10a Behold, I bring you good[glad] tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

O Jesu, born of Virgin pure,
Immortal glory be to Thee,
Whom with the Father we adore,
And Holy Ghost eternally.
Amen.
