The Holy Eucharist Christmas Eve Monday 24 December 2012 • 7:30 p.m.
welcome to grace
It’s Christmas.
Christmas message from the Bishop Christmas is the center of the most sublime time in the year, running from St. Andrew’s Day on November 30 through the Feast of the Epiphany on January 6. In this season we learn again to see the enormous importance of the small and the defenseless in our lives — both in our inner lives and in the world of our experiences. It is in the small and the defenseless that true life, divinity, and love are to be found.
— The Right Reverend Marc Handley Andrus, Bishop
welcome from the Dean Welcome to Grace Cathedral during this holiday season. The staff and people of this cathedral join me in wishing you a very merry Christmas. We hope that our Christmas services will inspire you, and that we will have the opportunity to welcome you back in the new year. This is a house of prayer for all people, which means it is your cathedral. Please come back and enjoy this sacred space and our worship, and spend some time with us. We will be delighted to see you again. To learn more about our worship services and cathedral events, as well as our work in the community and city, please see our website, www.gracecathedral.org.
— The Very Reverend Dr. Jane Shaw, Dean
Worshipping with us The words and music of our Christmas services speak from our ancient tradition and perhaps also give voice to what is waiting to be expressed in our own hearts. They announce both God’s promises and their fulfillment‚ something we can never earn or work for. They come as pure gift. We celebrate here our outrageous but firm belief that God yearns to be part of our lives and world. We believe that this really has happened in the person of Jesus the Christ and continues to happen in us. Coming together in this great cathedral cave, we recall the little cave of Bethlehem where this mysterious truth about God-with-us was so tenderly made known. Some of our services include Holy Communion. You are most welcome to follow the guiding of the ushers to receive the bread and wine, which we believe, by the power of God’s Holy Spirit, do not just recall and point to God’s presence with and for us, but also contain and really make present this divine gift. If you do not wish to receive either the wine or the bread, cross your arms in front of you, touching your shoulders, and simply say, “Amen.” Again, we welcome you among us and wish you the blessings of a merry Christmas.
Th e H o ly E u ch a ri st
The Eve of the Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ • Monday 24 December 2012 • 7:30 pm All who seek God and are drawn to Christ are welcome at God’s table. Hearing assistance devices are available from the ushers. Restrooms are located on the lower level. Ask an usher about wheelchair seating or large-print leaflets.
As you prepare for worship, please be sensitive to the needs of those around you who may wish to pray quietly. Please refrain from unnecessary conversation, silence any audible electronic devices, and do not use photographic, video, or audio recording equipment before or during worship services.

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;

Adeste Fideles
Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation, sing, all ye citizens of heaven above; glory to God, glory in the highest; O come let us adore him...
See how the shepherds, summoned to his cradle, leaving their flocks, draw nigh to gaze; we too will thither bend our joyful footsteps; O come let us adore him...
Child, for us sinners poor and in the manger, we would embrace thee with love and awe; who would not love thee, loving us so dearly? O come let us adore him... Yea, Lord, we greet thee, born this happy morning; Jesus, to thee be glory giv’n; Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing; O come let us adore him...

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to all those of good will. We praise you, we bless you, we worship you, we glorify you, we give thanks to you because of your great glory, Lord God, King of heaven, God the Father almighty. Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son: Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father. You take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. You take away the sins of the world, receive our prayer. You sit at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us. For you alone are holy, you alone are the Lord. You alone are the most high, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen.

May God be with you And also with you.
Let us pray. O God, you have caused this holy night to shine with the brightness of the true Light: Grant that we, who have known the mystery of that Light on earth, may also enjoy him perfectly in heaven; where with you and the Holy Spirit he lives and reigns, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.

Thanks be to God. The people remain seated. The choir sings the antiphon, then all repeat.
Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the whole earth. Sing to the Lord and bless the Lord’s Name; proclaim the good news of salvation from day to day. Declare the glory of the Lord among the nations and the wonders of the Lord among all peoples. For great is the Lord and greatly to be praised; more to be feared than all gods. O sing unto the Lord a new song. Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea thunder and all that is in it; let the field be joyful and all that is therein. Then shall all the trees of the wood shout for joy before the Lord who is coming, who is coming to judge the earth. The Lord will judge the world with righteousness and the peoples with truth. O sing unto the Lord a new song.

The Sermon
The people sit.
The Nicene Creed All We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.
The people stand.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: [All may bow]
by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man.
The Very Rev. Dr. Jane Shaw Dean
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
The Prayers of the People The deacon leads the prayers. After each petition God, grant us peace. The Bishop concludes with a collect.

Gloria
Angels we have heard on high, singing sweetly through the night, and the mountains in reply echoing their brave delight. Gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why these songs of happy cheer? What great brightness did you see? What glad tidings did you hear? Gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria 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. Gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria in excelsis Deo. See him in a manger laid whom the angels praise above; Mary, Joseph, lend your aid, while we raise our hearts in love. Gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria in excelsis Deo.

Invitation to Communion
The Bishop invites the people to come forward for Communion. All who seek God and are drawn to Christ are welcome at God’s table. Gluten-free Communion wafers are available at the north altar rail.
For a variety of reasons, it is our custom to consume the Bread and sip the Wine directly from the cup. You are invited to guide the cup by grasping its base. If you choose not to receive either the Bread or the Wine, simply cross your arms over your chest and respond “A men” when it is presented.

Motet
How do you capture the wind on the water? How do you count all the stars in the sky? How can you measure the love of a mother, or how can you write down a baby’s first cry?
Choir
Candlelight, angel light, firelight and starglow shine on his cradle till breaking of dawn. Gloria, Gloria in excelsis deo! Angels are singing; the Christ Child is born.
Shepherds and wisemen will kneel and adore him, Seraphim round him their vigil will keep; Nations proclaim him their Lord and their Savior, but Mary will hold him and sing him to sleep. Candlelight...
Find him at Bethlehem laid in a manger: Christ our Redeemer asleep in the hay. Godhead incarnate and hope of salvation: A child with his mother that first Christmas Day. Candlelight...

Hark! the herald angels sing glory to the newborn 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 newborn King!
Christ, by highest heav’n 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 newborn King!
Mild he lays his glory by, born that we no more may die, born to raise us from the earth, born to give us second birth. Ris’n with healing in his wings, light and life to all he brings, hail, the Sun of Righteousness! hail, the heaven-born Prince of Peace! Hark! the herald angels sing glory to the newborn King!
