Opening Hymn “Sing We Now of Christmas”
Sing we now of Christmas Noel sing we here
Hear our grateful praises to the babe so dear
Refrain
Sing we Noel the King is born Noel
Sing we now of Christmas sing we now Noel
Angels called to shepherds leave your flocks at rest
Journey forth to Bethlehem find the lambkin blest [Refrain]
In Bethlehem they found him Joseph and Mary mild
Seated by the manger watching the holy child [Refrain]
From the eastern country came the kings afar
Bearing gifts to Bethlehem guided by a star [Refrain]
Gold and myrrh they took there gifts of greatest price
There was ne'er a place on earth so like paradise [Refrain]
Prayer of Praise
Song of Worship
Prayers of the Church and Prayer of our Lord
Offering “What Child is This”
What Child is this who laid to rest on Mary's lap is sleeping
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet while shepherds watch are keeping
This this is Christ the King whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste haste to bring Him laud the Babe the Son of Mary
So bring Him incense gold and myrrh come peasant king to own Him
The King of kings salvation brings let loving hearts enthrone Him
Raise raise the song on high the Virgin sings her lullaby
Joy joy for Christ is born the Babe the Son of Mary
Stories of Christmas
Closing Hymn “Good Christian Friends Rejoice”
Good Christian men rejoice with heart and soul and voice
Give ye heed to what we say news news Jesus Christ is born today
Ox and ass before Him bow and He is in the manger now
Christ is born today Christ is born today
Good Christian men rejoice with heart and soul and voice
Now ye hear of endless bliss joy joy Jesus Christ was born for this
He has opened heaven’s door and man is blessed evermore
Christ was born for this Christ was born for this
Good Christian men rejoice with heart and soul and voice
Now ye need not fear the grave peace peace Jesus Christ was born to save
Calls you one and calls you all to gain His everlasting hall
