-	The eyes of the Lord are always upon us.	0:09
	From the beginning of the year, even unto the end.	0:13
	The Lord is gracious unto them that wait for him,	0:19
	to the souls that seek him.	0:24
	From the rising of the sun,	0:27
	until the going down of the same.	0:29
	The Lord's name is to be praised.	0:32
	From the beginning of the year unto the end of the same.	0:37
	The Lord's name is to be praised.	0:43
	Therefore, let us sing to the praise and the glory of God,	0:48
	the Hymn 336. 336.	0:52
	(organ introduction to hymn)	1:00
	(congregation singing indistinct lyrics)	1:28
	Let us offer unto God our unison prayer of confession.	3:43
	Let us pray.	3:49
	Almighty God.	3:51
	Our Heavenly Father,	3:52
	who didst cause light to shine out of darkness	3:54
	in the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ,	3:58
	to take away the sins of the world,	4:01
	we humbly confess our transgressions,	4:04
	and implore thy forgiveness.	4:07
	We are ashamed of that within us,	4:10
	which make us neither for peace on earth,	4:12
	nor goodwill toward men.	4:15
	We confess to thee our broken vows,	4:18
	our duties left undone, and our proud imaginations.	4:21
	We pray thee to loose us from the yoke of our sins,	4:27
	to pardon our guilt and to cleanse our thoughts,	4:31
	that the spirit of Christ may be born anew within us.	4:35
	Amen.	4:40
	And let us read together the comfortable words	4:45
	of the assurance of sin forgiven,	4:48
	as they are found in the hymnal 654,	4:51
	"By grace you have been saved."	4:57
	Let the congregation remain seated.	5:01
	"By grace you have been saved.	5:06
	And you He made alive,	5:09
	when you were dead through the trespasses	5:12
	and sins in which you once walked,	5:14
	following the course of this world.	5:17
	But God, who is rich in mercy,	5:20
	out of the great love with which He loved us,	5:24
	even when we were dead through our trespasses,	5:27
	made us alive together with Christ,	5:30
	and raised us up with Him.	5:34
	And made us sit with Him	5:36
	in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,	5:38
	that in the coming ages	5:42
	He might show the immeasurable riches of His grace.	5:43
	For by grace you have been saved through faith,	5:48
	and this is not your own doing.	5:52
	It is the gift of God.	5:55
	Not because of works,	5:57
	lest any man should boast,	6:00
	for we are His workmanship	6:02
	created in Christ Jesus for good works,	6:05
	which God prepared beforehand	6:09
	that we should walk in them."	6:11
	Amen.	6:16
	Be of good courage.	6:17

-	Let us hear the word of God as it's recorded.	10:27
	First, in the book of the Prophet Isaiah.	10:32
	Three verses from chapter nine.	10:34
	"The people who walked in darkness, have seen a great light.	10:40
	Those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness,	10:45
	on them has light shined.	10:49
	For unto us a child is born.	10:53
	Unto us a Son is given.	10:58
	And the government will be upon his shoulder.	11:03
	And his name will be called Wonderful Counselor,	11:07
	Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.	11:12
	Of the increase of his government and of peace	11:19
	there will be no end,	11:23
	upon the throne of David and over his kingdom,	11:25
	to establish it and to uphold it with justice	11:29
	and with righteousness	11:33
	from this time forth and forevermore.	11:35
	The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this."	11:40
	And it in the Gospel according to St. Luke,	11:48
	the second chapter, verses eight to 14.	11:51
	"And in that region there were shepherds out in the field,	11:59
	keeping watch over their flock by night.	12:03
	And an angel of the Lord appeared to them,	12:07
	and the glory of the Lord shone around them,	12:09
	and they were filled with fear.	12:13
	And the angel said to them, "Be not afraid, for behold,	12:17
	I bring you good news of a great joy,	12:23
	which will come to all the people.	12:27
	For unto you is born this day in the city of David,	12:31
	a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.	12:35
