  33. Confession of Sin Lord God, Creator of all things, we thank You for the gift You have given to us in Your Son, Jesus Christ. We thank You for the miracle of His birth, the hope with which we live, and the promise that He will return again to claim us as His own.

  34. Confession of Sin We thank You for entering our world, taking upon Yourself our humanity, and dying the death we deserve. We confess before You our sin and unfaithfulness - our wrongful decisions, poor judgments, and improper conduct.

  35. Confession of Sin We ask for Your mercy and grace, to wash us clean and make us right with You. All this we pray in the name of the Bethlehem Child, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

  37. Your Little Ones (LBW 52) 2. With songs we hasten you to greet, And kiss the ground before your feet. Oh, blessed hour, oh, sweetest night, That gave you birth, our soul’s… de…light.

  38. Your Little Ones (LBW 52) 3. Oh, draw us wholly to you, Lord, And to us all your grace accord; True faith and love to us impart, That we may hold you in…our…heart.

  39. Your Little Ones (LBW 52) 4. Until at last we too proclaim, With all your saints, your glorious name; In paradise our songs renew, And praise you as the an…gels…do.
