give to the LORD the glory he deserves!
Bring your offering and come into his presence.
Worship the LORD in all his holy splendor.
Give to the LORD the glory he deserves!
Bring your offering and come into his presence.
Worship the LORD in all his holy splendor.
…Let all who seek God’s help be encouraged.
For the LORD hears the cries of the needy…
The people who walk in darkness
will see a great light.
For those who live in a land of deep darkness,
a light will shine.
For you will break the yoke of their slavery
and lift the heavy burden from their shoulders
You will break the oppressor’s rod…
For a child is born to us,
a son is given to us…
And he will be called:
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
…Jesus himself sent them out from east to west
with the sacred and unfailing message of salvation
that gives eternal life…
