SEASONAL VOICESUnder the Direction of Mrs Lorenzo-Peirson - A selection of Carols

ONCE IN ROYAL DAVID’S CITY Solo (Clare Wright) Once in Royal David’s City Stood a lonely cattle shed, Where a mother laid her baby In a manger for his bed, Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little child.

For he is our childhood’s pattern,Day by day like us he grewHe was little, week and helplessTears and smiles like us he knew,And he feeleth for our sadness,And he shareth in our gladness.

CongregationHe 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.

And our eyes at last shall see him,Through his own redeeming love,For that child so dear and gentleIs our Lord in heaven above,And he leads his children onTo the place where he has gone.

And through all his wondrous childhood,He would honour and obey,Love and watch the lowly maiden,In whose gentle arms he lay:Christian children all must beMild obedient, good as he.

Not in that poor lowly stable,With the oxen standing by,We shall see him but in heavenSet at God’s right hand on high:Where the star his children crownedAll in white shall wait around.

WELCOME AND BIDDING PRAYERThe Reverend Andrew Slater, Honorary Curate of Wymondham Abbey &

Assistant Principal of Wymondham High Academy

THE LORD’S PRAYEROur Father who art in heaven,

Hallowed be thy name.Thy Kingdom come,

But deliver us from evilFor thine is the Kingdom,The Power and the GloryFor ever and ever. Amen La

SECOND READINGGenesis: Chapter 22 Verses 15-18 (Year 7 Student)

O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHAMO little town of BethlehemHow still we see thee lie!Above thy deep and dreamless sleep,The silent stars go by.Yet in the dark streets shinethThe everlasting light,The hopes and fears of all the yearsAre met in thee tonight.

O morning stars, togetherProclaim the holy birth,And praises sing to God the KingAnd Peace to men on earth:For Christ is born of MaryAnd gathered all above,While mortals sleep, the angels keepTheir watch of wondering love.

How silently, how silentlyThe wondrous gift is given!So God imparts to human heartsThe blessings of his heaven.No ear may hear his coming,But in the world of sin,Where meek souls will receive him stillThe dear Christ enters in.

O Holy Child of BethlehemDescend to us we pray;Cast out our sin and enter in,Be born in us today.We hear the Christmas angelsThe great glad tidings tell:O come to us, abide with us,Our Lord Emmanuel.

Refrain ...Hark the Herald Angels sing,Glory to the new-born King!

Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace!Hail the son of Righteousness!Light and life to all he brings,Risen with healing in his wings,Mild he lays his glory by,Born that man no more may die,Born to raise our sons of earth,Born to give them second birth.

WHILE SHEPHERDS WATCHEDWhile Shepherds watched their flocks by night,All seated on the ground,The angel of the Lord came down,And glory shone around.

‘Fear not’ said he (for mighty dread had seized their troubled minds)‘Glad tidings of great joy I bringTo you and all mankind’

‘To you in David’s town this dayIs born of David’s lineA Saviour who is Christ the Lord,And this shall be the sign’:

‘The heavenly babe you there shall findTo human view displayed,All meanly wrapped in swathing bands,And in a manger laid.’

Thus spake the Seraph and forthwithAppeared a shining throngOf angels praising God, who thusAddressed their joyful song:

‘All glory be to God on high,And to the earth be peace,Goodwill henceforth from heaven to menBegin and never cease.’
