Joy to the World (Unspeakable Joy)

Joy to the world,
 the Lord is come!


Let earth receive her King!


Let every heart
 prepare Him room,

And heav'n and nature sing,


And heav'n and nature sing,

And heav'n and heav'n
 and nature sing!


Joy to the world, 
the Savior reigns;

Let all their songs employ;!

While field and floods,


rocks, hills, and plains

Repeat the sounding joy,


Repeat the sounding joy,


Repeat, repeat
 the sounding joy!


Joy! Unspeakable joy!


An overflowing well,


No tongue can tell!


Joy! Unspeakable joy!


It rises in my soul,


Never lets me go!


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!


Joy! Unspeakable joy!


An overflowing well,


No tongue can tell!


Joy! Unspeakable joy!


It rises in my soul,


Never lets me go!


Joy! Unspeakable joy!


An overflowing well,


No tongue can tell!


Joy! Unspeakable joy!


It rises in my soul,


Never lets me go!

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!



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!

Charles Wesley, Christian Friedrich Witt, 1744, Public Domain


Hope Has a Name

Breaking through the silence

With glory in the highest,

The hope of all creation

Resting in his mother's arms


A song on the horizon

Ringing through the heavens,

The long-awaited Savior

Come to set the captives free!

...to set us free!


Hope has a name, Emmanuel!

The Light of the World

Who broke through the darkness!

All hail the King, Emmanuel!

The Light of the World!

The Glory of Heaven!


We didn't see it coming,

The story of redemption!

What started in a manger

Ended in an empty grave!


Hope has a name, Emmanuel!

The Light of the World

Who broke through the darkness!

All hail the King, Emmanuel!

The Light of the World!

The Glory of Heaven!


Come if you're broken,

Come if you're searching,

If you need healing

He's where you find it!

Lay down your burdens

And breathe in forgiveness!

If you need freedom

He's where you find it!

Oh if you need freedom

He's where you find it!

He's where you find it!


Hope has a name, Emmanuel!

The Light of the World

Who broke through the darkness!

All hail the King, Emmanuel!

The Light of the World!

The Glory of Heaven!


Hope has a name, Emmanuel!

The Light of the World

Who broke through the darkness!

All hail the King, Emmanuel!

The Light of the World!

The Glory of Heaven!

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 th'angelic hosts proclaim,

"
Christ is born in Bethlehem!"

Hark the herald angels sing


Glory to the newborn King!



Christ by highest heav'n 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!



Hail the heav'n born
 Prince of Peace!

Hail the Sun 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!

O Come All You Unfaithful

O come, all you unfaithful,

Come, weak and unstable,

Come, know you are not alone!


O come, barren and waiting ones,

Weary of praying, come,

See what your God has done!


Christ is born!

Christ is born!

Christ is born for you!


O come, bitter and broken,

Come, with fears unspoken,

Come, taste of His perfect love!


O come, guilty and hiding ones!

There is no need to run!

See what your God has done!


Christ is born!

Christ is born!

Christ is born for you!

Christ is born!

Christ is born!

Christ is born for you!


He's the Lamb who was given;

Slain for our pardon!

His promise is peace

For those who believe!


So come, though you have nothing!

Come, He is the offering!

Come, see what your God has done!


Christ is born!

Christ is born!

Christ is born for you!

Christ is born!

Christ is born!

Christ is born for you!

Light of the World

Light of the World, Treasure of Heaven,

Brilliant like the stars in the wintery sky!

Joy of the Father,

reach through the darkness,

Shine across the earth,

Send the shadows to flight!


Light of the World, from the beginning

The tragedies of time

were no match for Your love!

From great heights of glory

You saw my story

God You entered in

and became one of us!


Sing hallelujah! Sing hallelujah!

Sing hallelujah for the things

He has done!

Come and adore Him!

Bow down before Him!

Sing hallelujah to the Light of the World!


Light of the world, Crown in a manger

Born for the cross, to suffer, to save!

High King of Heaven, death is the poorer

We are the richer

by the price that He paid


Sing hallelujah! Sing hallelujah!

Sing hallelujah for the things

He has done!

Come and adore Him!

Bow down before Him!

Sing hallelujah to the Light of the World!


Light of the World, soon will be coming

With fire in His eyes,

He will ransom His own!

Through clouds He will lead us

straight into glory

And there He shall reign forevermore!


Sing hallelujah! Sing hallelujah!

Sing hallelujah for the things

He has done!

Come and adore Him!

Bow down before Him!

Sing hallelujah to the Light of the World!

Heaven Has Come to Us

Unto us, from on high

Reaching down into the deepest night,

To the world hope has come!

In the dark, the Light of Life has dawned!


What a mystery, oh what love!

Oh how can it be that

Heaven has come to us?


Unto us, meek and mild,

God eternal born a helpless child

Set aside Heaven's throne,

Veiled in weakness came unto His own!


What a mystery, oh what love!

Oh how can it be that

Heaven has come?

What a mystery, oh what love!

Oh how can it be that

Heaven has come to us?


Unto us grace has come

Here to seek and bring the sinner home!

Lived to die, rose to reign,

Son of Man the Lamb for sinners slain!


What a mystery, oh what love!

Oh how can it be that

Heaven has come?

What a mystery, oh what love!

Oh how can it be that

Heaven has come to us?

O Holy Night

O holy night,

the stars are brightly shining!

It is the night
 of the 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!


Oh hear the angel 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,


before Him lowly 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!

Oh praise His name forever!


His power and glory
 evermore proclaim!


His power and glory
 evermore proclaim!



He knows our need,


to our weakness is no stranger!


Behold your King,


before Him lowly bend!


Behold your King,


before Him lowly bend!

Placide Cappeau, Adolphe Charles Adam, John S. Dwight, 1847, Public Domain


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 allelulia,


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!

Franz Gruber, 1818, Public Domain
