We have come together in the presence of God our heavenly Father, to give Him thanks and praise for the gift of His Son, our meek and righteous King, who, by His death became our Savior from sin and eternal death. By His Holy Spirit may He enlighten, govern and direct us that we may ever remain faithful to this righteous King and Savior, and not be offended by His humble form and despised Word, but, firmly believing in Him, obtain eternal salvation and the fullness of joy in heaven. To this end may God the Father grant us His grace, through our Lord Jesus Christ. All: Amen. Liturgist: Daughter of Zion, surely your salvation is coming. All: Rejoice, Daughter of Jerusalem! The Lord will cause His glorious voice to be heard, And you shall have gladness of heart. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, You who lead Joseph like a flock; Stir up Your strength and come and save us! Unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given. Sing to the Lord a new song For He has done marvelous things! (Everyone may be seated) Coventry Carol; Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring setting by C. Custer Hymn: Jesus Came, The Heavens Adoring................................................................. ELH 89, 1-5 1.Jesus came, the heav’ns adoring, Came with peace from realms on high; Lowly came on earth to die, Alleluia! Alleluia! Came in deep humility. 2.Jesus comes again in mercy, When our hearts are bowed with care; Jesus comes again in answer To a faithful, trusting prayer, Alleluia! Alleluia! Comes to save us from despair. 3.Jesus comes to hearts rejoicing, Bringing news of sins forgiv’n; Jesus comes in sounds of gladness, Leading souls redeemed to heav’n. Alleluia! Alleluia! Now the gate of death is riv’n. 4.Jesus comes in joy and sorrow, Shares alike our hopes and fears; Jesus comes, whate’er befalls us, Glads our hearts, and dries our tears; Alleluia! Alleluia! Cheering e’en our failing years. 3 5.Jesus comes on clouds triumphant; When the heav’ns shall pass away. Jesus comes again in glory; Let us then our homage pay, “Alleluia” ever singing; Till the dawn of endless day. Suscepit Israel from Magnificat in D Suscepit Israel puerum suum: recordatus misericordiae suae. He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of His mercy. What Are The Signs What are the signs of the morning, God who created the light? Speak through the gloom that enfolds us, when breaks the dawn on our sight? When comes the end of our night? These be the tokens of promise, One is a bright star above, One a poor child in a manger, symbols of faith and of love, Hope comes with faith and with love. Lesson: Psalm 103:8-11 J.S. Bach, 1685-1750 Luke 1:54 A. Burt, 1920-1954 B. Burt, 1878-1948 The Lord is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy. He will not always strive with us, Nor will He keep His anger forever. He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor punished us according to our iniquities. For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him; As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us. When the Son of God was Born In the darkness o’er Judea, in the silence of the night As Bethlehem lay dreaming ‘neath the still and starry skies, Holy angels came rejoicing, bright with glory like the dawn And set the heavens singing when the Son of God was born. In the darkness o’er Judea, newly kindled o’er the earth, A wondrous star was gleaming to proclaim Messiah’s birth, And as wise men came a seeking, Heaven’s light went on before, And set their hearts a singing when the Son of God was born. In the silence of a stable, in a manger sweet with hay, The Holy Child lay sleeping ‘ere the coming of the day, And the light of love descending ‘round the cradle of the Lord, Set the world a-singing, when the Son of God was born. 4 S. DeFord, 2006 Hymn: Thy Little Ones...............................................................................................ELH 144:1,5 1.Thy little ones, dear Lord, are we, And come Thy lowly bed to see; Enlighten ev’ry soul and mind, That we the way to Thee may find. 5.O draw us wholly to Thee, Lord, Do Thou to us Thy grace accord, True faith and love to us impart, That we may hold Thee in our heart. Go Where I Send Thee! Children go where I send thee! How shall I send thee? I’m gonna send thee one by one, one for the little bitty baby, The baby boy born in Bethlehem! Arr. P. Caldwell and S. Ivory, 1995 Children go where I send