O Come All Ye Faithful | Hark | Gloria

O come all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant
Come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem
Come and behold Him,
Born the King of angels

CHORUS:
O come let us adore Him,
Oh come let us adore Him,
Oh, come let us adore Him,

Yea, Lord, we greet Thee,
Born this happy morning

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!

Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

We Three Kings

We Three Kings
Words & Music: John H. Hop­kins, Jr., 1857

We three kings of Orient are,
Bearing gifts we traverse afar,
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Following yonder star.

CHORUS:
O—star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect Light.

Born a king on Bethlehem’s plain,
Gold I bring to crown Him again,
King forever, ceasing never,
Over us all to reign.

Frankincense to offer have I,
Incense owns a Deity nigh,
Prayer and praising all men raising,
Worship Him, God on high.

Myrrh is mine: Its bitter perfume,
Breathes a life of gathering gloom,
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying,
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb.

Glorious now behold Him arise,
King and God and Sacrifice,
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Sounds through the earth and skies.

To Us A Child Of Hope Is Born

To us a Child of hope is born,
To us a Son is giv’n,

With all the host of heav’n;

For every valley shall be raised,
And every mount made low,
Prepare His path, make straight His way,
Salvation to make known

The great and mighty LORD,
The Wonderful, the Counselor,
The Everlasting Word

Through darkness deep, the brightest beam
of Heaven’s light has shown,
To bring us peace, He bore our grief,
His wounds have made us whole

Come all you who mourn,
Oh groaning creation, rejoice!

He will bring us goodness and light,
He will bring us goodness and light.

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 saints Thou art;
Dear desire of every nation,
Joy of every longing heart.

Come Thou long-awaited Emmanuel.

Born Thy people to deliver,
Born a child and yet a King,
Born to reign in us forever,
Now Thy gracious kingdom bring.

A thrill of hope,
A thrill of hope

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

A thrill of hope,
A thrill of hope

O Little Town of Bethlehem

O Little Town of Bethlehem
Words by Phillips Brooks, 1868; Music by Lewis H. Redner, 1868.

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

How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven.
No ear may hear His coming,
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive him still,
The dear Christ enters in.

O holy Child of Bethlehem
Descend to us, we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in
Be born to us today
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us
Our Lord Emmanuel

While Shepherds Watched

While Shepherds Watched
Words by Nahum Tate, 1700. Music by George F. Handel, 1728. Public domain.

While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
All seated on the ground,
The angel of the Lord came down,
And glory shone around,
And glory shone around.

“Fear not,” said he, for mighty dread
had seized their troubled mind;
“Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind,
To you and all mankind.”

Alleluia.

“To you in David’s town this day
Is born of David’s line
A Savior, who is Christ the Lord,
And this shall be the sign,
And this shall be the sign:”

“The heavenly babe you there shall find
To human view displayed,
All meanly wrapped in swathing bands,
And in a manger laid,
And in a manger laid.”

Alleluia.

Thus spoke the seraph, and forthwith
Appeared a shining throng
Of angels praising God, who thus
Addressed their joyful song,
Addressed their joyful song:

“All glory be to God on high,
And to the earth be peace:
Good will to men from highest heav’n
Begin and never cease,
Begin and never cease.”

Alleluia.

Emmanuel (Hallowed Manger Ground)

Emmanuel (Hallowed Manger Ground)
Words by Chris Tomlin & Ed Cash. ©2009 worshiptogether.com CCLI Song #5601640

What hope we hold this starlit night
A King is born in Bethlehem
Our journey long, we seek the light
That leads to the hallowed manger ground

What fear we felt that silent age
So many years, can he be found?
Then broken by a baby’s cry
Rejoice in the hallowed manger ground

CHORUS:
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
God incarnate here to dwell
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
Praise His Name, Emmanuel

The Son of God here born to bleed
A crown of thorns would pierce His brow
And we beheld His offering
Exalted now the King of Kings!
Praise God for the hallowed manger ground

My Soul Magnifies the Lord
Words & Music by Chris Tomlin & Daniel Carson. ©2009 worshiptogether.com CCLI Song #5601671

Good news of great joy, for every woman every man
This will be a sign to you: a baby born in Bethlehem
Come and worship, do not be afraid

A company of angels, glory in the highest
And on the earth a peace among those on whom his favor rests
Come and worship, do not be afraid

CHORUS
My soul, my soul magnifies the Lord
My soul magnifies the Lord
He has done great things for me, great things for me

Unto you a child is born, unto us a Son is giv’n
Let ev’ry heart prepare His throne, let ev’ry nation under Heav’n
Come and worship, do not be afraid

BRIDGE
Of His government there will be no end
He’ll establish it with His righteousness
And He shall reign on David’s throne
And His name shall be from this day on
Wonderful Counselor,
Everlasting Father,
Wonderful Counselor,
Everlasting Father

The Son Forsook The Father’s Home

www.cardiphonia.org
Apostle’s Creed, Article III: “Conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary”
Bruce’s studio version
Download the entire album, Hymns of Faith, for free!

The Son Forsook The Father’s Home
Words: Samuel J. Stone, 1866; Music: Bruce Benedict, 2010.

The Son forsook the Father’s home for mercy to lost man,
And did not scorn the Virgin’s womb to bear the sinner’s ban.
Meekly the Maiden pure believed the great Archangel’s word,
And by the Holy Ghost conceived the Savior Christ the Lord.

The Word made flesh creation sees, it’s mighty God in Man,
Great mystery of mysteries since ever time began!
That we might gain a second birth the Holy Son was given,
Twas God Himself came down to earth to win us back to heaven.

Lord, we believe with love and praise this wondrous truth of Thee,
Thereby in all our troublous days how strong henceforth are we!
So near art Thou, so strong are we, for now, if we are Thine,
Our Brother in humanity, Thou makest us divine!

We see with peace in times of fear serene Thy human form,
Thy human voice with joy we hear, sweet-toned above the storm.
So dread we not the deathly strife, knowing that Thou hast died,
It can but bear us into life, since nearer to Thy side.
