"Exultate, Jubilate"
Scripture
Mosiah 3:3-5 (condensed) I am come to declare unto you glad tidings of great joy. For the Lord hath heard thy prayers, and hath sent me to declare unto thee that thou mayest rejoice; and that thou mayest declare unto thy people, that they may also be filled with joy. For behold, the time cometh, and is not far distant, that with power, the Lord Omnipotent who reigneth, who was, and is from all eternity to all eternity, shall come down from heaven among the children of men, and shall dwell in a tabernacle of clay.
"Rejoice, resound with joy, Oh you blessed souls, singing sweet songs.
In response to your singing let the heavens sing forth with me."

Isaiah 7:14 - Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
1 Nephi 11:13-31 (condensed) And it came to pass that I looked and beheld the great city of Jerusalem, and also other cities. And I beheld the city of Nazareth; and in the city of Nazareth I beheld a virgin, most beautiful and fair above all other virgins. Behold, the virgin whom thou seest is the mother of the Son of God, after the manner of the flesh. And it came to pass that after she had been carried away in the Spirit I looked and beheld the virgin again, bearing a child in her arms. And the angel said unto me: Behold the Lamb of God, yea, even the Son of the Eternal Father!
Mosiah 3:8 And he shall be called Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the father of heaven and earth, the Creator of all things from the beginning; and his mother shall be called Mary.
(Translation of verse 1)
A rose has sprung up,
from a tender root,
As the old ones sang to us,
Its strain came from Jesse
And it has brought forth a floweret
In the middle of the cold winter
Well at half the night.
(English version of verse 2)
Isaiah 'twas foretold it,
The Rose I have in mind,
With Mary we behold it,
The virgin mother kind;
To show God's love aright,
She bore to men a Savior,
When half spent was the night.

And it shall come to pass that ye shall all be amazed, and wonder, insomuch that ye shall fall to the earth. And it shall come to pass that whosoever shall believe on the Son of God, the same shall have everlasting life.

On Christmas Night" aka "The Sussex Carol"
Scriptures
Isaiah 9:2,6 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined. For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 53:4-5 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Lyrics:
On Christmas night all Christians sing to hear the news the angels bring; news of great joy, news of great mirth, news of our merciful King’s birth.

(I don't sing this verse, but I'm posting it since it goes along with the 2nd scripture quoted above)
Then why should we on earth be sad, since our Redeemer made us glad? when from our sin He set us free, all for to gain our liberty?
Then why should we on earth be sad, since our Redeemer made us glad? when from our sin He set us free, all for to gain our liberty?
When sin departs before Thy grace, then life and health come in its place; angels and men with joy may sing, all for to see the newborn King.
All out of darkness we have light, which made the angels sing this night; “Glory to God and peace to men, now and forever more. Amen.”
