-Once in royal David's city

0:00:100:00:17

-#

-Stood a lowly cattle shed

0:00:170:00:25

-#

-Where a mother laid her baby

0:00:250:00:33

-#

-In a manger for His bed

0:00:330:00:41

-Mary was that mother mild

-Jesus Christ her little child

UNACCOMPANIED, HARMONY: # He came down to earth from heaven

0:00:590:01:06

# Who is God and Lord of all

0:01:060:01:13

# And His shelter was a stable

0:01:130:01:19

# And His cradle was a stall

0:01:190:01:26

# With the poor and mean and lowly

0:01:260:01:33

# Lived on earth our Saviour holy

0:01:330:01:42

# And through all His wondrous childhood

0:01:440:01:51

# He would honour and obey

0:01:510:01:58

# Love and watch the lowly maiden

0:01:580:02:05

# In whose gentle arms He lay

0:02:050:02:12

# Christian children all must be

0:02:120:02:19

# Mild, obedient, good as He

0:02:190:02:28

ORGAN AND CONGREGATION JOIN IN: # For He is our childhood's pattern

0:02:290:02:36

# Day by day like us He grew

0:02:360:02:43

# He was little, weak and helpless

0:02:430:02:50

# Tears and smiles like us He knew

0:02:500:02:57

# And He feeleth for our sadness

0:02:570:03:04

# And He shareth in our gladness

0:03:040:03:12

# And our eyes at last shall see Him

0:03:130:03:20

# Through His own redeeming love

0:03:200:03:26

# For that child so dear and gentle

0:03:260:03:33

# Is our Lord in heaven above

0:03:330:03:40

# And He leads His children on

0:03:400:03:47

# To the place where He is gone

0:03:470:03:54

WITH DESCANT: # Not in that poor lowly stable

0:03:550:04:02

# With the oxen standing by

0:04:020:04:09

# We shall see Him; but in heaven

0:04:090:04:16

# Set at God's right hand on high

0:04:160:04:22

# When like stars His children crowned

0:04:220:04:29

# All in white shall wait around. #

0:04:290:04:40

Beloved in Christ, we gather this Christmas Eve

0:04:450:04:50

to hear the message of Gabriel,

0:04:500:04:53

to journey with the shepherds

0:04:530:04:56

and with the magi to kneel in awe and adoration

0:04:560:05:00

before the gift of the light of the world.

0:05:000:05:04

In words and in music,

0:05:040:05:07

we seek to understand and to marvel at the wonder of the incarnation.

0:05:070:05:14

As we meet to offer our prayers and our praises to the Christ child,

0:05:150:05:21

let us pray first for the needs of the world,

0:05:210:05:25

for the poor, the hungry, the homeless,

0:05:250:05:29

for the persecuted and for the bereaved.

0:05:290:05:34

Let us, too, remember all those whom we have loved but see no longer,

0:05:340:05:42

those whose lives have influenced and enriched our own

0:05:420:05:47

and who now rejoice with us, but on another shore,

0:05:470:05:52

and with a greater understanding.

0:05:520:05:55

We pray that we may, this night, be so filled with the love of God

0:05:570:06:03

that our lives may reflect the light of His glory

0:06:030:06:07

and of His infinite compassion.

0:06:070:06:11

St Luke tells of the birth of Jesus.

0:11:370:11:40

And it came to pass, in those days, that there went out a decree

0:11:430:11:48

from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.

0:11:480:11:53

And all went to be taxed, everyone into his own city.

0:11:530:11:57

And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea,

0:11:570:12:05

unto the city of David which is called Bethlehem - because he was of the house and lineage of David -

0:12:050:12:14

to be taxed with Mary, his espoused wife, being great with child.

0:12:140:12:20

And so it was that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.

0:12:220:12:29

And she brought forth her first-born son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes,

0:12:290:12:35

and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

0:12:350:12:41

Thanks be to God.

The Elizabethan poet, Robert Southwell,

0:19:590:20:02

contemplates the paradoxes of the Nativity.

