COMMUNION

You Came among Us at Christmas Time RESONET IN LAUDIBUS

Some Children See Him ALFRED BURT

Some children see Him lily white, the Baby Jesus born this night.

Some children see Him lily white with tresses soft and fair. Some children see Him bronzed and brown the Lord of heav’n to earth come down.

Some children see Him bronzed and brown with dark and heavy hair.

Some children see Him almond eyed this Savior whom we kneel beside. Some children see Him almond eyed with skin of yellow hue.

Some children see Him dark as they, Sweet Mary’s son to whom we pray. Some children see Him dark as they and ah! They love Him too!

The children in each different place will see the Baby Jesus’ face like theirs, but bright with

heaven’ly grace and filled with holy light. O lay aside each earthly thing and with Thy heart as offering, come worship now the Infant King. ‘tis night!

CLOSING:

JOY TO THE WORLD

ANTIOCH

Joy to the world! The Lord is come. Let earth receive her King;

Let every heart prepare Him room; And heav’n and nature sing, And heav’n and nature sing. And heav’n and heav’n and nature sing.

Joy to the world, the Savior reigns Let men their songs employ.

While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat the sounding joy Repeat the sounding joy.

He rules the world with truth and grace, And makes the nations prove

The glories of His righteousness. And wonders of His love, And wonders of His love, And wonders, wonders of His love.

GOD REST YOU MERRY, GENTLEMEN
