For Family Christmas Dinner Gatherings
Leader
Glory, glory, glory! Mary, the Mother of Jesus sings:
“My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
… for the mighty One has done great things for me – holy is his name.
His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation.”
Family
Glory, glory, glory! We sing with Mary the good news that rebukes the darkness of greed, selfishness, and violence; and brings hope to hungry, shivering, homeless peoples everywhere?
Leader
Glory, glory, glory! The host of Angels sing:
“Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. … Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
Family
Glory, glory, glory! We sing with the Angels; and with voices loud and strong our singing rises above the noise of entertainment shows, sports, merchants, and all controversies, establishing PEACE.
Leader
Glory, glory, glory! The Shepherds sing:
“So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child.” ….. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which was just as they had been told.”
Family
Glory, glory, glory! We sing with the shepherds the amazing news of Jesus’ birth while on our way each day glorifying and praising God in all that we do and say.
Leader
Glory, glory, glory! The Magi sing:
“Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, ‘Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? .… On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.”
Family
Glory, glory, glory! We sing with the Magi in serious searching for the “good news” Jesus and seeing Him near us, we bow in worship and commit our life and treasures to his uncommon kingship?
All
Glory, glory, glory! We all sing:
“Joy to the world, the Lord is come! Let earth receive its king; let ev-’ry heart prepare him room, and heav’n and nature sing, and heav’n and nature sing, and heav’n, and heav’n and nature sing.
Joy to the earth, the Savior reigns! Let all their songs employ while fields and floods, rock, hills, and plains, repeat the sounding joy, repeat the sounding joy, repeat, repeat the sounding joy.
He rules the world with truth and grace, and makes the nations prove the glories of his righteousness, and wonders of his love, and wonders of his love, and wonders, wonders of his love.”
