Preparation for Worship
Time for Gathering
Opening Hymn
“We Three Kings”
We three kings of Orient are bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain moor and mountain following yonder star
Chorus:
O star of wonder star of light star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading still proceeding guide us to Thy perfect light
Born a King on Bethlehem's plain gold I bring to crown Him again
King forever ceasing never over us all to reign [Chorus]
Frankincense to offer have I Incense owns a Deity nigh
Prayer and praising voices raising worshiping God on high [Chorus]
Myrrh is mine its bitter perfume breathes a life of gathering gloom
Sorrowing sighing bleeding dying sealed in the stone cold tomb [Chorus]
Glorious now behold Him arise King and God and sacrifice
Alleluia alleluia sounds through the earth and skies [Chorus]

Closing Hymn
“Go Tell It on The Mountain”
Go tell it on the mountain over the hills and ev'rywhere
Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born
While shepherds kept their watching O'er silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens there shone a holy light
Go tell it on the mountain over the hills and ev'rywhere
Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born
The shepherds feared and trembled when lo above the earth
Rang out the angel chorus that hailed our Savior's birth
Go tell it on the mountain over the hills and ev'rywhere
Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born
Down in a lowly manger the humble Christ was born
And God sent us salvation that blessed Christmas morn
Go tell it on the mountain over the hills and ev'rywhere
Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born
