You crown the year with Your goodness,
And Your paths drip with abundance. ~ Psalm 65:11
9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
~Luke 2:9-11, King James Version (KJV)