thee! How shall I send thee? I’m gonna send thee two by two, two for Paul and Silas, one for the little bitty baby… I’m gonna send thee six by six, six for the days when the world was fixed. Five for the bread they did divide, Four for the Gospel writers, Three for the Hebrew children, Two… Children go, go, go where I send thee! How shall I send thee? I’m gonna send thee twelve by twelve, twelve for the twelve disciples, Eleven of them singing in heaven, Ten for the Ten Commandments, Nine for the angel choirs divine, Eight for the eight the flood couldn’t take, Seven for the day God laid down His head, Six for the days… Children go where I send thee! Hymn: As With Gladness.......................................................................................ELH 168:1, 2, 4 1.As with gladness men of old Did the guiding star behold; As with joy they hailed its light, Leading onward, beaming bright; So, most gracious Lord, may we Evermore be led by Thee. 2.As with joyful steps they sped, Savior, to Thy lowly bed, There to bend the knee before Thee whom heav’n and earth adore, So may we with willing feet Ever seek Thy mercy-seat! 5 4.Holy Jesus, ev’ry day Keep us in the narrow way; And when earthly things are past. Bring our ransomed souls at last Where they need no star to guide, Where no clouds Thy glory hide. Lay Down Your Staffs French Carol, Arranged for the Trapp Family Singers by F. Wasner, 1941 Lay down your staffs, O shepherds, leave your sheep! From hamlets come, your flocks will silent keep; Come, weep no more; Your souls with joy renew, Come, hasten to adore the Christ who comes to comfort you. There you will see Him lying in a stable, An infant poor, and languishing and feeble; O wondrous love of Him, our faithful Shepherd, Who comes that we might live. He is the faithful Shepherd! Bring a Torch Bring a torch, Jeanette, Isabella, Bring a torch and quickly run. Christ is born, good folk of the village, Christ is born and Mary’s calling, Ah, beautiful is the mother; Ah, beautiful is her Son. Quiet all, nor waken Jesus, Quiet all and whisper low. Silence all and gather around him, Talk and noise might waken Jesus; Hush, hush, quietly now he slumbers, Hush, hush, quietly now he sleeps. Come and look within the stable, Come and see the holy one. Come and see the lovely Jesus, Peaceful his brow, his cheeks are rosy; Hush, hush, quietly now he slumbers, Hush, hush, quietly now he sleeps. A Hymn on the Nativity of My Saviour I sing the birth was born tonight, The Author both of life and light: The angels so did sound it; And like the ravished shepherds said, Who saw the light and were afraid, Yet searched, and true they found it. The Son of God, th’eternal King, That did us all salvation bring, And freed the world from danger, He whom the whole world could not take, The Lord which heav’n and earth did make, Was now laid in a manger. Arr. M. Schweizer, 2012 A. Sullivan, 1842-1900 The Father’s wisdom willed it so, The Son’s obedience knew no “No,” Both wills were in one stature; And, as that wisdom hath decreed, The Word was now made flesh indeed, And took on Him our nature. What comfort by Him do we win, Who made Himself the price of sin, To make us heirs of glory! To see this Babe, all innocence, A martyr born in our defense— Can man forget this story? B. Jonson, 1573-1637 6 Lesson: John 1:1-4, 14 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. Hymn: Lift Up Your Heads.......................................................................................... ELH 92:1-3 1.Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates! Behold, the King of Glory waits; The King of kings is drawing near, The Savior of the world is here. Life and salvation He doth bring, Wherefore rejoice and gladly sing: We praise Thee, Father, now, Creator, wise art Thou! 3.O blest the land, the city blest, Where Christ the Ruler is confessed! O happy hearts and happy homes To whom this King in triumph comes! The cloudless Sun of joy He is, Who bringeth pure delight and bliss. We praise Thee, Spirit, now, Our Comforter art Thou! 2.A Helper just He comes to thee, His chariot is humility, His kingly crown is holiness, His scepter, pity in distress, The end of all our woe He brings; Wherefore the earth is glad and sings: We praise Thee, Savior, now, Mighty in deed art Thou! The Holy Child: The Angel, Op. 37, No. 1 I am Gabriel, that stands in the presence of God, And I am sent to speak unto thee, And to show thee these glad