Creator of the stars of night
Thy people’s everlasting light
O Christ, Redeemer of us all
We pray you hear us when we call
Come, oh come
Come, oh come
Come, oh come
To us
When this old world drew on toward night
You came, but not in splendor bright
Not as a monarch, but the child
Of Mary blameless mother mild
Come, oh come
Come, oh come
Come, oh come
To us

O Come, O Come Emmanuel

O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appears
O come, Thou Dayspring from on high
And cheer us by thy drawing nigh
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death’s dark shadows put to flight
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, Desire of nations, bind
In one the hearts of all mankind
Bid Thou our sad divisions cease
And be Thyself our King of Peace
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.

Love to God and neighbor
Love for plea and gift and sign

Worship we the Godhead
Worship we the Godhead
Love divine

Our hope, our trust

God rest ye merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan’s power
When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
From God our heavenly Father
A blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tidings of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name.
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
Now to the Lord sing praises
All you within this place
And with true love and charity
Each other now embrace
This holy tide of Christmas
Doth bring redeeming grace
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love
O morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the King
And Peace to all the earth
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us
Our Lord Emmanuel
Our Lord Emmanuel

Infant holy, Infant lowly
For His bed a cattle stall
Oxen lowing, little knowing
Christ the Babe is Lord of all
Swiftly winging angels singing
Noels ringing, tidings bringing
Christ the Babe is Lord of all
Christ the Babe is Lord of all
Flocks were sleeping, shepherds keeping
Vigil till the morning new
Saw the glory, heard the story
Tidings of a Gospel true
Thus rejoicing, free from sorrow
Praises voicing, greet the morrow
Christ the Babe was born for you
Christ the Babe was born for you
Swift are winging angels singing
Noels ringing, tidings bringing
Christ the Babe is Lord of all
Christ the Babe is Lord of all
Thus rejoicing, free from sorrow
Praises voicing, greet the morrow
Christ the Babe was born for you
Christ the Babe was born for you

What Child is This
03:46
|
|||
What Child is this who, laid to rest
On Mary’s lap is sleeping
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud
The Babe, the Son of Mary
Why lies He in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding
Good Christians, fear, for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading
Nails, spear shall pierce Him through,
The cross be borne for me, for you
Hail, hail the Word made flesh
The Babe, the Son of Mary
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh
Come peasant, king to own Him
The King of kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him
Raise, raise a song on high
The virgin sings her lullaby
Joy, joy for Christ is born
The Babe, the Son of Mary
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing;
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

In the Bleak Midwinter
03:12
|
|||
In the bleak midwinter
Frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron
Water like a stone
Snow had fallen
Snow on snow
Snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter
Long ago
Angels and archangels
May have gathered there
Cherubim and seraphim
Thronged the air
But his mother only
In her maiden bliss
Worshipped the Beloved
With a kiss
What can I give him
Poor as I am
If I were a shepherd
I would bring a lamb
If I were a wise man
I would do my part
Yet what I can I give Him
Give my heart

Love’s redeeming work is done
Fought the fight, the battle won
Death in vain forbids Him rise
Christ has opened paradise
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Alleluia!
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Alleluia!
Lives again our glorious King
Where, O death, is now thy sting
Once He died our souls to save
Where thy victory, O grave
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Alleluia!
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Alleluia!
Soar we now where Christ has led
Following our exalted Head
Made like Him, like Him we rise
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Alleluia!
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Alleluia!

Hark! The herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn King
Peace on earth, and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled!
Joyful, all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With th’angelic host proclaim,
“Christ is born in Bethlehem!”
Hark! the herald angels sing
“Glory to the newborn King!”
Christ, by highest Heav’n adored
Christ the everlasting Lord
Late in time, behold Him come
Offspring of a virgin’s womb
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see
Hail th’incarnate Deity
Pleased with us in flesh to dwell
Jesus our Emmanuel
Hark! the herald angels sing,
“Glory to the newborn King!”
Mild He lays His glory by
Born that we no more may die
Born to raise us from the earth
Born to give us second birth
Ris’n with healing in His wings
Light and life to all He brings
Hail the Sun of Righteousness!
Hail the heav’n born Prince of Peace!
Hark! the herald angels sing,
“Glory to the newborn King!”
