Welcome (Come and decorate our Tree of Warmth that will keep the kids at Bruson Elementary warm this year.)
O Come All Ye Faithful O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant, O come ye, O come ye, to Bethlehem. Come and behold him, born the King of Angels. O come, let us adore him, O come, let us adore him, O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord.
Angels We Have Heard On High.......................GLORIA Angels we have heard on high sweetly singing o’er the plains, and the mountains in reply echoing their joyous strains. Gloria, in excelsis Deo! Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why your joyous strains prolong? What the gladsome tidings be which inspire your heavenly song? Gloria, in excelsis Deo! Chapel Chimes and Junior Choir
Jesus Is Born (As we sing, any children dressed as animals are invited to come forward.)
Away in a Manger 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.
Angels share the Good News with the Shepherds (As we sing, any children dressed as angels and shepherds are invited to come forward.)
The First Noel
The first Noel the angel did say was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay; in fields where they lay keeping their sheep, on a cold winter’s night that was so deep. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, born is the king of Israel.
The Wise Men Bring Gifts (As we sing, any children dressed as wise men are invited to come forward.)
We Three Kings We three kings of Orient are; bearing gifts we traverse afar, field and fountain, moor and mountain, following yonder star. O star of wonder, star of light, star with royal beauty bright, westward leading, still proceeding, guide us to thy perfect light.
The Greatest Gift Silent Night Silent night, holy night, all is calm, all is bright, ‘round yon virgin, mother and child. Holy infant so tender and mild, sleep in heavenly peace, sleep in heavenly peace.
We are so glad you have joined us this morning. We look forward to worshiping with you again soon.
