And the Word became flesh

'And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.' (John 1:18)

He has come- praise the Lord! We join with the chorus "O Come O Come Emmanuel and ransom captive Israel, that mourns in lonely exile here, until the Son of God appear.  Rejoice, Rejoice, Emmanuel shall come to thee O Israel".