	And this will be a sign for you:	12:41
	you will find a babe wrapped in swaddling cloths	12:44
	and lying in a manger."	12:49
	And suddenly there was with the angel	12:52
	a multitude of the heavenly host	12:54
	praising God and saying,	12:57
	"Glory to God in the highest,	12:59
	and on earth peace among men with whom he is pleased."	13:03
	Amen.	13:13
	And may God bless unto us the reading of his Holy Word.	13:14
	(congregation singing indistinct lyrics)	13:21
	The Lord be with you. Let us pray.	14:07
	Our God eternal and unchangeable,	14:21
	Alpha and Omega, Creator, Sustainer and Preserver of life,	14:25
	who will alone abide us,	14:33
	while all by creatures change and pass away,	14:35
	yet in whose appointment our life standeth,	14:40
	to Thee we bow our heads and lift our hearts.	14:46
	As we keep holy time together	14:51
	under the shadows of the closing year,	14:55
	we ask of Thee a Father's blessing	14:58
	and a Father's bounty.	15:01
	That we may face the new year with confidence	15:04
	in the knowledge that it is Thine and we are Thine.	15:08
	And to Thee we shall ascribe the glory.	15:15
	We praise Thee, O God, for great is Thy mercy toward us.	15:22
	Thou hast made us in Thine own image,	15:28
	And has given us minds to know Thee,	15:31
	hearts to love Thee, and wills to serve Thee	15:34
	In goodness art Thou exalted, O Lord.	15:40
	And Thy tender mercies are over all Thy works.	15:44
	We praise Thee for the kindness of others,	15:50
	whereby the path of life has been made more easy for us.	15:54
	For the blessedness of home,	16:00
	For the joy of friendship,	16:03
	and for the tenderness,	16:05
	which links us to our dear ones on earth and in heaven.	16:07
	Most of all do we magnify Thee for Thy greatest gift.	16:13
	And bless Thee that, in the fullness of time,	16:18
	Thou didst give the light of the knowledge of Thy glory,	16:21
	in the face of Jesus Christ.	16:26
	As our hearts turn to Bethlehem,	16:29
	and to the child in the manger,	16:32
	we adore Thee as the Giver of Thine unspeakable gift.	16:34
	And we bless Thee,	16:39
	for Thou has indeed visited and redeemed Thy children.	16:41
	Our Heavenly Father, who's Holy Child, Jesus,	16:50
	is born unto us,	16:53
	we entreat Thee that, in memory of His infancy	16:55
	and of the love He brought unto Thy little ones,	17:00
	all children may be precious in our eyes.	17:04
	Make us heedful and helpful in our dealings with them.	17:10
	Let Thy love be felt in every home.	17:16
	And let our gifts, one to another,	17:20
	be a reminder of Thee, who gavest all.	17:22
	Be with those who at this season are sick	17:29
	or sad or suffering,	17:32
	the poor, the lonely, the homeless, the distressed,	17:37
	and those who are mourning their dear ones.	17:45
	Especially, we commend to Thee our own hospital.	17:51
	Its doctors, its nurses, its aids, its patients,	17:57
	at this time of grave illness.	18:07
	Speak peace to troubled souls,	18:12
	and raise up all who are bowed down.	18:15
	Lord of All Worlds,	18:21
	before Whom stand the living and the departed,	18:22
	we remember before Thee, with thanksgiving,	18:25
	those who have passed within the vale.	18:28
	Especially those dear to us,	18:32
	whom, in the year now ending,	18:35
	though has called home to their rest.	18:37
	Grant that even here	18:43
	we may have true communion of spirit with them.	18:44
	And help us so to live by faith,	18:49
	that we at the last may be gathered with them,	18:52
	beyond the changes and chances of this fleeting world,	18:55
	into the Kingdom of Thy glory.	19:00
	Through Jesus Christ, our Lord,	19:05
	Who has taught us, when we pray, thus to say,	19:08
	"Our Father who art in heaven,	19:13
	hallowed be Thy name.	19:17
	Thy Kingdom come;	19:19
	Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.	19:21
	Give us this day our daily bread;	19:26
	and forgive us our trespasses,	19:29
	as we forgive those who trespass against us.	19:31
	And lead us not into temptation,	19:35
	but deliver us from evil.	19:38
