20 THE CALL TO WORSHIP (Psalm a)

21 Minister: This is the day that the LORD has made; People: Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

22 Minister: Save us, we pray, O LORD! People: O LORD, we pray, give us success!

23 Minister: Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD! People: We bless you from the house of the LORD.

24 All: The LORD is God, and He has made His light to shine upon us.

25 Prayer of Confession All: O Lord, I marvel that You purposed to become flesh so that You might be crucified, dead, and buried for me.

26 Grant me to die with You that I may rise to new life. Purge me from selfishness, pride, and the fear of man.

27 Lord, high and holy, meek and lowly, let me learn that the way down is the way up, that to be low is to be high,

28 that the contrite spirit is the rejoicing spirit, that to have nothing is to possess all,

29 that to give is to receive, that the valley is the place of vision. Come, Lord Jesus.

30 Have mercy on us, O God. Lord, hear our prayers.

31 SILENT PRAYERS OF THANKSGIVING AND CONFESSION

32 Words of Assurance and Pardon of the Gospel (John 1:12-13)

33 Minister: But to all who did receive Him, who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

34 Angels from the Realms of Glory Hymn # 259

35 Angels from the realms of glory, Wing your flight o er all the earth; Ye who sang creation s story, Now proclaim Messiah s birth: Come and worship, come and worship, Worship Christ, the newborn King.

36 Shepherds in the fields abiding, Watching o er your flocks by night, God with man is now residing, Yonder shines the infant Light: Come and worship, come and worship, Worship Christ, the newborn King.

37 Sages, leave your contemplations, Brighter visions beam afar; Seek the great Desire of nations, Ye have seen his natal star: Come and worship, come and worship, Worship Christ, the newborn King.

38 Saints before the altar bending, Watching long in hope and fear, Suddenly the Lord, descending, In his temple shall appear: Come and worship, come and worship, Worship Christ, the newborn King.

39 Tho an infant now we view Him, He will share His Father s throne; Gather all the nations to Him; Every knee shall then bow down. Come and worship, come and worship Worship Christ the new born king
