Gathering | Angels We Have Heard On High
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o’er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song?
Glo___ria, in excelsis Deo
Glo___ria, in excelsis Deo
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing,
Come, adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lord, the newborn King.
See Him in a manger laid
Whom the angels praise above
Mary, Joseph, lend you aid
Which we raise our hearts in love
Glo___ria, in excelsis Deo
Glo___ria, in excelsis De___o
in excelsis De___o

Preparation | O Holy Night
O holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior’s birth
Long lay the world
In sin and error pining
‘Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks
A new and glorious morn
Fall___on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night___divine
O night___when Christ was born
Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains He shall break
For the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
Let all within us praise His holy Name
Christ___is the Lord
O praise___His Name forever
His pow’r___and glory evermore
Evermore proclaim
His pow’r___and glo___ry evermore
Evermore proclaim
Fall___on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night___divine
O night___when Christ was born
O night___divine
O night divine

Reflection | Silent Night
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin, Mother, Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing ‘Alleluia!
Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born
Silent night, holy night!
Son of God, love’s pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth

Love has come to save
Love a child and a redeemer
Jesus born this day
Come, O come, adore

Holy, holy
Love has captured the night
Word made flesh and gently sleeping
Peace for all on earth
Faith fulfilled and vict’ry promised

Holy, holy
Glory to God on high
Holy, holy
Love has captured the night
