On the day of Jesus' birth

Glory filled the shepherds' view

Angel praises filled the earth,

"Christ is born! It's really true!"

King for me and King for you!

Everybody, sing and pray.

Jesus Christ is born! It's true,

Born in Bethlehem today!

2

Fast the shepherds ran to see

Off to Bethlehem they flew.

"Who can this new Baby be?"

"Christ is born! It's really true!"

King for me and King for you!

Everybody, sing and pray.

Jesus Christ is born! It's true,

Born in Bethlehem today!

3

Like the shepherds,let us bow

Let us worship Jesus too.

"Yes! In David's city now"

"Christ is born! It's really true!"

King for me and King for you!

Everybody, sing and pray.

Jesus Christ is born! It's true,

Born in Bethlehem today!

1

O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant

O come ye, O come ye, to Bethlehem

Come and behold Him, born the King of angels

O come, let us adore Him. O come, let us adore Him

O come, let us adore Him. Christ the Lord

2

Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation

O sing, all ye citizens of heaven above!

Glory to God, all glory in the highest

O come, let us adore Him. O come, let us adore Him

O come, let us adore Him. Christ the Lord

3

For God of true God, Light from Light Eternal

Lo, He shuns not the Virgin’s womb

Son of the Father, begotten, not created

O come, let us adore Him. O come, let us adore Him

O come, let us adore Him. Christ the Lord

4

Yea, Lord, we greet Thee

Born this happy morning

Jesus, to Thee be glory given

Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing

O come, let us adore Him. O come, let us adore Him

O come, let us adore Him. Christ the Lord

Amen

1

The first Noel the angel did say

Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay

In fields where they lay tending their sheep

On a cold winter’s night that was so deep

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel

2

They looked up and saw a star

Shining in the east, beyond them far

And to the earth it gave great light

And so it continued both day and night

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel

3

This star drew nigh to the northwest

Over Bethlehem it took its rest

And there it did both stop and stay

Right over the place where Jesus lay

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel

4

Then entered in those Wise Men three

Full reverently upon the knee

And offered there, in His presence

Their gold and myrrh and frankincense

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel

Amen

1

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.

2

"Fear not" said he for mighty dread

Had seized their troubled mind

"Gld tidings of great joy I bring

To you and all mankind

To you and all mankind"

3

"To you, in David's town this day,

Is born of David's line,

The Saviour, who is Chrsit, the Lord,

And this shall be the sign:

And this shall be the sign."

4

"The heav'nly 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."

5

Thus spake the seraph, and forth-with

Appeared a shining throng

Of angels praising God, Who thus

Addressed their joyful song,

Addressed their joyful song.

6

"All glory be to God on high,

And to the earth be peace;

Good will henceforth, from heav'n to men,

Begin and never cease!

Begin and never cease!"

1

Angels we have heard on high

Sweetly singing o’er the plains

And the mountains in reply

Echoing their joyous strains

Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

2

Shepherds, why this jubilee?

Why your joyous strains prolong?

What the gladsome tidings be

Which inspire your heavenly song?

Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

3

Come to Bethlehem and see

Christ Whose birth the angels sing

Come, adore on bended knee

Christ the Lord, the newborn King

Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

4

See Him in a manger laid

Whom the choirs of angels praise

Mary, Joseph, lend your aid

While our hearts in love we raise

Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

Amen

1

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 the angelic host proclaim

"Christ is born in Bethlehem!"

Hark! the herald angels sing

"Glory to the newborn King"

2

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 Godhead see

Hail the incarnate Deity

Pleased as man with men to dwell

Jesus our Emmanuel

Hark! the herald angels sing

"Glory to the newborn King"

3

Hail the heav’n-born Prince of Peace!

Hail the Sun of Righteousness!

Light and life to all He brings

Risen 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"

Amen

1

Jesus' love is, oh, so precious

Dear beyond all words tome!

