I am Mary.

I brought forth my firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger because there was no room for us in the inn. [Sing, Once in Royal Davids City, verse 1]

I am Joseph. I am he who took Mary to be my wife. I knew all that Mary told me to be true. I was told in a dream that Mary would indeed bear the Christ child. [Sing, O Come All Ye Faithful, verse 1]

I am the baby Jesus, come to bring salvation to any who follow my example and my teachings. I shall bear great trials in my mortal existence, but one day I shall be exhaulted with my Heavenly Father, and sit upon the right hand of his throne, to rule and reign forever more. [Sing Joy to the World, all verses]

I am the first shepherd. We abided in the field, keeping watch over our flock by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon us, and the glory of the Lord shone round about us and we were sore afraid. [Sing While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks verse 1]

I am the second shepherd. It came to pass the angels were gone away to heaven. We decided to go even unto Bethlehem, and see the thing the angel spoke of, which the Lord had made known unto us. And we went with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. [Sing Angels We Have Heard on High, all verses]

I am the third shepherd. I tend my flock, just as the newborn shepherd would one day be shepherd of his sheep, that is you and I, and every man, woman, and child. He will be the Master Shepherd. [Sing, The First Noel, verse 1]

I am the first wise man, come east to Jerusalem. We saw a star in the east, and came to worship the one called King of the Jews. [Sing, We Three Kings, verse 1]

I am the second wise man. I traveled over many mountains to see the baby Jesus. We brought gold symbol of crowning a king. [Sing, We Three Kings, verse 2]

I am the third wise man. When we came into the house, we saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him. We brought Frankincense as prayer and praising to our God on high. We also brought myrrh, a bitter perfume. [Sing, We Three Kings, verses 3 & 4]

I am the angel. I told the shepherds to fear not, for behold, I brought them good tidings of great joy, which shall be unto all people. For unto all of us is born in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And there was a sign. The babe would be wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger, and with me was a host of angels saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. [Sing, Silent Night, all verses]

Angels We Have Heard on High 1. Angels we have heard on high Sweetly singing oer the plains, And the mountains in reply Echoing their joyous strains. [Chorus] Gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria in excelsis Deo. 2. Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why your joyous strains prolong? What the gladsome tidings be Which inspire your heavnly song? 3. Come to Bethlehem and see Him whose birth the angels sing; Come, adore on bended knee Christ the Lord, the newborn King.

O Come All Ye Faithful 1. Oh, come, all ye faithful, Joyful and triumphant! Oh, come ye, oh come ye to Bethlehem. Come and behold him, Born the King of angels; [Chorus] Oh, come, let us adore him; Oh, come, let us adore him; Oh, come, let us adore him, Christ, the Lord.

fields as they lay, In fields where they lay keeping their sheep On a cold winters night that was so deep. [Chorus] Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel! Born is the King of Israel!

We Three Kings
1. We three kings of Orient are Bearing gifts we traverse afar. Field and fountain, moor and mountain, Following yonder star. [Chorus] O star of wonder, star of night, Star with royal beauty bright, Westward leading, still proceeding, Guide us to thy perfect Light. 2. Born a king on Bethlehem's plain, Gold I bring to crown Him again, King forever, ceasing never Over us all to reign. 3. Frankincense to offer have I. Incense owns a Deity nigh. Prayer and praising all men raising, Worship Him, God on high. 4. Myrrh is mine: it's bitter perfume Breaths a life of gathering gloom. Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding dying, Sealed in the stone-cold tomb.
Text and music: John Henry Hopkins, Jr., 1830-1891

Joy to the World 1. Joy to the world, the Lord is come; Let earth receive her King! Let evry heart prepare him room, And Saints and angels sing, And Saints and angels sing, And Saints, and Saints and angels sing. 2. Rejoice! Rejoice when Jesus reigns, And Saints their songs employ, While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat, repeat the sounding joy. 3. No more will sin and sorrow grow, Nor thorns infest the ground; Hell come and make the blessings flow Far as the curse was found, Far as the curse was found, Far as, far as the curse was found. 4. Rejoice! Rejoice in the Most High, While Israel spreads abroad Like stars that glitter in the sky, And ever worship God, And ever worship God, And ever, and ever worship God.

Once In Royal Davids City Once in royal Davids city Stood a lowly cattle shed, Where a mother laid her baby In a manger for his bed: Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little child.

Silent Night 1. Silent night! Holy night! All is calm, all is bright Round yon virgin mother and Child. Holy Infant, so tender and mild, Sleep in heavenly peace; Sleep in heavenly peace. 2. Silent night! Holy night! Shepherds quake at the sight! Glories stream from heaven afar; Heavnly hosts sing Alleluia! Christ, the Savior, is born! Christ, the Savior, is born! 3. Silent night! Holy night! Son of God, loves pure light Radiant beams from thy holy face, With the dawn of redeeming grace, Jesus, Lord, at thy birth; Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.

The First Noel The first Noel the angel did say Was to certain poor shepherds in

While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks While shepherds watchd their flocks by night, All seated on the ground, The angel of the Lord came down, And glory shone around. Fear not, said he, for mighty dread Had seized their troubled mind; Glad tidings of great joy I bring To you and all mankind.
