Oh for Joy
03:13
|

Long have we waited, Long have we waited, long have we waited for you
Creation is groaning for love’s great atoning is due
By thy great mercy, by thy great mercy, by thy great mercy you give
Hope for all children, mercy and new life to live
Oh, oh for joy
That Jesus is born
Come and see him
Come and receive him
This blessed, holy morn
The earth in stillness, the earth in stillness, the earth in stillness and peace
The night calm and bright and so our strivings cease
We thank you for rescue, thank you for rescue thank you for rescue through Grace
The law fully met, he has secured our place
Arise, arise the dawn has come
The dark drowned out because of love

Hark! A thrilling voice is sounding!
"Christ is near," we hear it say.
"Cast away the works of darkness,
All you children of the day!"
Startled at the solemn warning,
Let the earthbound soul arise;
Christ, its sun, all sloth dispelling,
Shines upon the morning skies.
See, the Lamb, so long expected,
See the everlasting light
Full of grace the Lord is with us
We will hope in Him tonight
So, when next he comes in glory
And the world is wrapped in fear,
He will shield us with his mercy
And with words of love draw near.
Honor, glory, might, dominion
To the Father and the Son
With the everliving Spirit
While eternal ages run!

New Song
04:16
|

Hope came down from above
Full of grace, full of love
He came to save, to right all the wrong
It’s time we sing a new song
All sinners to rejoice
Lift your hands, lift your voice
He came to dwell, to make us belong
It’s time we sing a new song
It’s time we sing a new song
Christ has come, Christ has come
Ring those bells, beat that drum
Joy to the world, his plan all along
It’s time we sing a new song
It’s time we sing a new song
Perfect peace he did bring
Our true and lowly king
He gave his life, the weak become strong
It’s time we sing a new song
It’s time we sing a new song

Immanuel
05:22
|
|||
Oh love that brings us to our knees
With grace that brings eternal peace
The Son of man did condescend
With healing hands this world to mend
For stain and filth is our torment
But beautiful is His advent
The lowly babe for mortals’ sake
Will satisfy creation’s ache
Immanuel, the hope our hearts have waited for, have waited for
The Prince of Peace, the Savior King, forevermore, forevermore
The light into the darkness shine
An eastern star displays the sign
A manger seats the human form
Of God who by His grace was born
So sing until your lungs are spent
Concede your will to joy’s consent
His birth will end our earthly strife
His death will bring the saints to life
The angels sing, the Lord has come
Our voices ring, the Lord has come
|

Rejoice in Christ
00:45
|
|||
The light shines forth on Christmas day
His birth reveals the final say
The curse restrained and darkness bound
Rejoice in Christ our life is found
Rejoice in Christ our life is found
