(Leader reads parts in bold congregation non-bold)

Out of the depths I cry to you, LORD;

Lord, hear my voice.

Let your ears be attentive
to my cry for mercy.

If you, LORD, kept a record of sins,

Lord, who could stand?

But with you there is forgiveness,

so that we can, with reverence, serve you.

I wait for the LORD, my whole being waits,

and in his word I put my hope.

I wait for the Lord

more than watchmen wait for the morning,
more than watchmen wait for the morning.

Israel, put your hope in the LORD,

for with the LORD is unfailing love
and with him is full redemption.

He himself will redeem Israel

from all their sins.

God rest you merry, gentlemen,

when we were gone astray.

Refrain:
O tidings of comfort and joy,
comfort and joy;
O tidings of comfort and joy.

2 From God our heav'nly Father

a blessed angel came
and unto certain shepherds
brought tidings of the same;
how that in Bethlehem was born
the Son of God by name. [Refrain]

3 "Fear not," then said the angel,

"Let nothing you affright;
this day is born a Savior
of a pure virgin bright,
to free all those who trust in Him
from Satan's pow'r and might." [Refrain]
