Beloved in Christ, we gather this Christmas Eve | 0:04:45 | 0:04:50 | |
to hear the message of Gabriel, | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
to journey with the shepherds | 0:04:53 | 0:04:56 | |
and with the magi to kneel in awe and adoration | 0:04:56 | 0:05:00 | |
before the gift of the light of the world. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:04 | |
In words and in music, | 0:05:04 | 0:05:07 | |
we seek to understand and to marvel at the wonder of the incarnation. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:14 | |
As we meet to offer our prayers and our praises to the Christ child, | 0:05:15 | 0:05:21 | |
let us pray first for the needs of the world, | 0:05:21 | 0:05:25 | |
for the poor, the hungry, the homeless, | 0:05:25 | 0:05:29 | |
for the persecuted and for the bereaved. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:34 | |
Let us, too, remember all those whom we have loved but see no longer, | 0:05:34 | 0:05:42 | |
those whose lives have influenced and enriched our own | 0:05:42 | 0:05:47 | |
and who now rejoice with us, but on another shore, | 0:05:47 | 0:05:52 | |
and with a greater understanding. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:55 | |
We pray that we may, this night, be so filled with the love of God | 0:05:57 | 0:06:03 | |
that our lives may reflect the light of His glory | 0:06:03 | 0:06:07 | |
and of His infinite compassion. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:11 | |

St Luke tells of the birth of Jesus. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:40 | |
And it came to pass, in those days, that there went out a decree | 0:11:43 | 0:11:48 | |
from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:53 | |
And all went to be taxed, everyone into his own city. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:57 | |
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, | 0:11:57 | 0:12:05 | |
unto the city of David which is called Bethlehem - because he was of the house and lineage of David - | 0:12:05 | 0:12:14 | |
to be taxed with Mary, his espoused wife, being great with child. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:20 | |
And so it was that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:29 | |
And she brought forth her first-born son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, | 0:12:29 | 0:12:35 | |
and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:41 | |
Thanks be to God. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:44 | |

The Elizabethan poet, Robert Southwell, | 0:19:59 | 0:20:02 | |
contemplates the paradoxes of the Nativity. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:05 | |
Behold the father is his daughter's son, | 0:20:06 | 0:20:10 | |
The bird that built the nest is hatched therein, | 0:20:10 | 0:20:14 | |
The old of years an hour hath not outrun, | 0:20:14 | 0:20:17 | |
Eternal life to live doth now begin, | 0:20:17 | 0:20:21 | |
The Word is dumb, the mirth of heaven doth weep, | 0:20:21 | 0:20:25 | |
Might feeble is, and force doth faintly creep. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:29 | |
Gift better than Himself, God doth not know. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:33 | |
Gift better than his God, no man can see; | 0:20:33 | 0:20:37 | |
This gift doth here the giver given bestow, | 0:20:37 | 0:20:41 | |
Gift to this gift let each receiver be: | 0:20:41 | 0:20:45 | |
God is my gift, Himself He freely gave me, | 0:20:45 | 0:20:50 | |
God's gift am I, and none but God shall have me. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:55 | |
Man alter'd was by sin from man to beast; | 0:20:56 | 0:21:00 | |
Beast's food is hay, hay is all mortal flesh; | 0:21:00 | 0:21:05 | |
Now God is flesh, and lies in manger press'd, | 0:21:05 | 0:21:10 | |
As hay the brutest sinner to refresh: | 0:21:10 | 0:21:14 | |
Oh happy field wherein this fodder grew, | 0:21:14 | 0:21:18 | |
Whose taste doth us from beasts to men renew! | 0:21:18 | 0:21:23 | |

The shepherds go to the manger. | 0:27:41 | 0:27:43 | |
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, | 0:27:45 | 0:27:50 | |
keeping watch over their flock by night. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:54 | |
And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; | 0:27:54 | 0:28:02 | |
and they were sore afraid. | 0:28:02 | 0:28:04 | |
And the angel said unto them, | 0:28:06 | 0:28:08 | |
"Fear not, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, | 0:28:08 | 0:28:15 | |
"which shall be to all people. | 0:28:15 | 0:28:18 | |
"For unto you is born this day | 0:28:20 | 0:28:23 | |
"in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. | 0:28:23 | 0:28:28 | |
"And this shall be a sign unto you - | 0:28:28 | 0:28:31 | |
"ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger." | 0:28:31 | 0:28:37 | |
And suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host | 0:28:38 | 0:28:44 | |
praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men." | 0:28:44 | 0:28:52 | |
And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, | 0:28:54 | 0:29:01 | |
the shepherds said one to another, | 0:29:01 | 0:29:03 | |
"Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, | 0:29:03 | 0:29:08 | |
"and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us." | 0:29:08 | 0:29:13 | |
And they came with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, | 0:29:15 | 0:29:20 | |
and the babe lying in a manger. | 0:29:20 | 0:29:23 | |

