Good evening, everyone welcome to our choir cantata This again is one of our traditions that we've had for many many years and when we love

So we're glad you're here so we're gonna Ask God to bless our time together and then we're gonna stand and sing.

Oh come all you faithful. So let's pray Father we're thankful again for tonight. We're thankful that we can

Worship you in music. We're thankful that we can join our voices together and just Praise you with this wonderful gift that you've given us again now father we ask your blessing upon our time together as we

Proclaim the story of the Lord Jesus and so on Well, thank you in Jesus name.

Amen Take the blue books in your in the pew there and turn to number 15

Let's stand He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth the breath of his lips will slay the wicked

Righteousness will be his belt and faithfulness the sash around his waist the wolf will live with the lamb the leopard will lie down with the goat the calf and the lion and the yearling together and a

Little child will lead them the cow will feed with the bear They're young will lie down together and the lion will eat straw like the ox

The infant will play near the Cobras dead The young child will put his hand into the

Vipers nest They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the

Lord as the waters cover the sea And that day the root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the people's

The nation's will rally to him and his resting place will be glorious Praising God and saying glory to God in the highest heaven and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests

When the angels had left them and gone into heaven the shepherds said to one another Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened which the

Lord has told us about So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph and the baby who was lying in the manger

When they had seen him they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child and all

Heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart

The shepherds returned glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen which were just as they had been told

And seeing one stand just to the back already.

Thank you for this time of worship. We had this evening we thank you for the gift of music and song and we thank you that it is a

Way that we may worship you and recall to mind All you have done for us in your great grace and mercy.
