4 SUNDAY, DECEMBER 3, "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 th'angelic host 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." 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." ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH Angels we have heard on high, sweetly singing o'er the plains, and the mountains in reply echo back their joyous strains. Gloria in excelsis Deo, Gloria in excelsis Deo. See within a manger laid, Jesus, Lord of heaven and earth! Mary, Joseph, lend your aid, with us sing our Savior s birth. Gloria in excelsis Deo, Gloria in excelsis Deo.

5 2 GO, TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN Go, tell it on the mountain, over the hills and ev rywhere; While shepherds kept their watching o'er silent flocks by night, behold, throughout the heavens there shone a holy light. Go, tell it on the mountain, over the hills and ev rywhere; The shepherds feared and trembled when, lo! above the earth rang out the angel chorus that hailed the Savior s birth. Go, tell it on the mountain, over the hills and ev rywhere; Down in a lowly manger, the humble Christ was born, and God sent us salvation that blessed Christmas morn. Go, tell it on the mountain, over the hills and ev rywhere; GOD MADE LOW Prophets promised long ago a King would come to bring us hope. And now a virgin bears a son: The time to save the world has come. Humble shepherds run in haste to see the One the angels praised. In cattle stall they find a girl who holds the Hope of all the world. Emmanuel has come to us. The Christ is born, Hallelujah! Our God made low to raise us up: Emmanuel has come to us. As He sleeps upon the hay, He holds the moon and stars in place. Though born an infant He remains the sovereign God of endless days. Emmanuel has come to us. The Christ is born, Hallelujah! Our God made low to raise us up: Emmanuel has come to us. For all our sins one day He ll die, to make us sons of God on high. Let every heart prepare Him room: The promises have all come true. Emmanuel has come to us. The Christ is born, Hallelujah! Our God made low to raise us up: Emmanuel has come to us.

6 ANGELS FROM THE REALMS OF GLORY 3 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. CHOIR ANTHEM HOW GLAD THE HEART How glad the heart that hears the song of angels: To you is born the long-awaited Son. Oh, leave the cold to find a lowly stable. Come be made warm by His redeeming love. How glad the heart that bows before the Savior. The manger holds the greatest Gift of all. How glad the heart that lays down ev ry treasure, surrenders all to crown Him King of kings. With open arms, come take in all the wonder. With open hands, come ready to receive. How glad the heart that worships in His presence, the greatest joy to give Him ev rything. How glad the heart that follows to the garden where Jesus prays: Father, Thy will be done. Behold the cross, the nails, the crown, the anguish, the precious Lamb now sacrificed for us. How glad the heart, the work of grace is finished. Hallelujah! The victory is won! How great our joy, joy, joy, joy, joy, joy! How glad the heart that knows the King is risen, for day has dawned, the stone has rolled away. How glad the song of those who are forgiven. Jesus is Lord! He ll come again one day. How glad the heart that knows it has forever to sing His praise and bless His holy name. We ll sing Your praise and bless Your holy name. We ll sing Your praise and bless Your holy name. We bless Your holy name! We bless Your holy name!

7 O COME, ALL YE FAITHFUL 4 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. 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 heav n above. Glory to God, all glory in the highest! O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord! INVITATION WHO IS HE IN YONDER STALL Who is He in yonder stall, at whose feet the shepherds fall? Who is He in deep distress, fasting in the wilderness? Tis the Lord! O wondrous story! Tis the Lord! The King of glory! Who is He the people bless for His words of gentleness? Who is He to whom they bring all the sick and sorrowing? Tis the Lord! O wondrous story! Tis the Lord! The King of glory! Who is He that stands and weeps at the grave where Lazarus sleeps? Who is He the gath ring throng greet with loud triumphant song? Tis the Lord! O wondrous story! Tis the Lord! The King of glory! Lo! at midnight, who is He prays in dark Gethsemane? Who is He on yonder tree dies in grief and agony? Tis the Lord! O wondrous story! Tis the Lord! The King of glory! Who is He that from the grave comes to heal and help and save? Who is He that from His throne rules through all the world alone? Tis the Lord! O wondrous story! Tis the Lord! The King of glory!

8 OFFERTORY ONE STILL NIGHT 5 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. Chorus) 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. BENEDICTION GO, TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN Go, tell it on the mountain, over the hills and ev rywhere;
