Entrance Hymn: O Come All Ye Faithful
O Come all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant, O come ye, o come ye to Bethlehem; Come and behold him, born the King of angels;
(Refrain) O Come, let us adore him, o come let us adore him, o come let us adore him, Christ the Lord.
Sing choirs of angels, sing in exultation, sing all ye citizens of heav’n above! Glory to God, all glory in the highest. (To Refrain)
Yea, Lord we greet thee, born this happy morning, Jesus, to thee be all glory giv’n'; Word of the father, now in flesh appearing. (To Refrain)
Offertory Hymn: Angels We Have Heard on High
Angels we have heard on high Sweetly singing o're the plains And the mountains in reply echo back their joyous strains.
Gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria in excelsis Deo
Shepherds why this Jubilee? Why your joyous strains prolong? Say what may the tidings be Which inspire your heavenly song.
Gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria in excelsis Deo
Come to Bethlehem and see him whose birth the angels sing; Come adore on bended knee Christ the Lord the newborn King.
Gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria in excelsis Deo
See him in a manger laid Whom the angels praise above; Mary, Joseph, lend your aid While we raise our hearts in love.
Gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria in excelsis
Communion Hymn: O Little Town of Bethlehem
O little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie. Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by; Yet in thy dark streets shineth the everlasting light: The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.
For Christ is born of Mary, and gathered all above, while mortals sleep, the angels keep their watch of wondering love. O morning stars, together proclaim the holy birth! And praises sing to God the King, and peace to all on earth.
How silently, how silently, the wondrous gift is given. So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of his heaven. No ear may hear his coming, but in this world of sin, where meek souls will receive him, still the dear Christ enters in.
O holy Child of Bethlehem! Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin and enter in; be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels the great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, our Lord Emmanuel!
2nd Communion Hymn: Away in a Manger
Away in a manger no crib for a bed, The little lord Jesus laid down his sweet head. The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay, The little lord Jesus asleep on the hay.
The cattle are lowing the baby awakes, But little lord Jesus no crying he makes. I love you lord Jesus; look down from the sky, And stay by my side until morning is nigh.
Be near me lord Jesus I ask you to stay, Close by me for ever, and love me, I pray. Bless all the dear children in thy tender care, And fit us for heaven, to live with you there.
Meditation Hymn: Silent Night
Silent night, Holy night, All is calm, all is bright. Round yon virgin, mother and child. Holy infant, tender and mild, Sleep in heavenly peace, Sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night, Holy night, Shepherds quake, at the sight; Glories stream from heaven afar; Heavenly, hosts sing Alleluia. Christ the Savior is born, Christ the Savior is born.
Silent night, Holy night, Son of God, love's pure light; Radiant beams from thy holy face, With the dawn of redeeming grace, Jesus, Lord at thy birth Jesus, Lord at thy birth.
Recessional Hymn: Joy to the World
Joy to the World, the Lord is come! Let earth receive her King; Let every heart prepare Him room, And Heaven and nature sing, And Heaven and nature sing, And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.
Joy to the World, the Savior reigns! Let men their songs employ; While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.
He rules the world with truth and grace, And makes the nations prove The glories of His righteousness, And wonders of His love, And wonders of His love, And wonders, wonders, of His love.
