Service of Lessons and CarolsService of Lessons and CarolsDecember 24, 2020 • 5:00 p.m.December 24, 2020 • 5:00 p.m.
Please know that, in recording all the parts of this liturgy — spoken, sung and played — we have carefully observed responsible norms of social distancing.
Please join in reading or singing those parts of the service printed in bold.
This worship service is inspired by the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols, held on Christmas Eve for the last 102 years at King’s College,Cambridge, England.
The Advent Wreath has accompanied us through the four weeks of the season of spiritual preparation for the coming of Christ. The four candles — kindled with our prayers for hope, peace, joy and love — greet us tonight as we gather to welcome the Light of Christ in the center of the perfect evergreen circle symbolizing the living eternity of God.
PRE-SERVICE MUSICAs the music begins, let the time and the music help to center you for worship.

CALL TO WORSHIP The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light,for a child has been born for us, a son given to us!Glory to God in the highest heaven!Let us worship the Prince of Peace.
CAROL 140 Once in Royal David’s City irby Andrew McInchak, soloist
All carol music is found after the Order of Worship. After the solo stanza, the congregation will join in signing stanzas 2, 3, and 4.
PRAYER OF CONFESSIONGod of Good News,The story of Your coming to dwell among us stretches our minds and hearts. How shall we make room for You among our habits and assumptions?You promise favor among the lowly, the poor, the forgotten – but we have seen them with the eyes of business as usual.You bid us not to fear the voices of tyrants and power-mongers – but we have heard them with ears of cautious compliance. You ask us to believe that peace is possible, that hope will triumph,that the light of love is stronger than darkness.
PRAYER FOR ILLUMINATION Gracious God,by the gift of your Holy Spiritshow us the Word made flesh –good news of great joy for all –so that we may sing with the angels:glory in the highest and peace on earth;through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
FIRST LESSON Genesis 3 (selected verses)
CAROL A Child My Choice Richard Dirksen
Text: Robert Southwell Choral Ensemble
Let folly praise that fancy loves, I praise and love that ChildWhose heart no thought, whose tongue no word, whose hand no deed defiled.I praise him most, I love him best, all praise and love is his;While him I love, in him I live, and cannot live amiss.
Love’s sweetest mark, laud’s highest theme, one’s most desired light,To love him life, to leave him death, to live in him delight.He mine by gift, I his by debt, thus each to other due, First friend he was, best friend he is, all times will try him true.
Though young, yet wise, though small, yet strong; though man, yet God he is;As wise he knows, as strong he can, as God he loves to bliss.His knowledge rules, his strength defends, his love doth cherish all; His birth our joy, his life our light, his death our end of thrall.
Alas! he weeps, he sighs, he pants, yet do his angels sing;Out of his tears, his sighs and throbs, doth bud a joyful spring.Almighty Babe, whose tender arms can force all foes to fly, Correct my faults, protect my life, direct me when I die!

FOURTH LESSON Luke 2:1–7
CAROL How Still He Rests Brent PierceChoral Ensemble
How still the child rests in quiet splendor.How peacefully he lies in the manger so bare.He rests in peace while the angels in heaven sing Glory to God on the night of his birth.
Sleep on, Oh infant divine. How quiet the night.O sleep, little child, sleep on.
O holy child, son of God, hear us praise thee.Our hearts sing with joy on this night of your birth.How still he rests. How still he lies asleep.
FIFTH LESSON Luke 2:8–20
CAROL Make We Joy Edwin FissingerChoral Ensemble
Make we joy, now in this feast. In quo Christus natus est; Eya. A patre unigenitus through a maiden is come to us.Sing we of him and say “welcome” Veni Redemptor gentium.
Our singers are wearing special masks with extra filter protection inside and an extended frontal piece. The singers are practicing social distancing as they sing.
Advent Paraments and Stoles were commissioned and made by quilter and artist, Beth Taylor of Durham, NC, for the pulpit, lectern, communion table, and stoles for our pastors. The front banners are new this year.
Advent Paper-lace Banners were designed by liturgical artist Ellen Phillips and were cut by members of First Pres.
Make We Joy:Latin Translation (“Eya” is Middle English)...in which Christ is born. Welcome…...only-begotten from the Father…...Come, Redeemer of the nations.
SIXTH LESSON Matthew 2:1–12
CAROL What Child Is This? greensleeves Virtual Chancel Choir
SEVENTH LESSON John 1 (selected verses)
(The Christ Candle is lit, and a moment of silence is kept.)
One: And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.All: And we have seen his glory, full of grace and truth. And from his fullness we have all received grace upon grace.
CAROL 133 O Come, All Ye Faithful adeste fideles
OFFERING OF TITHES AND GIFTS
Offertory I Wonder as I Wander arr. Steve Pilkington Choral Ensemble
I wonder as I wander, out under the sky, how Jesus the Savior did come for to diefor poor orn’ry people like you and like I. I wonder as I wander out under the sky.
When Mary birthed Jesus, ’twas in a cow’s stall with wise men and farmers and shepherds and all.But high from God’s heaven a star’s light did fall, and the promise of the ages it did then recall.
If Jesus had wanted any wee thing, a star in the sky, or a bird on wing,All of God’s angels in heaven sing, he surly could have had it, ’cause he was the king.
A PRAYER FOR THE WORLD
THE LORD’S PRAYEROur Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.
THE SERVICE OF LIGHT
CAROL SING Joy to the World Virtual Chancel ChoirJoy 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 earth, the Savior reigns!Let all their songs employ,while fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plainsrepeat the sounding joy,repeat the sounding joy,repeat, repeat the sounding joy.

CRANHAMIrregular
Though this text describes winter weather in England rather than in Palestine, the poet is using familiarsurroundings as a means of making the Nativity more immediate and personal. The tune name honors aGloucestershire village near the composer’s birthplace in Cheltenham.
