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 thee, O Israel.
O come, thou Wisdom from on high,
And order all things, far and nigh;
To us the path of knowledge show;
And teach us in her ways to go.
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, Desire of nations, bind
All peoples in one heart and mind;
Bid envy, strife, and quarrels cease;
Fill all the world with heaven’s peace.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
Welcome and Prayer of Praise
“Hark the Herald Angels Sing/King of Heaven”
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 angelic hosts proclaim Christ is born in Bethlehem
Hark the herald angels sing glory to the newborn King
Hail the heaven born Prince of Peace, hail the Son 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
King of heaven, come down, King of heaven, come now
Let Your glory reign, shining like the day, King of heaven come
King of heaven, rise up, who can stand against us
You are strong to save, in Your mighty name, King of heaven, come
Christ, by highest heaven adored, Christ, the ever-lasting Lord
Late in time behold Him come, offspring of a virgin’s womb
Veiled in flesh the God-head see, Hail the incarnate Deity
Pleased as man with men to dwell, Jesus our Emmanuel
Hark the herald angles sing glory to the newborn King
King of heaven, come down, King of heaven, come now
Let Your glory reign, shining like the day, King of heaven come
King of heaven, rise up, who can stand against us
You are strong to save, in Your mighty name, King of heaven, come
King of heaven, come, King of heaven, come
King of heaven, come, King of heaven, come
King of heaven, come down, King of heaven, come now
Let Your glory reign, shining like the day, King of heaven come

Song
“Behold Him”
He who was before there was light
Walked across the pages of time
He who made every living thing, behold Him
He who heard humanity’s cry
Left His throne to wake as a child
He became like the least of us, behold Him
Jesus, Son of God, Messiah
The Lamb, the Roaring Lion
O be still, and behold Him
He who dined with sinners and saints
Healed the blind, the lost, and the lame
Even now He is in our midst, behold Him
He who chose a criminal’s end
Paid with blood to settle our debt
Buried death as He rose to life, behold Him
Jesus, Son of God, Messiah
The Lamb, the Roaring Lion
O be still, and behold Him
Jesus, Alpha and Omega
Our God, the Risen Savior
O be still and behold Him
Oh, Oh, Oh
Bridge:
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty
Worthy, worthy, worthy to receive all praise
