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
