DAVID You need our help But we donrsquot help adults Our clients are kids


DD But this is a special case David (Directs Ms Jewel to have a seat) Right Cousin Jewel

MS JEWEL (Walks between both seats and asks the audience without speaking which seat she should take she takes the seat with the most applause) Indeed You see Irsquom searching for a doll Actually Irsquom searching for a particular doll the Christmas Baby Jesus

DD Which is four days away Write that down David

MS JEWEL AnywhooDeacon Jones loans his prize winning Nativity Scene to us every year The dear man built the wooden frame and the manger by hand and his late wife May created the Black Baby Jesus doll She wanted the kids to feel connected to Baby Jesus so she made him look like us It would break his heart if he knew that doll was lost

DAVID When was the last time you saw the doll

MS JEWEL Two days ago At first I thought that the doll was returned to the wrong place after practice but after searching all over the church I realized the doll was missing

DD Are you sure itrsquos not in the church

MS JEWEL (nods)

The babyrsquos swaddling is gone along with a toy baby bottle in the nursery and some diapers

DAVID So you think it was stolen

MS JEWEL (shakes her head)

I donrsquot want to think that and I donrsquot want any child punished for taking the doll I just want them to return it

DD Why do you think a kid took it

MS JEWEL Who else would want the doll

DAVID Thatrsquos what we will find out for a nominal fee of course

DD (Pulls out the cash box)

Sorry Cousin Jewel In this economy there are no freebies Family has to pay too

(opens her palm wide)


MS JEWEL (hands DD some money)

When can you get started

DAVID Tomorrow Wersquoll meet you at the church before rehearsal

DD David do you think we can solve this case in time

DAVID With a little help from you(he points at the audience) I think we can

Not actuallyI didnrsquot feel good and I was afraid I my ruin the Baby Jesus so I went to Miss Jewelrsquos office But she wasnrsquot there I really wasnrsquot feeling good by now so I put it in the baby nursery It was closest to her office I wrote a note to tell Miss Jewel where it was When I bent down to slip the note under her office door I got sick on her floor and had to go home

SONG ldquoGod Rest Ye Merry Gentlemenrdquo

(Still in the dining room as background A nativity is too the far left front of the stage)

MOM

The Three Wise Men followed the Eastern Star until it found the Christ child They rejoiced and brought him gifts of prosperity protection amp strength

DAD Before they returned to King Herod an Angel of God stopped them

ANGEL Do not go back to the King He has a plan to hurt the baby

KING 3 See I knew something was up with that king

KING 2 We canrsquot let him know where we are

KING 1 We have to warn Mary and Joseph

ANGEL They are on the way to Egypt And will be taken care of Wersquoll show you another way to your homes so that you wonrsquot confront King Herod

ANGEL and KINGS walk off stage)

DAD (TURNS TO DAVID AND DD)

Now you guys have to get some rest

DD I donrsquot know how because now I think I know where Baby Jesus is and itrsquos in the manger

DAVID (FOLDS HIS ARMS OVER HIS CHEST AND HUFFS)


Oh brother

MOM (Chuckles)

You mean Oh sister Why donrsquot you present both findings to Cousin Jewel tomorrow Who knows you both could be right

DAD And both pray to God for guidance

DD and DAVID OK

DAVID (nudges DD)

Tell me where you think it is before we go to sleep

DD (whispers something to David)

DAVID (his eyes light up)


Scene 2 (SONG your choice)

(MISS JEWEL PASTOR VALENTINE AND DEACON JENKINS ARE SEATED WHEN DD AND DAVID ENTERS)

DAVID

Good Morning

DD We have good news and wersquore glad you are all here

MISS JEWEL Do you know where Baby Jesus is

DAVID and DD (nod)

Yes

DAVID At first we thought that Melissa had misplaced the doll in the nursery

DD (walks toward where Melissa sits)

Since she couldnrsquot find you With Baby Jesus being in the nursery anyone could have taken mistaken the doll for one of the memberrsquos toys

DAVID But then we remembered what Joshua said about Melissa not trusting him with the doll He wanted to prove himself worthy

DD (walks toward Joshua)

Thatrsquos why he moved the doll from the nursery and put him in the manger Like Joseph he wanted to protect Mary and the Baby

