# Once in royal David's city

0:00:240:00:31

# Stood a lowly cattle shed

0:00:310:00:38

# Where a mother laid her baby

0:00:380:00:45

# In a manger for his bed

0:00:450:00:51

# Mary was that mother mild

0:00:510:00:59

# Jesus Christ her little child

0:00:590:01:06

# He came down to earth from heaven

0:01:070:01:14

# Who is God and Lord of all

0:01:140:01:20

# And his shelter was a stable

0:01:200:01:27

# And his cradle was a stall

0:01:270:01:33

# With the poor and mean and lowly

0:01:330:01:40

# Lived on earth our Saviour holy

0:01:400:01:47

# And through all his wondrous childhood

0:01:480:01:56

# He would honour and obey

0:01:560:02:02

# Love and watch the lowly maiden

0:02:020:02:09

# In whose gentle arms he lay

0:02:090:02:15

# Christian children all must be

0:02:150:02:21

# Mild, obedient, good as he

0:02:210:02:30

# For he is our childhood's pattern

0:02:310:02:37

# Day by day like us he grew

0:02:370:02:44

# He was little, weak and helpless

0:02:440:02:50

# Tears and smiles like us he knew

0:02:500:02:56

# And he feeleth for our sadness

0:02:560:03:03

# And he shareth in our gladness

0:03:030:03:10

# And our eyes at last shall see him

0:03:110:03:18

# Through his own redeeming love

0:03:180:03:24

# For that child so dear and gentle

0:03:240:03:31

# Is our Lord in heaven above

0:03:310:03:37

# And he leads his children on

0:03:370:03:44

# To the place where he is gone

0:03:440:03:51

# Not in that poor lowly stable

0:03:520:03:59

# With the oxen standing by

0:03:590:04:05

# We shall see him, but in heaven

0:04:050:04:12

# Set at God's right hand on high

0:04:120:04:19

# When like stars his children crowned

0:04:190:04:25

# All in white shall wait around. #

0:04:250:04:37

We gather again this Christmas Eve

0:04:430:04:46

to celebrate the birth of the Christ Child -

0:04:460:04:50

God's gift of love to the human race -

0:04:500:04:54

and to celebrate that good news

0:04:540:04:57

with wonder and with joy.

0:04:570:04:59

We trace, in the words of Scripture,

0:05:010:05:03

the familiar story of angels and shepherds,

0:05:030:05:07

mother and child,

0:05:070:05:09

wise men and gifts,

0:05:090:05:13

and ponder in our hearts

0:05:130:05:15

not only what this gift means,

0:05:150:05:18

but how we might respond to it.

0:05:180:05:21

The faith we celebrate at Christmas

0:05:220:05:24

is that God is with us as our friend and companion.

0:05:240:05:30

A companion who brings the fullness of God's grace

0:05:300:05:34

into the realities of flesh and blood,

0:05:340:05:37

into our pain and distress,

0:05:370:05:41

into our personal hopes

0:05:410:05:43

and common fears.

0:05:430:05:44

A companion who,

0:05:460:05:47

by sharing our life with us,

0:05:470:05:50

heals and reconciles

0:05:500:05:52

through his endless gift of love.

The prophet Isaiah foretells the peace that Christ will bring.

0:08:480:08:51

And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse

0:08:550:08:59

And a branch shall grow out of his roots

0:08:590:09:02

And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him

0:09:020:09:05

The spirit of wisdom and understanding

0:09:060:09:10

The spirit of counsel and might

0:09:100:09:13

The spirit of knowledge

0:09:130:09:16

And of the fear of the Lord

0:09:160:09:18

And shall make him of quick understanding

0:09:180:09:21

In the fear of the Lord

0:09:210:09:23

And he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes

0:09:230:09:27

Neither reprove after the hearing of his ears

0:09:270:09:30

But with righteousness shall he judge the poor

0:09:310:09:35

And reprove with equity for the meek of the earth

0:09:350:09:39

And he shall smite the earth

0:09:400:09:43

With the rod of his mouth

0:09:430:09:45

And with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked

0:09:450:09:49

And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins

0:09:500:09:54

And faithfulness the girdle of his reins

0:09:540:09:58

The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb

0:10:000:10:04

And the leopard shall lie down with the kid

0:10:040:10:07

And the calf and the young lion and the fatling together

0:10:070:10:11

And a little child shall lead them

0:10:110:10:13

And the cow and the bear shall feed

0:10:150:10:17

Their young ones shall lie down together

0:10:170:10:20

And the lion shall eat straw like the ox

0:10:200:10:23

And the sucking child

0:10:250:10:27

Shall play on the hole of the asp

0:10:270:10:29

And the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice's den

0:10:290:10:34

They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain

0:10:380:10:43

For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord

0:10:440:10:48

As the waters cover the sea.

