JOY TO THE WORLD
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
Joy to the Earth, the Savior reigns
Let all their songs employ
While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, 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 (and wonders of His love)
And wonders of His love (and wonders of His love)
And wonders, 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:
Refrain:
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 heav'nly song? [Refrain]
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord, the new-born King. [Refrain]
See Him in a manger laid,
Jesus, Lord of heav'n and earth!
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
Sing with us our Savior's birth.
YOU ARE THE LIVING WORD
Bread of heaven sent down from glory
Many things you were on earth
A holy king, a carpenter
You are the living word
(repeat)
Awesome ruler, gentle redeemer
God with us, the living truth
And what a friend we have in You
You are the living word
(repeat)
Jesus, Jesus, that’s what we call You
Manger born but on a tree
You died to save humanity
You are the living word!
(repeat 4x)
Oh! Oh!
Oh! Oh!
Oh! Oh!
You are the living word!
(repeat)
Jesus, Jesus, that’s what we call You
Jesus, Jesus, oh, oh, oh!
You are the living word!
(repeat)

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.
REFRAIN
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 victory o'er the grave. [REFRAIN]
O come, Thou Dayspring, from on high,
And cheer us by Thy drawing nigh;
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
And death's dark shadows put to flight. [REFRAIN]
O come, Thou Key of David, come
And open wide our heav'nly home;
Make safe the way that leads on high,
And close the path to misery. [REFRAIN]
NOW BEHOLD THE LAMB
Now behold the Lamb
the Precious Lamb of God
born into sin that I may live again
the Precious Lamb of God
(2x)
Holy is the Lamb
the Precious Lamb of God
Why You love me so, Lord
I shall never know
the Precious lamb of God
(2x)
(Solo)
Now behold the Lamb
the Precious Lamb of God
Born into sin that I may live again
He's the precious Lamb of God
When I always didn't do right
I went left, He told me to go right
But I'm standing right here
in the midst of my tears, Lord
I claim You to be the Lamb of God
Thank You for the Lamb
the Precious Lamb of God
Because of Your grace
I can finish this race
the Precious Lamb of God
(Solo)
Even when I broke Your heart
my sins tore us apart
But I'm standing right here
in the midst of my tears
I claim You to be the Lamb of God
New life can begin,
for You washed away, washed away every one of my sins
Whom the Son sets free, is truly free indeed
claim You to be the Lamb of God
Now behold the Lamb
the Precious Lamb of God
born into sin that I may live again
the Precious Lamb of God
Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh
Why You love me so, Lord
I shall never know
Why You love me so, Lord
I shall never know
Why You love me so, Lord
I shall never know
the Precious Lamb of God
Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh
Why You love me so, Lord
I shall never know
the Precious Lamb of God
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,
heav'nly hosts sing, “Alleluia!
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!
JESUS IS THE REASON
