Good evening, on this rare, blustery South Carolina evening.
Welcome to our Candlelight Service here at MCAS Beaufort.
I hope you all are having a very Merry Christmas as we come to remember - The Birth of Our Savior and the New Born King.
Today - I have titled this service - What Child is this?
Our songs and Scripture reading will encourage us to consider - What is the nature of the Child we celebrate on Christmas day?
Song #1: Come All Ye Faithful (#231, v.1-3)
1 O come, all ye faithful,
joyful and triumphant!
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem!
Come and behold him,
born the King of angels.
Refrain:
O come, let us adore him,
O come, let us adore him,
O come, let us adore him,
Christ the Lord!
2 God from true God, and
Light from Light eternal,
born of a virgin, to earth he comes!
Only-begotten Son of God the Father:
Refrain:
O come, let us adore him,
O come, let us adore him,
O come, let us adore him,
Christ the Lord!
3 Sing, choirs of angels,
sing in exultation,
sing, all ye citizens of heav’n above!
Glory to God, all glory in the highest:
Refrain:
O come, let us adore him,
O come, let us adore him,
O come, let us adore him,
Christ the Lord!
Next, if you would sing -
Song #2: Away in A Manger (#232, v.1-3)
1 Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
the little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.
The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay,
the little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.
2 The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes,
but little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.
I love you, Lord Jesus; look down from the sky,
and stay by my side until morning is nigh.
3 Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask you to stay
close by me forever and love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear children in your tender care,
and take us to heaven to live with you there.
As we began here - may we recall Luke’s Gospel and the recording of the Birth of our Savior.
Now May we Pause for a Special tonight.
Special: Silent Night, Holy Night (#236, v. 1-3)
> Rebekah will sing Silent Night by sign language.
> While the rest of us sing Silent Night.
Song #3: Little Town of Bethlehem (#242, v. 1)
1 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.
Song #4: Hark! the Herald Angels Sing (#238, v. 1)
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King:
peace on earth, and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled!"
Joyful, all ye nations, rise,
join the triumph of the skies;
with th'angelic hosts proclaim,
"Christ is born in Bethlehem!"
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King"
Now as we sing next -
Song #5: What Child is this?
(#230, v.1-3)
>>>> I want you to think about that question.
1 What Child is this, who, laid to rest,
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping?
