Communion
1.What Child is this who, laid to res
On Mary’s lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems
sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels
sing;
2. Why lies He in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christians, fear, for sinners
here
The silent Word is pleading.
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angel
sing;
3. So bring Him incense, gold, and my
Come peasant, king to own Him;
The King of kings salvation brings,
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels si
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
Recessional:
In a small town close to
Bethlehem came the hope
we’ve waited for,
the world changed forever
more when love that night
was born.
A perfect child he gently
awaits,
his mother kisses his face,
wrapped in simple swaddling
clothes,
Jesus was born that day!
Chorus:
Angels fill the night sky as
they sing, Hallelujah He is
Christ our King! Love came
down let the church bells ring,
Happy New Year to you all!
