The sermon for Sun, December 28, 2025 was based on Matthew 2:13-23, with the theme, "The Savior and Our Sadness." The lyrics of the Coventry Carol are also provided below.

1. Lullay, thou little tiny Child,  By, by lully, lullay;   Lullay, thou little tiny Child,  By, by lully, lullay.
2. O sisters, too, how may we do,  For to preserve this day;  This poor Youngling for whom we sing,   By, by lully, lullay.
3. Herod the King,  In his raging,  Charged he hath this day;  His men of might, in his own sight,  All children young to slay.
4. Then woe is me, poor Child, for Thee. And ever mourn and say;  For Thy parting nor say nor sing,  By, by lully, lullay. 

Text: Robert Croo (1534)  Tune: Traditional English melody
