1 Dec Is the Universe Evolved by Atomic Force? Sunday Scriptural selection 1. John 1:1-15,29, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we

2 beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me. 2. John 8:31 (to 1st,), 32 ye, Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him,...ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. Benediction Luke 2:29-32, English Standard Version, adapted: Lord, now you are letting your servant[s] depart in peace, according to your word; for [our] eyes have seen your salvation that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel. Hymns

3 1. Hymn. 170:1-2 Let every creature hail the morn On which the holy child was born, And know, through God's exceeding grace, Release from things of time and place. I listen, from no mortal tongue, To hear the song the angels sung, And wait within myself to know The Christmas lilies bud and blow. The outward symbols disappear From him whose inward sight is clear, And small must be the choice of days To him who fills them all with praise. Keep while ye need it, brothers mine, With honest zeal your Christmas sign, But judge not him who every morn Feels in his heart the Lord Christ born. 2. Hymn. 236:1-4 O peace of the world, O hope in each breast, O Bethlehem star that ages have blest, A day of fresh promise breaks over the land, Gaunt warfare is doomed, and God's kingdom at hand! From cannon and sword shape tillers of soil, No more let dire hate man's spirit despoil, Let Truth be proclaimed, let God's love be retold, That men of good will may their brethren uphold. As stars in their courses never contend, As blossoms their hues in harmony blend, As bird voices mingle in joyful refrain,

4 So God's loving children in concord remain. Our God is one Mind, the Mind we adore; Ineffable joy His love doth outpour; Let nations be one in a union of love, God's bountiful peace, all earth's treasures above. 3. Hymn. 310:1-2 Glorious is the Christ, our king, Truth has come again to earth, Through the lowly Saviour's birth. Men and angels, anthems raise; Hymns of joy and shouts of praise. Hear th' angelic song again: Peace on earth, good will to men. Glorious is the Christ, our king. When the stars together sang, Then the Truth triumphant rang: Be there light; And there was light. Gone are chaos, fear and night; Truth hath rolled the mists away; Dawns on earth harmonious day. Hear th' angelic song again: Peace on earth, good will to men. Glorious is the Christ, our king.
