Prelude Music 11:00 P.M. Festival Holy Eucharist 11:30 P.M. The Very Reverend Samuel G. Candler, Celebrant The Right Reverend Robert C. Wright, Preacher

A WELCOME FROM THE DEAN Grace to you and Peace! Welcome to the worship of the Cathedral of St. Philip on this most holy evening. We are honored to resume our Cathedral Christmas Eve tradition this year, when all ages are gathered here, from all walks of life, from all sorts and conditions of humanity, in order to celebrate the presence of God among us. The Cathedral of St. Philip is an Episcopal Church, part of the worldwide Anglican Communion of Churches. We worship with a pattern of prayer—called the liturgy—which is both ancient and relevant. However, we are still gathering with pandemic protocols, in social distance for common good. We require the wearing of masks for all persons inside the Cathedral, unless you are speaking to the congregation in the liturgy. Further, we expect all worshippers to be vaccinated against Covid-19. We also thank so many of you who have been worshipping with us online during the last twenty months. Thank you! We love you, and we want God to be incarnate in you, wherever you are! Tonight, we pray that through the prayers, music, and words of this service, you will experience the birth of Jesus Christ in a new way. We also hope that you will return to this holy place and become a member of our parish life. Leave your name and address on a “Visitor” card; we would love to have you join us. All persons are welcome to receive the consecrated bread of the Holy Eucharist. At this time, we are sharing Communion in one kind, that is, the bread only. Through our prayer and faith, the bread and wine we bless become for us the body and blood of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. During the administration of communion, you may receive the elements at the high altar, or at one of two stations located on either side of the front steps, or in the narthex. Each is a holy place where we invite you to receive Jesus in your heart. If you would like our clergy to bring communion to you in the pew, please notify an usher. The parish of the Cathedral of St. Philip prays that you have a safe, and healthy, and blessed Christmas season. Thank you for being with us, and may God bless you. The Very Reverend Samuel G. Candler Dean of the Cathedral of St. Philip

Festival Holy Eucharist THE PRELUDE MUSIC Carol

music: arr. Craig Phillips (American, b. 1961), Gabriel’s Message music: Basque carol based on c.13th century Latin hymn “Angelus ad virginem”, arr. Craig Phillips (American, b. 1961)

The angel Gabriel from heaven came, His wings as drifted snow, his eyes as flame; “All hail,” said he, “thou lowly maiden Mary, Most highly favored lady,” Gloria! “For know a blessed Mother thou shalt be, All generations laud and honor thee, Thy Son shall be Emmanuel, by seers foretold, Most highly favored lady,” Gloria! Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her head, “To me be as it pleaseth God,” she said, “My soul shall laud and magnify his holy Name.” Most highly favored lady, Gloria! Of her, Emmanuel, the Christ, was born In Bethlehem, all on a Christmas morn, And Christian folk throughout the world will ever say “Most highly favored lady,” Gloria! All sing

Hymn 89

music: Carol, Richard Storrs Willis (American, 1819-1900) words: Edmund H. Sears (American, 1810-1876)

Carol

music: Becky McGlade (English, b. 1974), In the bleak midwinter words: Christina Rossetti (1830-1894)

In the bleak midwinter Frosty wind made moan, Earth stood hard as iron, Water like a stone. Snow had fallen, snow on snow Snow on snow, In the bleak midwinter Long ago. Our God, Heaven cannot hold Him, Nor earth sustain; Heaven and earth shall flee away When He comes to reign: In the bleak midwinter A stable place sufficed The Lord God Almighty Jesus Christ. What can I give Him, Poor as I am? If I were a shepherd I would bring a lamb, If I were a wise man I would do my part, Yet what I can I give Him, Give my heart.

All sing

Hymn 104

music: Andújar, David Hurd (b.1950) words: Richard Wilbur (1921-2017)

Carol

music: arr. Philip Ledger (English, 1937-2012), Sussex Carol (On Christmas Night) words: Traditional English Carol

On Christmas night all Christians sing, to hear the news the angels bring. News of great joy, news of great mirth, news of our merciful King’s birth. Then why should men on earth be so sad, since our Redeemer made us glad, When from our sins he set us free, all for to gain our liberty. When sin departs before his grace, then life and health come in its place; Angels and men with joy may sing, all for to see the newborn King. All out of darkness we have light, which made the angels sing this night: “Glory to God and peace to men, now and for evermore. Amen.” 7

Carol

music: Herbert Howells (English, 1892-1983), A Spotless Rose words: 14th century English Carol

A Spotless Rose is blowing Sprung from a tender root, Of ancient seers’ foreshowing, Of Jesse promised fruit; Its fairest bud unfolds to light Amid the cold winter, And in the dark midnight. The Rose which I am singing, Whereof Isaiah said, Is from its sweet root springing In Mary, purest Maid; For through our God’s great love and might, The Blessed Babe she bare us In a cold winter’s night. The Rose which I am singing, Whereof Isaiah said, Is from its sweet root springing In Mary, purest Maid; For through our God’s great love and might, The Blessed Babe she bare us In a cold winter’s night.

