  1. Your gift of love, they crucified They laughed and scorned Him as He died The humble King, they named a fraud And sacrificed the Lamb of God. Oh, Lamb of God, sweet Lamb of God, I love the holy Lamb of God; Oh, wash me in His precious blood, My Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God.
  2. I was so lost, I should have died But You have brought me to Your side To be led by Your staff and rod And to be called a lamb of God. Oh, Lamb of God, sweet Lamb of God, I love the holy Lamb of God; Oh, wash me in His precious blood, My Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God.

Lord God, we gather at this Christmas time to reflect on the day that our Savior came to earth to take our sins away. We thank you for coming into the Bethlehem manger as Mary’s Little Lamb—the sinless Lamb of God—who would one day be sacrificed on the cross at Calvary. Fill our hearts with joy in his coming this Christmas season and throughout the year, and may we share that joy with everyone. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, Mary’s Little Lamb, and the victorious Lamb of God. Amen.

Cong: Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.

Children: This will be a sign to you:

Cong: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.

Children: Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

Cong: Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.

THE CHRISTMAS GOSPEL (continued)

Children: When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another,

Cong: “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”

Children: So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger.

Cong: When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child,

Children: And all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.

Cong: But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.

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

RECITATION (sung/Traditional Melody) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Children

And so they ran to Bethlehem

And saw the babe so small.

Then spread the news to all.

Can wash me clean of all my sins

And make me white as snow.

  2. Joseph and his wife, Mary, came to Bethlehem that night. They found no place to bear her child, not a single room was in sight.
  3. By and by they found a little nook in a stable all forlorn, and in a manger, cold and dark, Mary’s little boy child was born. Trumpets sound and angels sing. Listen to what they say, that man will live forevermore because of Christmas day

The bread that we yearn for provide us each day; As we forgive others, our sins take away; In times of temptation, to lead us be near; From evil deliver your children most dear.

For yours is the kingdom; o’er all things you reign. And yours is the power; all things you maintain. To you be the glory, resounding again From all of creation, forever. Amen.
