The First Noel,
the Angels did say
00:05:02.69\00:05:09.99
Was to certain poor
shepherds in fields as they lay
00:05:10.02\00:05:17.26
In fields where they
lay keeping their sheep
00:05:17.29\00:05:24.60
On a cold winter's
night that was so deep.
00:05:24.63\00:05:31.94
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
00:05:31.97\00:05:46.19
They looked up and saw
a star Shining in the East
00:05:56.09\00:06:06.65
beyond them far
00:06:06.68\00:06:10.16
And to the earth
it gave great light
00:06:10.19\00:06:17.74
And so it
continued both day and night.
00:06:17.77\00:06:25.10
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
00:06:25.13\00:06:40.02
This star drew
nigh to the northwest
00:06:44.90\00:06:51.93
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest.
00:06:51.96\00:06:58.86
And those who come
to that great light
00:06:58.89\00:07:05.81
come and show us the
Him who was born that night
00:07:05.84\00:07:12.98
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel!
00:07:13.01\00:07:27.87
Then let us all with
one accord Sing praises
00:07:29.13\00:07:38.51
to our heavenly Lord
and offered gifts of worship
00:07:38.54\00:07:48.75
and love to gifts sent
down from heaven above.
00:07:48.78\00:07:58.08
Noel, Noel, Noel,
Noel Born is the King
00:07:58.11\00:08:10.74
Born is the
King, Born is the King
00:08:10.77\00:08:19.24
of Israel!
00:08:19.27\00:08:27.59
Born is the King!
00:08:27.62\00:08:37.21
Silent night, holy night!
All is calm, All is bright
00:10:06.11\00:10:30.21
Round yon
Virgin, Mother and Child
00:10:30.24\00:10:41.63
Holy Infant so Tender and
mild, Sleep in heavenly peace,
00:10:41.66\00:11:05.61
Sleep in heavenly peace.
00:11:05.64\00:11:20.56
Silent night, holy night!
00:11:20.59\00:11:33.84
Shepherds quake at the sight!
00:11:33.87\00:11:44.90
Glories stream from heaven afar;
Heavenly hosts sing Al-le-lu-ia!
00:11:44.93\00:12:06.06
Christ the Saviour is born!
00:12:06.09\00:12:30.06
Silent night, holy night!
00:12:30.09\00:12:42.84
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
00:12:42.87\00:13:04.95
With the dawn of redeeming
grace Jesus Lord at thy birth;
00:13:04.98\00:13:24.82
Jesus Lord at thy birth.
00:13:24.85\00:13:38.43
Silent night, holy night!
00:14:14.96\00:14:29.02
Wondrous star, lend thy light!
00:14:29.05\00:14:35.16
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia
00:14:35.19\00:14:58.06
Our Saviour is born!
00:14:58.09\00:15:09.94
Christ the Saviour is born!
00:15:09.97\00:15:18.04
Silent night, holy night
00:15:18.07\00:15:39.27
There's a Rose in Bethlehem
With a beauty quite divine
00:16:31.08\00:16:44.92
Perfect in this world of
sin On this silent holy night
00:16:44.95\00:16:57.20
There's a fragrance much like
hope That it sends upon the wind
00:16:57.23\00:17:10.51
Reaching out to every
soul From a lowly manger's crib
00:17:10.54\00:17:23.41
Oh, Rose of Bethlehem
How lovely, pure, and sweet
00:17:23.44\00:17:36.56
Born to glorify the Father
Born to wear the thorns for me
00:17:36.59\00:17:51.36
There's a Rose in Bethlehem
Colored red like mercy's blood
00:17:51.39\00:18:07.35
Tis the flower of our faith
Tis the blossom of God's love
00:18:07.38\00:18:20.40
Though its bloom
is fresh with youth
00:18:20.43\00:18:26.75
Surely what will be He
knows For a tear of morning dew
00:18:26.78\00:18:39.84
Is rolling down the Rose
00:18:39.87\00:18:47.38
Oh, Rose of Bethlehem
How lovely, pure, and sweet
00:18:47.41\00:19:00.37
Born to glorify the Father
Born to wear the thorns for me
00:19:00.40\00:19:15.29
Oh Rose of Bethlehem
How lovely, pure, and sweet
00:19:15.32\00:19:37.82
Born to glorify the Father
Born to wear the thorns for me
00:19:37.85\00:20:19.85
Angels sing
Hosanna, Star is in the sky
00:20:47.93\00:20:57.72
The shepherds watch and
wonder at this holy sight
00:20:57.75\00:21:08.51
Gather at the
stable manger for a bed
00:21:08.54\00:21:18.99
They watch the King of
heaven raise His newborn head
00:21:19.02\00:21:30.56
On the very
first, On the very first,
00:21:30.59\00:21:40.49

00:21:40.52\00:21:50.38
Places that were
broken Love stars in the storm
00:21:57.94\00:22:08.20
Love has come to save
us Help has now been born
00:22:08.23\00:22:17.26
Jesus has been given
Come with us to dwell
00:22:17.29\00:22:28.15

On the very
first Christmas morn!
