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
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
