Preparation for Worship
Time for Gathering
Opening Hymn: “We Three Kings”
1 We three kings of Orient are; bearing gifts we traverse afar,
field and fountain, moor and mountain, following yonder star.
Refrain:
O star of wonder, star of light, star with royal beauty bright,
westward leading, still proceeding, guide us to thy perfect light.
2 Born a King on Bethlehem's plain, gold I bring to crown him again,
King forever, ceasing never, over us all to reign. [Refrain]
3 Frankincense to offer have I; incense owns a Deity nigh;
prayer and praising, voices raising, worshiping God on high. [Refrain]
4 Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume breathes a life of gathering gloom;
sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying, sealed in the stone-cold tomb. [Refrain]
5 Glorious now behold him arise; King and God and sacrifice:
Alleluia, Alleluia, sounds through the earth and skies. [Refrain]
Prayer of Praise
Song of Worship
Prayers of the Church and the Prayer of our Lord
Offering and Doxology
Scripture Lesson: Matthew 1:1-12
Sermon: Searching for a Savior
Closing Hymn: “Go Tell it On the Mountain”
1 While shepherds kept their watching o’er silent flocks by night,
behold throughout the heavens there shone a holy light. [Refrain]
Refrain:
Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere;
go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born!
2 The shepherds feared and trembled when lo! above the earth
rang out the angel chorus that hailed our Savior’s birth. [Refrain]
3 Down in a lowly manger the humble Christ was born,
and God sent us salvation that blessed Christmas morn. [Refrain]