He who had no fault or failing,

Let His foes His captors be,

Dying on the cross He showed,

Unchanged, that love all loves above,

Prayed for those who mocked and slew Him,

Oh, how precious is that love!

2

Jesus' strength is,oh, so mighty

Wondrous beyond words tome!

After fasting forty days

He let His foes His tester be.

There enduring form the tempter,

All temptation's breadth and length,

Never did His faint or falter,

Oh, how wondrous is that strength!

3

Jesus' glory is so brilliant

Glorious beyond words tome!

Rising from the tomb, He broke

The pow'r of death eternally.

Now ascended into heaven,

Seated on the Father's right,

Praise and adoration given,

Oh, that glory is so bright!

1

O Thou Eternal Christ of God,

Ride on! Ride on! Ride on!

Establish Thou forevermore

The triumph now begun.

A mighty host, by Thee redeemed,

Is marching in Thy train:

Thine is the Kingdom and the power,

And Thou in love shalt reign.

2

O Holy Saviour of mankind,

Ride on! Ride on! Ride on!

We bear with Thee the scourge and cross

If so Thy will is done.

And be the road uphill or down,

Unbroken or well trod.

We go with Thee to claim and build

A city unto God.

3

O Thou whose dreams enthrall the heart,

Ride on! Ride on! Ride on!

Ride on till tyranny and greed

Are evermore undone.

In mart and court and parliament

The common good increase,

Till men at last shall ring the bellls

Of brotherhood and peace.

4

O Thou Who art the Life and

Light, Exalted Lord and King,

We hail Thine august majesty

And loud hosanna sing.

Until in ev'ry land and clime

Thine ends of love are won,

O Christ, Redeemer, Brother, Friend,

Ride on! Ride on! Ride on! Amen.

1

O young and fearless Prophet

of Ancient Galilee:

Thy life is still a summons to

serve humanity,

To make our thoughts and actions

less prone to please the crowd,

To stand with humble courage

for Truth with hearts uncowed.

2

We marvel at the purpose

that held Thee to Thy course,

While ever on the hilltip

before Thee loomed the cross

Thy steadfast face set forward

where love and duty shone,

While we betray so quickly

and leave Thee there alone.

3

Create in us the splendor

that dawns when hearts are kind,

That knows, not race or station

as bound'ries of the mind,

That learns to value beauty

in heart or brain or soul,

And longs to bind God's children

into one perfect whole.

4

O young and fearless Prophet,

we need Thy presence here,

Amid our pride and glory

to see Thy face appear

Once more to hear Thy Challenge

above our noisy day,

Again to lead us forward

along God's holy way. Amen.

1

All glory, laud and honor

To Thee, Redeemer, King,

To whom the lips of children

Made sweet hosannas ring.

Thou art the King of Israel,

Thou David's royal Son,

Who in the Lord's name comest,

The King and Blessed One.

2

The company of angels

Are praising Thee on high,

And mortal men and all things

Created make reply.

The people of the Hebrews

With palms before Thee went

Our praise and prayer and anthems

Before Thee we present.

3

To Thee, before Thy passion,

They sang their hymns of praise

To Thee, now high exalted,

Our melody we raise.

Thou didst accept their praises

Accept the praise we bring,

Who in all good delightest,

Thou good and gracious King. Amen.

1

When His salvation bringing,

To Zion Jesus came,

The children all stood singing

Hosanna to His Name:

Nor did their zeal offend Him,

But as He rode along,

He let them still attend Him,

And smiled to hear their song.

2

And since the Lord retaineth

His love for children still,

Though now as King He reigneth

On Zion's heavenly hill,

We'll flock around His banner

Who sits upon His throne,

And cry aloud, "Hosanna

To David's royal Son!"

3

For should we fail proclaiming

Our great Redeemer's praise,

The stones, Our silence shaming,

Would their Hosannas raise,

But shall we only render

The tribute of our words

No, while our hearts are tender,

They too shall be the Lord's. Amen.