00:23:08.85\00:23:25.69
Beautiful child all
aglow in the candle light
00:24:00.10\00:24:08.05
See how He sleeps
in a poor manger bed
00:24:08.08\00:24:15.58
Beautiful child of
the heaven's adornment
00:24:15.61\00:24:23.86
Starlight of silver and Day

reigning and shines in her face

of the world.

Hallelujah to the Lord.
00:31:18.78\00:31:41.95
And she brought forth her first
born son and wrapped him in
00:31:59.27\00:32:04.64
swaddling clothes and layed him
in a manager because there was
00:32:04.67\00:32:09.26
no room for them in the Inn.
00:32:09.29\00:32:11.37
And there were in the
same country shepherds abiding
00:32:11.40\00:32:15.34
in the field keeping
watch over their flock by night.
00:32:15.37\00:32:19.21
And lo the angel of
the Lord came upon them,
00:32:19.24\00:32:22.46
and the glory of the
Lord shown round about them,
00:32:22.49\00:32:25.03
and they were sore afraid.
00:32:25.06\00:32:27.74
And the angel said unto them,
"Fear not for behold I bring you
00:32:27.77\00:32:31.84
good tidings of great joy,
which shall be to all people.
00:32:31.87\00:32:36.08
For unto you is born this day
in the city of David a Saviour,
00:32:36.11\00:32:42.81
which is Christ the Lord.
00:32:42.84\00:32:45.20
And this shall be a sign unto
you, you shall find the babe
00:32:45.23\00:32:51.07
wrapped in swaddling
clothes lying in a manger.
00:32:51.10\00:32:55.08
And suddenly there was
with the angel a multitude
00:32:55.11\00:32:59.27
of the heavenly host
praising God and saying,
00:32:59.30\00:33:02.30
"Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace goodwill
00:33:02.33\00:33:09.01
toward men. "
00:33:09.04\00:33:10.42
As little children we
would dream of Christmas morn
00:33:32.43\00:33:37.55
Of all the gifts and
toys we knew we'd find
00:33:37.58\00:33:45.11
But we never realized a
baby born one blessed night
00:33:45.14\00:33:53.60
Gave us the great
gift of our lives.
00:33:53.63\00:34:01.42
We were the reason
that He gave His life
00:34:01.45\00:34:08.25
We were the reason
that He suffered and died
00:34:08.28\00:34:14.92
To a world that was lost
He gave all He could give
00:34:14.95\00:34:20.88
To show us the reason to live.
00:34:20.91\00:34:28.86
As the years went by we
learned more about gifts
00:34:28.89\00:34:44.91
The giving of
ourselves and what that means
00:34:44.94\00:34:51.91
On a dark and cloudy day a
man hung crying in the rain
00:34:51.94\00:35:00.39
All because of
love because of love
00:35:00.42\00:35:08.51
We were the reason
that He gave His life
00:35:08.54\00:35:15.55
We were the reason
that He suffered and died
00:35:15.58\00:35:22.32
To a world that was lost
He gave all He could give
00:35:22.35\00:35:29.11
To show us the reason to live.
