Gathering Song

(vs. 1)

“O Come, All Ye Faithful”

1. O come, all ye faithful,

joyful and triumphant!

O come ye,

O come ye to Bethlehem;

come and behold him,

born the king of angels:

O come, let us adore him,

O come, let us adore him,

O come, let us adore him,

Christ the Lord!

Sending Song

(vs. 1)

“Go Tell It on the Mountain”

Refrain:

Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills

and ev’rywhere; go tell it on the

mountain that Jesus Christ is born!

1. While shepherds kept their watching

o’er silent flocks by night,

behold, throughout the heavens

there shone a holy light. (Refrain)

Hymn of the Day

(vs. 1)

“O Little Town of Bethlehem”

1. 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.