1

Hosanna, loud hosanna

The little children sang

Though pillared court and temple

The lovely anthem rang

To Jesus, who had blessed them

Close folded to His breast,

The children sang their praises,

The simplest and the best.

2

From Olivet they followed

Mid an exultant crowd,

The victor palm branch waving,

And chanting clear and loud

The Lord of men and angels

Rode on in lowly state,

Nor scorned that little children

Should on His bidding wait.

3

"Hosanna in the highest!"

That ancient song we sing,

For Christ is our Redeemer,

The Lord of heav'n, our King

O may we ever praise Him

With heart and life and voice,

And in His blissful presence

Eternally rejoice! Amen.

1

Oh, how sweet the glorious message,

Simple faith may claim

Yesterday, today, forever,

Jesus is the same.

Still He loves to save the sinful,

Heal the sick and lame

Cheer the mourner, still the tempest

Glory to His name!

Yesterday, today, forever,

Jesus is the same,

All may change, but Jesus never!

Glory to His name.

Glory to His name,

Glory to His name

All may change, but Jesus never!

Glory to His name.

2

He who mid the raging billows

Walk'd upon the sea

Still can hush our wildest tempest,

As on Galilee.

He who wept and pray'd in anguish,

In Gethsemane,

Drinks with us each cup of trembling,

In our agony.

Yesterday, today, forever,

Jesus is the same,

All may change, but Jesus never!

Glory to His name.

Glory to His name,

Glory to His name

All may change, but Jesus never!

Glory to His name.

3

He who pardon'd erring Peter,

Never need'st thou fear

He that came to faithless Thomas

All thy doubt will clear.

He who let the lov'd disciple

On His bosom rest

Bids thee still, with love as tender,

Lean upon His breast.

Yesterday, today, forever,

Jesus is the same,

All may change, but Jesus never!

Glory to His name.

Glory to His name,

Glory to His name

All may change, but Jesus never!

Glory to His name.

4

As of old He walk'd to Emmaus,

With them to abide,

So thro' all life's way He walketh,

Ever near our side,

Soon again shall we behold Him.

Hasten, Lord, the day!

But 'twill still be "this same Jesus,"

As He went away.

Yesterday, today, forever,

Jesus is the same,

All may change, but Jesus never!

Glory to His name.

Glory to His name,

Glory to His name

All may change, but Jesus never!

Glory to His name.

1

'Tis midnight; and on Olive's brow

The star is dimmed that lately shone

'Tis midnight; in the garden now

The suffring Saviour prays alone.

2

'Tis midnight; and from all removed,

The Saviour wrestles lone with fears

E'en that disciple whom He loved

Heeds not His Master's grief and tears.

3

'Tis midnight; and for others' guilt

The Man of Sorrows weeps in blood

Yet He that hath in anguish knelt

Is not forsaken by His God.

4

'Tis midnight; and form heav'nly plains

Is borne the song that angels know

Unheard by mortals are the strains

That sweetly soothe the Saviour's woe. Amen.

1

On a hill for away stood an old rugged cross,

The emblem of suffering and shame

And I love that old cross where the dearest and best

For a world of lost sinners was slain.

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,

Till my trophies at last I lay down

I will cling to the old rugged cross,

And exchange it come day for a crown.

2

Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,

Has a wondrou attraction for me

For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above

To bear it to dark Calvary.

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,

Till my trophies at last I lay down

I will cling to the old rugged cross,

And exchange it come day for a crown.

3

In the old rugged cross, stained, with blood so divine,

A Wondrous beauty I see

For 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died

To pardon and sanctify me.

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,

Till my trophies at last I lay down

I will cling to the old rugged cross,

And exchange it come day for a crown.

4

To the old rugged cross,I will ever be true,

Its shame and reproach gladly bear

Then He'll call me some day to my home far a way,

Where His glory forever I'll share.

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,

Till my trophies at last I lay down

I will cling to the old rugged cross,

And exchange it come day for a crown.

