Christmas Day
Welcome Letter from the Dean
Holy Eucharist/Communion
Merry Christmas and welcome to Saint Paul’s Cathedral!
Holy Eucharist, also known as Communion, is open
to all of the baptized of all denominations. The
Episcopal Church has an open table and you are
invited to participate as you feel comfortable. The
ushers will direct you forward to receive the sacrament. To receive the Eucharist, place your right
palm over your left and you will be given the Bread;
the Wine will be offered and you may guide the chalice
to your lips. If you prefer not to drink from it, leave the
wafer on your palm and the chalice bearer will dip it
in the cup and place it in your mouth. If you wish to
receive a Blessing in lieu of the Elements, simply cross
your arms over your chest.
We pray that as you worship here during this Christmas
season that you will join us in praising God for the gift
of Jesus Christ, our Savior. We are so pleased that you
chose to share your Christmas with us here at the Cathedral. Saint Paul’s Cathedral is an active and vibrant
congregation of loving people. We welcome you into
the community and pray that you will return and share
your gifts with us as we minister to Oklahoma City and
the surrounding areas. Join us on Sundays for worship
and for any of our other ministry opportunities.
I invite you to participate in worship today as you feel
comfortable. I pray that your worship experience today
will strengthen your faith journey. If this is your first
time in the Episcopal Church, everything you need,
to follow worship, is in this Worship Guide but if you
have any questions please do not hesitate to ask anyone
around you for help.
Gluten Free communion wafers are available
at the Lectern Communion Station. Gluten
Free emblems are available in the Narthex so
that you can identify yourself to the person administering communion at that station. These
wafers are made from rice and soy.

Prelude

For lo! the days are hastening on,
by prophets seen of old,
when with the ever circling years
shall come the time foretold,
when peace shall over all the earth
its ancient splendors fling,
and all the world give back the song
which now the angels sing.

Collect for Purity
BCP 323
Almighty God, unto whom all hearts are open,
all desires known, and from whom no secrets are
hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts
by the inspiration of thy Holy Spirit,
that we may perfectly love thee,
and worthily magnify thy holy Name;
through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Yet with the woes of sin and strife
the world has suffered long;
beneath the heavenly hymn have rolled
two thousand years of wrong;
and warring human-kind hears not
the tidings which they bring;
O hush the noise and cease your strife
and hear the angels sing!

Summary of the Law
Collect for Christmas Day
BCP 324
Hear what our Lord Jesus Christ saith:
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is
the first and great commandment. And the second is
like unto it: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
On these two commandments hang all the Law and
the Prophets.
BCP 161
The Lord be with you.
And with thy spirit.
Let us pray.
[Please kneel if you are able]
Almighty God, who hast given us thy only-begotten
Son to take our nature upon him, and as at this time to
be born of a pure virgin: Grant that we, being regenerate and made thy children by adoption and grace, may
daily be renewed by thy Holy Spirit; through the same
our Lord Jesus Christ, who liveth and reigneth with
thee and the same Spirit ever, one God, world without
end. Amen.
The Gloria
Gloria in excelsis Deo!

A Reading from the Book of Isaiah.
Jesus Christ, we now declare
Lamb of God and Lord of Love.
Grant us mercy, hear our prayer,
Give us grace from heav’n above.
Isaiah 62:6-12
Upon your walls, O Jerusalem, I have posted sentinels; all day and all night they shall never be silent.
You who remind the LORD, take no rest, and give
him no rest until he establishes Jerusalem and makes
it renowned throughout the earth. The LORD has
sworn by his right hand and by his mighty arm: I will
not again give your grain to be food for your enemies,
and foreigners shall not drink the wine for which you
have labored; but those who garner it shall eat it and
praise the LORD, and those who gather it shall drink
it in my holy courts. Go through, go through the gates,
prepare the way for the people; build up, build up the
highway, clear it of stones, lift up an ensign over the
peoples. The LORD has proclaimed to the end of
the earth: Say to daughter Zion, “See, your salvation
comes; his reward is with him, and his recompense
before him.” They shall be called, “The Holy People,
The Redeemed of the LORD”; and you shall be called,
“Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken.”
Praises to the Holy One,
Praises sing in highest heav’n;
To the Father and the Son
and the Holy Spirit giv’n.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Psalm 97
Lesson
Dominus regnavit
A Reading from the Letter to the Titus.
Titus 3:4-7
Long ago God spoke to our ancestors in many and
various ways by the prophets, but in these last days he
has spoken to us by a Son, whom he appointed heir of
all things, through whom he also created the worlds.
He is the reflection of God’s glory and the exact imprint of God’s very being, and he sustains all things
by his powerful word. When he had made purification
for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty
on high, having become as much superior to angels
as the name he has inherited is more excellent than
theirs.
The LORD is King; let the earth rejoice;
let the multitude of the isles be glad.
Clouds and darkness are round about him,
righteousness and justice are the foundations
of his throne.
A fire goes before him
and burns up his enemies on every side.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
His lightnings light up the world;
the earth sees it and is afraid.
[Please stand if you are able]
The mountains melt like wax
at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
Gospel Hymn
The heavens declare his righteousness,
and all the peoples see his glory.
Hymnal 100, verses 1-2
Joy to the world! the Lord is come:
let earth receive her King;
let every heart prepare him room,
and heaven and nature sing.
Confounded be all who worship carved images
and delight in false gods!
Bow down before him, all you gods.
Joy to the world! the Savior reigns;
let us our songs employ,
while fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains,
repeat the sounding joy.
Zion hears and is glad,
and the cities of Judah rejoice,
because of your judgments, O LORD.
For you are the LORD, most high over all the earth;
you are exalted far above all gods.
The LORD loves those who hate evil;
he preserves the lives of his saints.
and delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
Light has sprung up for the righteous,
and joyful gladness for those who are truehearted.
Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous,
and give thanks to his holy Name.

