Noah – A boat full of animals
Rainbow (Hillsong kids)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1LAHPTXqbw
It’s not a secret, It’s not a fairytale,
It’s not made up, Jonah was in the whale,
For three whole days, 1- 2 - 3!
The greatest treasure, The word God’s people wrote,
Its in the Bible, Where Noah built a boat,
And it rained and rained,
Refarain:
The rainbow's in the sky,
To show God’s promises are true,
The rainbow's in the sky to show the world,
He’s the only way,
For your everyday.
(repeat from beginning)
Abraham – A test of love
83 the Benedictus (vs 2 and 3)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15AccZAcdpk (tune only)
The prophets tell a story just begun
Of vanquished foe and glorious vict'ry won,
Of promise made to all who keep the law as guide:
God's faithful love and mercy will abide.
This is the oath once sworn to Abraham:
All shall be free to dwell upon the land,
Free now to praise, unharmed by the oppressor's rod,
Holy and righteous in the sight of God.
Jacob – A stairway to heaven
Jacob's ladder: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1embLnaHkA

We are climbing Jacob's ladder (3x)
brothers, sisters all.
Every rung goes higher, higher (3x)
brothers, sisters all.
Rise, shine, give God the glory. (3x)
brothers, sisters all.
Joseph – The dreamer
Any dream will do
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b--IfKKC9pk
JOSEPH:
I close my eyes, drew back the curtain
To see for certain, what I thought I knew
Far far away, someone was weeping
But the world was sleeping
Any dream will do
JOSEPH and CHILDREN:
I wore my coat (I wore my coat),
with golden lining (Ahhh)
Bright colors shining (Ahhhh),
wonderful and new
And in the east (and in the east),
the dawn was breaking (Ahhh)
And the world was waking (Ahhhh)
Any dream will do
JOSEPH:
A crash of drums, a flash of light
My golden coat flew out of sight
The colors faded into darkness
I was left alone
JOSEPH and CHILDREN
May I return (May I return)
to the beginning (Ahhh)
The light is dimming (Ahhhh),
and the dream is too
The world and I (The world and I),
we are still waiting (Ahhh)
Still hesitating (Ahhhh)
Any dream will do
David – The Shepherd King
970 Be thou my vision (vs. 3 and 4)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EYYbwEqDlg
Be Thou my breastplate, my sword for the fight;
Be Thou my armour, and be Thou my might;
Thou my soul’s shelter, and Thou my high tower:
Raise Thou me heav’nward, O Power of my power.
Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine inheritance through all of my days;
Thou and Thou only, the first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my treasure Thou art!
Solomon – The Wisdom of a King
970 Be thou my vision (vs. 1 and 2)
Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art.
Thou my best thought in the day and the night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
Be Thou my wisdom, be Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
Mary – The Mother of Jesus
113 The Angel Gabriel
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GF2BzUDeTkY (lyrics in video details)
The angel Gabriel from Heaven came,
His wings as drifted snow, his eyes as flame;
“All hail,” said he, “thou lowly maiden Mary,
Most highly favoured lady,” Gloria!
“For known a blessèd mother thou shalt be,
All generations laud and honour thee,
Thy Son shall be Emmanuel, by seers foretold,
Most highly favoured lady,” Gloria!
Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her head,
“To me be as it pleaseth God,” she said,
“My soul shall laud and magnify His holy Name.”
Most highly favoured lady, Gloria!

tenor: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLrwT6l648w
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.
Silent night, holy night.
Shepherds quake at the sight,
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia;
Christ, the Saviour is born,
Christ, the Saviour is born.
Wise Men
150 The First Nowell (verses 2 and 3)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mItWsC8RtM
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the East beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night.
Refrain:
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Born is the King of Israel!
And by the light of that same star
Three Wise men came from country far
To seek for a King was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went. (Refrain)
Then entered in those wise men three
Full reverently upon their knee
And offered there in His presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense. (Refrain)
Procession to the crib
137 Away in a manger
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9v8vBmbGlis
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head
The stars in the bright sky looked down where He lay,
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus no crying He makes
I love Thee, Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky,
And stay by my side until morning is nigh.
Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever, and love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care
And fit us for heaven, to live with Thee there
Offertory hymn 170 We three kings
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3KdCDtbrRo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lx35_DRIZ8g
We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain
Following yonder star.
Refrain:
O Star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect light.
Born a King on Bethlehem plain,
Gold I bring, to crown Him again,
King forever, ceasing never,
Over us all to reign. (Refrain)
Frankincense to offer have I,
Incense owns a Deity nigh.
Pray'r and praising, all are raising
Worship Him, God most high. (Refrain)
Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom;
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying,
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb. (Refrain)
Glorious now behold Him arise,
King and God and sacrifice.
"Alleluia, alleluia!"
Earth to heaven replies. (Refrain)
Sanctus: 570s Holy, Holy, Holy (The Revised Gathering Mass)

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord,
Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts.
Heaven and earth, Heaven and earth
are full of your glory, Lord God of hosts.
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna in the highest.
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna in the highest.
Blessed, blessed is he who comes,
Blessed, blessed is he who comes,

Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna in the highest
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna in the highest

When we eat this Bread and drink this Cup,
we proclaim your Death, O Lord,
we proclaim your Death, O Lord,
until you come again.

Communion hymns
Oh holy night (sheet music)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5n6X9sUznI
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPcecW357RE
O holy night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of our dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
'Til He appear'd 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 angels' voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born;
O night divine, O night, O night Divine.
Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,
Here come the wise men from Orient land.
The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger;
In all our trials born to be our friend.
He knows our need, to our weakness is no stranger,
Behold your King! Before Him lowly bend!
Behold your King, Before Him lowly bend!
Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains shall He 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 power and glory evermore proclaim.
His power and glory evermore proclaim.
Mary, did you know?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1oHJR2g7Tw
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will one day walk on water?
Did you know
That your baby boy will save our sons and daughters?
Did you know
That your baby boy has come to make you new?
This child that youve delivered
Will soon deliver you
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?
Did you know
That your baby boy will calm a storm with his hand?
Did you know
That your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
And when you kiss your little baby
Youve kissed the face of god
Mary, did you know?
The blind will see
The deaf will hear
And the dead will live again
The lame will leap
The dumb will speak
The praises of the lamb
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy is lord of all creation?
Did you know
That your baby boy will one day rule the nations?
Did you know
That your baby boy is heavens perfect lamb?
This sleeping child you're holding
Is the great "I am"
Final hymn
164 Go, tell it on the mountain
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKj0Zoj5dqE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yd02dhWBV3w
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKE8AJikvmk
Refrain
Go, tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born.
While shepherds kept their watching
Over silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light. (Refrain)
The shepherds feared and trembled,
When lo! above the earth,
Rang out the angels chorus
That hailed the Saviour’s birth. (Refrain)
Down in a lowly manger
The humble Christ was born
And God sent us salvation
That blessèd Christmas morn. (Refrain)
