2 ! 2 ORDER OF WORSHIP! Organ Prelude! Prelude on Forest Green (O Little Town of Bethlehem) Dale Wood ( ) Call to worship The Christ Candle is lit. During the following hymn the Christ Candle will be lit. The day of Christ has come! Processional Hymn O come, all ye faithful (Adeste Fideles) 1.

3 ! A Christmas prayer. 3 Hymn please remain seated Away in a manger (Cradle Song) 1. Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, the little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head. The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay, the little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay. 2. The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes, but little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes. I love Thee, Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky, and stay by my side until morning is nigh. 3. Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask thee to stay close by me for ever, and love me, I pray. Bless all the dear children in thy tender care, and fit us for heaven, to live with thee there. Welcome and The peace. Hymn The north wind (North Wind) 1 The north wind is tossing the leaves. The red dust is over the town; the sparrows are under the eaves, and the grass in the paddock is brown; as we lift up our voices and sing, to the Christ-child the heavenly King. 2 The tree ferns in green gullies sway; the cool stream flows silently by; the joy bells are greeting the day, and the chimes are adrift in the sky, as we lift up our voices and sing, to the Christ-child the heavenly King.
4 ! The Service 4 of the Word A reading from the Hebrew Scriptures Isaiah 52: How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of the messenger who announces peace, who brings good news, who announces salvation, who says to Zion, Your God reigns. 8 Listen! Your sentinels lift up their voices, together they sing for joy; for in plain sight they see the return of the Lord to Zion. 9 Break forth together into singing, you ruins of Jerusalem; for the Lord has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem. 10 The Lord has bared his holy arm before the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God. In this is the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. Laudamus Te (from Gloria ) Antonia Vivaldi ( ) Sopranos: Ruth Lockley and Georgia Melville Laudamus Te Benedicimus Te Adoramus Te Glorificamus Te We praise you We bless you We adore you We glorify you A reading from the Christian Scriptures Matthew 1: Now the birth of Jesus the Messiah * took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. 19 Her husband Joseph, being a righteous man and unwilling to expose her to public disgrace, planned to dismiss her quietly. 20 But just when he had resolved to do this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will bear a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins. 22 All this took place to fulfil what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet: 23 Look, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel, which means, God is with us. 24 When Joseph awoke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him; he took her as his wife, 25 but had no marital relations with her until she had borne a son; * and he named him Jesus. For the gospel of the Lord Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
5 ! 5 Anthem Sans Day Carol Cornish traditional carol arranged by John Rutter ( ) 1. Now the holly bears a berry as white as the milk, And Mary she bore Jesus, who was wrapped up in silk: Chorus: And Mary she bore Jesus our Saviour for to be, And the first tree that's in the greenwood, it was the holly. 2. Now the holly bears a berry as green as the grass, And Mary she bore Jesus, who died on the cross: Chorus 3. Now the holly bears a berry as black as the coal, And Mary she bore Jesus, who died for us all: Chorus 4. Now the holly bears a berry, as blood is it red, Then trust we our Saviour, who rose from the dead: Chorus Our word of action Offering Hymn Joy to the world (Antioch) If you would like your offering to go to the Christmas Bowl Appeal, please use the envelope inside your order of worship and place in today s offering. 1. Joy to the world! The Lord is come; let earth receive her King! Let every heart prepare Him room, and heaven and nature sing, and heaven and nature sing, and heaven, and heaven and nature sing. 2. Joy to the world! the Saviour reigns; let men their songs employ. While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains repeat the sounding joy, repeat the sounding joy, repeat, repeat the sound joy.
6 ! 6 3. He rules the world with truth and grace, and makes the nations prove the glories of his righteousness and wonders of his love, and wonders of his love, and wonders and wonders of his love. Prayers of the people The Lord s Prayer Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and for ever. Amen. Choir Carol Torches Text: Translated from the Spanish Carol by J.B. Trend Music: John Joubert ( ) Torches, torches, run with torches All the way to Bethlehem! Christ is born and now lies sleeping; Come and sing your song to Him! Ah, Roro, Roro, my baby, Ah, Roro, my love, Roro; Sleep you well, my heart's own darling, While we sing you our Rorro. Sing, my friends, and make you merry, Joy and mirth and joy again; Lo, He lives, the King of heaven, Now and evermore. Amen.
7 ! 7 The Incarnate Word - A statement of faith. (If you are able, please stand.) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God; all things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being. In him was life, and the life was the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it. The true light, which enlightens every one, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world came into being through him; yet the world did not know him. He came to what was his own, and his own people did not accept him. But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God, who were born, not of blood or of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of a father s only son, full of grace and truth; From his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. The law indeed was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God; it is God the only Son, who is close to the Father s heart, who has made him known. (John 1:1-5, 9-14, 16-18)!
8 ! 8 unannounced Hymn Hark! The herald angels sing (Mendelssohn) 1. Hark! the herald angels sing glory to the newborn King! Peace on earth and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled. Joyful, all ye nations rise, join the triumph of the skies; with the angelic host proclaim: Christ is born in Bethlehem. Hark! The herald angels sing "Glory to the newborn King!" 2. Christ, by highest heav'n adored Christ, the everlasting Lord! Late in time behold him come, offspring of a Virgin's womb: veiled in flesh the Godhead see; hail the incarnate Deity, pleased as man with man to dwell Jesus, our Emmanuel. Hark! The herald angels sing "Glory to the newborn King! 3. Hail the heav'n-born Prince of Peace! Hail the Sun of Righteousness! Light and life to all he brings, ris'n with healing in his wings: mild he lays his glory by, born that man no more may die, born to raise the sons of earth, born to give them second birth. Hark! The herald angels sing "Glory to the newborn King! Benediction Dismissal Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. In the name of Christ. Threefold Amen
