cHrISTmAScArol Joy to the WorldJoy to the world! The Lord has come. Let earth receive her King!Let every 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 Savior 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 proveThe glories of His righteousness, and wonders of His love,And wonders of His love, and wonders, wonders of His love.

greeTINg(At this time the children may exit the sanctuary for Bible Time)Away in a manger, no crib for a bed. The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head. The stars in the sky looked down where He lay. The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.

A Christmas Canticle

Angels We Have Heard On HighAngels we have heard on high, sweetly singing o’er the plains;

And the mountains in reply, echo back their joyous strains.Glo---ria, in excelsis Deo!Glo---ria, in excelsis Deo!

Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why your joyous strains prolong?Say what may the tidings be which inspire your heav’nly song?

Glo---ria, in excelsis Deo!Glo---ria, in excelsis Deo!

Come to Bethlehem and see Him whose birth the angels sing;Come, adore on bended knee Christ the Lord, the newborn King.

Glo---ria, in excelsis Deo!Glo---ria, in excelsis Deo!
