    • Wednesday, December 17th “Dawning Light of Our Salvation” (CW 311 v. 3 and Refrain)
    • 3: Jesus, Lord, and mighty Savior, David’s son and yet his King, dawning light of our salvation, of your saving pow’r we sing! Stand, O lame, and dance, ye broken; know the Savior’s healing grace. Come, O deaf, and hear him singing; turn, O blind, behold his face!
    • Refrain: Ev’ry valley be exalted! Ev’ry mountain be made plain! Crooked ways repent and straighten; all creation bend in praise!
  • Friday, December 20th (Luke 2:15-16) When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Now let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.” So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger.
