4 SUNDAY, DECEMBER 17, GOOD CHRISTIAN MEN, REJOICE Good Christian men, rejoice with heart and soul and voice, give ye heed to what we say: News! News! Jesus Christ is born today! Man and beast before Him bow, and He is in the manger now, Christ is born today! Christ is born today! Good Christian men, rejoice with heart and soul and voice, now ye hear of endless bliss: Joy! Joy! Jesus Christ was born for this! He has opened heaven s door, and man is blessed forever more; Christ was born for this! Christ was born for this! Good Christian men, rejoice with heart and soul and voice, now ye need not fear the grave: Peace! Peace! Jesus Christ was born to save, Calls you one and calls you all to gain His everlasting hall, Christ was born to save! Christ was born to save! ANGELS FROM THE REALMS OF GLORY Angels from the realms of glory, wing your flight o'er all the earth; Ye who sang creation's story, now proclaim Messiah's birth: Come and worship, come and worship, worship Christ, the newborn King. Shepherds, in the fields abiding, watching o'er your flocks by night, God with man is now residing, yonder shines the infant Light: Come and worship, come and worship, worship Christ, the newborn King. Sages, leave your contemplations, brighter visions beam afar. Seek the great Desire of nations, Ye have seen His natal star: Come and worship, come and worship, worship Christ, the newborn King. Saints before the altar bending, watching long in hope and fear; Suddenly the Lord, descending, in His temple shall appear: Come and worship, come and worship, worship Christ, the newborn King.

5 2 THE FIRST NOEL The first Noel, the angels did say, was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay; In fields where they lay keeping their sheep, on a cold winter s night that was so deep. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel; Born is the King of Israel. For all to see there was a star shining in the east, beyond them far, and to the earth it gave great light, and so it continued both day and night. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel; Born is the King of Israel. Then entered in those wise men three, full rev rently upon their knee, and offered there in His presence their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel; Born is the King of Israel. Then let us all with one accord sing praises to our heav nly Lord that hath made heav n and earth of naught, and with His blood mankind hath bought. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel; Born is the King of Israel. ONE STILL NIGHT One still night, Mary awoke, stirred by an angel, she trembled as he spoke. One small Child would soon be born, the King of kings will wear a crown of thorns. Glory to God, the angels sang, Immanuel was born for you this day; Peace on earth, good will toward men, Immanuel has come to Bethlehem, Immanuel has come to Bethlehem. One still night, while Joseph dreamed, he saw an angel within his troubled sleep. One small Child, his bride would give, Deliverer delivered to save us from our sin. Glory to God, the angels sang, Immanuel was born for you this day; Peace on earth, good will toward men, Immanuel has come to Bethlehem, Immanuel has come to Bethlehem. (Bridge) And to His kingdom there ll be no end And to His kingdom there ll be no end And to His kingdom there ll be no end One still night, a light was shown that all the darkness could never overcome. Glory to God, the angels sang, Immanuel was born for you this day; Peace on earth, good will toward men, Immanuel has come to Bethlehem, Immanuel has come to Bethlehem.

6 3 HE WHO IS MIGHTY Oh, the mercy our God has shown to those who sit in death s shadow. The sun on high pierced the night; Born was the Cornerstone. Unto us a Son is given; Unto us a Child is born. He who is mighty has done a great thing: Taken on flesh, conquered death s sting, Shattered the darkness and lifted our shame. Holy is His Name. Holy is His Name. Oh, the freedom our Savior won. The yoke of sin has been broken! Once a slave, now by grace no more condemnation. Unto us a Son is given; Unto us a Child is born. Unto us a Son is given; Unto us a Child is born. He who is mighty has done a great thing: Taken on flesh, conquered death s sting, Shattered the darkness and lifted our shame. Holy is His Name. He who is mighty has done a great thing: Taken on flesh, conquered death s sting, Shattered the darkness and lifted our shame. Holy is His Name. Holy is His Name. Now my soul magnifies the Lord! I rejoice in the God who saves! I will trust His unfailing love! I will sing His praises all my days! Now my soul magnifies the Lord! I rejoice in the God who saves! I will trust His unfailing love! I will sing His praises all my days! He who is mighty has done a great thing: Taken on flesh, conquered death s sting, Shattered the darkness and lifted our shame. Holy is His Name. Holy is His Name. Now my soul magnifies the Lord! I rejoice in the God who saves! I will trust His unfailing love! I will sing His praises all my days! I will sing His praises all my days! I will sing His praises all my days!

7 CHOIR ANTHEM Peace Suite 4 There is a story that still makes the headlines after two thousand years. A merciful Savior who give up His own life; He s the reason I m here. So I won t be afraid, and I won t be dismayed. There is good news this Christmas; There is peace for ev ryone. There is good news this Christmas Jesus has come. I will join in the chorus with heaven and nature with a song that is new. There s a peace in my soul that holds me together because the story is true. So I won t be afraid, and I won t be dismayed.

Hail, the heav n-born Prince of Peace! Hail, the Sun 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. Hark! The herald angels sing, Glory to the newborn King! Gloria, glory in the highest, heaven s Mercy reaching out for me. What have I to fear? You will be my rescue. Jesus, You will be my Prince of Peace. Gloria, glory in the highest, heaven s Mercy reaching out for me. What have I to fear? You will be my rescue. Jesus, You will be my Prince of Peace.

Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning, Jesus, to Thee be all glory giv n; Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing! True God of true God, Light from Light eternal, Lo, He shuns not the virgin s womb; Son of the Father, begotten, not created;

9 6 OFFERTORY THE UNBELIEVABLE Come and see the inconceivable and believe the unbelievable: God has come to dwell with us. Begotten Son born into Adam s earth, Promised One fulfilling ancient words, God has come to dwell with us. Who could ever know the depths of the myst ry of Your grace? Though our minds can t take it in, Lord, our hearts are filled with praise. He will heal the unhealable, He will save the unsavable; God has come to dwell with us. Heaven s joy will drink our bitter cup, emptied out as He is lifted up; God has come to dwell with us. Who could ever know the depths of the myst ry of Your grace? Though our minds can t take it in, Lord, our hearts are filled with praise. Who could ever know the depths of the myst ry of Your grace?