00:35:29.14\00:35:35.31
I finally found
the reason for living
00:35:35.34\00:35:41.23
It's in giving every
part of my heart to Him
00:35:41.26\00:35:49.61
And all that I do,
every word that I say
00:35:49.64\00:35:55.64
I'll be giving my all
just for Him, just for Him.
00:35:55.67\00:36:06.73
We were the reason
that He gave His life
00:36:06.76\00:36:13.05
We are the reason
that He suffered and died
00:36:13.08\00:36:20.01
To a world that was lost
He gave all He could give,
00:36:20.04\00:36:26.08
To show us the reason to live.
00:36:26.11\00:36:33.33
In the bleak midwinter,
frosty wind made moan,
00:40:38.33\00:40:48.73
Earth stood hard as
iron, water like a stone;
00:40:48.76\00:41:01.18
Snow had fallen, snow
on snow, snow on snow,
00:41:01.21\00:41:13.33
In the bleak
midwinter, long ago.
00:41:13.36\00:41:25.88
Our God, Heaven cannot
hold Him, nor earth sustain;
00:41:29.53\00:41:40.56
Heaven and earth shall flee
away when He comes to reign.
00:41:40.59\00:41:52.59
In the bleak midwinter
a stable place sufficed
00:41:52.62\00:42:04.83
The Lord God
Almighty, Jesus Christ.
00:42:04.86\00:42:17.03
Angels and archangels
may have gathered there,
00:42:17.06\00:42:37.11
Cherubim and
seraphim thronged in the air;
00:42:37.14\00:42:48.56
But His mother
only, in her maiden bliss,
00:42:48.59\00:43:00.52
Worshipped the
beloved with a kiss.
00:43:00.55\00:43:12.69
Yet what can I
give Him, poor as I am?
00:43:16.58\00:43:28.18
If I were a
shepherd, I would bring a lamb;
00:43:28.21\00:43:41.11
If I were a Wise
Man, I would do my part;
00:43:41.14\00:43:54.72
Yet what can I give
Him: give Him my heart.
00:43:54.75\00:44:12.52
Be faithful, the
Lord is with you.
00:44:59.31\00:45:11.80
Don't be afraid.
00:45:11.83\00:45:19.32
You shall have a son.
00:45:19.35\00:45:26.58
He shall be great;
the Son of God most high.
00:45:26.61\00:45:38.41
And He shall reign.
00:45:38.44\00:45:41.90
His kingdom shall have no end.
00:45:41.93\00:45:49.72
Hail, faithful one;
the Lord is with you.
00:45:49.75\00:46:07.84
I'm just a simple
girl from a simple world
00:46:12.00\00:46:18.91
Oh angel, How can this be?
00:46:18.94\00:46:25.63
How can I have a child
when I'm still a child?
00:46:25.66\00:46:33.21
Please tell me, how can this be?
00:46:33.24\00:46:40.95
I'm still a virgin.
00:46:40.98\00:46:44.06
What will my parents say?
00:46:44.09\00:46:52.03
And what about Joseph?
00:46:52.06\00:46:55.58
Can I really expect
him to stay with me?
00:46:55.61\00:47:05.05
Oh angel, I believe
what you've said to me.
00:47:05.08\00:47:13.86
The Lord is with me.
00:47:13.89\00:47:19.63
I had this crazy
dream last night.
00:47:25.81\00:47:30.53
An angel spoke to me
and said, It's alright.
00:47:30.56\00:47:40.03
Sweet Mary
carries God's own Son.
00:47:40.06\00:47:45.27
And you shall
call His name Jesus.
00:47:45.30\00:47:54.61
Don't be afraid; take
Mary to be your bride.
00:47:54.64\00:48:05.00
Don't be afraid; take Mary
to be your wife, your wife.
00:48:05.03\00:48:19.14
An angel spoke to me last night.
00:48:19.17\00:48:26.18
The Lord is with you.
00:48:26.21\00:48:39.09
I'm just a simple
girl from a simple world.
00:48:39.12\00:48:44.70
An angel spoke to me.
