For Mattins in Christmas Day

 Christmas Invitatory.

BEHOLD a virgin shall conceive and bear a son: * and shall call his Name Immanuel.

Unto us a child is born: * unto us a son is given.

In this was manifested the love of God towards us: * because that God sent his Only Begotten Son into the world that we might live through him.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ: * who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, * world without end. Amen.
