CENTERING THOUGHT Guardian angels protect; herald angels announce. Guardian angels bring comfort; herald angels pronounce, with glorious singing and fanfare on horn, the Good News that Jesus the Christ is born. Were guardian angels with shepherds and sheep that night on the hills while the flocks were asleep?
2 Herald angels awakened them all with Good News of Christ s birth in a Bethlehem stall. Guardian angels protect; herald angels announce. Guardian angels bring comfort; herald angels pronounce, with glorious singing and fanfare on horn, the Good News that Jesus the Christ is born. Jocelyn Young VanBuskirk, 2018 APPROACHING GOD WELCOME PRELUDE A boy was born Teri Thomas Benjamin Britten ( A boy was born in Bethlehem; Rejoice for that, Jerusalem! Alleluya, Alleluya, Alleluya. He let himself a servant be, That all mankind he might set free: Alleluya, Alleluya, Alleluya. Then praise the Word of God who came To dwell within a human frame: Alleluya, Alleluya, Alleluya. The Holly and the Ivy Traditional Carol arr. Reginald Jacques ( ) The holly and the ivy, When they are both full grown,
3 Of all the trees that are in the wood, The holly bears the crown. The rising of the sun, And the running of the deer, The playing of the merry organ, Sweet singing in the choir. The holly bears a blossom, As white as the lily flower; And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ, To be our sweet Savior. The rising of the sun, And the running of the deer, The playing of the merry organ, Sweet singing in the choir. The holly bears a berry, As red as any blood; And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ, For to do us sinners good. The rising of the sun, And the running of the deer, The playing of the merry organ, Sweet singing in the choir. The holly bears a prickle, As sharp as any thorn, And Mary bore Sweet Jesus Christ, On Christmas day in the morn. The rising of the sun, And the running of the deer, The playing of the merry organ, Sweet singing in the choir. The holly bears a bark, As bitter as any gall; And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ, For to redeem us all. The rising of the sun, And the running of the deer, The playing of the merry organ, Sweet singing in the choir.
4 What Sweeter Music John Rutter (b. 1945) What sweeter music can we bring than a carol, for to sing The birth of this our heav nly King? Awake the voice! Awake the string! Dark and dull night, fly hence away, and give the honour to this day That sees December turn d to May, That sees December turn d to May. Why does the chilling winter s morn smile, like a field beset with corn? Or smell like a meadow newly shorn thus on the sudden? Come and see the cause, why things thus fragrant be: Tis he is born, whose quick ning birth give life and lustre, public mirth, To heaven and the underearth. We see him come, and know him ours, Who, with his sunshine and his show rs, Turns the patient ground to flow rs, turns all the patient ground to flow rs. The darling of the world is come, and fit it is, we find a room to welcome him, to welcome him. The nobler part of all the house here, is the heart, Which we will give him; and bequeath this holly, and this ivy wreath,
5 To do him honour; who s our King, and Lord of all this reveling. Sleep, My Saviour, Sleep Robert J. Powell (b. 1932) Sleep, sleep, sleep my Saviour, sleep, On Thy bed of hay, Angels in the spangled Heaven sing their gladsome Christmas carols Till the dawn of day. Sleep, my Saviour, sleep, my Saviour, Sweet on Mary s breast, Now the Shepherds kneel adoring, Now the Mother s heart is joyous Take a happy rest. Sleep, sleep, Sleep my Saviour, sleep, Sweet on Mary s breast, Crucified, with wounds and bruises, Bleeding purple, stained, disfigured, One day Thou will rest. O Magnum Mysterium Tomas Luis de Victoria ( ) Section Leaders O magnum mysterium, et admirabile sacramentum, Ut animalia viderent Dominum natum, jacentem in praesepio! Beata Virgo, cujus viscera meruerunt portare Dominum Jesum Christum. Alleluia!
6 O great mystery, and wonderful sacrament, that animals should see the new-born Lord, lying in a manger! Blessed is the Virgin whose womb was worthy to bear the Lord Jesus Christ. Alleluia! Here is the Little Door Herbert Howells ( ) Here is the little door, lift up the latch, oh lift! We need not wander more but enter with our gift; Our gift of finest gold, Gold that was never bought or sold; Myrrh to be strewn about His Bed; Incense in clouds about His Head; All for the Child that stirs not in His sleep, But holy slumber hold with ass and sheep. Bend low about His Bed: for each He has a gift; See how His eyes awake, lift up up your hands, oh lift! For gold, He gives a keen-edged sword (Defend with it, Thy little Lord!) For incense, smoke of battle red, Myrrh for the honoured happy dead; Gifts for His children, terrible and sweet, Touched by such tiny hands and oh such tiny feet. CALL TO WORSHIP Teri Thomas and Ruth Chadwick Moore People of God, when the angels appeared, the shepherds were terrified. We will not fear, for this is the night of good news. We have been watching and waiting for this night.
7 We have watched with hope. (the first candle is lighted) We have waited with patience. (the second candle is lighted) We have rejoiced in God s promise. (the third candle is lighted) We have trusted in God s steadfast love for all creation. (the fourth candle is lighted) Tonight we celebrate the good news of a baby born in a stable. The long-awaited promise has been fulfilled. (the Christ candle is lighted) Born as one of us, Jesus is God s living Word of Love. Do not be afraid! The Good news is here! Now! For all of us! Come, Lord Jesus! Let us worship God! *HYMN NO. 119 Hark, The Herald Angels Sing MENDELSSOHN

9 *PRAYER FOR CHRISTMAS EVE O Holy One, Word made flesh, eternity captured in hope, heaven-born in a manger, light in the darkness. You surround us with mercy and hold us with love. We run with the shepherds and kneel with the magi. We stand in the presence of angels and witness the mystery of incarnate love. Let your flesh be our flesh, your spirit our spirit, your power our power, your love our love. In the spirit of the Christ child, we pray. Amen.

13 PRAYERS ON CHRISTMAS EVE God of all creation, your angels sang a new song on the mountains, a song of good news to all the earth. Lift up our eyes to the singing hills; open our ears to the roaring sea, the clapping rivers; open our hearts to those around us, that we may praise you with our whole lives and know the joy of your presence. For the coming of your Word to live among us, we give you grateful thanks. We thank you for Christ s rising, for the healing in his wings, and for the light and life he brings to all. For the coming of the Light that cannot be overcome, we give you grateful thanks. Give us grace to be with those in sorrow this day, to weep with those who cannot sing for joy. Grant your peace to the sick, the grieving, the dying; comfort them with your presence. Give us grateful hearts for Christmas feasts and loved ones gathered around our tables. Show us the way to share our food and love with hungry people everywhere, and bring us all to your great banquet feast of joy. For the coming of your Son, who gives us power to become your children, we give you grateful thanks. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Holy Child and Savior who taught us to pray together saying
14 Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed by thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
