9 In Him We Live 5060 Narrator: In him we live: in Jesus Christ, our Savior, who is light life of world, for "by him, through him Shout for Joy Ye Sons of God of him, worlds are were created, inhabitants reof are begotten sons daughters unto God." It is his work his glory to bring to pass our immortality eternal life. Even before foundation of world, Jesus began this great work. We lived with him in that premortal realm, as spirit children of our Heavenly Far. It was our Far's plan for us that we should leave his presence for a season, to live in a mortal world, to gain bodies of flesh made in his image, to learn by our own experience to choose right from wrong He appointed his Son to carry out this plan, to be our 26 Savior, Creator of our world. And Jesus said, "We will go down... we will make an earth whereon se may dwell; 28 0 And we will prove m herewith, to see if y will do 2 all things whatsoever Lord ir God shall comm m." And so it was that, in beginning, God, through his Son Jesus Christ, created for us heaven earth. And in response, " morning stars sang toger, all sons of God shouted for joy." 4 6 repeat as necessary, n proceed without pause from measure 5 or 7.

19 Shout for Joy Our Birth is but a Sleep about 50 The creation of world set in motion Far's great plan of salvation. We gently were among host of heaven who shouted for joy at its commencement, n, at appointed time, 2 4 each of us left our heavenly home to be born of mortal parents on this earth. A veil of forgetfulness 6 8 was drawn across our memory, we began our earthly lives as infants, pure innocent. Little wonder that we feel a sense of awe reverence as we hold a newborn child, so lately come from presence of God. In response to se feelings, poet Wordsworth wrote, "Our birth is but a sleep a forgetting. The soul that rises with us, our life's star, hath had elsewhere its setting, cometh from afar: Not in entire forgetfulness, not in utter nakedness, but trailing clouds of glory do we come from God who is our home. Heaven lies about us in our infancy!" repeat as necessary, n proceed without pause from measure 14 or 16 ( )

24 Our Birth is but a Sleep Come Save Me about 70 Narrator: Though we are born in innocence, we soon learn to choose for ourselves to follow our own will. 2 4 The Spirit of Christ, given to every man at birth, 6 teaches us good from evil. It speaks to our hearts, touches our conscience, prompts within us a yearning for heavenly realm we once knew. It invites us to look beyond this mortal sphere for meaning guidance. But despite se promptings, we inevitably stray from 60 path of righteousness, setting our own will above God's will. In our pride, our ignorance, our foolishness, we violate his laws reby cut ourselves off from him. "All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way..." As we become aware of our lost fallen condition, we realize anew our dependence upon Christ, Shepherd of our souls, who alone can save us return us to his fold. 18 repeat as necessary 20 proceed without pause

32 Come Save Me What Sound Upon Midnight Air? about 70 2 Narrator: From Adam's day forward, men women of faith have trusted in Savior for that redemption from sin death which was promised 4 6 a tempo to us before world began. Prophets throughout ages looked with hope toward a time when a virgin would concieve, bear a son, call his name Immanuel A time when "God himself should come down among children of men, take upon him form of man, go forth in mighty power upon face of earth." Two thous years ago, people of Bethlehem also waited for ir Savior to come, watching for him to appear among men as a mighty king, in majesty glory. 16 And so it was, that as Mary brought forth her firstborn son laid him in a manger, y were unaware that greatest story in history of world was unfolding in ir very midst. 18 repeat as necessary riten.

66 In Silent Garden Because He Lives about 80 Narrator: How gratefully we testify that creator of world "was made flesh dwelt among us"; that he, in his 2 4 infinite love, suffered for grief 6 of his resurrection many have testified, beginning with an angel 8 10 sin of every man woman born into mortality; that he arose from grave lives today. Of reality who announced to grieving disciples: "Fear not, for I know that ye seek Jesus which was crucified. He is not here; for he is risen." And in our own time, a prophet declared: 16 "And now, after many testimonies which have been given of him, this is testimony, last of all, which we give of him: That he lives! For we saw him, even on right h of God..."