00:48:44.73\00:48:46.99
How can this be?
00:48:47.02\00:48:49.84
How can I have a child
when I'm still a child?
00:48:52.88\00:48:59.50
Please tell me; how can this be?
00:48:59.53\00:49:08.23
I'm still a virgin.
00:49:08.26\00:49:11.38
What will my parents say?
00:49:11.41\00:49:22.12
And what about Joseph?
00:49:22.15\00:49:25.79
Can I really expect
Him to stay with me?
00:49:25.82\00:49:36.44
Oh angel don't lie to
me; what you said to me.
00:49:36.47\00:49:44.05
The Lord is with me.
00:49:44.08\00:50:14.39
And it came to pass, as the
angels were gone away from them
00:50:29.80\00:50:34.95
into heaven, the
shepherds said to one another,
00:50:34.98\00:50:38.06
Let us now go even unto
Bethlehem, and see this thing
00:50:38.09\00:50:42.35
which is come to pass, which the
Lord hath made known unto us.
00:50:42.38\00:50:47.49
And they came with haste,
and found Mary and Joseph,
00:50:47.52\00:50:51.23
and the babe lying in a manger.
00:50:51.26\00:50:53.57
And when they had seen it, they
made known abroad the saying
00:50:53.60\00:50:57.84
which was told them
concerning this child.
00:50:57.87\00:50:59.62
And all they that heard
it wondered at those things
00:50:59.65\00:51:04.96
which were told
them by the shepherds.
00:51:04.99\00:51:07.13
But Mary kept all these things,
and pondered them in her heart.
00:51:07.16\00:51:12.15
And the shepherds returned,
glorifying and praising God
00:51:12.18\00:51:16.43
for all the things that
they had heard and seen,
00:51:16.46\00:51:19.74
as it was told unto them.
00:51:19.77\00:51:21.70
The little Lord
Jesus asleep on the hay.
00:51:38.61\00:51:48.84
Away in a
manger, no crib for a bed
00:51:48.87\00:51:59.27
The little Lord Jesus
lay down His sweet head.
00:51:59.30\00:52:08.06
The stars in the sky
looked down where He lay
00:52:08.09\00:52:16.72
The little Lord
Jesus asleep on the hay.
00:52:16.75\00:52:26.61
The cattle are
lowing, the poor baby wakes
00:52:29.94\00:52:37.81
But little Lord
Jesus no crying He makes.
00:52:37.84\00:52:45.88
I love Thee Lord
Jesus, look down from the sky
00:52:45.91\00:52:54.16
And stay by my cradle
'till morning is nigh.
00:52:54.19\00:53:06.73
Be near me Lord
Jesus, I ask Thee to stay
00:53:06.76\00:53:16.14
Close by me
forever, and love me I pray
00:53:16.17\00:53:24.04
Bless all the dear
Children in Thy tender care
00:53:24.07\00:53:31.98
And fit us for heaven
to live with Thee there,
00:53:32.01\00:53:40.70
to live with Thee
there, to live with Thee there.
00:53:40.73\00:53:53.24
Still, still, still, One
can hear the falling snow.
00:57:46.64\00:57:59.56
For all is hushed,
The world is sleeping,
00:57:59.59\00:58:07.80
Holy Star its vigil keeping.
00:58:07.83\00:58:14.78
Still, still, still, One
can hear the falling snow.
00:58:14.81\00:58:29.92
Sleep, sleep, sleep, 'Tis
the eve of our Savior's birth.
00:58:42.11\00:58:55.64
The night is
peaceful all around you,
00:58:55.67\00:59:03.22
Close your eyes,
Let sleep surround you.
00:59:03.25\00:59:10.92
Sleep, sleep, sleep, 'Tis
the eve of our Savior's birth.
00:59:10.95\00:59:26.70
Dream, dream, dream,
Of the joyous day to come.
00:59:45.09\00:59:58.35
While guardian
angels without number,
00:59:58.38\01:00:06.21
Watch you as
you sweetly slumber,
01:00:06.24\01:00:14.14
Dream, dream, dream,
Of the joyous day to come.
