We Three Kings/Tidings Of Comfort

We three kings of Orient are,
Bearing gifts we travel 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.

Gold we bear, proclaiming Him King,
Frankincense, His worship we sing,
Myrrh’s perfume heralds death and tomb,
Our gifts to His feet we bring
(CHORUS)

BRIDGE:
O, tidings of comfort and joy!
Comfort and joy!
O, tidings of comfort and joy!
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel has come to thee, O Israel

O Come O Come Emmanuel | He Shall Reign

O come, O come, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear.

O come, Thou Dayspring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here;
Drive away the shades of night,
Pierce the clouds and bring us light

O come, O come, Thou Rod of Jesse free
Thine own from Satan’s tyranny
From depths of hell Thy people save
And give them vict’ry o’er the grave.

O come, O come, Emmanuel!
O come, O come, Emmanuel!
Rejoice, Rejoice, Rejoice!
Rejoice, Rejoice, Rejoice!

Come broken, come captive,
Come all you who mourn,
Oh groaning creation, rejoice!
A Child, a Savior,
Our healing He brings,
What freedom, what consolation!

He shall reign,
He shall reign,
He shall reign,
He shall reign!

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,
Christ the Lord

Yea, Lord, we greet Thee,
Born this happy morning
Jesus, to Thee be all glory giv’n
Word of the Father,
Now in flesh appearing
(Chorus)

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!

Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

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.

Come Thou Long-Expected Jesus / Thrill of Hope

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.

CHORUS:
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.
(Repeat Chorus)

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
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

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
