Sleep Holy Babe
 
Sleep, Holy Babe, Upon Thy Mother's breast.
Great Lord of earth and sea and sky,
How sweet it is to see Thee lie
In such a place of rest.

Sleep, Holy Babe, Thine angels watch around;
All bending low with folded wings
Before th'Incarnate King of kings,
In rev'rent awe profound.

Sleep, Holy Babe, While I with Mary gaze
In joy upon Thy face awhile,
Upon the loving Infant smile,
Which there divinely plays.

Sleep, Holy Babe, O take Thy brief repose!
Too quickly will Thy slumbers break,
And Thou to lengthen'd pains awake,
That death alone shall close.

King's College, boy's choir sings "Sleep Holy Babe"

Description of The Coloring Page: crowd, servants, wedding feast, miracle of Jesus, water turned to wine, banquet table, foreshadowing of wedding between Christ and His church (the wedding of the Lamb), color page picture about John 2:1-11:

 "On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there, and Jesus and His disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine ran out, Jesus' mother said to Him, "They have no more wine." "Woman, why does this concern us?" Jesus replied. "My hour has not yet come." His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever He tells you." Now six stone water jars had been set there for the Jewish rites of purification. Each could hold from twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus told the servants, "Fill the jars with water." So they filled them to the brim. "Now draw some out," He said, "and take it to the master of the banquet." They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not know where it was from, but the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside and said, "Everyone serves the fine wine first, and then the cheap wine after the guests are drunk. But you have saved the fine wine until now!" Jesus performed this first sign at Cana in Galilee. He thus revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him."

Jesus cleanses the temple coloring sheet


Description of The Coloring Page: money changers and merchandisers are driven from God's house of worship, coins on the ground, temple columns

       The cleansing of the Temple narrative tells of Jesus expelling the merchants and the money changers from the Temple, and occurs in all four canonical gospels of the New Testament.
       In this account, Jesus and his disciples travel to Jerusalem for Passover, where Jesus expels the merchants and money changers from the Temple, accusing them of turning the Temple into "a den of thieves" through their commercial activities. In the Gospel of John Jesus refers to the Temple as "my Father's house", thus, making a claim to being the Son of God.
       The narrative occurs near the end of the Synoptic Gospels (at Matthew 21:12–17, Mark 11:15–19, and Luke 19:45–48) and near the start in the Gospel of John (at John 2:13–16). Some scholars believe that these refer to two separate incidents, given that the Gospel of John also includes more than one Passover.

Jairus' child brought to life coloring sheet

Click to download the largest size.

Description of The Coloring Page: Jesus holds the hand of Jairus' child and wakes her from a dead sleep, crowd of witnesses
 
       The record of the daughter of Jairus is a combination of miracles of Jesus in the Gospels (Mark 5:21–43, Matthew 9:18–26, Luke 8:40–56).
       The story immediately follows the exorcism at Gerasa. Jairus, a patron or ruler of a Galilee synagogue, had asked Jesus to heal his 12-year-old daughter, who in Mark's and Luke's accounts was dying, and in Matthew's simplified account, had already died.
       As they were traveling to Jairus' house, a sick woman in the crowd touched Jesus' cloak and was healed of her sickness. Jesus turned round to the woman and said "You have been healed of your sins have faith in the Lord".(see Christ healing the bleeding woman). Moments later, a messenger arrived with the news that Jairus' daughter had died, and he was advised not to trouble Jesus any further. However, Jesus responded:
Be not afraid, only believe. (Mark 5:36)
Jesus continued to the house, where he informed all those present that the girl was not dead but asleep. He then went upstairs and restored the little girl to life. In Mark's account, the Aramaic phrase "Talitha Koum" (transliterated into Greek as ταλιθα κουμ and meaning, "Little girl, I say to you, get up!") is attributed to Jesus.
       The combined stories have been used as an example of intercalation, where one incident is inserted within another, linked in this case by the connection between the 12-year ailment and the 12-year-old girl.

Parents baptize their child into God's family...

Description of The Coloring Page: pictured above is a baptismal font, acolytes holding a baptismal candle, godparents present the baby, priest baptizes baby using a shell in the hand 
       Infant baptism is followed by confirmation when children reach ages of consent in older Protestant and Catholic churches; this age usually 10 to 14, although their are some Catholic churches that start confirmation classes when children are 7 or 8. Before confirmation, children study the Bible in classes lasting from 6 months to a year, so that they make a profession of faith that is informed.      
       During the confirmation ceremony, children are asked a series of questions about the general tenants of the Christian faith and then they publicly announce their intentions to follow Jesus. In the church banners with baptism symbols are hung everywhere. The children's confirmation is seen as an important part of their faith journey, a continuance of their commitment to reaffirm what was done for them as infants. 
       In churches where this system of baptism is normal, adults are baptized by the same methods. First, they take a short Bible study to learn the basic principles of the faith, then they are publicly baptized before witnesses or an entire congregation, after making a statement about their faith.
       In times of war, or under special circumstances, adults may request immediate baptism of either a ordained individual or an ordinary believer and receive it from them, according to the doctrines of my own church.