01:00:14.17\01:00:29.85
Of the joyous day to come.
01:00:29.88\01:00:48.53
We are so thankful
to have each of you here
01:01:00.95\01:01:03.41
at Sacramental Central.
01:01:03.44\01:01:04.81
It's just a delight to
have a program like this
01:01:04.84\01:01:07.42
where people all come
together from the community
01:01:07.45\01:01:09.61
and just
celebrate this time of year,
01:01:09.64\01:01:11.89
and what this
event really means.
01:01:11.92\01:01:13.95
And we're just
delighted that you are here.
01:01:13.98\01:01:16.46
We know that we have visitors
here who are from neighboring
01:01:16.49\01:01:19.91
churches, and we know
that we have people who are
01:01:19.94\01:01:22.27
from the neighborhood.
01:01:22.30\01:01:23.67
And we we've got a lot of people
here that maybe don't normally
01:01:23.70\01:01:27.32
see each other except
on occasions like this.
01:01:27.35\01:01:30.77
I wonder if we could
bring the house lights up just
01:01:30.80\01:01:33.25
a little bit.
01:01:33.28\01:01:34.65
It may not be on the schedule.
01:01:34.68\01:01:36.89
Have you met the people in
front of you and behind you?
01:01:36.92\01:01:40.74
Would you take just a moment
and say hello, and tell them
01:01:40.77\01:01:45.38
Merry Christmas, and
you're glad to see them here?
01:01:45.41\01:01:47.93
You know, and I apologize.
01:01:54.89\01:01:56.84
You know, I wanted you to
have fun, but I didn't want you
01:02:03.82\01:02:06.74
to have that much fun!
01:02:06.77\01:02:08.14
Now, you know, I've been walking
around this church during the
01:02:12.14\01:02:14.66
program a little bit, and
it's cold around the edges;
01:02:14.69\01:02:18.64
we've actually opened some
of the doors to let some more
01:02:18.67\01:02:21.11
air in, and it's
hot in the middle.
01:02:21.14\01:02:22.57
And someone said it's sort'a
like microwaving a turkey.
01:02:22.60\01:02:25.85
It's just always warm in the
middle and cold on the outside.
01:02:25.88\01:02:30.81
You know, there's
something about baby's.
01:02:30.84\01:02:33.84
And we're singing and
talking a lot about babies.
01:02:33.87\01:02:39.56
Somebody once descripted
babies as a small apparatus
01:02:39.59\01:02:43.46
with a loud noise at one
end, and no responsibility
01:02:43.49\01:02:46.84
at the other.
01:02:46.87\01:02:48.24
Well, what is it about baby's
that will make a grown person
01:02:48.27\01:02:52.51
get down on the ground and
coo, and gurgle, and communicate
01:02:52.54\01:02:57.94
like that?
01:02:57.97\01:03:00.03
When a baby is newly introduced
into a home it seems like it
01:03:00.06\01:03:04.35
changes everything.
01:03:04.38\01:03:05.75
Somebody said that is
exhibit A of minority rule;
01:03:05.78\01:03:09.66
is when a little baby comes into
a home so many things change.
01:03:09.69\01:03:14.92
The Bible tells us in Isaiah
9:6 For unto us a child is born,
01:03:14.95\01:03:22.52
unto us a son is given.
01:03:22.55\01:03:24.85
Even if you go to Revelation
12 verse 5, it says a woman
01:03:24.88\01:03:29.55
brought forth a man child,
who was to rule all nations
01:03:29.58\01:03:34.24
with a rod of iron.
01:03:34.27\01:03:35.64
A baby that rules caught
up to God and His throne.
01:03:35.67\01:03:40.62
I heard an interesting story;
it was actually written about
01:03:40.65\01:03:44.28
a hundred years ago, about
the most notorious mining camp
01:03:44.31\01:03:49.69
in California
following the "gold rush".
01:03:49.72\01:03:53.13
It was a place called Roaring
Camp, and it was filled with
01:03:53.16\01:03:57.81
just some of the meanest
men that you can imagine:
01:03:57.84\01:04:01.94
murders, stealing, drunkenness,
violence, and all that goes
01:04:01.97\01:04:09.77
with that.
