Mary Did You Know

Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your baby boy
Has come to make you new?

This child that you delivered, will soon deliver you
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would calm the storm with his hand

Did you know that your baby boy
Has walked where angels trod?
When you kiss your little baby
You kiss the face of God

Mary, did you know? Did you know?
Mary, did you know? Mary, did you know?
Mary, did you know? Mary, did you know?
Mary, did you know? Mary, did you know?

The blind will see, the deaf will hear
The dead will live again
The lame will leap, the dumb will speak
The praises of the Lamb
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Is Lord of all creation?

Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would one day rule the nations?
Did you know that your baby boy
Is heaven’s perfect Lamb?
That sleeping child you’re
Holding is the great, I Am.

Bible reading: Isaiah 61 1-4, 8-11

Prayers

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name;
your kingdom come;
your will be done;
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins,
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power
and the glory are yours
now and for ever.  Amen.

Closing Words

In the name of Christ. Amen

O Holy Night

Oh Holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Saviour’s birth
Long lay the world in sin and error, pining
‘Til He appeared and the soul felt it’s worth.

A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn’
Fall on your knees, oh, hear the Angels’ voices
Oh, night divine, oh, night when Christ was born.

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
Led by light of a star sweetly gleaming
Here come the Wise Men from the Orient land.

A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn’.
Fall on your knees; O hear the Angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born.

Fall on your knees; O hear the Angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born.
O night, divine!
O night, O night divine!
