"On This Day Earth Shall Ring"

On this day angels sing; 
        with their song earth shall ring, 
        praising Christ, heaven's King, 
        born on earth to save us; 
        peace and love he gave us.

On this night, we wait in anxious expectation of the One who comes to save us from our sins. On this night, we wait for the birth of the very Son of God come in the flesh. On this night, we anticipate the blessed Incarnation of our Lord and Savior. On this night, we hear the fulfillment of the ancient prophesies. On this night, we eagerly await the coming of the One who will rend the heavens and come down, the savior of the nations, the consolation of Israel and the joy of the world.
