In fields where they lay a keeping their sheepOn a cold winter’s night that was so deep.

That hath made heaven and earth of nought, And with his blood mankind has bought.

AUDIENCE CAROL SINGWe Three Kings of Orient Are

We three kings of Orient are; Bearing gifts we traverse afar,

Field and fountain, moor and mountain, Following yonder star.

Refrain: O star of wonder, star of light, Star with royal beauty bright,

Westward leading, still proceeding, Guide us to thy perfect light.

Born a King on Bethlehem’s plain, Gold I bring to crown him again,

King forever, ceasing never, Over us all to reign.

(Refrain)

Glorious now behold him arise; King and God and sacrifice:

Alleluia, Alleluia, Sounds through the earth and skies.

(Refrain)