tidings. Thou shalt bring forth a Son H. Parker, 1893 And shall call His Name Jesus, For He shall save His people from their sins; And thou shalt call His Name Jesus. I.G. Parker, based on Luke 1:19,31 and Matthew 1:21 7 Savior of the Nations, Come Savior of the nations, come, Virgin’s son, make here Thy home! Marvel now, O heav’n and earth, That the Lord chose such a birth. From the Father forth He came And returneth to the same, M. Luther, Arr. G. H. Toole, 2014 Captive leading death and hell— High the song of triumph swell! Brightly doth Thy manger shine, Glorious is its light divine. Let not sin o’ercloud this light; Ever be our faith thus bright. M. Luther, 1483-1546 My Soul, There Is a Country from Songs of Farewell My soul, there is a country, far beyond the stars, Where stands a wingèd sentry, All skillful in the wars. There, above noise and danger, Sweet peace sits crowned with smiles, And One born in a manger Commands the beauteous files. He is thy gracious Friend, And (O my soul, awake!) Did in pure love descend, To die here for thy sake. If thou canst get but thither, There grows the flower of peace, The Rose that cannot wither, Thy Fortress, and thy Ease. Leave, then, thy foolish ranges; For none can thee secure But One, who never changes, Thy God, thy Life, thy Cure. C.H.H. Parry, 1848-1918 H. Vaughan, Silex Scintillans, or Sacred Poems, 1650 Hymn: On Mary, Virgin Undefiled.................................. ELH 268:1, 2,5 (all may stand to sing) 1. On Mary, Virgin undefiled, Did God bestow His favor; She bore a Son, the spotless Child, To Him be praise forever! He hath us all from sin set free; Our stay be He, And rest eternal give us! 5.O could I speak in ev’ry tongue, The Scripture’s deep expounding, Were in my mouth the angel’s song That through high heav’n is sounding, I on my knees would humbly fall, On Jesus call, And worship Him forever! 2.Were all the sages here below All human wisdom showing, The mystery of Christ to know Were far beyond their knowing; For full of grace and truth is He; O may He be Our comfort in our dying! Lesson: Matthew 11:28, 29 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 8 The Holy Child: The Manger Throne, Op. 37, No. 4 Christ, the King of kings, and Lord of lords, Seeks the poorest shelter earth affords, Yet that manger is a glorious throne For Messiah, come unto His own. Hail Him, come unto His own. Angel hosts in wonder o’er it bend, This new mystery to comprehend. Bright above the portal shines the star. Christ, the King… H. Parker I. G. Parker, 1839-1904 Hymn: O Jesus Christ, Thy Manger is My Paradise..................................................ELH 161:1,4 1.O Jesus Christ, Thy manger is My paradise at which my soul reclineth. For there, O Lord, Doth lie the Word Made flesh for us—herein Thy grace forth shineth. 4.Thou Christian heart, Whoe’er thou art, Be of good cheer and let no sorrow move thee! For God’s own Child, In mercy mild, Joins thee to Him—how greatly God must love thee! Gratias Agimus Tibi from Mass in b minor Gratias agimus tibi propter magnam gloriam tuam. We give thanks to Thee for Thy great glory. J.S. Bach, 1685-1750 From “Gloria in excelsis Deo,” liturgical hymn Hymn: God Rest You Merry ...................................................... ELH 126 (all may stand to sing) 1.God rest you merry, gentlemen, Let nothing you dismay, For Jesus Christ our Saviour, Was born on Christmas Day To save us all from Satan’s pow’r When we were gone astray. O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy. 2.From God our heav’nly Father A blessed angel came; And unto certain shepherds Brought tidings of the same: How that in Bethlehem was born The son of God by name. O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy. 9 4.Now to the Lord sing praises, All you within this place, In Christian faith and charity Each other now embrace, This holy tide of Christmas Reveals to us God’s grace. O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy. 3.