The contemporary poet, UA Fanthorpe, | 0:37:58 | 0:38:01 | |
contemplates the night that changed the world. | 0:38:01 | 0:38:04 | |
This was the moment when Before turned into After | 0:38:05 | 0:38:10 | |
and the future's uninvented timekeepers presented arms. | 0:38:10 | 0:38:14 | |
This was the moment when nothing happened. | 0:38:14 | 0:38:18 | |
Only dull peace sprawled boringly over the earth. | 0:38:18 | 0:38:22 | |
This was the moment when even energetic Romans | 0:38:22 | 0:38:26 | |
could find nothing better to do | 0:38:26 | 0:38:28 | |
than counting heads in remote provinces. | 0:38:28 | 0:38:31 | |
And this was the moment when a few farm workers | 0:38:32 | 0:38:36 | |
and three members of an obscure Persian sect | 0:38:36 | 0:38:40 | |
walked haphazard by starlight | 0:38:40 | 0:38:43 | |

The wise men are led by the star to Jesus. | 0:44:24 | 0:44:27 | |
Now, when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea | 0:44:29 | 0:44:32 | |
in the days of Herod, the king, | 0:44:32 | 0:44:35 | |
behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, | 0:44:35 | 0:44:40 | |
saying, "Where is he that is born King of the Jews? | 0:44:40 | 0:44:44 | |
"For we have seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him." | 0:44:44 | 0:44:49 | |
When Herod, the king, had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. | 0:44:50 | 0:44:56 | |
And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, | 0:44:56 | 0:45:01 | |
he demanded of them where Christ should be born. | 0:45:01 | 0:45:06 | |
And they said unto him, "In Bethlehem of Judaea; | 0:45:06 | 0:45:10 | |
"for thus it is written by the prophet, | 0:45:10 | 0:45:14 | |
"'And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, | 0:45:14 | 0:45:18 | |
"'art not the least among the princes of Judah; | 0:45:18 | 0:45:23 | |
"'for out of thee shall come a governor | 0:45:23 | 0:45:25 | |
"'that shall rule my people, Israel.'" | 0:45:25 | 0:45:29 | |
Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, | 0:45:30 | 0:45:35 | |
inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. | 0:45:35 | 0:45:39 | |
And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, | 0:45:39 | 0:45:44 | |
"Go and search diligently for the young child; | 0:45:44 | 0:45:48 | |
"and when ye have found him, bring me word again, | 0:45:48 | 0:45:53 | |
"that I may come and worship him also." | 0:45:53 | 0:45:56 | |
When they had heard the king, they departed; | 0:45:58 | 0:46:02 | |
and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, | 0:46:02 | 0:46:07 | |
till it came and stood over where the young child was. | 0:46:07 | 0:46:10 | |
When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. | 0:46:12 | 0:46:18 | |
And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary, His mother, | 0:46:18 | 0:46:25 | |
and fell down, and worshipped Him; | 0:46:25 | 0:46:28 | |
and when they had opened their treasures, | 0:46:28 | 0:46:31 | |
they presented unto Him gifts: | 0:46:31 | 0:46:33 | |
gold, and frankincense, | 0:46:33 | 0:46:36 | |
and myrrh. | 0:46:36 | 0:46:37 | |
And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, | 0:46:39 | 0:46:43 | |
they departed into their own country another way. | 0:46:43 | 0:46:47 | |

