Music Notes
This holy and precious season begins in the dark. We gather on Christmas Eve at night, but we bring the light with us. We celebrate the light that comes in quiet, yet significant ways. We’ve come at night to await the dawn. And it comes. Even in times of great darkness, a presence of glory remains; a light shines and shows us the way. We give thanks and remember together that “Dawn Breaks.”
Abbreviations

Christmas comes suddenly at times, gradually at times. But it comes, and it offers a glimpse of glory. It offers a shared experience of glory. That’s why we surround ourselves with light, even in the dark of the night. We want to capture, to re-live, to proclaim that glory is born tonight. Thanks be to God.