0:20:020:20:05

Behold the father is his daughter's son,

0:20:060:20:10

The bird that built the nest is hatched therein,

0:20:100:20:14

The old of years an hour hath not outrun,

0:20:140:20:17

Eternal life to live doth now begin,

0:20:170:20:21

The Word is dumb, the mirth of heaven doth weep,

0:20:210:20:25

Might feeble is, and force doth faintly creep.

0:20:250:20:29

Gift better than Himself, God doth not know.

0:20:300:20:33

Gift better than his God, no man can see;

0:20:330:20:37

This gift doth here the giver given bestow,

0:20:370:20:41

Gift to this gift let each receiver be:

0:20:410:20:45

God is my gift, Himself He freely gave me,

0:20:450:20:50

God's gift am I, and none but God shall have me.

0:20:500:20:55

Man alter'd was by sin from man to beast;

0:20:560:21:00

Beast's food is hay, hay is all mortal flesh;

0:21:000:21:05

Now God is flesh, and lies in manger press'd,

0:21:050:21:10

As hay the brutest sinner to refresh:

0:21:100:21:14

Oh happy field wherein this fodder grew,

0:21:140:21:18

Whose taste doth us from beasts to men renew!

The shepherds go to the manger.

0:27:410:27:43

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field,

0:27:450:27:50

keeping watch over their flock by night.

And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them;

0:27:540:28:02

and they were sore afraid.

0:28:020:28:04

And the angel said unto them,

0:28:060:28:08

"Fear not, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy,

0:28:080:28:15

"which shall be to all people.

0:28:150:28:18

"For unto you is born this day

0:28:200:28:23

"in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

0:28:230:28:28

"And this shall be a sign unto you -

0:28:280:28:31

"ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger."

0:28:310:28:37

And suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host

0:28:380:28:44

praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men."

0:28:440:28:52

And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven,

0:28:540:29:01

the shepherds said one to another,

0:29:010:29:03

"Let us now go even unto Bethlehem,

0:29:030:29:08

"and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us."

0:29:080:29:13

And they came with haste, and found Mary and Joseph,

0:29:150:29:20

and the babe lying in a manger.

0:29:200:29:23

Thanks be to God.

The contemporary poet, UA Fanthorpe,

0:37:580:38:01

contemplates the night that changed the world.

0:38:010:38:04

This was the moment when Before turned into After

0:38:050:38:10

and the future's uninvented timekeepers presented arms.

0:38:100:38:14

This was the moment when nothing happened.

0:38:140:38:18

Only dull peace sprawled boringly over the earth.

0:38:180:38:22

This was the moment when even energetic Romans

0:38:220:38:26

could find nothing better to do

0:38:260:38:28

than counting heads in remote provinces.

0:38:280:38:31

And this was the moment when a few farm workers

0:38:320:38:36

and three members of an obscure Persian sect

0:38:360:38:40

walked haphazard by starlight

0:38:400:38:43

The wise men are led by the star to Jesus.

0:44:240:44:27

Now, when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea

0:44:290:44:32

in the days of Herod, the king,

0:44:320:44:35

behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

0:44:350:44:40

saying, "Where is he that is born King of the Jews?

0:44:400:44:44

"For we have seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him."

0:44:440:44:49

When Herod, the king, had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

0:44:500:44:56

And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together,

0:44:560:45:01

he demanded of them where Christ should be born.

0:45:010:45:06

And they said unto him, "In Bethlehem of Judaea;

0:45:060:45:10

"for thus it is written by the prophet,

0:45:100:45:14

"'And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,

0:45:140:45:18

"'art not the least among the princes of Judah;

0:45:180:45:23

"'for out of thee shall come a governor

0:45:230:45:25

"'that shall rule my people, Israel.'"

0:45:250:45:29

Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men,

0:45:300:45:35

inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.

0:45:350:45:39

And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said,

0:45:390:45:44

"Go and search diligently for the young child;

0:45:440:45:48

"and when ye have found him, bring me word again,

0:45:480:45:53

"that I may come and worship him also."

0:45:530:45:56

When they had heard the king, they departed;

0:45:580:46:02

and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them,

0:46:020:46:07

till it came and stood over where the young child was.

