Songs for Practice

ANCIENT WORDS

Holy words long preserved for our walk in this world 

They resound with God’s own heart, O let the ancient words impart 

  Words of life, words of hope, give us strength, help us cope 

In this world, where’re we roam, ancient words will guide us home 

Ancient words, ever true, changing me, changing you 

We have come with open hearts, O let the ancient words impart 

  Holy words of our faith, handed down to this age 

Came to us through sacrifice, O heed the faithful words of Christ 

Ancient words ever true, changing me, changing you 

We have come with open hearts, O let the ancient words impart 

We have come with open hearts, O let the ancient words impart

What Child Is This

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 sheep are feeding 

Good Christian 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 

  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 the song on high, the virgin sings her lullaby 

Joy, joy for Christ is born, the babe, the Son of Mary

One Small Child


One small child in a land of a thousand, one small dream of a Savior tonight 

One small hand reaching out to the starlight, one small city of life, O 

  Grace 

One king bringing his gold and riches, one king ruling an army of might 

One king kneeling with incense and candlelight, one King bringing us life, O 

See Him lying a cradle beneath Him, see Him smiling in the stall 

See His mother praising His Father, see His tiny eyelids fall 

  Abbie 

One small light from the flame of a candle, one small light from a city of might 

One small light from the stars in the endless night, one small light from a face, O 

See the shepherds kneeling before Him, see the kings on bended knee 

See His mother praising His Father, see the blessed infant sleep 

  One small child in a land of a thousand, one small dream in a people of might 

One small hand reaching out to the starlight, one small Savior of life, O  

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 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 th’incarnate Deity 

Pleased as man with men to dwell, Jesus our Emmanuel 

Hark, the herald angels sing, glory to the newborn King 

  Anna Grace: Violin Verse 

  Hail the heav’n-born Prince of Peace, hail the Son 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 

Hard, the herald angels sing, glory to the newborn King


That Beautiful Name


Choir 

I know of a name, a beautiful name that angels brought down to earth 

They whispered it low, one night long ago, to a maiden of lowly birth 

That beautiful name, that beautiful name, from sin has pow’r to free us 

That beautiful name, that wonderful name, that matchless name is Jesus 

  Khali, Gracie, Izi 

I know of a name, a beautiful name, that unto a Babe was giv’n 

The stars glittered bright throughout that glad night, and angels praised God in heav’n 

That beautiful name, that beautiful name, from sin has pow’r to free us 

That beautiful name, that wonderful name, that matchless name is Jesus 

  Lily, Tori, Charlotte 

The One of that name, my Savior became, my Savior of Calvary 

My sins nailed Him there, my burdens He bare, He suffered this all for me 

That beautiful name, that beautiful name, from sin has pow’r to free us 

That beautiful name, that wonderful name, that matchless name is Jesus 

  Choir 

I love that blest name, that wonderful name, made higher than all in heav’n 

Twas whispered, I know, in my heart long ago, to Jesus my life I’ve giv’n 

That beautiful name, that beautiful name, from sin has pow’r to free us 

That beautiful name, that wonderful name, that matchless name is Jesus  

We Three Kings

Choir 

We three kings of Orient are, bearing gifts we traverse afar 

Field and fountain, moor and mountain, following yonder star 

O, star of wonder, star of night, star with royal beauty bright 

Westward leading, still proceeding, guide us to thy perfect light 

  Lewis, Wesley G, Ted 

Born a King on Bethlehem’s plain, gold I bring to crown Him again 

King forever, ceasing never, over us all to reign 

O, star of wonder, star of night, star with royal beauty bright 

Westward leading, still proceeding, guide us to thy perfect light 

  Hannah, Hunter, Maura 

Frankincense to offer have I, incense owns a Deity nigh 

Prayer and praising, voices raising, worshiping God on high 

O, star of wonder, star of night, star with royal beauty bright 

Westward leading, still proceeding, guide us to thy perfect light 

  Noah, Eli, Wesley K 

Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume breathes a life of gathering gloom 

Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying, sealed in the stone cold tomb 

O, star of wonder, star of night, star with royal beauty bright 

Westward leading, still proceeding, guide us to thy perfect light 

  Choir 

Glorious now behold Him arise, King and God and Sacrifice 

Alleluia, alleluia, sounds through the earth and skies 

O, star of wonder, star of night, star with royal beauty bright 

Westward leading, still proceeding, guide us to thy perfect light  


O Sing A Song Of Bethlehem

Memphis 

O sing a song of Bethlehem, of shepherds watching there 

And of the news that came to them from angels in the air 

The light that shone on Bethlehem fills all the world today 

Of Jesus’ birth and peace on earth the angels sing always 

  Scout 

O sing a song of Nazareth, of sunny days of joy 

O sing of fragrant flowers’ breath and of the sinless Boy 

For now the flow’rs of Nazareth in ev’ry heart may grow 

Now spreads the fame of His dear name on all the winds that blow 

  Bethany 

O sing a song of Galilee, of lake and woods and hill 

Of Him who walked upon the sea and bade its waves be still 

For though, like waves of Galilee, dark seas of trouble roll 

When faith has heard the Master’s word, falls peace upon the soul 

  Choir 

O sing a song of Calvary, its glory and dismay 

Of Him who hung upon the tree and took our sins away 

For He who died on Calvary is risen from the grave 

And Christ our Lord, by Heav’n adored, is mighty now to save
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, and heav’n and nature sing 

And heav’n, 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, 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, wonders of His love
