ALL CREATURES OF OUR GOD AND KING
All creatures of our God and King
Lift up your voice and with us sing
O praise Him, alleluia!
Thou burning sun with golden beam
Thou silver moon with softer gleam
O praise Him, O praise Him
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
Thou rushing wind that art so strong
Ye clouds that sail in heav'n along
O praise Him, alleluia!
Thou rising morn, in praise rejoice
Ye lights of evening, find a voice
O praise Him, O praise Him
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
Let all things their Creator bless
And worship Him in humbleness
O praise Him, alleluia!
Praise, praise the Father, praise the Son
And praise the Spirit, three in one
O praise Him, O praise Him
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

O COME, O COME IMMANUEL
O come, O come, Immanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice! Rejoice! Immanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
O come, Thou Day-Spring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death's dark shadows put to flight
Rejoice! Rejoice! Immanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
O come, Thou Wisdom from on high
And order all things far and nigh
To us the path of knowledge show
And cause us in her ways to go
Rejoice! Rejoice! Immanuel
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! Immanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
Rejoice! Rejoice! Immanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
Rejoice! Rejoice! Immanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel

COME, THOU LONG-EXPECTED JESUS
Come, Thou long-expected Jesus
Born to set Thy people free
From our fears and sins release us
Let us find our rest in Thee
Israel’s strength and consolation
Hope of all the earth Thou art
Dear Desire of every nation
Joy of every longing heart
Joy to those who long to see Thee
Day-Spring from on high appear
Come, Thou promised Rod of Jesse
Of Thy birth we long to hear
O’er the hills the angels singing
News, glad tidings of a birth
Go to Him your praises bringing
Christ the Lord has come to earth
Come to earth to taste our sadness
You, Whose glories knew no end
By Your life You bring us gladness
Our Redeemer, Shepherd, Friend
Leaving riches without number
Born within a cattle stall
This the everlasting wonder
Humbly born the Lord of all
Born Thy people to deliver
Born a Child and yet a King
Born to reign in us forever
Now Thy gracious kingdom bring
By Thine own eternal Spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone
By Thine all sufficient merit
Raise us to Thy glorious throne

SILENT NIGHT
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing, “Alleluia!
Christ, the Savior is born
Christ, the Savior is born”
Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord at Thy birth

WHAT CHILD IS THIS?
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 Christian, 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

HARK! THE HERALD ANGELS SING
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 angelic host proclaim
"Christ is born in Bethlehem!”
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!”
Christ, by highest heaven adored
Christ the everlasting Lord
Late in time behold Him come
Offspring of the virgin’s womb
Veiled in flesh, the God-head see
Hail the incarnate Diety
Pleased as Man with men to dwell
Jesus, our Immanuel
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!”
Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace
Hail the Son of Righteousness
Light and life to all He brings
Ris'n with healing in His wings
Mild He lays His glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!”
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!”

O HOLY NIGHT
O holy night! The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees!
O hear the angel voices!
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is “love” and His gospel is “peace”
Chains shall He break
For the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy
In grateful chorus raise we
Let all within us praise His holy name
He knows our need!
To weakness He's no stranger
Behold your King! Before Him lowly bend
Behold your King! Before Him lowly bend
Fall on your knees!
O hear the angel voices!
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night divine!
O night, O night divine

SPIRIT OF THE LIVING GOD
O Spirit of the living God
Thou Light and Fire divine
Descend upon Thy Church once more
And make it truly Thine
Fill it with love and joy and power
With righteousness and peace
Till Christ shall dwell in human hearts
And sin and sorrow cease
Ohhhh
Ohhhh
Blow, Wind of God, with wisdom blow
Until our minds are free
From mists of error, clouds of doubt
Which blind our eyes to Thee
Burn Winged Fire, inspire our lips
With flaming love and zeal
To preach to all Thy great good news
God's glorious commonweal
Ohhhh
Ohhhh
So shall we know the power of Christ
Who came this world to save
So shall we rise with Him to life
Which soars beyond the grave
And earth shall win true holiness
Which makes Thy children whole
Till, perfected by Thee, we reach
Creation's glorious goal
Ohhhh
Ohhhh

JOY TO THE WORLD
Joy to the world, the Lord has come
Let earth receive her King!
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven, and heaven and nature sing
Joy to the world, the Savior reigns
Let men their songs employ
While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy
No more let sins and sorrows grow
Nor thorns infest the ground
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found
Far as the curse is found
Far as, far as the curse is found
He rules the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
And wonders, wonders of His love
So, may my heart prepare Him room
So, may my heart prepare Him room
So, may my heart prepare Him room
Prepare Him room
