Angels We Have Heard on High (VU 38) Angels we have heard on high Sweetly singing o'er the plains And the mountains in reply Echoing their joyous strains R: Gloria, in excelsis Deo! Gloria, in excelsis Deo!	Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why your joyous strains prolong? What the gladsome tidings be Which inspire your heavenly song? R.	Come to Bethlehem and see Christ whose birth the angels sing; Come, adore on bended knee Christ, the Lord, the newborn King. R. See Him in a manger laid, Whom the choirs of angels praise; Mary, Joseph, lend your aid, While our hearts in love we raise. R.
Are We There Yet?	Is There Room In The Manger For Me?	Luke 1:26-38

- Joseph -

O Come, All Ye Faithful (VU 60) 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: R: O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.

God of God, Light of Light, Lo, he abhors not the Virgin's womb; Very God, Begotten, not created: R. Sing, choirs of angels, Sing in exultation, Sing, all ye citizens of Heaven above! Glory to God In the highest: R.

See how the shepherds Summoned to his cradel, Leaving their flocks, Draw nigh with lowly fear; We too will thithe Bend our joyful steps; R. Yea, Lord, we greet thee, Born this happy morning; Jesus, to thee be glory given! Word of the Father, Now in flesh appearing: R.

Joy to the World (VU 59) Joy to the world! the Lord is come; Let earth receive her King; Let every heart prepare him room, And heaven and nature sing, And heaven and nature sing, And heaven, and heaven, And nature sing.	Joy to the world! The Saviour reigns; Let men their songs employ; While fields and floods, 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, And wonders of His love, And wonders of His love, And wonders, wonders, Of His love.

Even Now

On That First Christmas Night (Newfoundland folk song.) The darkness fell over Bethlehem Whie silent stars cast a silvery light. Then into the silence a baby cried, When God came near on that first Christmas night...

- The Offering is Collected -

Heims Um Ból (Silent Night) (Sung in Icelandic)

Offering Dedication (VU 81, verse 3) As they offered gifts most rare At that manger crude and bare, So may we with holy joy, Pure and free from sin's alloy, All our costliest treasures bring, Christ, to you, our heavenly King.

(The Candlelight Offering is to help Lachine families in need.)

- Shepherd -

While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks (VU 75) While shepherds watched their flocks by night, All seated on the ground, The angel of the Lord came down, And glory shone around. "Fear not," said he, for mighty dread Had seized their troubled minds; "Glad tidings of great joy I bring To you and humankind.

"To you, in David's town, this day, Is born of David's line A Savior, who is Christ the Lord; And this shall be the sign: The heavenly Babe you there shall find To human view displayed, All meanly wrapped in swaddling-bands And in a manger laid."

"All glory be to God on high, And to the earth be peace; Good will to all from highest heaven Begin and never cease."

Until Tonight	Ding Dong Merrily on High
Luke 2:1-7

-- Magi --

We Three Kings We three kings of Orient are Bearing gifts we traverse afar Field and fountain, moor and mountain Following yonder star R: 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's plain Gold I bring to crown him again King forever, ceasing never Over us all to reign R.

Frankincense to offer have I, Incense owns a Deity nigh. Prayer and praising, all men raising, Worship Him, God on high. R. Glorious now behold him arise, King and God and sacrifice: Hallelujah, hallelujah, Sounds through the Earth and skies. R.

Don't Call Me Wise

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

Matthew 2:1-9

And Did It Happen?

Let There Be Peace On Earth

Let there be peace on earth And let it begin with me. Let there be peace on earth The peace that was meant to be. With God as our Father Brothers all are we. Let me walk with my brother In perfect harmony. Let peace begin with me, Let this be the moment now. With ev'ry step I take Let this be my solemn vow; To take each moment and live Each moment in peace eternally. Let there be peace on earth And let it begin with me.

Benediction Reverend Mark Hammond