MISS JEWEL But hersquos not in the manger

DD (walk towards Deacon Jenkins)

Walks toward Deacon Jenkins Exactly


DAVID Then Mom and Dad told us about the three kings and how they wanted to protect the Baby Jesus after they learned he was in danger The Angel told them that baby had been taken out of the city and would be safe

DD So we thought about where could Baby Jesus go and be safe

(SHE LOOKS AT DEACON JENKINS) Baby Jesus must be with you

Deacon Jenkins Claps and laughs You got me I have the Baby Jesus I saw Joshua place the doll in the manger After he left I took the doll out I went to Miss Jewelrsquos office to put it back in the box but she was caring for Melissa Since everything was so busy I took the baby home I forgot to leave a note that I was returning it in time for rehearsal

(He presents the doll)

DD (frowns)

So you didnrsquot need us after all

MISS JEWEL Oh yes We needed you We learned that Melissa and Joshua took their roles as Mary and Joseph very seriously They did their best to take care of Baby Jesus

MOM And you learned that Baby Jesus is special for many reasons

DAD And you too learned how to work together for good

DEACON JENKINS I think you all are so good I may have a case for you to crack

DAVID For a nominal fee of course

DD Thatrsquos great news

PASTOR VALENTINE


We have good news too I wanted to wait until Christmas to share with you all MISS JEWELS and I are getting married SONG Oh Come All Ye Faithful


Sheet Music


Away in a Manger

Lyrics Martin Luther

Away in a manger No crib for His bed The little Lord Jesus

Laid down His sweet head

The stars in the bright sky Looked down where He lay

The little Lord Jesus Asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing The poor Baby wakes But little Lord Jesus No crying He makes

I love Thee Lord Jesus Look down from the sky And stay by my side Til morning is nigh

Be near me Lord Jesus

I ask Thee to stay Close by me forever And love me I pray

Bless all the dear children

In Thy tender care And take us to heaven To live with Thee there

Away in a Manger ndash Christmas Carol Music and lyrics


What Child Is This

Version 1

Words William Chatterton Dix 1865 These modified stanzas are from Dix poem The Manger Throne

There is also a Dix carol called The Manger Throne (Alternate Title Like Silver Lamps In A Distant Shrine)

Music Greensleeves 16th Century English melody Arranged by Sir John Stainer

MIDI Noteworthy Composer PDF Meter 8 7 8 7

Source Henry Ramsden Bramley and John Stainer Christmas Carols New and Old First Series (London Novello Ewer amp Co 1871) Carol 14

1 What Child is this who laid to rest On Marys 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

2 Why lies He in such mean estate Where ox and ass are feeding Good Christians fear for sinners here The silent Word is pleading

Nails spear shall pierce Him through The cross be borne for me for you Hail hail the Word made flesh The Babe the Son of Mary

3 So bring Him incense gold and myrrh Come peasant king to own Him The King of kings salvation brings Let loving hearts enthrone Him

Raise raise a song on high The virgin sings her lullaby Joy joy for Christ is born The Babe the Son of Mary


WE THREE KINGS

Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked lsquoWhere is the One who has been born king of the Jewsrsquo

Words amp Music John H Hopkins Jr 1857 (MIDI score) Hopkins wrote this carol for a Christ-mas pageant at the General Theological Seminary in New York City

We three kings of Orient are Bearing gifts we traverse afar Field and fountain moor and mountain Following yonder star

Refrain

O star of wonder star of light Star with royal beauty bright Westward leading still proceeding Guide us to thy perfect light

Born a King on Bethlehemrsquos plain Gold I bring to crown Him again King forever ceasing never Over us all to reign

Refrain

Frankincense to offer have I Incense owns a Deity nigh Prayer and praising voices raising Worshipping God on high

Refrain

Myrrh is mine its bitter perfume Breathes a life of gathering gloom Sorrowing sighing bleeding dying Sealed in the stone cold tomb

Refrain

Glorious now behold Him arise King and God and sacrifice Alleluia Alleluia Sounds through the earth and skies

Away in a mangerNo crib for His bedThe little Lord JesusLaid down His sweet headThe stars in the bright skyLooked down
