The Christmas Truce - A Silent Night
(Music begins.)
On Christmas Eve, 1914, in the early days of World War I, German and
British soldiers put down their guns and crossed the trenches to join together
in the spirit of Christmas. =ey exchanged food, souvenirs, and sang carols
together.
(Narration continues through the introduction of "A Celtic Silent Night.")
For one brief moment, the fighting stopped, and a silent peace settled across
the Western Front. =e child born in Bethlehem on that first Christmas was
then, and is still today, the symbol and the hope of peace here on earth.
Bethlehem - A Night of Wonder
(Music and Narrator begin together.)
Stars gleamed bright;
pierced the night.
Bethlehem was quite a sight.
Stable bare;
mother's prayer,
Bethlehem has news to share.
Baby's cry
fills the sky,
Bethlehem writes a lullaby.
Angels sang;
shepherds came.
Bethlehem was not the same.
