◄ Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift! ►

Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands! Serve the Lord with gladness; come before His presence with singing … Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. § For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

He … did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all. § Therefore still having one son, his beloved, he also sent him.

Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! § Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name!

My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.
