# Once in royal David's city | 0:00:24 | 0:00:31 | |
# Stood a lowly cattle shed | 0:00:31 | 0:00:38 | |
# Where a mother laid her baby | 0:00:38 | 0:00:45 | |
# In a manger for his bed | 0:00:45 | 0:00:51 | |
# Mary was that mother mild | 0:00:51 | 0:00:59 | |
# Jesus Christ her little child | 0:00:59 | 0:01:06 | |
# He came down to earth from heaven | 0:01:07 | 0:01:14 | |
# Who is God and Lord of all | 0:01:14 | 0:01:20 | |
# And his shelter was a stable | 0:01:20 | 0:01:27 | |
# And his cradle was a stall | 0:01:27 | 0:01:33 | |
# With the poor and mean and lowly | 0:01:33 | 0:01:40 | |
# Lived on earth our Saviour holy | 0:01:40 | 0:01:47 | |
# And through all his wondrous childhood | 0:01:48 | 0:01:56 | |
# He would honour and obey | 0:01:56 | 0:02:02 | |
# Love and watch the lowly maiden | 0:02:02 | 0:02:09 | |
# In whose gentle arms he lay | 0:02:09 | 0:02:15 | |
# Christian children all must be | 0:02:15 | 0:02:21 | |
# Mild, obedient, good as he | 0:02:21 | 0:02:30 | |
# For he is our childhood's pattern | 0:02:31 | 0:02:37 | |
# Day by day like us he grew | 0:02:37 | 0:02:44 | |
# He was little, weak and helpless | 0:02:44 | 0:02:50 | |
# Tears and smiles like us he knew | 0:02:50 | 0:02:56 | |
# And he feeleth for our sadness | 0:02:56 | 0:03:03 | |
# And he shareth in our gladness | 0:03:03 | 0:03:10 | |
# And our eyes at last shall see him | 0:03:11 | 0:03:18 | |
# Through his own redeeming love | 0:03:18 | 0:03:24 | |
# For that child so dear and gentle | 0:03:24 | 0:03:31 | |
# Is our Lord in heaven above | 0:03:31 | 0:03:37 | |
# And he leads his children on | 0:03:37 | 0:03:44 | |
# To the place where he is gone | 0:03:44 | 0:03:51 | |
# Not in that poor lowly stable | 0:03:52 | 0:03:59 | |
# With the oxen standing by | 0:03:59 | 0:04:05 | |
# We shall see him, but in heaven | 0:04:05 | 0:04:12 | |
# Set at God's right hand on high | 0:04:12 | 0:04:19 | |
# When like stars his children crowned | 0:04:19 | 0:04:25 | |
# All in white shall wait around. # | 0:04:25 | 0:04:37 | |
We gather again this Christmas Eve | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
to celebrate the birth of the Christ Child - | 0:04:46 | 0:04:50 | |
God's gift of love to the human race - | 0:04:50 | 0:04:54 | |
and to celebrate that good news | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
with wonder and with joy. | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
We trace, in the words of Scripture, | 0:05:01 | 0:05:03 | |
the familiar story of angels and shepherds, | 0:05:03 | 0:05:07 | |
mother and child, | 0:05:07 | 0:05:09 | |
wise men and gifts, | 0:05:09 | 0:05:13 | |
and ponder in our hearts | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
not only what this gift means, | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
but how we might respond to it. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
The faith we celebrate at Christmas | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
is that God is with us as our friend and companion. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:30 | |
A companion who brings the fullness of God's grace | 0:05:30 | 0:05:34 | |
into the realities of flesh and blood, | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
into our pain and distress, | 0:05:37 | 0:05:41 | |
into our personal hopes | 0:05:41 | 0:05:43 | |
and common fears. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:44 | |
A companion who, | 0:05:46 | 0:05:47 | |
by sharing our life with us, | 0:05:47 | 0:05:50 | |
heals and reconciles | 0:05:50 | 0:05:52 | |
through his endless gift of love. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:56 | |

The prophet Isaiah foretells the peace that Christ will bring. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse | 0:08:55 | 0:08:59 | |
And a branch shall grow out of his roots | 0:08:59 | 0:09:02 | |
And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
The spirit of wisdom and understanding | 0:09:06 | 0:09:10 | |
The spirit of counsel and might | 0:09:10 | 0:09:13 | |
The spirit of knowledge | 0:09:13 | 0:09:16 | |
And of the fear of the Lord | 0:09:16 | 0:09:18 | |
And shall make him of quick understanding | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
In the fear of the Lord | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
And he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes | 0:09:23 | 0:09:27 | |
Neither reprove after the hearing of his ears | 0:09:27 | 0:09:30 | |
But with righteousness shall he judge the poor | 0:09:31 | 0:09:35 | |
And reprove with equity for the meek of the earth | 0:09:35 | 0:09:39 | |
And he shall smite the earth | 0:09:40 | 0:09:43 | |
With the rod of his mouth | 0:09:43 | 0:09:45 | |
And with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked | 0:09:45 | 0:09:49 | |
And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins | 0:09:50 | 0:09:54 | |
And faithfulness the girdle of his reins | 0:09:54 | 0:09:58 | |
The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb | 0:10:00 | 0:10:04 | |
And the leopard shall lie down with the kid | 0:10:04 | 0:10:07 | |
And the calf and the young lion and the fatling together | 0:10:07 | 0:10:11 | |
And a little child shall lead them | 0:10:11 | 0:10:13 | |
And the cow and the bear shall feed | 0:10:15 | 0:10:17 | |
Their young ones shall lie down together | 0:10:17 | 0:10:20 | |
And the lion shall eat straw like the ox | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
And the sucking child | 0:10:25 | 0:10:27 | |
Shall play on the hole of the asp | 0:10:27 | 0:10:29 | |
And the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice's den | 0:10:29 | 0:10:34 | |
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain | 0:10:38 | 0:10:43 | |
For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord | 0:10:44 | 0:10:48 | |
As the waters cover the sea. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
Thanks be to God. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:54 | |