The Lesson

Isaiah 9:2-7

Read by Samuel T. Wilmoth, Junior Warden, Cathedral Chapter Lector

A Reading from The Book of Isaiah.

The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who lived in a land of deep darkness—on them light has shined. You have multiplied the nation, you have increased its joy; they rejoice before you as with joy at the harvest, as people exult when dividing plunder. For the yoke of their burden, and the bar across their shoulders, the rod of their oppressor, you have broken as on the day of Midian. For all the boots of the tramping warriors and all the garments rolled in blood shall be burned as fuel for the fire. For a child has been born for us, a son given to us; authority rests upon his shoulders; and he is named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. His authority shall grow continually, and there shall be endless peace for the throne of David and his kingdom. He will establish and uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time onwards and for evermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this. Lector All

The Holy Gospel Gospeler The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke. All Glory to you, Lord Christ.

Luke 2:1-20

In those days a decree went out from Emperor Augustus that all the world should be registered. This was the first registration and was taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria. All went to their own towns to be registered. Joseph also went from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, because he was descended from the house and family of David. He went to be registered with Mary, to whom he was engaged and who was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for her to deliver her child. And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn. In that region there were shepherds living in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. Then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for see— I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people: to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign for you: you will find a child wrapped in bands of cloth and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace among those whom he favors!” When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go now to Bethlehem and see this thing that has taken place, which the Lord has made known to us.” So they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the child lying in the manger. When they saw this, they made known what had been told them about this child; and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds told them. But Mary treasured all these words and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them. Gospeler All

The Sermon

Bishop Wright

All stand

The Nicene Creed Celebrant With Christians across time and around the world, we say together the Nicene Creed. All

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Almighty and everliving God, you have given us a new revelation of your loving providence in the coming of your Son Jesus Christ to be born of the Virgin Mary: Grant that as he shared our mortality, so we may share his eternity in the glory of your kingdom; where he lives and reigns for ever and ever.

Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give God thanks and praise.

Celebrant It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father

Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. Because you gave Jesus Christ, your only Son, to be born for us; who, by the mighty power of the Holy Spirit, was made perfect Man of the flesh of the Virgin Mary his mother; so that we might be delivered from the bondage of sin, and receive power to become your children. Therefore we praise you, joining our voices with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven, who for ever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name: All sing

The Sanctus and Benedictus

After the Sanctus, all may stand or kneel.

Then the Celebrant continues

We give thanks to you, O God, for the goodness and love which you have made known to us in creation; in the calling of Israel to be your people; in your Word spoken through the prophets; and above all in the Word made flesh, Jesus, your Son. For in these last days you sent him to be incarnate from the Virgin Mary, to be the Savior and Redeemer of the world. In him, you have delivered us from evil, and made us worthy to stand before you. In him, you have brought us out of error into truth, out of sin into righteousness, out of death into life. On the night before he died for us, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread; and when he gave thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, and said, “Take, eat: This is my Body, which is given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me.” After supper he took the cup of wine; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and said, “Drink this, all of you: This is my Blood of the new Covenant, which is shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me.” Therefore, according to his command, O Father, All

We remember his death, We proclaim his resurrection, We await his coming in glory;

The Celebrant continues

And we offer our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving to you, O Lord of all; presenting to you, from your creation, this bread and this wine. We pray you, gracious God, to send your Holy Spirit upon these gifts that they may be the Sacrament of the Body of Christ and his Blood of the new Covenant. Unite us to your Son in his sacrifice, that we may be acceptable through him, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit. In the fullness of time, put all things in subjection under your Christ, and bring us to that heavenly country where, with all your saints, we may enter the everlasting heritage of your sons and daughters; through Jesus Christ our Lord, the firstborn of all creation, the head of the Church, and the author of our salvation. By Christ, and with Christ, and in Christ, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and for ever. AMEN. And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say, The Lord’s Prayer

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, for ever and ever. Amen. 22

The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes, But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes. I love thee, Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky, And stay by my side until morning is nigh. Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask thee to stay Close by me for ever, and love me, I pray. Bless all the dear children in thy tender care, And fit us for heaven, to live with thee there.
