Gathering | We Gather In Love

We come to gather in our weakness
to reconnect as seekers
and worship one true God
We come to gather with the broken
whose words may go unspoken
We gather all as one

United in one Spirit
each different in appearance
all are welcome in the house of God
We gather in love

We come to claim the truth in Jesus
who gave His life to free us
and show us how to love
We come to light our lives on fire
With mercy, we inspire
and gather all as one

United in one Spirit
each different in appearance
all are welcome in the house of God
We gather in love
all are welcome in the house of God
We gather in love

Closing | There’s A Wideness In God’s Mercy

There is a wideness in God’s mercy
Like the wideness of the sea
There’s a kindness in God’s justice
Which is more than liberty
There is plentiful redemption
In the blood that has been shed
There is joy for all the members
In the sorrows of the Head

There is welcome for the sinner
And a promised grace made good
There is mercy with the Savior
There is healing in Christ’s blood
There is grace enough for thousands
Of new worlds as great as this
There is room for fresh creations
In that upper home of bliss

So be merciful
Just as our God is merciful
Be merciful
Just as our God is merciful to us
Let there be a wideness in our mercy
Let there be a kindness in our hearts
O___may our lives be merciful

Love has captured the night

Entrance | 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

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 child 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

[Girls continue to sing “What Child Is This” while Guys sing below]
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

[Girls]
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
The babe, the Son of Mary

[Guys]
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

[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]
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”

[Build up rhythm and beat]

[Girls]
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
The babe, the Son of Mary

[Guys]
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

Communion #1 | 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

Communion #2 | 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

Recessional | Hark! The Herald Angels Sing

Hark! the herald angels sing,
“Glory to the new-born King!
Peace on earth, and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled.”
Joyful, all ye nations, rise,
Join the triumph of the skies;
With th’ angelic host proclaim,
“Christ is born in Bethlehem.”
Hark! the herald angels sing,
“Glory to the new-born King!

Christ, by highest heaven adored:
Christ, the everlasting Lord;
Late in time behold Him come,
Offspring of the Virgin’s womb.
Veiled in flesh, the Godhead see;
Hail, th’incarnate Deity:
Pleased, as man, with us to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel!
Hark! the herald angels sing,
“Glory to the new-born King!
