Processional HymnOnce in Royal David’s City
Once in royal Davids city,
Stood a lowly cattle shed,
Where a mother laid her Baby,
In a manger for His bed:
Mary was that 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, and mean, and lowly,
Lived on earth our Saviour holy.
For He 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 cares when we are sad,
And he shares when we are glad.
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.
First Verse Solo
Second Verse Choir Only
O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love
O morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the King
And Peace to men on earth
How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven.
No ear may hear His coming,
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive him still,
The dear Christ enters in.
O Little Town Of Bethlehem
Continued overleaf
O holy Child of Bethlehem
Descend to us, we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in
Be born to us today
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us
Our Lord Emmanuel
O Little Town Of Bethlehem
Continued from overleaf
Silent Night
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ, the Saviour is born
Christ, the Saviour is born
Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love’s pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
God rest ye merry, gentlemenLet nothing you dismay
Remember, Christ, our SaviourWas born on Christmas day
To save us all from Satan’s powerWhen we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy,Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
In Bethlehem, in Israel,This blessed Babe was bornAnd laid within a mangerUpon this blessed morn
The which His Mother MaryDid nothing take in scorn
O tidings of comfort and joy,Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
From God our Heavenly FatherA blessed Angel came;
And unto certain ShepherdsBrought tidings of the same:
How that in Bethlehem was bornThe Son of God by Name.
O tidings of comfort and joy,Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen
"Fear not then," said the Angel,"Let nothing you affright,This day is born a SaviourOf a pure Virgin bright,
To free all those who trust in HimFrom Satan's power and might."
O tidings of comfort and joy,Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
The shepherds at those tidingsRejoiced much in mind,
Andlefttheirflocksa-feedingIn tempest, storm and wind:
And went to Bethlehem straightwayTheSonofGodtofind.
O tidings of comfort and joy,Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
And when they came to BethlehemWhere our dear Saviour lay,They found Him in a manger,
Where oxen feed on hay;His Mother Mary kneeling down,
Unto the Lord did pray.O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joyO tidings of comfort and joy
Now to the Lord sing praises,All you within this place,
And with true love and brotherhoodEach other now embrace;This holy tide of Christmas
All other doth deface.O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joyO tidings of comfort and joy

Born to give them second birth
