"And the angel said unto them, Fear not; for behold, I bring you good
tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born
this day in the City of David, a Saviour which is Christ the Lord."

"It is written in the book of the prophet Esaias, All flesh shall see
the salvation of God."

"Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which
is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of
things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and
that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory
of God the Father."

"Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify Thy name? For thou only
art holy; for all nations shall come and worship before thee."

"All Israel shall be saved."

"And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth and under the
earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I
saying, Blessing and honor and glory and power, be unto Him that sitteth
on the throne, and unto the Lamb forever and ever."

such glorious hopes as being extended into the next age. Such a prospect
begins to appear to be truly worthy of God. And surely, the news of such
an enlarged scheme of salvation is the most joyful that ever fell on
