DAILY READINGS
This weekend’s scripture: Luke 2:1-20
FIELD NOTES
TAKE A MOMENT: Read through the hymn, paying particular attention to the “call” of the refrain. It is our call to worship today. Now listen to the video.
Angels from the realms of glory
Wing your flight over all the earth
Ye, who sang Creation’s story
Now proclaim Messiah’s birth
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Shepherds in the fields abiding
Watching over your flocks by night
God with man is now residing
Yonder shines the Infant light
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Sages leave your contemplations
Brighter visions beam afar
Seek the great Desire of Nations
Ye have seen His natal star
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Saints before the altar bending
Watching long in hope and fear
Suddenly the Lord, descending,
In His temple shall appear
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