0:10:480:10:50

Thanks be to God.

0:10:520:10:54

# A tender shoot has started up

0:11:060:11:13

# From a root of grace

0:11:130:11:16

# As ancient seers imparted

0:11:160:11:21

# From Jesse's holy race

0:11:210:11:25

-# It blooms without a blight

-It blooms

0:11:250:11:31

# It blooms without a blight

0:11:310:11:37

# Blooms in the cold bleak winter

0:11:370:11:42

# Turning our darkness into light

0:11:420:11:57

# This shoot Isaiah taught us

0:11:570:12:05

# From Jesse's root shall spring

0:12:050:12:09

# The Virgin Mary brought us

0:12:090:12:14

# The branch of which we sing

0:12:140:12:18

-# Our God of endless might

-Our God

0:12:180:12:24

# Our God of endless might

0:12:240:12:30

# Gave her this child to save us

0:12:300:12:36

# Thus turning darkness

0:12:360:12:42

# Into light. #

0:12:420:12:53

# Little lamb, who made thee

0:12:580:13:06

# Dost thou know who made thee

0:13:060:13:14

# Gave thee life and bid thee feed

0:13:140:13:19

# By the stream and o'er the mead

0:13:190:13:24

# Gave thee clothing of delight

0:13:250:13:30

# Softest clothing, woolly bright

0:13:300:13:38

# Gave thee such a tender voice

0:13:390:13:47

# Making all the vales rejoice

0:13:480:13:55

# Little lamb

0:13:550:13:59

# Who made thee

0:13:590:14:06

# Dost thou know

0:14:060:14:14

# Who made thee?

0:14:140:14:27

# Little lamb

0:14:280:14:32

# I'll tell thee

0:14:320:14:36

# Little lamb

0:14:360:14:40

# I'll tell thee

0:14:400:14:45

# He is called by thy name

0:14:450:14:50

# For he calls himself a lamb

0:14:500:14:56

# He is meek and he is mild

0:14:560:15:01

# He became a little child

0:15:010:15:10

# I, a child, and thou, a lamb

0:15:130:15:20

# We are called by his name

0:15:200:15:29

# Little lamb

0:15:290:15:32

# God bless thee

0:15:320:15:40

# Little lamb

0:15:400:15:48

# God bless thee. #

The poet and priest, Rowan Williams,

0:16:150:16:18

offers images of the coming of Christ.

0:16:180:16:20

He will come like last leaf's fall

0:16:220:16:25

One night when the November wind has flayed the trees to bone

0:16:260:16:30

And earth wakes choking on the mould

0:16:300:16:34

The soft shroud's folding

0:16:340:16:36

He will come like frost

0:16:370:16:40

One morning, when the shrinking earth opens on mist

0:16:400:16:44

To find itself arrested in the net of alien, sword-set beauty

0:16:440:16:50

He will come like dark

0:16:510:16:53

One evening, when the bursting red December sun

0:16:540:16:58

Draws up the sheet and penny-masks its eye

0:16:580:17:00

To yield the star-snowed fields of sky

0:17:000:17:03

He will come

0:17:050:17:06

WILL come

0:17:060:17:08

Will come like crying in the night

0:17:080:17:11

Like blood, like breaking

0:17:110:17:13

As the earth writhes to toss him free

0:17:130:17:15

He will come like child.

0:17:170:17:20

The Angel Gabriel brings good news to Mary.

0:28:250:28:29

And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God

0:28:320:28:37

Unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth

0:28:370:28:40

To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph,

0:28:400:28:44

Of the house of David

0:28:440:28:46

And the virgin's name was Mary.

0:28:460:28:49

And the angel came in unto her, and said

0:28:500:28:54

"Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee

0:28:540:28:59

"Blessed art thou among women."

