We are a small Episcopal Church on the banks of the Rappahannock in Port Royal, Virginia. We acknowledge that we gather on the traditional land of the first people of Port Royal, the Nandtaughtacund, and we respect and honor with gratitude the land itself, the legacy of the ancestors, and the life of the Rappahannock Tribe. Our mission statement is to do God’s Will in all that we do.

Back to: The Twelve Days of Christmas Carols

       1 While shepherds kept their watching
O’er silent flocks by night,
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light

Chorus:
Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.

  1. The shepherds feared and trembled
    When lo! above the earth
    Rang out the angel chorus
    That hailed our Saviour’s birth; Chorus:

  2. Down in a lowly manger
    The humble Christ was born;
    And God sent out salvation
    That blessed Christmas morn. Chorus:

  3. When I was a seeker
    I sought both night and day
    I sought the Lord to help me
    And He showed me the way. Chorus:

  4. He made me a watchman
    Upon the city wall
    And If I am a Christian
    I am the least of all. Chorus
