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! Trust and Obey When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word, What a glory He sheds on our way! While we do His good will, He abides with us still, and with all who will trust and obey. Chorus Trust and obey, for there s no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey. The Sacrament of the Lord s Supper Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share, But our toil He doth richly repay; not a grief nor a loss, Not a frown nor a cross, but is blest if we trust and obey. But we never can prove the delights of His love Until all on the altar we lay; for the favor He shows, For the joy He bestows, are for them who will trust and obey. Chorus Trust and obey, for there s no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey. Because He Lives Because He lives I can face tomorrow. Because He lives all fear is gone. Because I know He holds the future, And life is worth the living just because He lives. 6

7 WORSHIP SONGS AND HYMNS O Come, O Come, Emmanuel O come, O come, Emmanuel, and ransom captive Israel, That mourns in lonely exile here, until the Son of God appear. Chorus Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel! O come, Thou Dayspring, come and cheer our spirits by Thine advent here; Disperse the gloomy clouds of night, and death s dark shadows put to flight. O come, Thou Root of Jesse s tree, Salvation of Thy people be; Before thee rulers silent fall; all peoples on Thy mercy call. What Wondrous Love Is This What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul! What wondrous love is this, O my soul! What wondrous love is this that caused the Lord of bliss To bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul, To bear the dreadful curse for my soul? When I was sinking down, sinking down, sinking down, When I was sinking down, sinking down; When I was sinking down beneath God s righteous frown, Christ laid aside His crown for my soul, for my soul, Christ laid aside His crown for my soul. The Sacrament of the Lord s Supper To God and to the Lamb, I will sing, I will sing, To God and to the Lamb, I will sing; To God and to the Lamb who is the great I AM. While millions join the theme, I will sing, I will sing; While millions join the theme, I will sing. And when from death I m free, I ll sing on, I ll sing on, And when from death I m free, I ll sing on; And when from death I m free, I ll sing and joyful be, And through eternity, I ll sing on, I ll sing on, And through eternity I ll sing on. 7
