Christmas or at a service of evening prayer.
Anthem text
Lord God, you now have set your servant
free
to go in peace as promised in your word;
my eyes have seen the Savior, Christ the Lord,
prepared by you for all the world to see,
to shine on nations trapped in darkest night,
the glory of your people, and their light.
-Luke 2:29-32,
