Hark the Herald
03:01
|
|||
VERSE 1
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!"
VERSE 2
Christ by highest heav'n adored, Christ the everlasting Lord!
Late in time behold Him come, offspring of a Virgin's womb
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!"
VERSE 3
Hail the heav'n-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!"

VERSE 1
O come, O come, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear.

O come Thou Wisdom from on high,
Who orders all things far and wide;
From depths of hell Thy people save,
And give them victory o'er the grave.
CHORUS
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel!
VERSE 3
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.
CHORUS
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel!
VERSE 4
O come Desire of nations, bind
In one the hearts of all mankind;
Bid Thou our sad divisions cease,
And be Thyself our King of Peace.

Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel!

A Cry in the Wilderness
05:14
|
|||
VERSE 1
Strangers and exiles, ashamed alone
Lost in shadows, banished from home
O God of mercy, in our distress
Hear our cry in the wilderness
VERSE 2
Oh night of weeping, behold the morn
A Savior comes, in exile born
A light in darkness, our God in flesh
Hear him cry in the wilderness
CHORUS
Hallelujah! God is with us
All those in darkness, arise and sing
Hallelujah! Our salvation
All creation, behold your King!
VERSE 3
Despised, rejected, cast out for me
The firstborn son cursed on a tree
O stricken Savior, my righteousness
Hear him cry in the wilderness
TAG
Now “it is finished!” he dies our death
He is our cry in the wilderness
Triumphant cry in the wilderness!
CHORUS
Hallelujah! God is with us
All those in darkness, arise and sing
Hallelujah! Our salvation
All creation, behold your King!
BRIDGE
Come now and join the cry
Of those who wait for Christ
Prepare the way for Him
Make straight the paths again
Each spring again will flow
And mountains leveled low
All men will finally see
The coming of our King

What Child Is This
05:19
|
|||
VERSE 1
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.
VERSE 2
Why lies He in such mean estate,
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Come, have no fear; the Son is here,
His love all loves exceeding.
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.
VERSE 3
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.
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.
VERSE 4
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh,
Come peasant, king to own Him;
The King of Kings salvation brings,
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
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.

VERSE 1
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains.
CHORUS
Glo-o-o-ria, in Excelsis Deo!
Glo-o-o-ria, in Excelsis Deo!
VERSE 2
Sheperds why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song?
VERSE 3
Come to Bethlehem and see
Christ whose birth the angels sing.
Come adore on bended knee
Christ our Lord the newborn King.
CHORUS
Glo-o-o-ria, in Excelsis Deo!
Glo-o-o-ria, in Excelsis Deo!