01:04:09.80\01:04:11.17
The whole town was full with men
with the exception of one woman
01:04:11.20\01:04:13.90
by the name of Cherokee
Sal, and she tried to take
01:04:13.93\01:04:16.03
care of everybody.
01:04:17.93\01:04:19.30
Well, in the process of time
Cherokee Sal became pregnant,
01:04:19.33\01:04:24.27
but she died giving birth.
01:04:24.30\01:04:27.10
And suddenly all of those rough,
ornery men found themselves
01:04:27.13\01:04:31.76
taking care of a little
baby boy, and it was awkward,
01:04:31.79\01:04:36.45
to say the least.
01:04:36.48\01:04:37.85
They put the little
babe in a wooden box.
01:04:37.88\01:04:39.88
Some of the
miners had some goats.
01:04:39.91\01:04:41.96
They found he took
pretty well to the goat milk.
01:04:41.99\01:04:44.01
But it didn't look right
with him sitting in that box
01:04:44.04\01:04:48.75
surrounded with
all those dirty rags.
01:04:48.78\01:04:50.89
Some of the men had
been raised better than that!
01:04:50.92\01:04:52.77
So they sent one of
their group down to Sacramento
01:04:52.80\01:04:56.07
and they said, you need
to pick up a real cradle.
01:04:56.10\01:04:58.08
They thought about bringing in
another woman to help take care
01:04:58.11\01:05:00.84
of the baby, but they said,
that any woman that would come
01:05:00.87\01:05:02.80
to this camp with all these
ornery men can't be trusted.
01:05:02.83\01:05:05.80
They said, We'd
better take care of him.
01:05:05.83\01:05:09.34
And there was also some
suspicion about which of them
01:05:09.37\01:05:12.31
was the father, so they
felt a little obligation.
01:05:12.34\01:05:16.53
They sent one of the men down
to Sacramento and picked up a
01:05:16.56\01:05:20.56
beautiful rosewood cradle.
01:05:20.59\01:05:24.08
They brought it up into their
central building that they had
01:05:24.11\01:05:27.44
in Roaring Camp.
01:05:27.47\01:05:28.84
They set up the cradle, and they
put the baby in there surrounded
01:05:28.87\01:05:30.76
by the rags.
01:05:30.79\01:05:32.16
They all looked at each other
and said This still isn't right.
01:05:32.19\01:05:34.06
So another one of their company
went down to San Francisco
01:05:34.09\01:05:37.24
and picked up some silk
blankets and brought them back.
01:05:37.27\01:05:39.49
That looked much better,
but now the floor looked filthy.
01:05:39.52\01:05:42.95
I mean they were just
spitting tobacco everywhere.
01:05:42.98\01:05:45.77
So those rough, dirty men
got down and started to sand
01:05:45.80\01:05:48.95
and to clean the floor.
01:05:48.98\01:05:50.45
And that looked much better,
but then by contrast the walls
01:05:50.48\01:05:53.39
needed some help, so
they white washed the walls,
01:05:53.42\01:05:57.51
and then they white
washed them inside and out,
01:05:57.54\01:05:59.43
and then they
hung up some curtains.
01:05:59.46\01:06:00.83
And one of them, he was
one of the biggest and meanest
01:06:00.86\01:06:04.58
of them all, named Stubby.
01:06:04.61\01:06:05.98
He went to tickle the baby's
check one day and it reached
01:06:06.01\01:06:09.12
for his finger and tried to pull
his dirty finger into its mouth.
01:06:09.15\01:06:12.04
From that day on Stubby
said, Nobody touches the baby
01:06:12.07\01:06:16.14
unless you wash your hands.
01:06:16.17\01:06:18.36
Immediately the little
towns sold out all of their soap
01:06:18.40\01:06:22.11
in one day.
01:06:22.14\01:06:23.52
And they'd want to sit
in the one rocking chair
01:06:23.55\01:06:26.70
and hold the baby, but it was
up against their dirty shirts,
01:06:26.73\01:06:29.34
and he, Stubby, said, You've
got to wash your clothes, too,
01:06:29.37\01:06:32.81
so you can hold the baby.