The poet and priest, Rowan Williams, | 0:16:15 | 0:16:18 | |
offers images of the coming of Christ. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
He will come like last leaf's fall | 0:16:22 | 0:16:25 | |
One night when the November wind has flayed the trees to bone | 0:16:26 | 0:16:30 | |
And earth wakes choking on the mould | 0:16:30 | 0:16:34 | |
The soft shroud's folding | 0:16:34 | 0:16:36 | |
He will come like frost | 0:16:37 | 0:16:40 | |
One morning, when the shrinking earth opens on mist | 0:16:40 | 0:16:44 | |
To find itself arrested in the net of alien, sword-set beauty | 0:16:44 | 0:16:50 | |
He will come like dark | 0:16:51 | 0:16:53 | |
One evening, when the bursting red December sun | 0:16:54 | 0:16:58 | |
Draws up the sheet and penny-masks its eye | 0:16:58 | 0:17:00 | |
To yield the star-snowed fields of sky | 0:17:00 | 0:17:03 | |
He will come | 0:17:05 | 0:17:06 | |
WILL come | 0:17:06 | 0:17:08 | |
Will come like crying in the night | 0:17:08 | 0:17:11 | |
Like blood, like breaking | 0:17:11 | 0:17:13 | |
As the earth writhes to toss him free | 0:17:13 | 0:17:15 | |
He will come like child. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |

The Angel Gabriel brings good news to Mary. | 0:28:25 | 0:28:29 | |
And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God | 0:28:32 | 0:28:37 | |
Unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth | 0:28:37 | 0:28:40 | |
To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, | 0:28:40 | 0:28:44 | |
Of the house of David | 0:28:44 | 0:28:46 | |
And the virgin's name was Mary. | 0:28:46 | 0:28:49 | |
And the angel came in unto her, and said | 0:28:50 | 0:28:54 | |
"Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee | 0:28:54 | 0:28:59 | |
"Blessed art thou among women." | 0:28:59 | 0:29:02 | |
And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying | 0:29:03 | 0:29:07 | |
And cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be | 0:29:07 | 0:29:11 | |
And the angel said unto her, "Fear not, Mary | 0:29:12 | 0:29:17 | |
"For thou hast found favour with God | 0:29:17 | 0:29:20 | |
"And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, | 0:29:22 | 0:29:27 | |
"And bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus | 0:29:27 | 0:29:33 | |
"He shall be great, | 0:29:34 | 0:29:36 | |
"and shall be called the Son of the Highest | 0:29:36 | 0:29:39 | |
"And the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father, David | 0:29:39 | 0:29:44 | |
"And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever | 0:29:44 | 0:29:47 | |
"And of his kingdom there shall be no end." | 0:29:47 | 0:29:51 | |
Then said Mary unto the angel | 0:29:53 | 0:29:55 | |
"How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?" | 0:29:55 | 0:29:59 | |
And the angel answered and said unto her | 0:30:00 | 0:30:03 | |
"The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee | 0:30:03 | 0:30:07 | |
"And the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee | 0:30:07 | 0:30:11 | |
"Therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee | 0:30:11 | 0:30:15 | |
"Shall be called the Son of God | 0:30:15 | 0:30:17 | |
"And, behold, thy cousin, Elisabeth, | 0:30:19 | 0:30:21 | |
"She hath also conceived a son in her old age | 0:30:21 | 0:30:25 | |
"And this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren | 0:30:25 | 0:30:29 | |
"For with God, nothing shall be impossible." | 0:30:31 | 0:30:35 | |
And Mary said, "Behold the handmaid of the Lord | 0:30:36 | 0:30:41 | |
"Be it unto me according to thy word." | 0:30:41 | 0:30:45 | |
And the angel departed from her. | 0:30:47 | 0:30:49 | |
Thanks be to God. | 0:30:52 | 0:30:54 | |

