LESSONS AND CAROLS FOR CHRISTMAS
Sunday, December 28, 2014
Heavenly angels spoke to earthly shepherds and eternity
entered time in the child of Bethlehem. Through the telling
of the Christmas story, let our temporal lives be caught up
in the eternal in that same child, that we might join
shepherds and all the heavenly host in praising the coming of Jesus
Christ, our Savior. Sing to God a new song—a song of hope, joy, and
peace around the world.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF LESSONS AND CAROLS
In 1880 E. W. Benson, then Bishop of Truro, drew up a Festival of Nine Lessons
and Carols, based on ancient sources, for use on Christmas Eve in the wooden shed
which served as his cathedral. In 1918 this was adapted for use in the chapel of
King’s College, Cambridge by its Dean, Eric Milner-White. There are
traditionally nine lessons and carols; however, this morning we will hear seven,
concluding with the Slaughter of the Holy Innocents, which is commemorated on
December 28. The rest of today’s lessons are taken from those not read on
Christmas morning, and the First and Second Sundays after Christmas since we
will be celebrating the Epiphany of Our Lord next Sunday, January 4.

SERVICE OF HOLY COMMUNION
In the principal service of Christian worship, the Holy Spirit gathers people
around the means of grace—the saving Word of God and the sacraments.
From the table of communion where Jesus Christ comes with forgiveness, life, and
salvation, God sends us out to share the good news and to care for those in need.

 GATHERING 
Worship begins with God who takes the initiative and calls us into being.
We gather at the Holy Spirit’s invitation and assemble as the community of faith
on the first day of the week, the day of Christ’s resurrection.
Upon entering the sanctuary, the people pray silently or engage in quiet meditation
allowing the music to focus their attention on God and God’s kingdom.
The sanctuary doors will be closed as worship begins with the prelude.
All hymns are in the back pages of this bulletin

P

The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light.
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not
overcome it.
Those who dwelt in the land of deep darkness, on them light has
shined.
We have beheld Christ’s glory, glory as of the only Son from
the Father.
To us a child is born, to us a Son is given.
In the Word was life, and the life was the light of all people.
A brief silence.
3
P God of all the ages, in the birth of Christ your boundless love for your
people shattered the power of darkness. Be born in us with that same
love and light, that our song may blend with all the choirs of heaven
and earth to the glory of your holy name.
C Amen.
Be seated.
 WORD 
God speaks to us in scripture reading, preaching, and song.
FIRST LESSON
L
Isaiah 52:7-10
Heralds announce God’s salvation.
7
How beautiful upon the mountains
are the feet of the messenger who announces peace,
who brings good news,
who announces salvation,
who says to Zion, "Your God reigns."
8
Listen! Your sentinels lift up their voices,
together they sing for joy;
for in plain sight they see
the return of the LORD to Zion.
9
Break forth together into singing,
you ruins of Jerusalem;
for the LORD has comforted his people,
he has redeemed Jerusalem.
10
The LORD has bared his holy arm
before the eyes of all the nations;
and all the ends of the earth shall see
the salvation of our God.
L
C
This is the Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
FIRST CAROL

SECOND LESSON
Isiah 61:10—62:3

ELW 270
L
Clothed in garments of salvation.
10
I will greatly rejoice in the LORD,
my whole being shall exult in my God;
for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation,
he has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland,
and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11
For as the earth brings forth its shoots,
and as a garden causes what is sown in it to spring up,
so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise
to spring up before all the nations.
1
For Zion's sake I will not keep silent,
and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest,
until her vindication shines out like the dawn,
and her salvation like a burning torch.
2
The nations shall see your vindication,
and all the kings your glory;
and you shall be called by a new name
that the mouth of the LORD will give.
3
You shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of the LORD,
and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.

This is the Word of the Lord.

Jeremiah 31:7-14
Joy at the gathering of God’s scattered flock.
7
For thus says the LORD:
Sing aloud with gladness for Jacob,
and raise shouts for the chief of the nations;
proclaim, give praise, and say,
"Save, O LORD, your people,
5
ELW 272
the remnant of Israel."
See, I am going to bring them from the land of the north,
and gather them from the farthest parts of the earth,
among them the blind and the lame,
those with child and those in labor, together;
a great company, they shall return here.
9
With weeping they shall come,
and with consolations I will lead them back,
I will let them walk by brooks of water,
in a straight path in which they shall not stumble;
for I have become a father to Israel,
and Ephraim is my firstborn.
10
Hear the word of the LORD, O nations,
and declare it in the coastlands far away;
say, "He who scattered Israel will gather him,
and will keep him as a shepherd a flock."
11
For the LORD has ransomed Jacob,
and has redeemed him from hands too strong for him.
12
They shall come and sing aloud on the height of Zion,
and they shall be radiant over the goodness of the LORD,
over the grain, the wine, and the oil,
and over the young of the flock and the herd;
their life shall become like a watered garden,
and they shall never languish again.
13
Then shall the young women rejoice in the dance,
and the young men and the old shall be merry.
I will turn their mourning into joy,
I will comfort them, and give them gladness for sorrow.
14
I will give the priests their fill of fatness,
and my people shall be satisfied with my bounty, says the LORD.

