Preparation of the Gifts | 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
[Solo]
O night___divine
O night divine

Closing | It’s Christmas
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
It’s Christmas
The angels are singing
And I know the reason
The Savior is born
It’s Christmas
The bells are ringing
And I feel like shouting
Joy to the world
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born
It’s Christmas
The angels are singing
And I know the reason
The Savior is born
Yes, it’s Christmas
The bells are ringing
And I feel like shouting
Joy to the world
Joy to the world
Oh, joy to the world