TS Eliot on the importance of approaching Christmas | 0:54:18 | 0:54:23 | |
with innocence and wonder. | 0:54:23 | 0:54:25 | |
There are several attitudes towards Christmas, | 0:54:28 | 0:54:31 | |
Some of which we may disregard: | 0:54:31 | 0:54:34 | |
The social, the torpid, the patently commercial, | 0:54:34 | 0:54:39 | |
The rowdy (the pubs being open till midnight), | 0:54:39 | 0:54:43 | |
And the childish - which is not that of the child | 0:54:43 | 0:54:47 | |
For whom the candle is a star, and the gilded angel | 0:54:47 | 0:54:51 | |
Spreading its wings at the summit of the tree | 0:54:51 | 0:54:54 | |
Is not only a decoration, but an angel. | 0:54:54 | 0:54:58 | |
The child wonders at the Christmas Tree: | 0:54:59 | 0:55:03 | |
Let him continue in the spirit of wonder | 0:55:03 | 0:55:07 | |
At the Feast as an event not accepted as a pretext; | 0:55:07 | 0:55:12 | |
So that the glittering rapture, the amazement | 0:55:12 | 0:55:15 | |
Of the first-remembered Christmas Tree, | 0:55:15 | 0:55:18 | |
So that the surprises, delight in new possessions | 0:55:18 | 0:55:22 | |
(Each one with its peculiar and exciting smell), | 0:55:22 | 0:55:27 | |
The expectation of the goose or turkey | 0:55:27 | 0:55:30 | |
And the expected awe on its appearance, | 0:55:30 | 0:55:34 | |
So that the reverence and the gaiety | 0:55:34 | 0:55:37 | |
May not be forgotten in later experience, | 0:55:37 | 0:55:41 | |
In the bored habituation, the fatigue, the tedium, | 0:55:41 | 0:55:45 | |
The awareness of death, the consciousness of failure, | 0:55:45 | 0:55:51 | |
Or in the piety of the convert | 0:55:51 | 0:55:53 | |
Which may be tainted with a self-conceit | 0:55:53 | 0:55:56 | |
Displeasing to God and disrespectful to the children | 0:55:56 | 0:56:02 | |
(And here I remember also with gratitude St Lucy, her carol, and her crown of fire): | 0:56:02 | 0:56:09 | |
So that before the end, the eightieth Christmas | 0:56:10 | 0:56:14 | |
(By "eightieth" meaning whichever is the last) | 0:56:14 | 0:56:17 | |
The accumulated memories of annual emotion | 0:56:17 | 0:56:21 | |
May be concentrated into a great joy | 0:56:21 | 0:56:24 | |
Which shall be also a great fear, as on the occasion | 0:56:24 | 0:56:30 | |
When fear came upon every soul: | 0:56:30 | 0:56:33 | |
Because the beginning shall remind us of the end | 0:56:33 | 0:56:39 | |
And the first coining of the second coming. | 0:56:39 | 0:56:42 | |

St John unfolds the great mystery of the incarnation. | 1:00:42 | 1:00:47 | |
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, | 1:00:50 | 1:00:55 | |
and the Word was God. | 1:00:55 | 1:00:58 | |
The same was in the beginning with God. | 1:00:58 | 1:01:02 | |
All things were made by Him; | 1:01:02 | 1:01:05 | |
and without Him was not anything made that was made. | 1:01:05 | 1:01:10 | |
In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. | 1:01:10 | 1:01:16 | |
And the light shineth in darkness; | 1:01:16 | 1:01:19 | |
and the darkness comprehended it not. | 1:01:19 | 1:01:23 | |
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. | 1:01:23 | 1:01:28 | |
The same came for a witness, to bear witness of that Light, | 1:01:29 | 1:01:35 | |
that all men through him might believe. | 1:01:35 | 1:01:39 | |
He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. | 1:01:39 | 1:01:46 | |
That was the true Light, | 1:01:46 | 1:01:48 | |
which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. | 1:01:48 | 1:01:52 | |
He was in the world, | 1:01:52 | 1:01:55 | |
and the world was made by Him, | 1:01:55 | 1:01:58 | |
and the world knew Him not. | 1:01:58 | 1:02:02 | |
He came unto His own, | 1:02:02 | 1:02:05 | |
and His own received Him not. | 1:02:05 | 1:02:07 | |
But as many as received Him, | 1:02:07 | 1:02:11 | |
to them gave He power to become the sons of God, | 1:02:11 | 1:02:16 | |
even to them that believe on His name; | 1:02:16 | 1:02:21 | |
which were born, not of blood, | 1:02:21 | 1:02:24 | |
nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, | 1:02:24 | 1:02:29 | |
but of God. | 1:02:29 | 1:02:32 | |
And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us - | 1:02:32 | 1:02:36 | |
and we beheld His glory, | 1:02:36 | 1:02:39 | |
the glory as of the only begotten of the Father - | 1:02:39 | 1:02:44 | |
full of grace and truth. | 1:02:44 | 1:02:47 | |
Thanks be to God. | 1:02:48 | 1:02:50 | |
