December 13, 2020 Preparation for Worship Time for Gathering Opening Hymn: “Once in Royal David’s City” 1 Once in royal David's city stood a lowly cattle shed, where a mother laid her baby in a manger for his bed: Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ, her little child. 2 He came down to earth from heaven who is God and Lord of all, and his shelter was a stable, and his cradle was a stall: with the poor, and mean, and lowly, lived on earth our Saviour holy. 3 For He is our childhood's pattern; Day by day, like us, He grew; He was little, weak, and helpless, Tears and smiles, like us He knew; And He cares when we are sad, And he shares when we are glad. 4 And our eyes at last shall see Him, Through His own redeeming love; For that Child so dear and gentle, Is our Lord in heaven above: And He leads His children on, To the place where He is gone. Prayer of Praise Song of Worship Prayers of the Church and the Prayer of our Lord Offering and a Christmas Carol: Away in a Manger Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
