HE IS THE LIGHT
Candles are often used in the quieter moments in Christmas services, but consider
lighting candles for a select group (the choir, actors, and/or narrator) and/or the
entire congregation at the beginning of this anthem. At the peak of the anthem
(measure 55) the candles are raised triumphantly. Candles are extinguished when
the anthem concludes.
LOVE CAME DOWN AT CHRISTMAS
As the prayer is spoken following "He Is the Light," the lights are lowered, once
again revealing the single white, lit candle on the altar or other prominent spot in
front of the congregation. After the prayer concludes, the choir sings "Love Came
Down at Christmas." Lights are raised at the conclusion of the anthem. A Postlude
can be added so the congregation knows definitively the musical is concluded.
