Eternal God, who made this most holy night to shine with the brightness of thy one true light: bring us, who have known the revelation of that light on earth, to see the radiance of thy heavenly glory; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

This said service is held at the High Altar directly following the 4 p.m. Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols.
Pledging parishioners have received an invitation to register for early entry to the Nave for the 4pm and 10:30pm Christmas Eve services. The Fifth Avenue doors will open to the general public one hour prior to each service.