88 1. Prelude 2. In Him We Live Narrator: In him we live: in Jesus Christ, our Savior, who is light life of world, for "by him, through him, of him, worlds are were created, inhabitants reof are begotten sons daughters unto God." It is his work glory to bring to pass our immortality eternal life. Even before foundation of world, Jesus began this great work. We lived with him in that premortal realm, as spirit children of our Heavenly Far. It was our Far's plan for us that we should leave his presence for a season to live in a mortal world, to gain bodies of flesh made in his image, to learn by our own experience to choose right from wrong. He appointed his Son to carry out this plan, to be our Savior, Creator of our world. And Jesus said: "We will go down... we will make an earth whereon se may dwell; And we will prove m herewith, to see if y will do all things whatsoever Lord ir God shall comm m." And so it was that in beginning, God, through his son Jesus Christ, created for us heaven earth. And in response, morning stars sang toger, all sons of God shouted for joy.. Shout for Joy Ye Sons of God Narrator: The creation of world set in motion our Far's great plan of salvation. We were among host of heaven who shouted for joy at its commencement, n, at appointed time, each of us left our heavenly home to be born of mortal parents on this earth. A veil of forgetfulness was drawn across our memory, we began our earthly lives as infants, pure innocent. Little wonder that we feel a sense of awe reverence as we hold a newborn child, so lately come from presence of God. In response to se feelings, poet Wordsworth wrote: Our birth is but a sleep a forgetting The soul that rises with us, our life's star Hath had elsewhere its setting, And cometh from afar: Not in entire forgetfulness And not in utter nakedness, But trailing clouds of glory do we come From God who is our home Heaven lies about us in our infancy! 4. Our Birth is but a Sleep Narrator: Though we are born in innocence, we soon learn to choose for ourselves to follow our own will. The Spirit of Christ, given to every man at birth, teaches us good from evil. It speaks to our hearts, touches our conscience, prompts within us a yearning for heavenly realm we once knew. It invites us to look beyond this mortal sphere for meaning guidance. But despite se promptings, we inevitably stray from path of righteousness, setting our own will above God's will. In our pride, our ignorance, our foolishness, we violate his laws reby cut ourselves off from him. "All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way..." As we become aware of our lost fallen condition, we realize anew our dependence upon Christ, Shepherd of our souls, who alone can save us return us to his fold. 5. Come Save Me, Oh My Shepherd Narrator: From Adam's day forward, men women of faith have trusted in Savior for that redemption from sin death which was promised to us before world began. Prophets throughout ages looked

89 with hope toward a time when a virgin would concieve, bear a son, call his name Immanuel. A time when "God himself should come down among children of men, take upon him form of man, go forth in mighty power upon face of earth." Two thous years ago, people of Bethlehem also waited for ir Savior to come, watching for him to appear among men as a mighty king, in majesty glory. And so it was, that as Mary brought forth her firstborn son laid him in a manger, people were unaware that greatest story in history of world was unfolding in ir very midst. 6. What Sound Upon Midnight Air? Interlude: Where Lies Lord? 7. There Within a Stable 8. Look On Him Live Interlude: Look Upon Son of God 9. Behold Man Interlude: Weep for Joy/In Him We Live 10. In Silent Garden Narrator: How gratefully we testify that creator of world "was made flesh dwelt among us"; that he, in his infinite love, suffered for grief sin of every man woman born into mortality; that he arose from grave lives today. Of reality of his resurrection, many have testified, beginning with an angel who announced to grieving disciples: "Fear not, for I know that ye seek Jesus which was crucified. He is not here; for he is risen." And, in our own time, a prophet declared: "And now, after many testimonies which have been given of him, this is testimony, last of all, which we give of him: That he lives! For we saw him, even on right h of God..." Because he lives, we have promise that we, too, will be freed from grave by his power, for by his own victory over death, Jesus conquered death for all mankind. In this assurance, we gain strength to meet challenges of our lives, we find comfort in our times of sorrow, we live in hope of eternal life because Jesus lives. 11. Because He Lives Narrator: Because Jesus lives, we are blessed to have his power guidance in our own lives. Through his spirit, given to each of us freely, through living prophets who speak in his name, he leads directs us as we strive to fulfill our purpose on this earth. And in accordance with his Far's great plan, in a time not far distant, he will return to us in glory, to reign upon earth as our king.

In anticipation of this glorious time of peace, we echo words of John: Even so, come, Lord Jesus. 12. Come, Lord Jesus Narrator: Wher we meet him with shouts of acclamation at his triumphant return, or meekly enter his presence after we pass from this life, we look forward to that glad reunion with our Savior. Then, as we fully comprehend magnitude of his work for us, our hearts will swell with gratitude, every knee shall bow every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord all his ways are perfect.
