1 WORDS TO CHRISTMAS (Christmas Eve, December 24, 1985) : "The Angels and the Shepherds" "Shepherds, 0 hark ye, glad tidings we bring. Peace and good will to the world now we sing; see in a manger Christ, the Anointed, whom for your Saviour, God hath appointed. Alleluia." "In yonder manger behold now He lies, whom angel voices foretold from the skies. Seeking Thy mercy, we kneel before Thee, singing Thy praises h~mbly adore Thee. Alleluia." "Still through the ages the song doth resound. Peace and good will on earth abound. Bear we the tidings to every nation, born is the Christ Child for man's salvation. Alleluia." : "Susanni" (German Traditional Carol) "A little child there is y-born, Eia, eia, susanni, susanni,. susanni. And He sprang out of Jesse's thorn, Alleluya, alleluya, to save all us that were forlorn." "Now Jesus is the childes name, Eia, eia, susanni, susanni, susanni. And Mary mild she is His dame. Alleluya, Alleluya. And so our sorrow is turned to game." : "Masters In This Hall" (French Traditional Carol) "Masters in this hall, hear ye news today brought from over sea, and ever I you pray: noel, noel, sing we clear! Holpen are all folks on earth, born is God's Son so dear: noel, noel! Noel sing we loud! God today hath poor folk raised and cast adown the proud." "Going o'er the hills, through the milkwhite snow, heard I ewes bleat while the wind did blow: shepherds many and one sat among the sheep, no man spake more word than they had been asleep." "Quoth I, 'Fellows mine, why this guise sit ye? Making but dull cheer, shepherds through ye be?' Shepherds should of right leap and dance and sing, thus. to see ye sit, is a right strange thing. Quoth these fellows then, 'To Bethlehem town we go, to see a mighty Lord lie in manger low.'. 'How. name ye this Lord, shepherds?' Then said I, 'very God.' They said, 'Come Christmas is come in and no folk should be sad." "Noel, noel! sing we clear. Holpen are all folk on earth, born is God's son so dear. Noel, noel! God today hath poor folk raised and cast adown the proud." ~THEM: "0 Holy Night" The words for this traditional Christmas Eve carol are familiar. beautiful carol will be sung in candlelight by the choir.