FOURTH LESSON
L
Galatians 4:4-7
Children and heirs of God.
4
But when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a
woman, born under the law, 5in order to redeem those who were
under the law, so that we might receive adoption as children. 6And
because you are children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our
hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!" 7So you are no longer a slave but a
7
child, and if a child then also an heir, through God.
L

This is the Word of the Lord.

Ephesians 1:3-14
The will of God made known in Christ.
3
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has
blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly
places, 4just as he chose us in Christ before the foundation of the
world to be holy and blameless before him in love. 5He destined us
for adoption as his children through Jesus Christ, according to the
good pleasure of his will, 6to the praise of his glorious grace that he
freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. 7In him we have redemption
through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the
riches of his grace 8that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and
insight 9he has made known to us the mystery of his will, according
to his good pleasure that he set forth in Christ, 10as a plan for the
fullness of time, to gather up all things in him, things in heaven and
things on earth. 11In Christ we have also obtained an inheritance,
having been destined according to the purpose of him who
accomplishes all things according to his counsel and will, 12so that
we, who were the first to set our hope on Christ, might live for the
praise of his glory. 13In him you also, when you had heard the word
of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and had believed in him, were
marked with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit; 14this is the pledge
of our inheritance toward redemption as God's own people, to the
praise of his glory.

This is the Word of the Lord.

SIXTH LESSON
Luke 2:22-40
L
WOV 642
The presentation of the child.
22
When the time came for their purification according to the law of
Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord
23
(as it is written in the law of the Lord, "Every firstborn male shall be
designated as holy to the Lord"), 24and they offered a sacrifice
according to what is stated in the law of the Lord, "a pair of
turtledoves or two young pigeons."
9
25
Now there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon;
this man was righteous and devout, looking forward to the
consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit rested on him. 26It had been
revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before
he had seen the Lord's Messiah. 27Guided by the Spirit, Simeon came
into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do
for him what was customary under the law, 28Simeon took him in his
arms and praised God, saying,
29
"Master, now you are dismissing your servant in peace,
according to your word; 30for my eyes have seen your salvation,
31
which you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, 32a light for
revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel."
33
And the child's father and mother were amazed at what was being
said about him. 34Then Simeon blessed them and said to his mother
Mary, "This child is destined for the falling and the rising of many in
Israel, and to be a sign that will be opposed 35so that the inner
thoughts of many will be revealed — and a sword will pierce your
own soul too."
36
There was also a prophet, Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the
tribe of Asher. She was of a great age, having lived with her husband
seven years after her marriage, 37then as a widow to the age of
eighty- four. She never left the temple but worshiped there with
fasting and prayer night and day. 38At that moment she came, and
began to praise God and to speak about the child to all who were
looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.
39
When they had finished everything required by the law of the
Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth. 40The
child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom; and the favor of
God was upon him.
L
C
This is the Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

ELW 718
SEVENTH LESSON
L
Matthew 2:13-23
The slaughter of innocent children.
13
Now after [the magi] had left, an angel of the Lord appeared to
Joseph in a dream and said, "Get up, take the child and his mother,
and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you; for Herod is about
to search for the child, to destroy him." 14Then Joseph got up, took the
child and his mother by night, and went to Egypt, 15and remained
there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what had been
spoken by the Lord through the prophet, "Out of Egypt I have called
my son."
16
When Herod saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, he
was infuriated, and he sent and killed all the children in and around
Bethlehem who were two years old or under, according to the time
that he had learned from the wise men. 17Then was fulfilled what had
been spoken through the prophet Jeremiah:
18
"A voice was heard in Ramah,
wailing and loud lamentation,
Rachel weeping for her children;
she refused to be consoled, because they are no more."
19
When Herod died, an angel of the Lord suddenly appeared in a
dream to Joseph in Egypt and said, 20Get up, take the child and his
mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who were seeking the
child's life are dead. 21Then Joseph got up, took the child and his
mother, and went to the land of Israel. 22But when he heard that
Archelaus was ruling over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was
afraid to go there. And after being warned in a dream, he went away
to the district of Galilee. 23There he made his home in a town called
Nazareth, so that what had been spoken through the prophets might
be fulfilled, "He will be called a Nazorean."
L This is the Word of the Lord.
C Thanks be to God.

that the innocent might not be forgotten amidst the turmoil.
We lift the turmoil within our own nation into your hands,

Receive into the arms of your mercy all victims.
We remember Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos, police officers
killed in Brooklyn, and grieve their loss of life. We remember Eric
Garner and Michael Brown and others, and grieve their loss of life.
Receive into the arms of your mercy all victims.
We pray for the protection of those whose duty it is to guard and
protect us. We pray for those who feel afraid in their own
communities, who feel profiled and undervalued in our common life.

deeper understanding of one another. We ask in Jesus’ name.

EUCHARISTIC PRAYER AND THE LORD’S PRAYER
P
In the night in which he was betrayed, our Lord Jesus took bread,
and gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying:
Take and eat; this is my body, given for you. Do this in remembrance
of me.
Again, after supper, he took the cup, gave thanks,
and gave it for all to drink saying:
This cup is the new covenant in my blood, shed for you and all people
for the forgiveness of sin. Do this in remembrance of me.
Every time you eat this bread and drink this cup,
you proclaim the saving death of the risen Lord until he comes.
With thanksgiving, let us pray in the words our Savior Christ has
taught us:
C Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come,
thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
forever and ever. Amen.
