Facebook PageWelcome Welcome to our annual Carol Service, held via virtual means! The Carol Service is very much an established tradition, and I hope will mark the start of your Christmas celebrations. It’s a really lovely way to come together to think about those who are less fortunate than ourselves and to reflect on what we maybe often take for granted. After a particularly challenging year for many of us, we were more determined than ever to overcome the obstacles that social distancing presents us with in order to bring you a sense of normality through music, and a sense that the Christmas season has started. In our busy lives, it’s good to take time out to stop and think. It’s also an opportunity to celebrate the wealth of musical talent that we have in school, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of those students, colleagues and parents who have worked hard to make this evening such a special occasion. Finally, I’d like to wish you a peaceful and enjoyable Christmas, and a Happy New Year for 2021. Nigel J. Sellars Headteacher
Order of Service Once in Royal David’s City Once in royal Davids city, SOLO 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 He came down to earth from heaven, All Who is God and Lord of all, And His shelter was a stable, And His cradle was a stall; With the poor, and mean, and lowly, Lived on earth our Saviour holy. And through all his wondrous childhood He would honour and obey, Love, and watch the lowly maiden, In whose gentle arms he lay; Christian children all must be Mild, obedient, good as he. For He is our childhood’s pattern, Day by day, like us, He grew; He was little, weak, and helpless, Tears and smiles, like us He knew; And He feeleth for our sadness, And he shareth in our gladness.
And our eyes at last shall see Him,
Through His own redeeming love,
For that child so dear and gentle,
Is our Lord in heaven above;
And He leads His children on,
To the place where He is gone.
Not in that poor lowly stable,
With the oxen standing by,
We shall see him; but in heaven,
Set at God’s right hand on high;
When like stars his children crowned
All in white shall wait around.
Welcome from Revd. Martin Davis
(from our usual venue of St Mary’s Church, Kidlington)
1st Lesson – The Fall of Man
Genesis iiiO Come All Ye Faithful O come, all ye faithful, Joyful and triumphant, O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem; Come and behold him, Born the King of angels; Refrain O come, let us adore him, O come, let us adore him, O Come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord. God of God, Light of Light, Lo! He abhors not the Virgin’s womb; Very God, Begotten, not created. O Come let... See how the shepherds, Summoned to his cradle, Leaving their flocks, draw nigh with lowly fear; We too will thither Bend our joyful footsteps; O Come let... Sing, choirs of angels, Sing in exultation, Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above; Glory to God In the highest; O Come let...

St Luke iiGood King Wenceslas Good King Wenceslas looked out ALL On the Feast of Stephen When the snow lay round about Deep and crisp and even Brightly shone the moon that night Though the frost was cruel When a poor man came in sight Gath’ring winter fuel “Hither, page, and stand by me MEN If thou know’st it, telling Yonder peasant, who is he? Where and what his dwelling?” “Sire, he lives a good league hence WOMEN Underneath the mountain Right against the forest fence By Saint Agnes’ fountain.” “Bring me flesh and bring me wine MEN Bring me pine logs hither Thou and I will see him dine When we bear him thither.” Page and monarch forth they went ALL Forth they went together Through the rude wind’s wild lament And the bitter weather
“Sire, the night is darker now WOMEN
And the wind blows stronger
Fails my heart, I know not how,
I can go no longer.”
“Mark my footsteps, good my page MEN
Tread thou in them boldly
Thou shalt find the winter’s rage
Freeze thy blood less coldly.”
In his master’s steps he trod ALL
Where the snow lay dinted
Heat was in the very sod
Which the saint had printed
Therefore, Christian men, be sure
Wealth or rank possessing
Ye who now will bless the poor
Shall yourselves find blessing

Hark the Herald Angels Sing
Hark! the herald angels sing,
‘Glory to the newborn King;
Peace on earth and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconcile,
Joyful, all ye nations rise,
Join the triumph of the skies,
With the angelic host proclaim,
Christ is born in Bethlehem.
Hark! The herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King.
Christ, by highest heav’n adored,
Christ the everlasting Lord,
Late in time behold him come
Offspring of a virgin’s womb
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see,
Hail the incarnate Deity.
Pleased as man with man to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel.
Hark! The herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King.Hail the heav’n-born Prince of Peace! Hail the Son of Righteousness! Light and life to all he brings, Ris’n with healing in his wings Mild He lays His glory by, Born that man no more may die, Born to raise the sons of earth, Born to give them second birth. Hark! The herald angels sing Glory to the newborn King.
