Season 4, Episode 51 - The Christmas Celebration: The Birth Of Jesus Christ"

When The Herds Were WatchingPoet: William CantonWhen the herds were watchingIn the midnight chill,Came a spotless lambkinFrom the heavenly hill. Snow was on the mountains,And the wind was cold.When from God's own gardenDropped a rose of gold. When it was bitter winter,Houseless and forlornIn a star-lit stableChrist the Babe was born. Welcome, heavenly lambkin;Welcome, golden rose;Alleluia, Baby,In the swaddling clothes! I Am But A Tiny GirlPoet: Elizabeth Froude CampbellI am but a tiny girl,And don't quite understandAll the pretty things I'm toldAbout the spirit land. I know that Jesus was a child.And quite lowly born;And was laid where oxen feed,On a Christmas morn. While shepherds watched their sheep one night,All resting on the ground.An angel came from God to them.And glory shone around. He pointed to a lovely star,'Neath where the baby lay;The shepherds sought the place to findBefore the break of day. They found it, and 'twas sacred ground,Everywhere they trod;Then kneeling down, they gazed uponThe Holy Child of God. This child, I know, to manhood grew.And died for us through love;He rose again, and now as kingReigns in our home above. Grateful for His GiftPoet: Catherine PulsiferLet Christmas fill our world with cheer,With gratitude for Christ so dear.God’s precious gift, our guiding light,Brings faith and hope through every night. Let love reflect His holy grace,As joy lights up each heart and place.Together, may we humbly pray,Thanking God for this blessed day. Playlist:Joy To The World – Ricky Dillard and The New Generation ChoraleJoy, Peace, and Favor – Craig Hayes and UMACDo You Hear What I Hear – Shirley CaesarMary Did You Know – Jonathan McReynoldsJesus, Oh What a Wonderful Child – Lemmie BattlesOh Holy Night – Kelly ClarksonNow Behold The Lamb – Kirk Franklin and The FamilyWeb Resources:Encyclopediaofreligions.comBiblestudytools.comBible.knowing-Jesus.comGotquestions.org
