O come, o come Emmanuel
and ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here,
until the Son of God appears
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to Thee, O Israel
O come, thou Dayspring,
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!
Emmanuel shall come to Thee, O Israel
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 over the grave
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to Thee, O Israel
O come, Desire of nations
bind in one the hearts of all mankind
Bid envy strife and sorrows cease,
and be Thyself, our Prince of peace
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to Thee, O Israel

Hope Has Come

|

|
Let us join with the angel voices
Let us join their happy song
All of heaven and earth rejoices
For the Lamb of God has come
He has come to rescue sinners
Come to meet our desperate need
He was born to bring forgiveness
Born for Calvary
Alleluia hope has come
Alleluia Christ has come
We once were slaves in misery
Till You appeared and set us free
Alleluia hope has come
Let us lay our gifts before Him
Let us magnify His name
With our thankful hearts adore Him
For the Lord has come to save
He has come to break sin's power
He has come to set us free
Hope was born that glorious hour
Christ the mighty King

There’s a joy that’s come into the world
For the Lord, our Savior has come
Let all the earth come and welcome Him
And every heart prepare Him room!
And now heaven and earth declare
Now heaven and earth declare
that there is
Joy unspeakable! It’s unimaginable!
So freely given
There is joy here for everyone,
now His song has begun
And we will dance for joy!
And there is joy that’s spreading over the earth
As the Lord, our Savior, He reigns
Let all peoples break forth in song!
And the hills, the plains, the trees of the field
Reverberate and resound
Reverberate and resound
the sounding
Joy unspeakable! It’s unimaginable!
So freely given
There is joy here for everyone,
now His song has begun
And we will dance for joy!
There is joy for the souls of the world
There is freedom that’s found in His grace
Now that the scarlet of my sin has been cleansed
And my shame is covered as with snow
And I bear it’s guilt no more
And I bear it’s guilt no more
and there is
Joy unspeakable! It’s unimaginable!
So freely given
There is joy here for everyone,
Yes our Lord has come
And we will dance for joy!

Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum
A new born King to see, pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King, pa rum pum pum pum,

So to honor Him, pa rum pum pum pum,
When we come.
Little Baby, pa rum pum pum pum
I am a poor boy too, pa rum pum pum pum
I have no gift to bring, pa rum pum pum pum
That's fit to give the King, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,
Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum pum,
On my drum?
Mary nodded, pa rum pum pum pum
The ox and lamb kept time, pa rum pum pum pum

I played my best for Him, pa rum pum pum pum,

Then He smiled at me, pa rum pum pum pum

What Child is This?
05:07
|
|
||
|
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 Christians, 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.
What Child is this, Who is so blessed,
He changes all tomorrows?
Replacing fears with reborn years
in hearts once dark and hollow
“This is Christ,” the angels sing,
the Prince of Peace, the King of kings!
Sing! Sing; declare His praise,
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.

Babe in the Straw
03:28
|
|

Who is this Child asleep in a manger?
The heavens are bright; the stable so cold
On this holy night
have You come to redeem us?
Little Child in the straw
Little Child in the straw
Who is this Babe?
The Prince of the universe
A donkey is braying;
Angels are singing
The prophets did say
You would come to redeem the world
Little Babe in the straw
save us all
And if we lose sight of Your sweet face
At the birth of grace
At the birth of grace
Light of truth
Shine like Bethlehem's star
And lead us to where You are
Show us who You are
Merciful One: Lover of ev'ry soul
The Father's own Son
Emmanuel
Yes we believe
You are able to heal us
Noel! Noel! save us all
Save us tonight
Little Babe in the straw

Carol of the Birds
03:12
|
|

Upon this holy night, when God's star appears,
And floods the earth with brightness,
Birds' voices rise in song, and, warbling all night long,
Express their glad hearts' lightness.
Birds' voices rise in song, and, warbling all night long,
Express their glad hearts' lightness.
The Nightingale is first to bring his song of cheer,
And tell us of his gladness:
"Jesus, our Lord, is born to free us from all sin,
and banish ev'ry sadness!
"Jesus, our Lord, is born to free us from all sin,
and banish ev'ry sadness!
The answ'ring Sparrow cries:
"God comes to earth this day
Amid the angels flying."
Trilling in sweetest tones, the Finch his Lord now owns:
"To Him be all thanksgiving."
Trilling in sweetest tones, the Finch his Lord now owns:
"To Him be all thanksgiving."
The Partridge adds his note: "To Bethlehem I'll fly,
Where in the stall He’s lying.
There, near the manger blest, I'll build myself a nest,
And sing my love undying.
There, near the manger blest, I'll build myself a nest,
And sing my love undying.
Jesus, our Lord, is born to free us from all sin,
and banish ev'ry sadness!

