The Glory of Christmas
Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!

Angels we have heard on high Sweetly singing o’er the plains, And the mountains in reply Echo back their joyous strains Gloria in excelsis Deo! Gloria in excelsis Deo!
(The Choir responds)
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
On Christmas Night, all Christians Sing Angels from the Realms of Glory
The Hope of Christmas
Keep Your Lamps Trimmed and Burning (the time is drawing nigh)
The Promise of Christmas
Prepare the Way of the Lord!
The Wonder of Christmas
Child of Promise, Child of Love Gentle Mary Laid Her Child
The Majesty of Christmas
Angels are Singing, Heavens are Ringing, Jesus is Born Tonight!
(sung by the Children of Hartwood Presbyterian Church)
The Congregation Joins in a new song:
(Please stand as able and sing when directed)
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 angelic host proclaim, “Christ is Born in Bethlehem!” Hark! The herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King”(remain standing as able)
The Children sing again: Jesus is Born tonight!
(Please join in singing)
Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace! Hail the Sun of Righteousness! Light and life to all He brings, Risen with healing in His wings. Mild He lays His glory by,
Born that we no more may die, Born to raise us from the earth,
Born to give us second birth.
Hark! The herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!”
The Mystery of Christmas
Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence Still, Still, Still
Infant Holy, Infant Lowly
The Brilliance of Christmas