0:46:070:46:10

When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

0:46:120:46:18

And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary, His mother,

0:46:180:46:25

and fell down, and worshipped Him;

0:46:250:46:28

and when they had opened their treasures,

0:46:280:46:31

they presented unto Him gifts:

0:46:310:46:33

gold, and frankincense,

0:46:330:46:36

and myrrh.

0:46:360:46:37

And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod,

0:46:390:46:43

they departed into their own country another way.

0:46:430:46:47

Thanks be to God.

TS Eliot on the importance of approaching Christmas

0:54:180:54:23

with innocence and wonder.

0:54:230:54:25

There are several attitudes towards Christmas,

0:54:280:54:31

Some of which we may disregard:

0:54:310:54:34

The social, the torpid, the patently commercial,

0:54:340:54:39

The rowdy (the pubs being open till midnight),

0:54:390:54:43

And the childish - which is not that of the child

0:54:430:54:47

For whom the candle is a star, and the gilded angel

0:54:470:54:51

Spreading its wings at the summit of the tree

0:54:510:54:54

Is not only a decoration, but an angel.

0:54:540:54:58

The child wonders at the Christmas Tree:

0:54:590:55:03

Let him continue in the spirit of wonder

0:55:030:55:07

At the Feast as an event not accepted as a pretext;

0:55:070:55:12

So that the glittering rapture, the amazement

0:55:120:55:15

Of the first-remembered Christmas Tree,

0:55:150:55:18

So that the surprises, delight in new possessions

0:55:180:55:22

(Each one with its peculiar and exciting smell),

0:55:220:55:27

The expectation of the goose or turkey

0:55:270:55:30

And the expected awe on its appearance,

0:55:300:55:34

So that the reverence and the gaiety

0:55:340:55:37

May not be forgotten in later experience,

0:55:370:55:41

In the bored habituation, the fatigue, the tedium,

0:55:410:55:45

The awareness of death, the consciousness of failure,

0:55:450:55:51

Or in the piety of the convert

0:55:510:55:53

Which may be tainted with a self-conceit

0:55:530:55:56

Displeasing to God and disrespectful to the children

0:55:560:56:02

(And here I remember also with gratitude St Lucy, her carol, and her crown of fire):

0:56:020:56:09

So that before the end, the eightieth Christmas

0:56:100:56:14

(By "eightieth" meaning whichever is the last)

0:56:140:56:17

The accumulated memories of annual emotion

0:56:170:56:21

May be concentrated into a great joy

0:56:210:56:24

Which shall be also a great fear, as on the occasion

0:56:240:56:30

When fear came upon every soul:

0:56:300:56:33

Because the beginning shall remind us of the end

0:56:330:56:39

And the first coining of the second coming.

St John unfolds the great mystery of the incarnation.

1:00:421:00:47

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,

1:00:501:00:55

and the Word was God.

1:00:551:00:58

The same was in the beginning with God.

1:00:581:01:02

All things were made by Him;

1:01:021:01:05

and without Him was not anything made that was made.

1:01:051:01:10

In Him was life; and the life was the light of men.

1:01:101:01:16

And the light shineth in darkness;

1:01:161:01:19

and the darkness comprehended it not.

1:01:191:01:23

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

1:01:231:01:28

The same came for a witness, to bear witness of that Light,

1:01:291:01:35

that all men through him might believe.

1:01:351:01:39

He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

1:01:391:01:46

That was the true Light,

1:01:461:01:48

which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

1:01:481:01:52

He was in the world,

1:01:521:01:55

and the world was made by Him,

1:01:551:01:58

and the world knew Him not.

1:01:581:02:02

He came unto His own,

1:02:021:02:05

and His own received Him not.

1:02:051:02:07

But as many as received Him,

1:02:071:02:11

to them gave He power to become the sons of God,

1:02:111:02:16

even to them that believe on His name;

1:02:161:02:21

which were born, not of blood,

1:02:211:02:24

nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man,

1:02:241:02:29

but of God.

1:02:291:02:32

And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us -

1:02:321:02:36

and we beheld His glory,

1:02:361:02:39

the glory as of the only begotten of the Father -

1:02:391:02:44

full of grace and truth.

1:02:441:02:47

Thanks be to God.