	For Thine is the Kingdom	19:40
	and the Power and the Glory forever."	19:42
	Amen.	19:47
-	[Different Speaker] Let us pray.	20:01
	O God, may the words of my mouth,	20:04
	and the meditations of our hearts,	20:08
	be acceptable in Thy sight,	20:11
	O Lord, our Strength and our Redeemer.	20:14
	Amen.	20:18
	"Unto you." You've heard the words a hundred times,	20:23
	a thousand times, as I have.	20:29
	Heard them as part of the Christmas narrative,	20:32
	of sermons, of the soprano recitative in the "Messiah".	20:36
	"And the angel said unto them, 'Fear not.	20:42
	For behold I bring you good tidings of great joy,	20:47
	which will be to all people.	20:51
	For unto you is born this day, in the city of David,	20:54
	a Savior, which is Christ, the Lord."	20:58
	Quite suddenly one day, however,	21:03
	I realized that these familiar words were out of place.	21:06
	They were spoken to the wrong people.	21:11
	They were not addressed to Joseph and Mary,	21:14
	the parents of the Child, about Whom the angel spoke,	21:17
	but to a group of shepherds,	21:21
	who had nothing to do with the Baby born in their midst.	21:23
	Why say, "Unto you", to the shepherds?	21:28
	Was it because they were relatives of Joseph,	21:33
	and thus able to feel that the baby belonged	21:37
	to their own family?	21:39
	Yes, this would be quite possible	21:41
	in a tightly-knit community,	21:44
	with which Joseph did have family ties;	21:47
	even though for many years	21:51
	he had been living in a distant city.	21:53
	But there's nothing else to show	21:56
	that any of the shepherds	21:57
	had close blood relationship to Joseph,	21:59
	or to the promised Child.	22:03
	Was it because they were Bethlehemites?	22:06
	This is much more likely,	22:10
	for that community had a strong sense of history,	22:12
	and reflected with some pride on their associations	22:18
	with King David of long ago.	22:21
	If what the vision proclaimed were true,	22:25
	then the birth of a new leader in Bethlehem	22:29
	would certainly be something to add to civic pride.	22:32
	Or did the angels say, "Unto you is born this day	22:38
	in the city of David, a Savior,"	22:43
	to this handful of shepherds,	22:45
	simply because they were Jews,	22:47
	representatives of the many thousands	22:50
	who were looking and longing for a Messiah, a Savior;	22:53
	not only from the Romans, but from sin and frustration?	22:58
	Maybe this, at last, was the Good News,	23:04
	for which they had been waiting.	23:07
	And it came to them as members of the Jewish people.	23:10
	In that case, this was indeed a red letter day for them.	23:14
	Yet, the context makes it clear	23:20
	that this intimate manner of speaking	23:22
	arose from none of these reasons,	23:25
	but was used simply because they were ordinary people.	23:28
	The message, "Unto you," came to them as human beings.	23:33
	They were the chosen representatives	23:39
	of the whole human race.	23:41
	"I bring you good tidings, which shall be to all people."	23:45
	There is a sense in which the basic events	23:54
	of birth, marriage, death,	23:57
	in some mysterious way,	24:01
	bring all people together as one family.	24:03
	In these events, all are one.	24:07
	Barriers and shynesses are forgotten;	24:11
	differences of race and color and culture and creed.	24:15
	Particularly is this the case, when a baby is born.	24:20
	All the world loves a baby.	24:25
	Yet for the shepherds, this was not mere sentimentality.	24:28
	These men were rough fellows;	24:33
	ready to haggle in the marketplace,	24:36
	to tangle in a brawl, when they had had too much to drink,	24:39
	ready to fight grimly for their right,	24:43
	if anyone encroached on their territory.	24:46
	But they were also men	24:50
	with a warm tenderness for their own children,	24:51
	and protective toward all children;	24:55
	ready to lay down their lives even for their sheep.	24:59
	They were indeed in their changing moods,	25:03
	their strange blend of good and evil,	25:07
	their love of the earth,	25:10
	and their occasional glimpses of heaven, ordinary people.	25:12
