CHRISTMAS EVE

December 24th is Christmas Eve.

This is a very special night in many western countries.

It is, of course………

Page 30: WELCOME TO OUR CHRISTMAS ASSEMBLY. CHRISTMAS Mary and Joseph traveling to Bethlehem

THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

Page 31: WELCOME TO OUR CHRISTMAS ASSEMBLY. CHRISTMAS Mary and Joseph traveling to Bethlehem

THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

‘Twas the night before Christmas,

When all through the house

Not a creature was stirring,

Not even a mouse.

Page 32: WELCOME TO OUR CHRISTMAS ASSEMBLY. CHRISTMAS Mary and Joseph traveling to Bethlehem

THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care

In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.

Page 33: WELCOME TO OUR CHRISTMAS ASSEMBLY. CHRISTMAS Mary and Joseph traveling to Bethlehem

THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,

While visions of sugar plums danced in their heads.

Page 34: WELCOME TO OUR CHRISTMAS ASSEMBLY. CHRISTMAS Mary and Joseph traveling to Bethlehem

THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

And mamma in her ‘kerchief,

And I in my cap,

Had just settled down

For a long winter’s nap.

Page 35: WELCOME TO OUR CHRISTMAS ASSEMBLY. CHRISTMAS Mary and Joseph traveling to Bethlehem

THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,

I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.

Page 36: WELCOME TO OUR CHRISTMAS ASSEMBLY. CHRISTMAS Mary and Joseph traveling to Bethlehem

THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

Away to the window I flew like a flash,

Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

Page 37: WELCOME TO OUR CHRISTMAS ASSEMBLY. CHRISTMAS Mary and Joseph traveling to Bethlehem

THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

The moon on the crest of the new fallen snow

Gave the luster of midday to objects below.

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear.

But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer.

Page 38: WELCOME TO OUR CHRISTMAS ASSEMBLY. CHRISTMAS Mary and Joseph traveling to Bethlehem

THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

With a little old driver so lively and quick,

I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.

More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,

And he whistled and shouted and called them by name.

Page 39: WELCOME TO OUR CHRISTMAS ASSEMBLY. CHRISTMAS Mary and Joseph traveling to Bethlehem

THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

“Now Dasher! Now Dancer! Now, Prancer and Vixen!

On, Comet! On Cupid! On Donner and Blitzen!

To the top of the porch! To the top of the wall!

Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!”

Page 40: WELCOME TO OUR CHRISTMAS ASSEMBLY. CHRISTMAS Mary and Joseph traveling to Bethlehem

THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,

When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky.

So up to the house-top his coursers they flew,

With the sleigh full of toys, and St Nicholas too.

Page 41: WELCOME TO OUR CHRISTMAS ASSEMBLY. CHRISTMAS Mary and Joseph traveling to Bethlehem

THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

And then in a twinkling, I heard on the roof

The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.

As I drew in my head and was turning around,

Down the chimney St Nicholas came with a bound.

Page 42: WELCOME TO OUR CHRISTMAS ASSEMBLY. CHRISTMAS Mary and Joseph traveling to Bethlehem

THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,

And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.

A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,

And he looked like a peddler, just opening his pack.

Page 43: WELCOME TO OUR CHRISTMAS ASSEMBLY. CHRISTMAS Mary and Joseph traveling to Bethlehem

THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

His eyes how they twinkled! His dimples how merry!

His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!

His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,

And the beard of his chin was a s white as the snow.

Page 44: WELCOME TO OUR CHRISTMAS ASSEMBLY. CHRISTMAS Mary and Joseph traveling to Bethlehem

THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,

And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.

He had a broad face and a little round belly,

That shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly

Page 45: WELCOME TO OUR CHRISTMAS ASSEMBLY. CHRISTMAS Mary and Joseph traveling to Bethlehem

THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

He was jolly and plump, a right jolly old elf,

And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself!

A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,

Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.

Page 46: WELCOME TO OUR CHRISTMAS ASSEMBLY. CHRISTMAS Mary and Joseph traveling to Bethlehem

THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,

And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk.

And laying his finger aside of his nose,

And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.

Page 47: WELCOME TO OUR CHRISTMAS ASSEMBLY. CHRISTMAS Mary and Joseph traveling to Bethlehem

THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,

And away they all flew like the down on a thistle.

But I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight,

Page 48: WELCOME TO OUR CHRISTMAS ASSEMBLY. CHRISTMAS Mary and Joseph traveling to Bethlehem

THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

“HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL,

AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!”

TODAY’S BIBLE READING

Not only under your master's eye, as pleasers of men; but as servants of Christ, doing the pleasure of God from the heart. (Ephesians, 6:6)

不 要 只 在 眼 前 事 奉 、 像 是 討 人 喜 歡 的 、 要 像 基 督 的 僕 人 、 從 心 裡 遵 行   神 的 旨 意 ( 以 弗 所 書六章六節 )
