O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining, 
It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth. 
Long lay the world in sin and error pining. 
Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth. 
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices, 
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn. 
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices! 
O night divine, the night when Christ was born; 
O night, O Holy Night , O night divine! 
O night, O Holy Night , O night divine! 

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming, 
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand. 
O'er the world a star is sweetly gleaming, 
Now come the wisemen from out of the Orient land. 
The King of kings lay thus lowly manger; 
In all our trials born to be our friends. 
He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger, 
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend! 
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend! 

Truly He taught us to love one another, 
His law is love and His gospel is peace. 
Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother. 
And in his name all oppression shall cease. 
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we, 
With all our hearts we praise His holy name. 
Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we, 
His power and glory ever more proclaim! 
His power and glory ever more proclaim!


馬太福音 2

博士朝拜

1 當希律王的時候,耶穌生在猶太伯利恆。有幾個博士從東方來到耶路撒冷,說: 2 「那生下來作猶太人之王的在哪裏?我們在東方看見他的星,特來拜他。」 3 希律王聽見了,就心裏不安;耶路撒冷合城的人也都不安。 4 他就召齊了祭司長和民間的文士,問他們說:「基督當生在何處?」 5 他們回答說:「在猶太伯利恆。因為有先知記著,說:

6  猶大地的伯利恆啊, 你在猶大諸城中並不是最小的; 因為將來有一位君王要從你那裏出來, 牧養我以色列民。」

7 當下,希律暗暗地召了博士來,細問那星是甚麼時候出現的,8 就差他們往伯利恆去,說:「你們去仔細尋訪那小孩子,尋到了就來報信,我也好去拜他。」 9 他們聽見王的話就去了。在東方所看見的那星忽然在他們前頭行,直行到小孩子的地方,就在上頭停住了。 10 他們看見那星,就大大地歡喜; 11 進了房子,看見小孩子和他母親馬利亞,就俯伏拜那小孩子,揭開寶盒,拿黃金、乳香、沒藥為禮物獻給他。 12 博士因為在夢中被主指示不要回去見希律,就從別的路回本地去了。

逃往埃及

13 他們去後,有主的使者向約瑟夢中顯現,說:「起來!帶著小孩子同他母親逃往埃及,住在那裏,等我吩咐你;因為希律必尋找小孩子,要除滅他。」 14 約瑟就起來,夜間帶著小孩子和他母親往埃及去, 15 住在那裏,直到希律死了。這是要應驗主藉先知所說的話,說:「我從埃及召出我的兒子來。」