	This is what makes their singling out so important.	25:19
	Indeed, you might say that they were not singled out,	25:22
	they were picked blindfold with a pin.	25:26
	The symbol of sacrifice and courage in war,	25:30
	is an unknown soldier.	25:35
	An unknown shepherd is the symbol of God's offer	25:39
	for human need.	25:45
	If indeed that promise,	25:49
	given by the Herald of God to the shepherds,	25:50
	came to them as representatives of the human race,	25:53
	then exactly the same promise would be held out	25:58
	to all people.	26:01
	This Baby born in Bethlehem belonged to them.	26:04
	"Unto you", you nameless shepherds,	26:09
	is born a Child, Who is a Savior.	26:12
	"Unto you", their wives and children and sweethearts	26:16
	in Bethlehem.	26:21
	"Unto you", you innkeeper,	26:23
	who showed the weary mother into the stable;	26:25
	whether in pity, or because of your callous indifference,	26:29
	which was only moved by money.	26:33
	"Unto you", you Eastern astrologers, is a child born;	26:38
	unto you and your people.	26:42
	"Unto you", Herod, fearful of a rival,	26:44
	and unto your Royal Court.	26:47
	"Unto you", baby John,	26:49
	son of aged Zacharias and mystified Elizabeth.	26:52
	"Unto you", Simon Bar-Jonah,	26:57
	playing by the Lakeside of Capernaum.	27:01
	"Unto you", young Pontius Pilate, learning to be dignified	27:04
	in the presence of the household slaves.	27:08
	"Unto you", Caesar Augustus,	27:12
	hoping for an improved financial report from your census.	27:15
	"Unto you", Tiberius, austere student at Rhodes.	27:21
	"Unto you", Drusus, subduing barbarian tribes	27:25
	in Northern Europe.	27:28
	"Unto you", you lake-dwellers at Glastonbury,	27:30
	you skin-clad inhabitants of caves	27:33
	and hillside camps in ancient Britannia.	27:35
	"Unto you", you Belgi, invading their island	27:39
	with your iron swords, and bringing your Mediterranean plow	27:42
	to revolutionize English agriculture.	27:45
	"Unto you", you Hohokam Indians, playing with rubber balls,	27:49
	etching your pictures on seashells, and building canals,	27:54
	dams, to irrigate your land in Arizona.	27:58
	"Unto you", you Indians of Ohio and Kentucky	28:02
	and Western Virginia;	28:06
	simpler in your culture,	28:07
	yet erecting mounds filled with grave offerings	28:09
	for your revered dead.	28:12
	"Unto you", you nameless people of 2000 years ago	28:14
	in every continent.	28:20
	Most of you linked, with the thinnest of family ties,	28:23
	to every American now living.	28:25
	"Unto you" was a Child born.	28:28
	A Child who was the Son of God, the Savior of all mankind,	28:32
	Nor was the promise limited in time, any more than in space.	28:40
	Not only to the shepherds around Bethlehem 2000 years ago,	28:47
	but to the shepherd boy, David,	28:51
	who roamed those same hills a thousand years earlier,	28:54
	and to his descendants,	28:58
	who have watched their flock around Bethlehem	29:00
	through each succeeding century,	29:02
	was the Child given.	29:05
	Given, likewise, to those who today build a new Israel	29:08
	with spade and sometimes rifle,	29:14
	replacing the shepherd's rod and staff.	29:18
	Not only to the Magi from Iran,	29:22
	but to Abraham, another wise man	29:25
	who made pilgrimage from the East to Palestine.	29:28
	And to the moon worshipers whom he left behind,	29:32
	and to all men, wise men of today,	29:36
	in east and west and north and south,	29:41
	was the Child promised.	29:45
	To the leaders of every nation Jesus is born.	29:47
	As he was born to Herod and to Augustus Caesar long ago.	29:52
	To you, Queen Elizabeth II.	29:57
	To you, Mao Tse-Tung.	30:01
	To you Lyndon Baines Johnson,	30:04
	and to Richard Nixon, breathing hotly down your neck.	30:08
	"Unto you", Mr. Carl Sagan, whether you wish it	30:12
	or acknowledge it or not.	30:17
	Unto you is the Christ Child born.	30:19
	"Unto you", Captain Frank Borman and your colleagues,	30:23
	James Lovell and William Anders,	30:26
	just returned from the moon,	30:28
