Scripture

Luke 2:10

And the Angel said unto them,

“Fear not, for behold.

I bring you good tidings of great

Joy which shall be to all people.”

Opening Ode

“Silent Night”

Silent night, Holy night

All is calm, all is bright

Round you virgin, mother and child

Holy infant so tender and mild

Sleep in heavenly peace,

Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, Holy night

Son of God, love’s pure light

Radiant beams from thy holy face

With the dawn of redeeming grace,

Jesus, Lord at thy birth

Jesus, Lord at thy birth.

Silent night, Holy night

Shepherds quake, at the sight

Glories stream from heaven above

Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia.

Christ the Savior is born,

Christ the Savior is born.

Patriotic Ode

“America The Beautiful”

O beautiful for spacious skies,

For amber waves of grain;

For purple mountain majesties,

Above the fruited plain!

America! America!

God shed His grace on thee.

And crown thy good with brotherhood,

From sea to shining sea.

Closing Ode

“Away in a Manger”

Away in a Manger, no crib for His bed,

The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head.

The stars in the bright sky, looked down where He lay

The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes,

But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes.

I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky,

And stay by my cradle ‘til morning is nigh

Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay,

Close by me forever and love me, I pray.

Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care,

And take us to Heaven, to live with Thee there.

Initiatory Ode

“Blessed Be the Tie That Binds”

Blessed be the tie that binds,

Our hearts in Christian love.

The fellowship of kindred minds,

Is like to that above.

Welcome Ode

(Tune: “Let Me Call You Sweetheart”)

Welcome to our Chapter,

We have need of you.

Help us serve the Master,

In the work we do.

Join our chain of Friendship,

Where each heart is true.

Every heart rejoices,

While we welcome you.