Little Town

O little town of Bethlehem how still we see thee lie
Above thy dark 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
Fa la la la….
The lamp lit streets of Bethlehem
we walk now through the night
There is no peace in Bethlehem; there is no peace in sight
The wounds of generations almost too deep to heal
Scar the timeworn miracle and make it seem surreal
Fa la la la….
The baby in the manger grew to a man one day
And still we try to listen now
to what he had to say
“Put up your swords forever”,
”Forgive your enemies”
“Love your neighbor as yourself”
“Let your little children come to me”
Fa la la la ….
O little town of Bethlehem how still we see thee lie
Above thy dark and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by

This Winter's Night
05:13

|

Sweet little Jesus child
Born in the hay our savior today
What can I give to you
But my ruined life, my ten thousand stripes.
How many times have You met me here?
In the December cold regretting one more year
I know you’ve always been there
since the Christmas You came down
But I suppose I think of that
when January rolls around…
O gentle holy baby
The world turns it’s back on You
sleeping peacefully in the straw
While the sins of our lives destroy and infect us all
But there is answer, there is a peace
There is a bright star shining in the East
But we’ve got shopping malls
and colored Christmas tree lights
We’ve got our own ways
and our sins to light this winter’s night
Silent Night, O Holy Night
Won’t you come down this winter’s night?
Sweet little Jesus child
Lord help me see
You don’t care ‘bout these lights, this tree
All you really care about is me
Silent Night, O Holy Night
Won’t you come down?

The Rebel Jesus
04:00
|
|
||
|
All the streets are filled with laughter and light
And the music of the season
And the merchants' windows are all bright
With the faces of the children
And the families hurrying to their homes
As the sky darkens and freezes
Will be gathering around the hearths and tables
Giving thanks for all God's graces
And the birth of the rebel Jesus
Well, they call him by the "Prince of Peace"
And they call him by "The Saviour"
And they pray to him upon the sea
And in every bold endeavor
As they fill his churches with their pride and gold
And their faith in them increases
But they've turned the nature that I worship in
From a temple to a robber's den
In the words of the rebel Jesus
We guard our world with locks and guns
And we guard our fine possessions
And then once a year when Christmas comes
We give to our relations
And perhaps we give a little to the poor
If the generosity should seize us
But if any one of us should interfere
In the business of why there are poor
They get the same as the rebel Jesus
But pardon me if I have seemed
To take the tone of judgment
For I've no wish to come between
This day and your enjoyment
In this life of hardship and of earthly toil
We have need for anything that frees us
So I bid you pleasure and I bid you cheer
From a heathen and a pagan
On the side of the rebel Jesus.

Peace on earth, there is hope for everyone
Tell the world, that the saving King has come
And His light is here for all who live in darkness
And His love is here for all the broken hearted

And all who believe Him and all who receive Him
are children born of God
Gloria in excelsis Deo! in excelsis Deo!

Come fall at His feet
Won't you sing, sing to the King
Go tell everyone that Christ is born
Glory fills the sky
As Mary sings a lullaby
Emmanuel is born tonight
Give all that you are
Follow the star
And leave all that you have behind
Glory fills the sky
As Mary sings a lullaby
Emmanuel is born tonight
Hope has come to us
The maker of the universe
Emmanuel is born tonight
Holy! Holy! God Almighty!
Glory fills the sky
As Mary sings a lullaby
Emmanuel is born tonight

The maker of the universe
Emmanuel is born tonight
Holy! Holy! God Almighty!

O Holy Night
07:06
|
|

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,
'Til He appear'd 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 angels' voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born;
O night O holy night, O night Divine.
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,
Here came the wise men from Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger;
In all our trials born to be our friend.
He knows our need, to our weakness is no stranger,
Behold your King! Before Him lowly bend!
Behold your King, Your King, before Him bend!
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.
Christ is the Lord! O praise His Name forever,
His power and glory evermore proclaim!
His power and glory evermore proclaim!
Fall on your knees! O hear the angels' voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born;
O night O holy night, O night Divine.

Still the Night

Still the night, holy the night,
Sleeps the world hid from sight
Mary and Joseph in stable bare,
watch the Child with wonder and care
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Still the night, holy the night,
God’s Son laughs! Oh how bright
Love is smiling from Thy face,
Strikes for us now the hour of grace
Jesus, Lord at Your birth,
Jesus, Lord at Your birth
Still the night, holy the night,
brings the world salvation’s Light
Coming down from Heaven above,
mercy abundant displayed to us
Jesus in human form,
Jesus in human form
Still the night, holy the night,
Where today all the might
Of His fatherly love us hath graced
and then Jesus as brother embraced
All the peoples on earth,
all the peoples on earth
Still the night, Holy the night,
The ancient vow to cleanse sin’s plight
Fulfilled to free us from wrath and hell
Through Jesus Christ – Emmanuel
Salvation offered to all
Salvation offered to all
Still the night, Holy the night,
Shepherds first beheld the sight,
“Hallelujah” the angels sang,
Near and far so loudly rang;
Jesus, the Savior, is here!
Jesus, the Savior, is here!
