Narration begins:
In the days of Caeser Augustus, a decreewent out that all the world should be taxed.
12
14 16
And Joseph went up from Galilee to Bethlehem to be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, who was great withchild. And so it was that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
18
20 22
And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a mangerbecause there was no room for them in the inn. Thus in humble circumstance was born the Son of God...
24
26 28
...and the promise of the Lord was fulfilled, which he spoke through his prophet, saying, "A virgin shall be
with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel..."

"Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man." Then Jesus began his ministry among men.
He taught in the synagogues, by the seashore, on the mountainside.

Those who heard him marvelled at his teachings, for he taught them, not after the manner of the scribes, butas one having authority. And multitudes followed him, eager for his words.

And adding to their great sorrow, he added, "This night, all ye shall be offended because of me." But Peter answered him, saying...
6 8
"Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will not I... Though I should die with thee, yet I will not deny thee."
And so said all the disciples.
Even as his following had grown, so also had grown the hatred of the chief priests, the scribes and the pharisees.Seeing his mighty works among the people, their hatred was kindled to rage, and more desperately they sought his life.
As the passover approached, he entered the gates of Jerusalem amid a joyful multitude who shouted, "Hosanna to the son ofDavid; blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord" He entered the temple, and was greeted there with shouts of praise.
And all these things further fueled the anger of his enemies.
When the eve of the feast had come, Jesus sat with his disciples for the last time in mortality. He spoke plainly of hisimpending death, and of betrayal by one of his own. (Music begins.)

His disciples sought to defend their Lord against the angry crowd, but Jesus forbade them and as he was bound andtaken, they all forsook him and fled. (Music begins. Resume narration at measure 6)
And as he prayed, his sweat became as great drops of blood falling to the ground. Even as he arose from this agony,a great multitude approached, armed with swords and staves.
Removing himself from them a little way, Jesus knelt in prayer, saying, "Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup fromme; nevertheless, not my will but thine be done."
Together they came to a garden called Gethsemane. Often had they come to this place, finding there peace andsolitude. But this night was not to be as other times.

Led thence to a mockery of trials, he endured scorn and scourging in silence.As Isaiah had foretold, he was "brought as a lamb to the slaughter...

...and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb," so he opened not his mouth. They placed on his head a crown of thorns,mocked, him, smote him, and led him out to crucify him.

As the eve of the Sabbath approached, his body was removed from the cross, annointed in haste and laid in a borrowed tomb. Agreat stone was set before the door to seal it, and darkness fell upon Judea. (Music begins. Resume narration at measure 17)

Narration begins:
Jesus Christ was risen. He cameamong his disciples...
8 10 12
...and tarried with them many days. Then as they watched, he was taken up into heaven, and a cloud received him out oftheir sight. But as they gazed in longing after him, two men stood by...
14 16 18
...clothed in white, who spoke to them saying, "Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus,which is taken up from you... shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go..."

And now, as on the joyous night of his birth, the world waits once again for the coming of Jesus Christ, the Son of
God.
