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
Glo___ria, in excelsis Deo
Glo___ria, in excelsis Deo
Preparation of the Gifts | Be Not Afraid
You shall cross the barren desert
but you shall not die of thirst
You shall wander far in safety
though you do not know the way
You shall speak your words in foreign lands
and all will understand
You shall see the face of God and live
Be not afraid
I go before you always
Come, follow me
and I will give you rest
Communion | Night of Silence/Silent Night
Cold are the people,
Winter of life,
We tremble in shadows this cold endless night,
Frozen in the snow lie roses sleeping,
Flowers that will echo the sunrise,
Fire of hope is our only warmth,
Weary, its flame will be dying soon.
Voice in the distance,
Call in the night,
On wind you enfold us you speak of the light,
Gentle on the ear you whisper softly,
Rumors of a dawn so embracing,
Breathless love awaits darkened souls,
Soon will we know of the morning.
Silent night
Holy night
All is come
All is bright
Round yon Virgin mother and child
Holy infant, so tender and mild
Sleep in Heavenly peace
Sleep in Heavenly peace
Closing | Joy to the World
Joy! Let there be joy!
Let there be joy!
Let there be joy to the world!
Joy! Let there be joy!
Let there be joy!
Let there be joy to the world!
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
And heaven, and heaven and nature sing
