  • 1 - 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- 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?
    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.
    This, this is Christ the King
    Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
    Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
    The Babe, the Son of Mary.
    
    Nails, spear, shall pierce Him through,
    The Cross be borne, for me, for you:
    Hail, hail, the Word made flesh,
    The Babe, the Son of Mary!
    This, this is Christ the King
    Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
    Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
    The Babe, the Son of Mary.
    
    So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh;
    Come peasant, king to own Him.
    The King of Kings salvation brings;
    Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
    This, this is Christ the King
    Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
    Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
    The Babe, the Son of Mary.
    
    Raise, raise, the song on high,
    The Virgin sings her lullaby:
    Joy joy for Christ is born,
    The Babe, the Son of Mary!
    This, this is Christ the King
    Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
    Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
    The Babe, the Son of Mary.
    	

    6 - Joy to the World

    Joy to the world! The Lord is come.
    Let earth receive her King
    Let every heart
    Prepare Him room
    And Saints and angels sing
    And Saints and angels sing
    And Saints and Saints and angels sing
    
    Joy to the world, the Saviour reigns
    Let Saints their songs employ
    While fields and floods
    rocks, hills and plains
    Repeat the sounding joy
    Repeat the sounding joy
    Repeat, Repeat, the sounding joy
    
    Joy to the world with truth and grace
    And makes the nations prove
    The glories of His righteousness
    And wonders of His love
    And wonders of His love
    And wonders and wonders of His love
    
    No more will sin and sorrow grow,
    Nor thorns infest the ground;
    He'll come and make the blessings flow
    Far as the curse was found,
    Far as the curse was found,
    Far as, far as the curse was found.
    
    He rules the world with truth and grace,
    And gives to nations proof
    The glories of His righteousness,
    And wonders of His love;
    And wonders of His love;
    And wonders, wonders of His love.
    
    Rejoice! Rejoice in the Most High,
    While Israel spreads abroad
    Like stars that glitter in the sky,
    And ever worship God,
    And ever worship God,
    And ever, and ever worship God.

    8 - 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!
    
    They looked up and saw 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!
    
    And by the light of that same star
    Three wise men came from country far,
    To seek for a King was their intent
    And to follow the star
    wherever it went.
    Noel Noel Noel Noel!
    Born is the King of Israel!
    
    This star drew nigh to the northwest
    Over Bethlehem it took its rest,
    And there it did both stop and stay
    Right over the place where Jesus lay.
    Noel Noel Noel Noel!
    Born is the King of Israel!
    
    Then did they know assuredly
    Within that house the King did lie:
    One entered in then for to see,
    And found the Babe in poverty:
    Noel Noel Noel Noel!
    Born is the King of Israel!
    
    Then entered in those wise men three
    Full reverently 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 heavenly Lord,
    That hath made heaven
    and earth of naught
    And with His blood
    mankind hath bought.
    Noel Noel Noel Noel!
    Born is the King of Israel!
    	

    9 - God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen

    God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen,
    Let nothing you dismay;
    Remember Christ, our Saviour,
    Was born on Christmas day,
    To save us all from Satan's power
    When we were gone astray.
    O tidings of comfort and joy,
    comfort and joy,
    O tidings of comfort and joy.
    
    In Bethlehem, in Jewry,
    This blessed Babe was born,
    And laid within a manger,
    Upon this blessed morn;
    That which His Mother Mary,
    Did nothing take in scorn.
    O tidings of comfort and joy,
    comfort and joy,
    O tidings of comfort and joy.
    
    From God our Heavenly Father,
    A blessed Angel came;
    And unto certain Shepherds
    Brought tidings of the same:
    How that in Bethlehem was born
    The Son of God by Name.
    O tidings of comfort and joy,
    comfort and joy,
    O tidings of comfort and joy.
    
    "Fear not," then said the Angel,
    "let nothing you affright,
    This day is born a Saviour
    Of pure Virgin bright,
    To free all those who trust in Him
    From Satan's power and might."
    O tidings of comfort and joy,
    comfort and joy,
    O tidings of comfort and joy.
    
