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!

Of her, Emmanuel, the Christ, was born
In Bethlehem, all on a Christmas morn,
And Christian folk throughout the world will ever say
“Most highly favoured lady,” Gloria!


343 Where are you bound, Mary?

(Refrain)
Where are you bound, Mary, Mary ?
Where are you bound, Mother of God ?

Beauty is a dove sitting on a sunlit bough, b
beauty is a prayer without the need of words.
Words are more than sounds, falling off an empty tongue:
let it be according to his word. (Refrain)

Mary heard the word spoken in her inmost heart;
Mary bore the word and held him in her arms.
Sorrow she has known, seeing him upon the cross
-greater joy to see him rise again.  (Refrain)

Where are we all bound, carrying the Word of God ?
Time and place are ours to make his glory known.
Mary bore him first, we will tell the whole wide world ;
Let it be according to his word. (Refrain)


Final:  819  Make way, make way (for Christ the King)  

Make way, make way for Christ the King
in splendour arrives,
Fling wide the gates and welcome Him
into your lives.

CHORUS:
Make way, (make way),
Make way, (make way),
for the King of kings, (for the King of kings)
Make way, (make way),
Make way, (make way),
and let His kingdom in.

He comes the broken hearts to heal
the prisoners to free,
The deaf shall hear, the lame shall dance,
the blind shall see.

And those who mourn with heavy hearts,
who weep and sigh;
With laughter, joy and royal crown
He'll beautify.

We call you now to worship Him
as Lord of all;
To have no gods before Him
their thrones must fall!

The Accouncement to the Shepherds 133 While Shepherds watch v1,2 & 3

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSyUvOUZwxQ

While shepherds watched
Their flocks by night
All seated on the ground
The angel of the Lord came down
And glory shone around
And glory shone around

"Fear not," he said,
For mighty dread
Had seized their troubled minds
"Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind,
To you and all mankind."

"To you in David's
Town this day
Is born of David's line
The Savior who is Christ the Lord
And this shall be the sign
And this shall be the sign."

The Birth of Jesus 127 O little town of Bethlehm v1 & 4

O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight

O holy Child of Bethlehem
Descend to us, we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in
Be born in us today
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us
Our Lord Emmanuel

The Wise Men come with gifts for Jesus 170 We three Kings v1 & 2

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.

Frankincense to offer have I,
Incense owns a Deity nigh.
Pray'r and praising, all are raising
Worship Him, God most high. (Refrain)

Time and place are ours to make his glory known.
Mary bore him first, we will tell the whole wide world ;

Jesus our King 128 Once in Royal David City
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRIZ22dn-XY

Once in royal Davids city,
stood a lowly cattle shed,
where a mother laid her baby,
in a manger for His bed:
Mary was that Mother mild,
Jesus Christ, her little Child.

He came down to earth from heaven,
who is God and Lord of all,
and His shelter was a stable,
and His cradle was a stall:
with the poor, and mean, and lowly,
lived on earth our Saviour holy.


Blessing of the Crib 137 Away in a manager v1
Blessing of the Crib (procession back to their places) 137 Away in a manager v3

137 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 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 145 What child is this

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?
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
come, greet the infant Lord,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!

Why lies He in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear; for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading.
Nails, spear, shall pierce Him through,
The cross be borne, for me, for you:
Hail, hail, the Word made flesh,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh,
Come peasant, king, to own Him.
The King of kings salvation brings;
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
Raise, raise, the song on high,
The Virgin sings her lullaby:
Joy joy for Christ is born,

The Babe, the Son of Mary!

Holy Holy 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,
Blessed is he, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna in the highest
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna in the highest

Mem Acc.: 571b Memorial Acc. 2 (The Revised Gathering Mass) – melody only

Communion 1 150 The First Nowell

The First Nowell 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.

Refrain:
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Born is the King of Israel!

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)

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)

This star drew nigh to the north-west
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest,
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay.
(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)

Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
That hath made Heaven and earth of nought

And with his blood mankind has bought. (Refrain)

Communion 2 : 136 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.

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.

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.

Communion 3 What kind of Throne  
http://www.resoundworship.org/song/what_kind_of_throne

What kind of throne is a manger of hay?
No majesty shown there, no dignity claimed,
for one who deserves to be
crowned and enthroned on our praise?

What kind of king is so modestly born,
when glory unmeasured is humble and small?
This is the hope of the world
and the true light of all.

Refrain:
So I'll bow down to worship the humblest of kings
and I'll bring him the best that I have;
I'll say that I love him, and that I am his,
and I'll give him the throne of my heart,
I'll give him the throne of my heart.

What kind of Saviour makes weakness his strength,
in frailty depending on those he would save,
and veiling the power that always belonged to his name?

What kind of child causes heaven to sing,
with angels proclaiming the hope that he brings?
This is the glory of God, this is Jesus, the King.
Final Hymn 156 Joy to the world (key of C)


Joy to the world, the Lord has come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let ev'ry heart prepare Him room,
And heav'n and nature sing,
And heav'n and nature sing,
And heav'n, and heav'n and nature sing.

Joy to the earth, the Saviour reigns;
Let all their songs employ,
While fields and flocks,
rocks, hills, and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.

No more let sins and sorrows grow,
nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make his blessings flow
far as the curse is found,
far as the curse is found,
far as, far as the curse is found.

He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
the wonders of His love,
the wonders of His love,
the wonders, wonders of His love.