01:06:32.84\01:06:34.21
So they started
washing their clothes.
01:06:34.24\01:06:36.89
And they noticed that when they
drank and fought the baby had
01:06:36.92\01:06:40.48
problems sleeping, so they
cut way back on their drinking.
01:06:40.51\01:06:43.89
And some of them didn't think it
was right that they be cursing
01:06:43.92\01:06:46.69
around the baby, so they
started giving up their cursing.
01:06:46.72\01:06:51.83
They took the baby up to
the mines when they were working
01:06:51.86\01:06:54.66
in the mines and just
sit it in its rosewood cradle
01:06:54.69\01:06:56.88
where all the mining
dirt and tailings were.
01:06:56.91\01:06:59.85
And some of them said,
That's no way to treat a baby,
01:06:59.88\01:07:02.82
so they planted some flowers.
01:07:02.85\01:07:05.34
And little by little
the whole camp was changed
01:07:05.37\01:07:11.75
by the introduction of a baby.
01:07:11.78\01:07:13.64
There's something about baby's.
01:07:13.67\01:07:16.98
You put them into a family
and everything's different.
01:07:17.01\01:07:21.48
You know, one thing
you can all brag about:
01:07:21.51\01:07:24.06
You were all baby's once.
01:07:24.09\01:07:25.80
A little boy was riding to
school with his mother one day
01:07:25.83\01:07:30.15
and he became very pensive.
01:07:30.18\01:07:31.55
He said, Mom were you
there when I was born?
01:07:31.58\01:07:35.00
We've all been baby's, with
the exception of Adam and Eve.
01:07:35.03\01:07:41.80
But when God came to the
world in the form of a man,
01:07:41.83\01:07:45.28
He became a baby.
01:07:45.31\01:07:46.68
And the whole world has
been changed and calibrated
01:07:46.71\01:07:51.39
by that gift.
01:07:51.42\01:07:52.79
Now I'd like to
illustrate that, if I might.
01:07:52.82\01:07:58.59
We've been hearing a lot
of beautiful music tonight;
01:08:02.24\01:08:05.02
up until now anyway.
01:08:05.05\01:08:08.66
This is a tuning fork.
01:08:08.69\01:08:13.55
It's very small.
01:08:13.58\01:08:15.27
I found out yesterday that the
key of A costs $5 less than the
01:08:15.30\01:08:22.18
key of E, and even the music
fellow couldn't figure out why.
01:08:22.21\01:08:25.78
So I bought the Key of A.
01:08:25.81\01:08:27.18
But you take this...
isn't that interesting?
01:08:27.21\01:08:41.42
Maybe you're not...
that was amazing to me.
01:08:41.45\01:08:43.90
Listen... now if you do that
anywhere else it doesn't work.
01:08:43.93\01:08:50.81
But if you set it in the right
place it sends music through
01:08:50.84\01:08:54.85
the whole building echoing.
01:08:54.88\01:08:57.77
And God sent His Son into
the world not just anywhere,
01:08:57.80\01:09:02.73
and anytime.
01:09:02.76\01:09:04.13
He sent Him at just the
right place, and the right time.
01:09:04.16\01:09:08.16
And the whole world now
is calibrated by that birth
01:09:08.19\01:09:14.50
in that little town 2,015 years
ago, and it's still effecting
01:09:14.53\01:09:20.34
the world today.
01:09:20.37\01:09:21.74
You know this song probably.
01:09:21.77\01:09:23.82
Oh little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie!
01:09:32.86\01:09:43.34
Above thy deep and dreamless
sleep, The silent stars go by.
01:09:43.37\01:09:54.14
Yet in thy dark streets
shineth, The everlasting Light.
01:09:54.17\01:10:04.19
The hopes and fears of all the
years, Are met in thee tonight.
01:10:04.22\01:10:16.01
Do you want to sing a
couple of verses with me?
01:10:16.04\01:10:18.54
We're going to put
them up on the screen.
