Away in a Manger
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,

the little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.
Yea, Lord, we greet thee, born this happy morning,
Jesus, to thee be all glory given.
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing; Refrain
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes,
but little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes;
I love thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky and
stay by my cradle till morning is nigh.

“A Promise Fulfilled”
Message
O Little Town of Bethlehem
Lewis H. Redner
(Entrance of Mary and Joseph and the Baby Jesus - please remain seated)
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 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!

Radiant beams from thy holy face,
with the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth, Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.

With the angels let us sing, Alleluia to our King;
Christ the Savior is born, Christ the Savior is born!
