Prelude
Chalice Lighting: Do You Hear What I Hear?
by Noël Regney & Gloria Shayne Baker
Said the night wind to the little lamb
Do you see what I see?
Way up in the sky, little lamb
Do you see what I see?
A star, a star, dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?
A song, a song, high above the trees
With a voice as big as the sea

Carol Oh Mitten Tree
Extinguishing the Flame Do You Hear What I Hear?
by Noël Regney & Gloria Shayne Baker
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king
Do you know what I know?
In your palace warm, mighty king
Do you know what I know?
A Child, a Child shivers in the cold
Let us bring Him silver and gold
Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say
Pray for peace, people everywhere
Listen to what I say
The Child, the Child, sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light.
Benediction
Carry the Flame
Carry the flame of peace and love until we meet again
