- Prelude

- Hymn 123 - From Heav'n Above To Earth I Come: vv. 1, 2, & 6

- Luke 2: 1-7: And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. 2 This census first took place while Quirinius was governing Syria. 3 So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city. 4 Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, 5 to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child. 6 So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. 7 And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

- Solo: Mary's Lullaby by John Rutter: See the Child that Mary bore On her lap so softly sleeping In a stable cold and poor, Ox and ass their vigil keeping. Sing lullaby, sing lullaby, my own dear Son, my Child; Lullaby, sing lullaby; Lullaby, my little Baby. Shepherds kneeling by His bed Offer homage without measure; Wise men, by a bright star led, Bring Him gifts of richest treasure.
