6 WORSHIP SONGS AND HYMNS O Come, All Ye Faithful O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant; O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem! Come and behold Him, born the King of angels! Chorus O come, let us adore Him! O come, let us adore Him! O come, let us adore Him, Christ, the Lord! Sing, choirs of angels; sing in exultation; O sing, all ye bright hosts of heaven above! Glory to God, all glory in the highest! Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning; Jesus, to Thee be all glory given: Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing! 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? Chorus 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 ass are feeding? Good Christian, fear, for sinners here the silent Word is pleading. So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh; come, peasant, king to own Him. The King of kings salvation brings; let loving hearts enthrone Him. 6

7 WORSHIP SONGS AND HYMNS Amazing Grace/My Chains Are Gone Amazing grace! How sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me! I once was lost but now am found; was blind but now I see. T was grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved. How precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed. My chains are gone, I ve been set free. My God my Savior has ransomed me, And like a flood His mercy reigns; unending love, amazing grace. The Lord has promised good to me; His word my hope secures. He will my shield and portion be as long as life endures. When we ve been there ten thousand years, bright shining as the sun, We ve no less days to sing God s praise than when we first begun. My chains are gone I ve been set free. My God my Savior has ransomed me, And like a flood His mercy reigns; unending love, amazing grace. 7
