Communion Procession I Away in a Manger

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 cradle till 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 fit us for heaven to live with you there. Tune: MUELLER , 11 11 11 11; James Murray, 1841-1905; harm. by Robert J. Batastini, © 1994, GIA Publications, Inc Text: St. 1-2, anonymous, st. 3, John T. McFarland, 1851-1913

Communion Procession II Infant Holy, Infant Lowly

1. Infant holy, Infant lowly, For his bed a cattle stall; Oxen lowing, Little knowing Christ the babe is Lord of all. Swift are winging Angels singing, Noels ringing, Tidings bringing: Christ the babe is Lord of all. Christ the babe is Lord of all. 2. Flocks were sleeping: Shepherds keeping Vigil till the morning new. Saw the glory, Heard the story, Tidings of a gospel true. Thus rejoicing, Free from sorrow, Praises voicing Greet the morrow: Christ the babe was born for you. Christ the babe was born for you. Text: Polish Carol; para. By Edith M.G. Reed. 1885-1933 Tune: W ZLOBIE LEZY, 44 7 44 7 4444 7; Polish Carol; harm. by A. E. Rusbridge, 1917-1969, © Rosalind Rusbridge Prayer after Communion

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son,

who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead

and the life of the world to come.

Amen. Prayers of Intercession

Homily

Profession of Faith The Nicene Creed

I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth,

of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,

the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light,

true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;

through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation

he came down from heaven, (bow) and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,

and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,

he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day

in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated

at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory

to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.