	wiser in the law of the heavens	30:30
	than all the astrologers of old,	30:32
	unto you is a Savior come.	30:35
	"Unto you", Commander Bucher,	30:39
	and to all the members of the crew of your lost Pueblo,	30:41
	and to all their parents and wives and children,	30:45
	unto you a Child is born.	30:48
	"Unto you", you leaders of the Black Solidarity committee.	30:51
	"Unto you", you members of the DARM Merchants Association.	30:56
	"Unto you", you leaders of the KU Klux Klan.	31:00
	"Unto you", tiny baby, just born in Duke Hospital.	31:05
	"Unto you", Marie Hill, awaiting execution	31:10
	for a brutal murder.	31:15
	"Unto you."	31:17
	"I bring you good tidings of great joy,	31:19
	which shall be to all people."	31:23
	"Unto you."	31:27
	Well, we've heard the Good News. All of us.	31:31
	So what? What do we do now?	31:36
	Having heard the news, do we switch to another channel?	31:41
	One which interests us rather more? Surely not.	31:46
	If we are responsible and responsive beings,	31:52
	we do three things.	31:57
	First, we try to find out if the news is true.	32:00
	The shepherds went to Bethlehem	32:05
	to see this thing, which had come to pass,	32:07
	which the Lord had made known unto them.	32:10
	In our turn,	32:13
	we study the beginnings of the Christian religion;	32:14
	the worldwide impact of the Christian faith	32:18
	during the centuries,	32:21
	its effect on those whom we know and respect.	32:23
	We make our own experiments	32:28
	in prayerful communication with God,	32:30
	our own ventures into the unknown,	32:33
	guided only by the flimsy chart	32:37
	of an experimental belief in Christ.	32:39
	And hopefully we find, as millions have found before us,	32:44
	that it works. Christianity is true.	32:49
	Second, we thank God for the fulfillment of his prophecy.	32:55
	The shepherds returned,	33:01
	glorifying and praising God for all	33:03
	the things that they had seen and heard,	33:06
	as it was told unto them.	33:08
	We in our turn read the old story,	33:11
	look back wishfully on memories of childhood,	33:15
	try to escape for a time	33:19
	from the tinsel and glitter of material prosperity,	33:21
	stretch out a helping hand	33:25
	to the multitudes far less fortunate than we.	33:27
	In our better moments, we are joyful,	33:32
	with the confidence of those who believe in a saving God.	33:35
	We realize where true joy comes from.	33:40
	We try to ensure both the extension of our own joy to others	33:44
	and its continuance into the future.	33:49
	We wish each other a Merry Christmas and a happy new year.	33:53
	But if these highest hopes and hearty greetings	34:00
	are not to fade in the thin and frosty air,	34:05
	we must do a third thing:	34:09
	We must adjust our lives to new circumstances.	34:11
	Something has happened,	34:18
	which should change our thoughts and feelings,	34:20
	change our homes,	34:23
	change our relationships with other people, with God.	34:24
	The shepherds couldn't keep what had happened to themselves,	34:29
	but made known abroad the saying	34:33
	which was told them, concerning this Child.	34:36
	A child in the home makes a big difference.	34:41
	Especially the first child, but each later one, too.	34:44
	Even when a child who belongs to everybody	34:50
	comes into our home, it should make a big difference.	34:54
	And those of us who yet have no children of our own,	34:59
	or whose children have long grown up,	35:04
	or who can never hope to have children,	35:07
	even we have a Child born unto us this Christmas.	35:11
	Surely we cannot any longer neglect	35:18
	the one who has been entrusted to us.	35:22
	No longer put off making the sacrifices that are necessary,	35:25
	that he may grow in wisdom and in stature	35:29
	and in favor with God and man.	35:35
	He relies upon us.	35:37
	And more than we can imagine,	35:41
	depends upon our being faithful to our trust.	35:42
	"Unto you is born," said the angel.	35:49
	Christians through the long centuries, however,	35:54
	have linked with these the words of the Prophet Isaiah,	35:57