    The shepherds at those tidings
    Rejoiced much in mind,
    And left their flocks a-feeding,
    In tempest, storm, and wind:
    And went to Bethlehem straightway,
    The Son of God to find.
    O tidings of comfort and joy,
    comfort and joy,
    O tidings of comfort and joy.
    
    And when they came to Bethlehem
    Where our dear Saviour lay,
    They found Him in a manger,
    Where oxen feed on hay;
    His Mother Mary kneeling down,
    Unto the Lord did pray.
    O tidings of comfort and joy,
    comfort and joy,
    O tidings of comfort and joy.
    
    Now to the Lord sing praises,
    All you within this place,
    And with true love and brotherhood
    Each other now embrace;
    This holy tide of Christmas
    All other doth deface.
    O tidings of comfort and joy,
    comfort and joy,
    O tidings of comfort and joy.
    	

    10 - Hark the Herald Angel 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 angelic host proclaim
    "Christ is born in Bethlehem!"
    Hark! the herald angels sing
    "Glory to the newborn King!"
    
    Christ, by highest heaven adored;
    Christ the everlasting Lord;
    Late in time behold Him come,
    Offspring of the favored one.
    Veiled in flesh, the Godhead see;
    hail the incarnate Deity
    Pleased as man with men to dwell,
    Jesus, our Emmanuel
    Hark! the herald angels sing,
    "Glory to the newborn King"
    
    Hail! the heaven-born Prince of Peace!
    Hail! the Son of Righteousness!
    Light and life to all He brings,
    risen 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"
    	

    11 - I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day

    	I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day
    Their old familiar carols play,
    And wild and sweet the words repeat
    Of peace on earth, good will to men.
    
    I thought how, as the day had come,
    The belfries of all Christendom
    Had rolled along the unbroken song
    Of peace on earth, good will to men.
    
    And in despair I bowed my head:
    "There is no peace on earth," I said,
    "For hate is strong and mocks the song
    Of peace on earth, good will to men."
    
    Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
    "God is not dead, nor doth he sleep;
    The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,
    With peace on earth, good will to men."
    
    Till, ringing singing, on its way,
    The world revolved from night to day,
    A voice, a chime, a chant sublime,
    Of peace on earth, good will to men!
    	

    12 - O Little Town of Bethlehem

    O little town of Bethlehem,
    How still we see thee lie.
    Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
    The silent stars go by;
    Yet in thy dark streets shineth
    The everlasting Light;
    The hopes and fears of all the years
    Are met in thee tonight.
    
    For Christ is born of Mary,
    And, gathered all above
    While mortals sleep, the angels keep
    Their watch of wondering love.
    O morning stars, together
    Proclaim the holy birth.
    And praises sing to God the King.
    And peace to men on earth.
    
    How silently, how silently
    The wondrous gift is given!
    So God imparts to human hearts
    The blessings of His heaven.
    No ear may hear His coming;
    But in this world of sin,
    Where meek souls will receive Him,
    still The dear Christ enters in.
    
    Where children, pure and happy,
    Pray to the Blessed Child;
    Where misery cries out to thee,
    Son of the Mother mild;
    Where charity stands watching,
    And faith holds wide the door,
    The dark night wakes, the glory breaks,
    and Christmas comes once more.
    
    O Holy Child of Bethlehem,
    Descend to us, we pray;
    Cast out our sin and enter in;
    Be born in us today!
    We hear the Christmas angels
    The great glad tidings tell;
    O come to us, abide with us,
    Our Lord Emmanuel!
    	

    13 - It Came Upon a Midnight Clear

    It came upon the midnight clear,
    That glorious song of old,
    From angels bending near the earth
    With news of joy foretold,
    "Peace on the earth, good will to men
    From heaven's all gracious King."
    The world in solemn stillness lay,
    To hear the angels sing.
    
    Still through the cloven skies they come,
    Love's banner all unfurled;
    And still their heavenly music floats
    Over all the weary world.
    Above its sad and lowly plains
    Old echoes plaintive ring,
    And ever over its Babel sounds
    The blessed angels sing.
    
