The Recital Has Begun
God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen - Lyrics
God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
VERSE 1
God rest ye merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born upon this day
To save us all from Satan’s power
When we were gone astray
CHORUS
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
VERSE 2
From God our heavenly Father
A blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tidings of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name
VERSE 3
“Fear not” then said the Angel
“Let nothing you affright
This day is born a Savior
Of a pure Virgin bright
To free all those who trust in Him
From Satan’s pow’r and might
BRIDGE
Oh star of wonder star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light
VERSE 4
Now to the Lord sing praises
All you within this place
And with true love and brotherhood
Each other now embrace
This holy child of Christmas
Shall fill our hearts with grace

O Come O Come Emmanuel - Lyrics
O Come O Come Emmanuel
O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
O come, Thou Dayspring
come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
And drive away the shades of night
And pierce the clouds
and bring us light
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
O come, Thou Key of David, come
And open wide our heavenly home
Make safe the way that leads on high
And close the path to misery
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
Old Testament Readings
Isaiah 2:1-5
There’s a day coming
when the mountain of God’s House
Will be The Mountain—
solid, towering over all mountains.
All nations will river toward it,
people from all over set out for it.
They’ll say, “Come,
let’s climb God’s Mountain,
go to the House of the God of Jacob.
He’ll show us the way he works
so we can live the way we’re made.”
Zion’s the source of the revelation.
God’s Message comes from Jerusalem.
He’ll settle things fairly between nations.
He’ll make things right between many peoples.
They’ll turn their swords into shovels,
their spears into hoes.
No more will nation fight nation;
they won’t play war anymore.
Come, family of Jacob,
let’s live in the light of God.
Psalm 122
When they said, “Let’s go to the house of God,”
my heart leaped for joy.
And now we’re here, O Jerusalem,
inside Jerusalem’s walls!
Jerusalem, well-built city,
built as a place for worship!
The city to which the tribes ascend,
all God’s tribes go up to worship,
To give thanks to the name of God—
this is what it means to be Israel.
Thrones for righteous judgment
are set there, famous David-thrones.
Pray for Jerusalem’s peace!
Prosperity to all you Jerusalem-lovers!
Friendly insiders, get along!
Hostile outsiders, keep your distance!
For the sake of my family and friends,
I say it again: live in peace!
For the sake of the house of our God, God,
I’ll do my very best for you.

What a Beautiful Name - Lyrics
What a Beautiful Name
You were the Word at the beginning
One With God the Lord Most High
Your hidden glory in creation
Now revealed in You our Christ
What a beautiful Name it is
What a beautiful Name it is
The Name of Jesus Christ my King
What a beautiful Name it is
Nothing compares to this
What a beautiful Name it is
The Name of Jesus
You didn’t want heaven without us
So Jesus, You brought heaven down
My sin was great, Your love was greater
What could separate us now
What a wonderful Name it is
What a wonderful Name it is
The Name of Jesus Christ my King
What a wonderful Name it is
Nothing compares to this
What a wonderful Name it is
The Name of Jesus
What a wonderful Name it is
The Name of Jesus
Death could not hold You
the veil tore before You
You silenced the boast of sin and grave
The heavens are roaring
the praise of Your glory
For You are raised to life again
Death could not hold You
the veil tore before You
You silenced the boast of sin and grave
The heavens are roaring
the praise of Your glory
For You are raised to life again
You have no rival, You have no equal
Now and forever God You reign
Yours is the Kingdom, Yours is the glory
Yours is the Name above all names
What a powerful Name it is
What a powerful Name it is
The Name of Jesus Christ my King
What a powerful Name it is
Nothing can stand against
What a powerful Name it is
The Name of Jesus
You have no rival, You have no equal
Now and forever God You reign
Yours is the Kingdom, Yours is the glory
Yours is the Name, above all names
What a beautiful Name it is
What a beautiful Name it is
The Name of Jesus Christ my King
What a beautiful Name it is
Nothing can stand against
What a beautiful Name it is
The Name of Jesus
What a beautiful Name it is
The Name of Jesus
What a beautiful Name it is
The Name of Jesus
New Testament Readings
Romans 13:11-14
But make sure that you don’t get so absorbed and exhausted in taking care of all your day-by-day obligations that you lose track of the time and doze off, oblivious to God. The night is about over, dawn is about to break. Be up and awake to what God is doing! God is putting the finishing touches on the salvation work he began when we first believed. We can’t afford to waste a minute, must not squander these precious daylight hours in frivolity and indulgence, in sleeping around and dissipation, in bickering and grabbing everything in sight. Get out of bed and get dressed! Don’t loiter and linger, waiting until the very last minute. Dress yourselves in Christ, and be up and about!
Matthew 24:36-44
“But the exact day and hour? No one knows that, not even heaven’s angels, not even the Son. Only the Father knows.
“The Arrival of the Son of Man will take place in times like Noah’s. Before the great flood everyone was carrying on as usual, having a good time right up to the day Noah boarded the ark. They knew nothing—until the flood hit and swept everything away.
“The Son of Man’s Arrival will be like that: Two men will be working in the field—one will be taken, one left behind; two women will be grinding at the mill—one will be taken, one left behind. So stay awake, alert. You have no idea what day your Master will show up. But you do know this: You know that if the homeowner had known what time of night the burglar would arrive, he would have been there with his dogs to prevent the break-in. Be vigilant just like that. You have no idea when the Son of Man is going to show up.

Poem by Sister Columba Guare
O Eve!
My mother,
my daughter,
life-giving Eve,
Do not be ashamed,
do not grieve.
The former things
have passed away,
Our God has brought
us to a New Day.
See, I am with Child,
Through whom all
will be reconciled.
O Eve!
My sister,
my friend,
We will rejoice together
Forever
Life without end.
Romans 13:11-12
“The night is about over, dawn is about to break. Be up and awake to what God is doing! God is putting the finishing touches on the salvation work he began when we first believed.”
Mary Consoles Eve - Lyrics
Mary Consoles Eve
Eve, my sister
The one who took the fall
Eve, my sister
Mother of us all
Lift up your head
Don’t hide your
blushing face
The promised One
Is finally on His way
Almost, not yet, already
Almost, not yet, already
Eve, it’s Mary
Now I’m a mother too
The child I carry
A promise coming true
This baby comes
to save us from our sin
A servant King,
His kingdom without end
Almost, not yet, already
Almost, not yet, already
Almost, not yet, already
Almost, not yet, already
He comes to make
his blessings flow
As far and wide
as the curse is found
He comes to make
His blessings flow
Almost, not yet, already
Almost, not yet, already
Almost, not yet, already
Almost, not yet, already
Almost, not yet, already
Eve, my sister
The one who took the fall
Eve, my sister
Mother of us all
The promised One
Is finally on His way
