All is Calm, All is Bright is an anthem for Christmas and early Epiphany. Suggested corresponding lectionary readings include Psalm 97, Isaiah 62: 6-12, Matthew 2:1-12, Luke 2:1-20 and Titus 3:4-7. One basic homiletical theme is gathering before the newborn King in praise and reverence, offering gifts of humility, obedience and servitude.
