Praise Selections
WE SING PRAISES TO OUR KING
We sing praises to our King
for He is the King of kings
We sing praises to our King
for He is the King of kings
Give Him glory for He is the King!
Give Him glory for He’s the King of kings!
All hail King Jesus!
All hail Emmanuel!
He reigns forever, He reigns forever
He reigns forever, and ever more!
JOY TO THE WORLD
Joy to the world; the Lord is come;
Let Earth receive her King;
Let ev'ry Heart prepare him room,
And Heav'n and nature sing.
Joy to the Earth, the Savior reigns,
Let men their Songs employ,
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains,
Repeat the sounding joy.
He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of his righteousness,
And wonders of his love.
ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH
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.
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavn'ly song?
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing.
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord, the newborn King.
See him in a manger laid,
Whom the choirs of angels praise.
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid
While our hearts in love we raise.
O COME, O COME EMMANUEL
O come, O come, Emmanuel,
and ransom captive Israel
that mourns in lonely exile here
until the Son of God appear.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
shall come to you, O Israel.
O come, O come, Thou Lord of might,
who to Thy tribes on Sinai's height
in ancient times didst give the law
in cloud and majesty and awe.
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 victory o'er the grave
O come, O Key of David, come
and open wide our heavenly home.
Where all Thy saints with Thee shall dwell
O come, O come Emmnauel!
GLORY AND HONOR
While Shepherds watched, their flocks by night
There came from heaven such a wonderous sight
The sky was filled, with holy light, holy light
And Angels voices filled that lonely night
I can hear the angels sing...
Glory, Glory, Glory, oh, oh, oh
Glory, Glory, Glory, oh, oh, oh
Glory and Honor to the New Born King
Glory Hallelujah in the Highest!
Wonderful Counselor
Oh, who do you call the wonderful counselor?
Oh, glory hallelujah!
Oh, glory hallelujah!
glory hallelujah to the new-born King!
Oh, I call Jesus the wonderful counselor.
Oh, glory hallelujah!
Oh, glory hallelujah!
glory hallelujah to the new-born King
Born in a manger…
Died on a cross…
Rose from the dead…
Coming Again…
He's my savior…
GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN
Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
While shepherds kept their watching
O'er silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a Holy light
Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
The shepherds feared and trembled
When, lo! Above the Earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed our Savior's birth
Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
Down in a lowly manger
Our humble Christ was born
And brought us all salvation
That blessed Christmas morn
Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
CAROL MEDLEY
Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born
Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born . . .
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 host proclaim, “Christ is born in Bethlehem!”
Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!”
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.
Joy to the world, the Lord is come! Let earth receive her king!
Let every heart prepare Him room and heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and heaven and nature sing
Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born
Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King,
Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled.”
Joy to the world the Lord is come! Let earth receive her king!
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!
