1. O come, O come, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lowly exile here,
Until the Son of God appear.
2. O come, Thou Day-Spring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here;
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death’s dark shadows put to flight.
3. O come, Thou Key of David, come
And open wide our heavenly home;
Make safe the way that leads on high
And close the path to misery.
Refrain:
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

HYMN: O Little Town of Bethlehem arr. Clifton J. Noble, Jr.
( Congregation and Choirs, all standing)
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.
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth,
And praises sing to God the king,
And peace to men on earth;
For Christ is born of Mary;
And, gathered all above,
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wond’ring love.
How silently, how silently,
The wondrous gift is giv’n!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of his heav’n.
No ear may hear his coming;
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive him,
Still the dear Christ enters in.
O Holy Child of Bethlehem,
Descend to us, we pray:
Cast out our sin and enter in,
Be born in us today.
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell:
O come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Emmanuel.

I
A gentle snow is on the ground,
On bush and tree and all around,
The sleigh bells jingle peacefully
And I ’ m as happy as can be.
Tonight I feel my spirit fly
Way up into the heaven high,
Where angels sing in harmony
On golden clouds and pearly seas.
Tonight I feel that I could be
Like angels pure and heavenly
And shine like diamond stars above
On all the world and those I love.
’ m happy as a child can be
Surrounded by my family,
For Christmas Eve I ’ m finely dressed
And feeling like I ’ m truly blessed.
I feel content and whole tonight,
My heart is filled with pure delight;
Oh, will it always be this way?
Or will it change, now who can say?

CLOSING VOLUNTARY: Postlude on “Mendelssohn” arr: David Willcocks

A FREE-WILL OFFERING will be accepted by the ushers as you leave John M. Greene Hall. All donations will be given to the Friends of Hampshire County Homeless Individuals Interfaith Winter Shelter Program. The Interfaith
Winter Shelter once more opened on November 1 and every night provides food and shelter to many homeless people during the winter months. The Shelter is located at 43 Center Street (with an annex in Easthampton) and was founded in 1994 as a cooperative effort among the City of Northampton, ServiceNet, and the Friends of the Homeless. Each night teams of volunteers from Northampton and surrounding towns bring a cooked meal to the shelter and offer residents not only good food but friendship and support.
The Friends of Hampshire County Homeless Individuals is a non-profit organization formed to provide financial and volunteer support for the shelter. Each year the organization must raise $30,000 locally to cover the shelter’s operating expenses (utilities, insurance, supplies, etc.), as well as other programs that help the homeless in their daily struggle. You will find a table in the foyer with more information about the Interfaith Winter Shelter program.
This year’s cover was designed by Lauren “Izzy” Masiunas ’12. Our thanks to the ushers and candlelighters for giving generously of their time for these services. We are very grateful to members of the Facilities Management staff and the
Office of Religious and Spiritual Life staff for extensive preparation of the hall.
