THREE NATIVITY PICTURES IN SONG AND VERSE

The Kings and the Star (Leader)

The Kings of the East are riding
Tonight to Bethlehem.
The sunset glows dividing,
The Kings of the East are riding ;
A star their journey guiding,
Beaming with gold and gem.
The Kings of the East are riding
Tonight to Bethlehem.

Refrain (All sing)

O star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy per-fect light. A-men.

Hymn No. 36 O Come, All Ye Faithful, Joyful and Triumphant Call To Worship

Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David— a Saviour, who is Christ, the Lord.
Luke 2 : 10, 11

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government shall be upon his shoulders ; and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end.

Isa. 9:6, 7

Invocation

O GOD, of heavenly glory, and source of earthly peace and good will ; may our Christmas be merry, because it is touched with joy divine; may the remembrance of thy Christ's birth be holy, because he is really born in our hearts today, in his purity and love; through the same, thy son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