The wise men are led by a star to Jesus. | 0:47:24 | 0:47:28 | |
Now, when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea | 0:47:29 | 0:47:33 | |
In the days of Herod the king | 0:47:33 | 0:47:36 | |
Behold, there came wise men from the East to Jerusalem, saying | 0:47:36 | 0:47:41 | |
"Where is he that is born King of the Jews? | 0:47:41 | 0:47:44 | |
"For we have seen his star in the East | 0:47:44 | 0:47:48 | |
"And are come to worship him." | 0:47:48 | 0:47:50 | |
Then, Herod, when he had privily called the wise men | 0:47:51 | 0:47:56 | |
Enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared | 0:47:56 | 0:48:01 | |
And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said | 0:48:02 | 0:48:05 | |
"Go and search diligently for the young child | 0:48:05 | 0:48:09 | |
"And when ye have found him, bring me word again, | 0:48:09 | 0:48:12 | |
"That I may come and worship him, also." | 0:48:12 | 0:48:16 | |
When they had heard the king, they departed | 0:48:17 | 0:48:21 | |
And lo, the star which they saw in the east went before them | 0:48:21 | 0:48:26 | |
Till it came and stood over where the young child was | 0:48:26 | 0:48:30 | |
When they saw the star | 0:48:31 | 0:48:33 | |
They rejoiced with exceeding great joy | 0:48:33 | 0:48:36 | |

And fell down, and worshipped him | 0:48:44 | 0:48:47 | |
And when they had opened their treasures | 0:48:48 | 0:48:50 | |
They presented unto him gifts | 0:48:50 | 0:48:53 | |
Gold and frankincense and myrrh | 0:48:53 | 0:48:57 | |
And being warned of God in a dream | 0:48:58 | 0:49:02 | |
That they should not return to Herod | 0:49:02 | 0:49:04 | |
They departed into their own country another way. | 0:49:04 | 0:49:08 | |

UA Fanthorpe reflects on the significance | 0:54:58 | 0:55:01 | |
of the moment of Christ's birth. | 0:55:01 | 0:55:03 | |
This was the moment when Before turned into After | 0:55:05 | 0:55:10 | |
and the future's uninvented timekeepers presented arms | 0:55:10 | 0:55:14 | |
This was the moment when nothing happened | 0:55:16 | 0:55:19 | |
Only dull peace sprawled boringly over the earth | 0:55:20 | 0:55:23 | |
This was the moment when even energetic Romans | 0:55:25 | 0:55:29 | |
Could find nothing better to do | 0:55:29 | 0:55:32 | |
Than counting heads in remote provinces | 0:55:32 | 0:55:34 | |
And this was the moment | 0:55:36 | 0:55:38 | |
When a few farm workers | 0:55:38 | 0:55:41 | |
And three members of an obscure Persian sect | 0:55:41 | 0:55:45 | |
Walked haphazard by starlight | 0:55:45 | 0:55:48 | |

St John unfolds the great mystery of the incarnation. | 1:02:15 | 1:02:19 | |
In the beginning was the Word | 1:02:21 | 1:02:24 | |
And the Word was with God | 1:02:24 | 1:02:28 | |
And the Word was God | 1:02:28 | 1:02:29 | |
The same was in the beginning with God | 1:02:30 | 1:02:33 | |
All things were made by him | 1:02:35 | 1:02:38 | |
And without him was not any thing made that was made | 1:02:38 | 1:02:42 | |
In him was life | 1:02:44 | 1:02:45 | |
And the life was the light of men | 1:02:46 | 1:02:49 | |
And the light shineth in darkness | 1:02:50 | 1:02:53 | |
And the darkness comprehended it not | 1:02:53 | 1:02:56 | |
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John | 1:02:58 | 1:03:03 | |
The same came for a witness | 1:03:04 | 1:03:07 | |
To bear witness of the light | 1:03:07 | 1:03:10 | |
That all men through him might believe | 1:03:10 | 1:03:14 | |
He was not that light | 1:03:14 | 1:03:17 | |
But was sent to bear witness of that light | 1:03:17 | 1:03:22 | |
That was the true light | 1:03:22 | 1:03:24 | |
Which lighteth every man that cometh into the world | 1:03:24 | 1:03:28 | |
He was in the world | 1:03:29 | 1:03:32 | |
And the world was made by him | 1:03:32 | 1:03:35 | |
And the world knew him not | 1:03:35 | 1:03:37 | |
He came unto his own | 1:03:39 | 1:03:41 | |
And his own received him not | 1:03:41 | 1:03:43 | |
But as many as received him | 1:03:45 | 1:03:47 | |
To them gave he power to become the sons of God | 1:03:47 | 1:03:52 | |
Even to them that believe on his name | 1:03:52 | 1:03:56 | |
Which were born, not of blood | 1:03:56 | 1:03:59 | |
Nor of the will of the flesh | 1:03:59 | 1:04:02 | |
Nor of the will of man, but of God | 1:04:02 | 1:04:05 | |
And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us | 1:04:07 | 1:04:12 | |
And we beheld his glory | 1:04:12 | 1:04:15 | |
The glory as of the only begotten of the Father | 1:04:15 | 1:04:18 | |
Full of grace and truth. | 1:04:18 | 1:04:21 | |
