12 Angels We Have Heard on High Hymn 113

13 Angels we have heard on high, Sweetly singing o er the plains, And the mountains in reply Echo back their joyous strains. Gloria in excelsis Deo, Gloria in excelsis Deo.

14 Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why your joyous strains prolong? Say what may the tidings be, Which inspire your heav nly song? Gloria in excelsis Deo, Gloria in excelsis Deo.

15 Come to Bethlehem, and see Him whose birth the angels sing; Come, adore on bended knee Christ the Lord, the newborn King. Gloria in excelsis Deo, Gloria in excelsis Deo.

16 See within a manger laid Jesus, Lord of heav n and earth! Mary, Joseph, lend your aid, With us sing our savior s birth. Gloria in excelsis Deo, Gloria in excelsis Deo.

21 THE CALL TO WORSHIP (Psalm )

22 Minister: The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims His handiwork.

23 People: Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge.

24 Minister: There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard.

25 People: Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them He has set a tent for the sun.

26 Prayer of Confession All: O God, in the beginning You spoke, and creation was born, the object of Your loving care.

27 In the fullness of time You spoke, and the Word became flesh, Jesus, gift of Your love.

28 We wonder at the miracle of creation; we stand in awe before the mystery of the incarnation.

29 Forgive us earthbound creatures, feeble in faith, empty of hope, lacking in love, falling short of Your righteousness.

30 Let me with Simeon clasp the new-born child to my heart, embrace Him with undying faith, exulting that He is mine and I am His.

31 We wait upon You with ready hearts, O God, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Lord, hear our prayers.

32 SILENT PRAYERS OF THANKSGIVING AND CONFESSION

33 Words of Assurance and Pardon of the Gospel (John 15: 5,8)

34 Minister: I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in Me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be My disciples.

35 What Child Is This, Who, Laid to Rest Hymn 281

36 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?

37 This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: This, this is Christ the King, The babe, the Son of Mary.

38 Why lies He in such mean estate Where ox and ass are feeding? Good Christian, fear; for sinners here The silent Word is pleading.

39 This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: This, this is Christ the King, The babe, the Son of Mary.

40 So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh, Come, peasant, king to own Him; The King of kings salvation brings, Let loving hearts enthrone Him.

41 This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: This, this is Christ the King, The babe, the Son of Mary.

43 Proclamation of Scripture: John 1 (NLT)

44 1 In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He existed in the beginning with God.

45 3 God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him. 4 The Word gave life to everything that was created,[a] and his life brought light to everyone.

46 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.[b] 6 God sent a man, John the Baptist,[c] 7 to tell about the light so that everyone might believe because of his testimony.

47 8 John himself was not the light; he was simply a witness to tell about the light. 9 The one who is the true light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.

54 Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone) Chris Tomlin

55 Amazing grace How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost, but now I'm found Was blind, but now I see

56 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear And grace my fears relieved How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed

57 My chains are gone I've been set free My God, my Savior has ransomed me And like a flood His mercy reigns Unending love, amazing grace

58 The Lord has promised good to me His word my hope secures He will my shield and portion be As long as life endures

59 My chains are gone I've been set free My God, my Savior has ransomed me And like a flood His mercy reigns Unending love, amazing grace

60 My chains are gone I've been set free My God, my Savior has ransomed me And like a flood His mercy reigns Unending love, amazing grace

61 The earth shall soon dissolve like snow The sun forbear to shine But God, Who called me here below, Will be forever mine. Will be forever mine. You are forever mine.