    Yet with the woes of sin and strife
    The world has suffered long;
    Beneath the Angel-strain have rolled
    Two thousand years of wrong;
    And man at war with man hears not
    The love-song which they bring;
    O! hush the noise, ye men of strife,
    And hear the Angels sing.
    
    O ye, beneath life's crushing load
    Whose forms are bending low,
    Who toil along the climbing way
    With painful steps and slow;
    Look now! for glad and golden hours
    Come swiftly on the wing;
    O rest beside the weary road
    And hear the angels sing.
    
    For lo! the days are hastening on,
    By prophets seen of old,
    When with the ever-circling years
    Shall come the time foretold,
    When the new heaven and earth shall own
    The Prince of Peace their King,
    And the whole world send back the song
    Which now the angels sing.

    15 - O Holy Night

    O holy night,
    the stars are brightly shining;
    It is the night of
    our dear Savior's birth!
    Long lay the world
    in sin and error pining,
    Till He appeared
    and the soul felt its worth.
    A thrill of hope,
    the weary world rejoices,
    For yonder breaks
    a new and glorious morn.
    Fall on your knees,
    O hear the angel voices!
    O night divine,
    O night when Christ was born!
    O night divine, O night,
    O night divine!
    
    Led by the light of Faith
    serenely beaming,
    With glowing hearts
    by His cradle we stand.
    So led by light of a star
    sweetly gleaming,
    Here came the wise men
    from Orient land.
    The King of Kings lay thus
    in lowly manger,
    In all our trials
    born to be our Friend!
    He knows our need,
    To our weakness no stranger;
    Behold your King!
    Before the lowly bend!
    Behold your King! your King!
    before Him bend.
    
    Truly He taught us
    to love one another;
    His law is love and
    His gospel is peace.
    Chains shall He break
    for the slave is our brother
    And in His name
    all oppression shall cease.
    Sweet hymns of joy in
    grateful chorus raise we,
    Let all within us
    praise His holy name!
    Christ is the Lord,
    Oh praise His name forever,
    His pow'r and glory 
      evermore proclaim
    His pow'r and glory
    evermore proclaim.

  • Christmas Narrative / Luke 1

  • Last week: What is Love? -

    You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving
    From 'AllAboutGod' Website
    What is Love – Seasoned Feelings
    Ask any teenager or senior citizen, “What is love?” and their answers reflect a similar influence. Love involves feelings -- romanticized by music, literature, and media. We all yearn to recreate that intimacy based on what seems so ideal. Our deepest longings shape what defines love -- fervor (passionate), flawless (perfect), and fulfillment (joy).
    When we express love, we develop a strong emotional attachment, anticipating our love to be returned. What do I receive out of the relationship? What’s my level of contentment? Our feelings focus upon discovering that one individual who satisfies all our heart’s desires. Sadly, what nourished and warmed our love for one season often withers and grows cold. “The course of true love never did run smooth.”
    What is Love – The Cost of Giving
    What is love if not costly? Real love demands sacrifice that can’t be found in self-centeredness. You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving. Sacrificial love requires that we give what we value most: our hearts, minds, souls, and strength. Real love does not always follow our natural inclinations; it is not an impulse from feelings.
    Love can only be understood from the actions it prompts. When we bear with the failings and weaknesses of others, divine love reveals itself (Ephesians 4:2). At all costs, this love compels us to give so that we alleviate the suffering of others. Instead of seeking to fulfill our emotional and physical needs (receiving), we humbly give of ourselves (1 Peter 3:8–9).
    What is Love – God’s Nature
    In a response to, “What is Love?” it is erroneous to say “love is God.” God created love, not the reverse. He deliberately chose to express His love to us -- revealing the very nature of God Himself.
    God Is Sacrificial – God initiated an eternal love relationship with us before we loved Him (1 John 4:10).
    God Is Merciful – God extended the wealth of His kindness even when we were undeserving of His love (Ephesians 2:4-5).
    God Is Faithful – Even in the most extreme circumstances, God’s love for us remains secure (Romans 8:35, 38-39).
  • [final prayer]
    Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
    Psalms 19:14.