01:10:18.57\01:10:20.65
Let's sing them together.
01:10:20.68\01:10:22.39
And I think we're
going to be joined.
01:10:22.42\01:10:24.05
Oh, how silently, how silently,
The wondrous Gift is giv'n!
01:10:24.08\01:10:36.45
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven.
01:10:36.48\01:10:47.39
No ear may hear His coming,
But in this world of sin,
01:10:47.42\01:10:59.59
Where meek souls
will receive Him still,
01:10:59.62\01:11:06.81
The dear Christ enters in.
01:11:06.84\01:11:14.45
Oh holy Child of Bethlehem,
Descend to us, we pray;
01:11:14.48\01:11:27.91
Cast out our sins and
enter in, Be born in us today.
01:11:27.94\01:11:42.25
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell:
01:11:42.28\01:11:55.66
Oh, come to us, abide
with us, Our Lord Emmanuel!
01:11:55.69\01:12:13.61
We'd just like to pray with
you right now before we move on
01:12:13.64\01:12:19.27
with our program.
01:12:19.30\01:12:20.67
And we trust that the Holy
Spirit has spoken to your heart
01:12:20.70\01:12:23.10
through the words
and through the music.
01:12:23.13\01:12:24.77
Dear Father in Heaven,
we're just amazed that You would
01:12:24.80\01:12:33.20
come into this world and
become one of us to save us.
01:12:33.23\01:12:36.30
And it is truly a mystery
how God could become a man,
01:12:36.33\01:12:40.99
and yet become even an infant.
01:12:41.02\01:12:43.32
And Lord, we think that
this life that You gave,
01:12:43.35\01:12:47.75
this precious, innocent,
pure life that You gave,
01:12:47.78\01:12:50.98
and then You lived,
gives us all hope somehow.
01:12:51.01\01:12:54.54
Lord I pray that each person
here, that our hearts will be
01:12:54.57\01:12:58.90
open, and that You can be
born in us, just as You were
01:12:58.93\01:13:03.77
miraculously born in Mary.
01:13:03.80\01:13:05.40
Bless us now.
01:13:05.43\01:13:06.80
May we glorify You through
this program, and in our lives
01:13:06.83\01:13:10.56
from this point on.
01:13:10.59\01:13:11.96
We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
01:13:11.99\01:13:14.87

01:13:42.76\01:13:46.99
and heaven, and
heaven, and nature sing.
01:13:47.02\01:13:56.57
For unto us a child is
born, Unto us a Son is giv'n;
01:13:56.60\01:14:04.54

My God my Savior came
And Jesus was His name
01:18:53.96\01:19:03.51
Born in a manger
To His own, a stranger
01:19:03.54\01:19:12.72

It is the night of
our dear Savior's birth
01:22:16.48\01:22:24.24
Long lay the world
in sin and error pining
01:22:24.27\01:22:31.15
'Til He appeared and
the soul felt its worth
01:22:31.18\01:22:38.23
A thrill of hope
the weary world rejoices
01:22:38.26\01:22:45.19
For yonder breaks a
new and glorious morn
01:22:45.22\01:22:51.65
Fall on your knees
01:22:51.68\01:22:57.63
Oh hear the angel voices
01:22:57.66\01:23:04.31
O night divine!
01:23:04.34\01:23:10.80

Oh night, O holy
night, O night divine!
01:23:17.15\01:23:31.54
Truly He taught us
to love one another,
01:23:35.26\01:23:41.98
His law is love and
His gospel is peace.
01:23:42.01\01:23:49.83
Chains shall He break,
for the slave is our brother.
01:23:49.86\01:23:56.72
And in His name, all
oppression shall cease
01:23:56.75\01:24:03.43
Sweet hymns of joy in
grateful chorus raise we
01:24:03.46\01:24:10.48
Let all within us
praise His holy name
01:24:10.51\01:24:16.87
Christ is the Lord!
01:24:16.90\01:24:22.88

O hear the angel voices
01:25:02.32\01:25:08.93
Oh night divine!
01:25:08.96\01:25:14.88
