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?
Say what may the 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

Offertory | What Child Is This/The Child of the Poor
[Girls]
What child is this
Who laid to rest
On Mary’s lap is sleeping
Whom angels greet
With anthems sweet
While shepherds watch
Are keeping
[Guys]
Helpless and hungry
Lowly, afraid
Wrapped in the chill of mid-winter
Comes now among us
Born into poverty’s embrace
New life for the world
[All]
Who is this who lives with the lowly
Sharing their sorrows
Knowing their hunger
This is Christ revealed to the world
In the eyes of a child
A child of the poor
[All]
Who is the stranger
Here in our midst
Looking for shelter among us
Who is the outcast
Who do we see amid the poor
The children of God
[All]
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
The babe, the Son of Mary
[Girls at the same time as the Guys below]
What child is this
Who laid to rest
On Mary’s lap is sleeping
Whom angels greet
With anthems sweet
While shepherds watch
Are keeping
[Guys at the same time as the Girls above]
Bring all the thirsty
All who seek peace
Bring those with nothing to offer
Strengthen the feeble
Say to the frightened heart, “Fear not
Here is your God”

Reflection | 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
Fall___on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night___divine
O night___when Christ was born
Closing | 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
Joy to the world
The Savior reigns
Let us our songs employ
While fields and floods
Rocks, hills, and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy
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, wonders of His love
