Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, Good-will towards men▪ Behold, the Saviour of the world is this day speaking unto you, ye Congregation of the Lord▪ Arrayed in His white garments, He looks through' the Windows of His bright Ivory Palace, and •tereth an Invitation to you, which Blessed are your ears that hear this day.