	with a change of the second person to the first person:	36:01
	"Unto us a Child is born. Unto us a Son is given."	36:06
	And many generations of Christians	36:13
	have enthusiastically affirmed that,	36:15
	in personal life, in national life, in international life,	36:18
	all that God-inspired Isaiah said about the coming One,	36:22
	was true. Gloriously true.	36:25
	"The government shall be upon His shoulder	36:28
	and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor,	36:32
	The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father,	36:38
	The Prince of Peace."	36:40
	Let us hear the testimony of one of these later Christians,	36:43
	who insisted that "Unto you" meant "Unto us".	36:47
	Charles Wesley wrote a poem based on the nativity story.	36:53
	And especially upon the angel's message	36:58
	in Luke chapter two verse 11.	36:59
	"Unto you is born this day".	37:02
	It was found in manuscript after his death	37:06
	and first published in a supplement	37:09
	to the Methodist hymn book in 1830.	37:10
	He speaks as a shepherd who has heard the universal message.	37:13
	And also as a Christian,	37:18
	who gladly welcomes the Child and Savior	37:21
	to his own heart and home.	37:25
	"To us a child of royal birth,	37:28
	Heir of the promises, is given;	37:32
	the Invisible appears on earth,	37:36
	The Son of Man, the God of heaven.	37:40
	A Savior born, in love supreme	37:45
	He comes our fallen souls to raise;	37:48
	He comes his people to redeem	37:52
	with all his plenitude of grace.	37:56
	The Christ by raptured seers foretold,	38:00
	Filled with the eternal Spirit's power,	38:04
	Prophet, and Priest, and King behold,	38:08
	And Lord of all the worlds adore.	38:12
	The Lord of hosts,	38:17
	the God most high,	38:18
	Who quits his throne on earth to live,	38:20
	With joy we welcome from the sky,	38:25
	With faith into our hearts receive."	38:29
	Let us, also, this day return to our homes,	38:35
	glorifying and praising God	38:42
	for all that we have seen and heard.	38:44
	Let us resolve	38:48
	that the promised Savior is indeed to be our Lord,	38:49
	the Lord of our jobs, of our recreation, of our hearts.	38:55
	Of every molecule, every moment, every memory, every motive.	39:02
	Let us give Him the first place in our household,	39:09
	and make all the adjustments necessary	39:14
	for living with a Holy Child in the center of our lives.	39:17
	Then indeed it will be a happy new year for each of us	39:23
	and for many, many more.	39:29
	Amen.	39:33
	Let us pray.	39:36
	O Almighty God, who by the birth of Thy Holy Child, Jesus,	39:40
	hast given us a great light to dawn upon our darkness,	39:45
	grant, we pray Thee, that in His light, we may see light	39:50
	to the end of our days.	39:55
	Bestow upon us, we beseech Thee,	39:58
	that most excellent Christmas Gift of charity to all men,	40:01
	that so the likeness of the Son may be formed in us,	40:06
	and grant that Thy disciples, in this and every land,	40:11
	may so lift Him up before men,	40:15
	that they may see His glory,	40:18
	and be drawn unto Him, whom to know, is life eternal.	40:21
	Amen.	40:28

	(congregation singing indistinct lyrics)	40:57
	(solemn organ music)	42:28
	(soprano sings "Panis Angelicus" by César Franck in English)	44:21
	(organ plays introduction)	48:36
	("Praise God, from whom all blessings flow" by congregation)	48:42
	♪ Praise God, from whom all blessings flow ♪	49:05
	♪ Praise Him, all creatures here below ♪	49:12
	♪ Praise Him above, ye heav'nly host ♪	49:18
	♪ Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost ♪	49:25
	♪ Amen ♪	49:34
	All things come of the, oh God.	49:42
	Our silver and our gold, and of Thine own do we give Thee,	49:46
	as the symbol of ourselves.	49:51
	In the name and for the sake of Jesus Christ, our Lord.	49:55
-	Now unto God's gracious mercy and protection	50:04
	do I convict you.	50:10
	May the blessing of God come upon you abundantly.	50:12
	May it keep you strong and tranquil	50:17
	in the truth of His promises through Jesus Christ, our Lord.	50:21