Gospel
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.
Luke 2:1-20
W W W The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ
according to Luke.
Glory be to thee, O Lord.
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.
The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise be to thee, O Christ.
Gospel Hymn
Hymnal 100, verses 3-4
No more let sins and sorrows grow,
nor thorns infest the ground;
he comes to make his blessings flow
far as the curse is found.
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,
He rules the world with truth and grace,
and makes the nations prove
the glories of his righteousness,
and wonders of his love.

Prayers
BCP 326
Let us pray for the whole state of Christ’s Church and
the world.
[Please kneel if you are able]
Almighty and everliving God, who in thy holy Word
hast taught us to make prayers, and supplications, and
to give thanks for all men: Receive these our prayers
which we offer unto thy divine Majesty, beseeching
thee to inspire continually the Universal Church with
the spirit of truth, unity, and concord; and grant that
all those who do confess thy holy Name may agree in
the truth of thy holy Word, and live in unity and godly
love.
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.
Give grace, O heavenly Father, to all bishops and other ministers especially Justin of Canterbury, Katharine, our Presiding Bishop, and Edward, our Bishop,
and the clergy and people of the diocese of Oklahoma
and our companion diocese of Uruguay, that they may,
both by their life and doctrine, set forth thy true and
lively Word, and rightly and duly administer thy holy
Sacraments.
And to all thy people give thy heavenly grace, and especially to this congregation here present; that, with
meek heart and due reverence, they may hear and receive thy holy Word, truly serving thee in holiness and
righteousness all the days of their life.
We beseech thee also so to rule the hearts of those
who bear the authority of government in this and every land especially, Barack, our President, Mary, our
Governor, and Mick, our Mayor, that they may be led
to wise decisions and right actions for the welfare and
peace of the world.
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.
W We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen.
And we most humbly beseech thee, of thy goodness,
O Lord, to comfort and succor all in need of healing:
[Intercessions are offered at this time]
7
And, we also bless thy holy Name for all thy servants
departed this life in thy faith and fear, for those we
hold in memory this day, and for the recently departed,
(Special intentions) beseeching thee to grant them
continual growth in thy love and service; and to grant
us grace so to follow the good examples of the Blessed
Virgin Mary and Blessed Paul, and of all thy saints,
that with them we may be partakers of thy heavenly
kingdom.
Absolution
Grant these our prayers, O Father, for Jesus Christ’s
sake, our only Mediator and Advocate.
Amen.
Comfortable Words
BCP 332
Almighty God, our heavenly Father, who of his great
mercy hath promised forgiveness of sins to all those
who with hearty repentance and true faith turn unto
him, W have mercy upon you, pardon and deliver you
from all your sins, confirm and strengthen you in all
goodness, and bring you to everlasting life; through
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Hear the Word of God to all who truly turn to him.
Confession
Matthew 11:28
Come unto me, all ye that travail and are heavy laden,