0:28:590:29:02

And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying

0:29:030:29:07

And cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be

0:29:070:29:11

And the angel said unto her, "Fear not, Mary

0:29:120:29:17

"For thou hast found favour with God

0:29:170:29:20

"And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb,

0:29:220:29:27

"And bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus

"The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee

0:30:030:30:07

"And the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee

0:30:070:30:11

"Therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee

"And this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren

0:30:250:30:29

"For with God, nothing shall be impossible."

0:30:310:30:35

And Mary said, "Behold the handmaid of the Lord

0:30:360:30:41

"Be it unto me according to thy word."

0:30:410:30:45

And the angel departed from her.

Thanks be to God.

The wise men are led by a star to Jesus.

0:47:240:47:28

Now, when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea

0:47:290:47:33

In the days of Herod the king

0:47:330:47:36

Behold, there came wise men from the East to Jerusalem, saying

0:47:360:47:41

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

0:47:410:47:44

"For we have seen his star in the East

0:47:440:47:48

"And are come to worship him."

0:47:480:47:50

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

0:47:510:47:56

Enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared

0:47:560:48:01

And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said

0:48:020:48:05

"Go and search diligently for the young child

0:48:050:48:09

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

0:48:090:48:12

"That I may come and worship him, also."

0:48:120:48:16

When they had heard the king, they departed

0:48:170:48:21

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

0:48:210:48:26

Till it came and stood over where the young child was

0:48:260:48:30

When they saw the star

0:48:310:48:33

They rejoiced with exceeding great joy

0:48:330:48:36

And when they were come into the house

0:48:380:48:41

They saw the young child with Mary, his mother

0:48:410:48:44

And fell down, and worshipped him

0:48:440:48:47

And when they had opened their treasures

0:48:480:48:50

They presented unto him gifts

0:48:500:48:53

Gold and frankincense and myrrh

0:48:530:48:57

And being warned of God in a dream

0:48:580:49:02

That they should not return to Herod

0:49:020:49:04

They departed into their own country another way.

UA Fanthorpe reflects on the significance

0:54:580:55:01

of the moment of Christ's birth.

0:55:010:55:03

This was the moment when Before turned into After

0:55:050:55:10

and the future's uninvented timekeepers presented arms

0:55:100:55:14

This was the moment when nothing happened

0:55:160:55:19

Only dull peace sprawled boringly over the earth

0:55:200:55:23

This was the moment when even energetic Romans

0:55:250:55:29

Could find nothing better to do

0:55:290:55:32

Than counting heads in remote provinces

0:55:320:55:34

And this was the moment

0:55:360:55:38

When a few farm workers

0:55:380:55:41

And three members of an obscure Persian sect

0:55:410:55:45

Walked haphazard by starlight

0:55:450:55:48

Straight into the kingdom of heaven.

St John unfolds the great mystery of the incarnation.

1:02:151:02:19

In the beginning was the Word

1:02:211:02:24

And the Word was with God

1:02:241:02:28

And the Word was God

1:02:281:02:29

The same was in the beginning with God

1:02:301:02:33

All things were made by him

1:02:351:02:38

And without him was not any thing made that was made

1:02:381:02:42

In him was life

1:02:441:02:45

And the life was the light of men

1:02:461:02:49

And the light shineth in darkness

1:02:501:02:53

And the darkness comprehended it not

1:02:531:02:56

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

1:02:581:03:03

The same came for a witness

1:03:041:03:07

To bear witness of the light

1:03:071:03:10

That all men through him might believe

1:03:101:03:14

He was not that light

1:03:141:03:17

But was sent to bear witness of that light

1:03:171:03:22

That was the true light

1:03:221:03:24

Which lighteth every man that cometh into the world

1:03:241:03:28

He was in the world

1:03:291:03:32

And the world was made by him

1:03:321:03:35

And the world knew him not

1:03:351:03:37

He came unto his own

1:03:391:03:41

And his own received him not

1:03:411:03:43

But as many as received him

1:03:451:03:47

To them gave he power to become the sons of God

1:03:471:03:52

Even to them that believe on his name

1:03:521:03:56

Which were born, not of blood

1:03:561:03:59

Nor of the will of the flesh

1:03:591:04:02

Nor of the will of man, but of God

1:04:021:04:05

And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us

1:04:071:04:12

And we beheld his glory

1:04:121:04:15

The glory as of the only begotten of the Father

1:04:151:04:18

Full of grace and truth.

1:04:181:04:21

Thanks be to God.
