THANKSGIVING and honor and glory be unto Thee, Almighty God, who for us men and for our salvation didst give thine only-begotten Son to be born in great humility of the Virgin Mary, His Mother. Accept and Bless to our use this Christmas Creche and Tree, that it may set before us the exceeding love of our Saviour, and bring us with the shepherds and kings to pay Him our true devotion; to whom, with Thee and the Holy Ghost be all praise and worship, world without end. AMEN.
