  4. Musical Prelude Bringing in the Light of Christ

  5. Call to Worship Psalm 148:1-5 Susan Di Bianca One: Praise the LORD! Many: Praise the LORD from the heavens; praise the LORD in the heights!

  6. Once in Royal David’s City (Hymnal #250) Used By Permission. CCLI License # 11148194

  7. Once in royal David's city stood a lowly cattle shed, where a mother laid her baby in a manger for his bed; Mary, loving 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, the scorned, the lowly lived on earth our Savior holy. 

  8. Jesus is our childhood's pattern; day by day, like us he grew; he was little, weak, and helpless, tears and smiles like us he knew; and he feeleth for our sadness, and he shareth in our gladness. And our eyes at last shall see him, through his own redeeming love; for that child so dear and gentle is our Lord in heaven above; and he leads his children on to the place where he is gone. 

  9. Lighting of the Christmas Candle

  10. Opening Prayer based upon Psalm 148:11-14 Praise the LORD rulers of the earth and all peoples! Young men and women alike, old and young together, we praise the name of the LORD, for GOD’s name alone is exalted; GOD’s glory is above earth and heaven. The LORD has raised up a horn for GOD’s people, so we gather to offer ourselves in thanks and praise. Amen.

  12. Carol What Child is This Hymnal # 219 Used By Permission. CCLI License # 11148194

  13. 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; haste, haste to bring him laud, the babe, the son of Mary. .

  14. Why lies he in such mean estate where ox and ass are feeding? Good Christians, fear, for sinners here the silent Word is pleading.  This, this is Christ the King, whom shepherds guard and angels sing; haste, haste to bring him laud, the babe, the son of Mary. 

  15. So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh, come, peasant, king, to own him; the King of kings salvation brings, let loving hearts enthrone him.  This, this is Christ the King, whom shepherds guard and angels sing; haste, haste to bring him laud, the babe, the son of Mary.
