5 5 Oh, Come All Ye Faithful
6 A Christmas Dialog The word became flesh and lived among us. Oh, come, let us worship him. The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it. God is light, and in him there is no darkness. If we walk in the light as he himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another. The word became flesh and lived among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the Father s only Son, full of grace and truth. For unto us a Child is born. Unto us a Son is given. In the birth of the Christ Child salvation has appeared. The word became flesh and lived among us. Glory to God in the highest! Prayer of the Day Let us pray. Almighty God, you made this holy night shine with the brightness of the true Light. Grant that here on earth we may walk in the light of Jesus presence and in the last day wake to the brightness of his glory; through your only Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen. 6
7 Hymn of Praise Angels We Have Heard On High Hard Covered Hymn Book - ELW # 289 Reprinted by ownership of copies or license, see page 2. Please be seated 7
8 The Readings First Lesson: Isaiah 9:2-7 The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who lived in a land of deep darkness-- on them light has shined. You have multiplied the nation, you have increased its joy; they rejoice before you as with joy at the harvest, as people exult when dividing plunder. For the yoke of their burden, and the bar across their shoulders, the rod of their oppressor, you have broken as on the day of Midian. For all the boots of the tramping warriors and all the garments rolled in blood shall be burned as fuel for the fire. For a child has been born for us, a son given to us; authority rests upon his shoulders; and he is named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. His authority shall grow continually, and there shall be endless peace for the throne of David and his kingdom. He will establish and uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time onward and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this. Word of God. Word of Life. Thanks be to God. 8
9 Musical Offering There is Great Joy Coming Courtney/Red, arr. Hayes "There is a great joy a comin', there is a great joy a comin', there is a great joy a comin' to the whole people, my Lord." Second Lesson: Titus 2:11-14 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all, training us to renounce impiety and worldly passions, and in the present age to live lives that are self-controlled, upright, and godly, while we wait for the blessed hope and the manifestation of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. He it is who gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purify for himself a people of his own who are zealous for good deeds. Word of God. Word of Life. Thanks be to God. Please stand as you are able Response O Little Town of Bethlehem Hard Covered Hymn Book ELW # 279 Reprinted by ownership of copies or license, see page 2. See next page for the hymn 9
10 O Little Town of Bethlehem Hard Covered Hymn Book - ELW # 279 Verses 1 and 2 O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by. Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth! And praises sing to God the King, And peace to men on earth. For Christ is born of Mary And gathered all above, While mortals sleep the Angels keep Their watch of wondering love. 10
11 The Holy Gospel John 1: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being 4 in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it. 6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him. 8 He himself was not the light, but he came to testify to the light. 9 The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world came into being through him; yet the world did not know him. 11 He came to what was his own, and his own people did not accept him. 12 But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God, 13 who were born, not of blood or of the will of the flesh or of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father's only son, full of grace and truth. Word of God. Word of Life. Thanks be to God. The Gospel Response follows on the next page. 11
12 Response O Little Town of Bethlehem Hard Covered Hymn Book ELW # 279 Reprinted by ownership of copies or license, see page 2. Verses 3, 4 and 5 How silently, how silently, The wondrous gift is given; So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His Heaven. No ear may hear His coming, But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him still, The dear Christ enters in. Where children pure and happy Pray to the blessed Child, Where misery cries out to Thee, Son of the Mother mild; Where Charity stands watching And faith holds wide the door, The dark night wakes, the glory breaks, And Christmas comes once more. O holy Child of Bethlehem, Descend to us, we pray! Cast out our sin and enter in, Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels, The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Emmanuel! Please be seated. 12

On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen 14

May we in words and song tell to all people the story of the gift of salvation we have been given on this holy night. God of grace Hear our prayer.