John 3:16
God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten
Son, to the end that all that believe in him should not
perish, but have everlasting life.
1 Timothy 1:15
This is a true saying, and worthy of all men to be received, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save
sinners.
1 John 2:1-2
If any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father,
Jesus Christ the righteous; and he is the perfect offering for our sins, and not for ours only, but for the sins
of the whole world.
BCP 331
Let us humbly confess our sins unto Almighty God.
Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
maker of all things, judge of all men:
We acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins
and wickedness,
which we from time to time
most grievously have committed,
by thought, word, and deed,
against thy divine Majesty, provoking most justly
thy wrath and indignation against us.
We do earnestly repent,
and are heartily sorry for these our misdoings:
the remembrance of them is grievous unto us,
the burden of them is intolerable.
Have mercy upon us,
have mercy upon us, most merciful Father;
for thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ’s sake,
forgive us all that is past;
and grant that we may ever hereafter
serve and please thee in newness of life,
to the honor and glory of thy Name;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Proper Preface for Incarnation BCP 345
Because thou didst give Jesus Christ,
thine only Son, to be born for us;
who, by the mighty power of the Holy Ghost,
was made very Man of the substance
of the Virgin Mary his mother;
that we might be delivered from the bondage of sin,
and receive power to become thy children.
Therefore with Angels and Archangels,
and with all the company of heaven,
we laud and magnify thy glorious Name;
evermore praising thee, and saying,

Sanctus
And we most humbly beseech thee, O merciful Father,
to hear us, and, with thy Word and Holy Spirit, to bless
and sanctify these gifts of bread and wine, that they may
be unto us the Body and Blood of thy dearly-beloved
Son Jesus Christ.
Hymnal S114
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Hosts:
Heaven and earth are full of thy glory.
Glory be to thee, O Lord Most High.
W Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.
And we earnestly desire thy fatherly goodness to accept
this our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving, whereby
we offer and present unto thee, O Lord, our selves, our
souls and bodies. Grant, we beseech thee, that all who
partake of this Holy Communion may worthily receive
the most precious Body and Blood of thy Son Jesus
Christ, and be W filled with thy grace and heavenly
benediction; and also that we and all thy whole Church
may be made one body with him, that he may dwell in
us, and we in him; through the same Jesus Christ our
Lord;
[Please kneel if you are able]
All glory be to thee, O Lord our God, for that thou didst
create heaven and earth, and didst make us in thine own
image; and, of thy tender mercy, didst give thine only
Son Jesus Christ to take our nature upon him, and to
suffer death upon the cross for our redemption. He made
there a full and perfect sacrifice for the whole world;
and did institute, and in his holy Gospel command us to
continue, a perpetual memory of that his precious death
and sacrifice, until his coming again.
By whom, and with whom, and in whom,
in the unity of the Holy Ghost
all honor and glory be unto thee,
O Father Almighty, world without end.
AMEN.
For in the night in which he was betrayed, he took bread;
and when he had given thanks to thee, he broke it, and
gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take, eat, this is my
Body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance
of me.”
The Lord’s Prayer
Hymnal S119
And now, as our Savior Christ hath taught us,
we are bold to sing,
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.
Likewise, after supper, he took the cup; and when he
had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink
this, all of you; for this is my Blood of the New Covenant, which is shed for you, and for many, for the remission of sins. Do this, as oft as ye shall drink it, in
remembrance of me.”
Wherefore, O Lord and heavenly Father, we thy people
do celebrate and make, with these thy holy gifts which
we now offer unto thee, the memorial thy Son hath commanded us to make; having in remembrance his blessed
passion and precious death, his mighty resurrection and
glorious ascension; and looking for his coming again
with power and great glory.

O little town of Bethlehem,

the silent stars go by;
yet in thy dark streets shineth
the everlasting Light;
the hopes and fears of all the years
are met in thee tonight.
BCP 337
We do not presume to come to this thy Table,
O merciful Lord,
trusting in our own righteousness,
but in thy manifold and great mercies.
We are not worthy so much
as to gather up the crumbs under thy Table.
But thou art the same Lord
whose property is always to have mercy.
Grant us therefore, gracious Lord,
so to eat the flesh of thy dear Son Jesus Christ,
and to drink his blood,
that we may evermore dwell in him,
and he in us. Amen.
For Christ is born of Mary;
and gathered all above,
while mortals sleep, the angels keep
their watch of wondering love.
O morning stars, together
proclaim the holy birth!
and praises sing to God the King,
and peace to men on earth.
How silently, how silently,
the wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
the blessings of his heaven.
No ear may hear his coming,
but in this world of sin,
where meek souls will receive him, still
the dear Christ enters in.

and on the earth be peace;
good will henceforth from heaven to men
