Happy Christmas

A very happy and peaceful Christmas to all readers of this blog detailing the music liturgy of Holy Trinity Catholic Church, Newquay, Cornwall, England.

As last year our music liturgy was split into a more tradional organ and carol service on Christmas Eve and a guitar led family mass on Christmas Day. The message, however, was the same - Rejoice, Jesus Christ is born !

Entry: - Ding dong merrily on high

Gloria: - Gloria (Anderson)

Alleluia, alleluia. Alleluia, alleluia. Today our Saviour is born. Today we welcome our King. Alleluia, alleluia. Alleluia, alleluia

Offertory: - This is my body

Holy Holy (Gathering Mass)

Lord by Your cross and resurrection, You’ve set us free, You’ve set us free. You are the saviour of the world. You are the saviour of the world (repeat)
Saviour, Saviour Saviour, Saviour
You set us free, You set us free. You are the saviour of the world. You are the saviour of the world

Amen, Amen, Ame. We will sing of Your love forever. We will sing Your praise forever Amen. Amen, Amen, Amen

Lamb of God (Burntwood Mass)

Communion: - The Servant King

Hallelujah, Jesus Christ is born

V1 Today in David’s house is born
A saviour who is Christ the Lord
Born of a virgin, holy and pure
God incarnate to save us all

V2 In a manger the baby lies
Born that man no more may die
Born to save the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth

V3 Choirs of angels sing for joy
Shepherds find the newborn boy
In a stable, lowly and meek
They gather around the Prince of Peace

V4 So rejoice this heavenly morn
Jesus, Lord, our saviour is born
Peace, goodwill to all men on earth
Today we celebrate our saviour’s birth

Chorus
So with our voices we shout and sing
We sing the praise of our newborn king
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Jesus Christ is born

Recessional: - Mary’s boy child