“Fear not” then said the angel, “Let nothing you affright; This day is born a Savior A Babe of glorious might. See, death and hell and Satan This child shall put to flight.” O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy. (an offering will be received) Of the Father’s Love Begotten Kling, Glöckchen Arr. K. McChesney, 2001 Arr. Susan E. Geschke, 1999 Hymn: Hark, the Herald Angels Sing.......................................................................ELH 125:1–4 1.Hark! The herald angels sing, “Glory to the new-born 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 new-born King!” 3.Hail, the heav’nly Prince of Peace! Hail, the Sun of Righteousness! Light and life to all He brings, Ris’n with healing in His wings. Mild, He leaves His throne on high, Born that man no more may die; Born to raise the sons of earth; Born to give them second birth, Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the new-born King!” 2.Christ, by highest heav’n adored, Christ, the everlasting Lord, Late in time behold Him come, Offspring of a Virgin’s womb. Veiled in flesh the Godhead see, Hail th’incarnate Deity! Pleased as Man with man to dwell; Jesus, our Immanuel! Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the new-born King!” 4.Come, Desire of Nations, come, Fix in us Thy humble home; Rise, the women’s conqu’ring Seed, Bruise in us the serpent’s head. Adam’s likeness, Lord, efface; Print Thine image in its place; O to all Thyself impart, Formed in each believing heart. Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the new-born King!” 10 O Holy Night O holy night! The stars are brightly shining It is the night of the dear Savior’s birth! Long lay the world in sin and error pining Till 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 angel voices O night divine, O night when Christ was born 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. A.C.Adams, 1803-1856, arr. S. DeForest, A. Lo Truly He taught us to love one another His Law is love and His Gospel is peace Chains shall He break, even death is defeated, And by his Cross sin’s 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 pow’r and glory, evermore proclaim. P. Cappeau de Roquemaure, 1847, tr. J. S. Dwight, 1812-1893, alt. Hymn: From Heav’n Above to Earth I Come.... ELH 123:1,2,3,8,10,13 (all may stand to sing) 1. “From heav’n above to earth I come To bear good news to ev’ry home; Glad tidings of great joy I bring, Whereof I now will say and sing: 8. Welcome to earth, Thou noble Guest, Through whom the sinful world is blest! Thou com’st to share my misery; What can we render, Lord, to Thee? 2. “To you this night is born a child Of Mary, chosen Virgin mild; This little child, of lowly birth, Shall be the joy of all the earth. 10.Were earth a thousand times as fair, Beset with gold and jewels rare, It yet were far too poor to be A narrow cradle, Lord, for Thee. 3. ’Tis Christ, our God who far on high Hath heard your sad and bitter cry; Himself will your salvation be Himself from sin will make you free.” 13.Ah, dearest Jesus, holy Child, Make Thee a bed, soft, undefiled, Within my heart, that it may be A quiet chamber kept for Thee. 11 Prayer and Blessing Lord God, heavenly Father, we give thanks to You that of Your mercy and compassion You caused Your Son to become incarnate, and through Him redeemed us from sin and everlasting death: We beseech You, enlighten our hearts by Your Holy Spirit, that we may ever be thankful for such grace, and comfort ourselves thereby in all tribulation and temptation, and at last obtain eternal salvation; through the same, Your beloved Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one true God, now and forever. All: Amen. Let us bless the Lord. Thanks be to God. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God And the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen. Alleluia! O Rejoice, Ye Christians, Loudly......................... ELH 163:1-4, with twelve-fold Alleluia Choir: Alleluia! All: 1. O rejoice, ye Christians, loudly, For our joy hath now begun; Wondrous things our God hath done. Tell abroad His goodness proudly, Who our race hath honored thus, That He deigns to dwell with us. Joy, O joy, beyond all gladness, Christ hath done away with sadness! Hence, all sorrow and repining, for the Sun of Grace is shining! 2. See, my soul, thy Savior chooses Weakness here and poverty; In such love He comes to thee. Nor the manger bed refuses, All He suffers for thy good To redeem thee by His blood. Joy, O joy, beyond all gladness, Christ hath done away with sadness! Hence, all sorrow and repining, for the Sun of Grace is shining! 3. Lord, how shall I thank Thee rightly? I acknowledge that by Thee I am saved eternally. Let me not forget it lightly But to Thee at all times cleave, And my heart true peace receive. Joy, O joy, beyond all gladness, Christ hath done away with sadness! Hence, all sorrow and repining, for the Sun of Grace is shining! 12 setting, A. Lo 4.