1

Were you there when they crucified my Lord

Were you there when they crucified my Lord

Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble,

Were you there when they crucified my Lord

2

Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree

Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree

Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble,

Were you there when they crucified my Lord

3

Were you there when the sun refused to shine

Were you there when the sun refused to shine

Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble,

Were you there when they crucified my Lord

4

Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb

Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb

Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble,

Were you there when they crucified my Lord

5

Were you there when He rose up from the dead

Were you there when He rose up from the dead

Oh! Sometimes I feel like shouting glory glory glory

Were you there when they crucified my Lord

1

Marvelous grace of loving Lord,

Grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt,

Yonder on Calvary's mount outpoured,

There where the blood of the Lamb was split.

Grace, grace, God's grace,

Grace that will pardon and cleanse within

Grace, grace, God's grace,

Grace that is greater than all our sin.

2

Sin and despair like the sea waves cold,

Threaten the soul with infinite loss

Grace that is greater, yes, grace untold,

Points to the refuge, the mighty Cross.

Grace, grace, God's grace,

Grace that will pardon and cleanse within

Grace, grace, God's grace,

Grace that is greater than all our sin.

3

Dark is the stain that we cannot hide,

What can avail to wash it away

Look! there is flowing a crimson tide

Whiter than snow you may be today.

Grace, grace, God's grace,

Grace that will pardon and cleanse within

Grace, grace, God's grace,

Grace that is greater than all our sin.

4

Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace,

Freely bestowed on all who believe

You that are longing to see His face,

Will you this momnet His grace receive

Grace, grace, God's grace,

Grace that will pardon and cleanse within

Grace, grace, God's grace,

Grace that is greater than all our sin.

1

Alas! and did my Savior bleed

And did my Sovereign die?

Would He devote that sacred head

For such a worm as I?

At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light

And the burden of my heart rolled away

It was there by faith I received my sight

And now I am happy all the day!

2

Was it for crimes that I had done

He groaned upon the tree?

Amazing pity! grace unknown!

And love beyond degree!

At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light

And the burden of my heart rolled away

It was there by faith I received my sight

And now I am happy all the day!

3

No tears of grief can e’er repay

The debt of love I owe

Here, Lord, I give myself away

’Tis all that I can do

At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light

And the burden of my heart rolled away

It was there by faith I received my sight

And now I am happy all the day!

1

King of my life, I crown Thee now,

Thine shall the glory be

Lest I forget Thy thorncrowned brow,

Lead me to Galvary.

Lest I forget Gethsemane

Lest I forget Thine agony

Lest I forget Thy love for me,

Lead me to Calvary.

2

Show me the tomb where Thou wast laid,

Tenderly mourn'd and wept

Angels in robes of light arrayed

Guarded Thee whilst Thou slept.

Lest I forget Gethsemane

Lest I forget Thine agony

Lest I forget Thy love for me,

Lead me to Calvary.

3

Let me, like Mary thro' the gloom,

Come with a gift to Thee

Show to me now the empty tomb,

Lead me to Galvary.

Lest I forget Gethsemane

Lest I forget Thine agony

Lest I forget Thy love for me,

Lead me to Calvary.

4

May I be willing, Lord, to bear

Daily my cross for Thee

Even Thy cup of grief to share,

Thou hast borne all for me.

Lest I forget Gethsemane

Lest I forget Thine agony

Lest I forget Thy love for me,

Lead me to Calvary. Amen.

1

O come and mourn with me a while

O come ye to the Saviour's side

O come, together let us mourn:

Jesus, our Lord, is crucified!

2

Have we no tears to shed for Him,

While soldiers mock and foes deride

Ah! look how patiently He hangs:

Jesus, our Lord, is crucified!

3

Seven times He spake, seven words of love

And all three hours His silence cried

For mercy on the souls of men:

Jesus, our Lord, is crucified!

4

O love of God, O sin of man!

In this dread act your strength is tried,

And victory remains with love:

Jesus, our Lord, is crucified!
