Lyrics: A Child's Advent Prayer/Randolph Currie
Let us lift our voices as we wait the coming Lord;
Let us lift our voices now and offer up a song,
Come, Lord Jesus, come into our hearts;
Come, Lord Jesus, for you our spirits long.
There will be a new Messiah, born a child and yet a King;
He will bring us joy and gladness;
He will give us grace to sing;
Come, Lord Jesus, come into our hearts;
Come, Lord Jesus, make the darkness light.
Hope will have a new beginning and a bright new day!
Jesus, born of Mary, comes, as we prepare the way;
Come, Lord Jesus, come into our our hearts;
Come, Lord Jesus, be born in us today!
Lyrics: Christmas Time/Michael W. Smith/Joanna Carson
Ring Christmas bells, ring them loud with a message
Bringing peace on the earth, tiding of good cheer!
Come, carolers, come and join with the angels singing,
"Joy to the World!" Christmas time is here!
Children, gather around and listen
You'll hear the sound of angels filling the sky,
Telling everyone Christmas time is here!
Ring Christmas bells, ring them loud with a message
Bringing peace on the earth, tiding of good cheer!
Come, carolers, come and join with the angels singing,
"Joy to the World!" Christmas time is here!
Loved ones close to our hearts and strangers
In lands afar together sharing the joy
Emmanuel! Go tell the world! He has come to dwell!
The time is here! With one voice, let the world rejoice!
Ring Christmas bells, ring them loud with a message
Bringing peace on the earth, tiding of good cheer!
Come, carolers, come and join with the angels singing,
"Joy to the World!" Christmas time is here!
Gloria in excelsis Deo! Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Lyrics: Gesu Bambino/ Pietro Yon
1 When blossoms flowered 'mid the snow upon a winter night
was born the Child, the Christmas rose, the King of love and light.
The angels sang, the shepherds sang, the grateful earth rejoiced.
And at His blessed birth the stars their exulation voiced.
O come, let us adore Him, O come let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.
2 Again the heart with rapture glows and greet the holy night,
that gave the world its Christmas rose, its King of love and light.
Let ev'ry voice acclaim His name, the grateful chorus swell,
The grateful chorus swell. From paradise to earth He came
that we with Him might dwell, That we with Him might dwell.
O come, let us adore Him, O come let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.
Lyrics: Carol of the Stable/ Malcolm Archer
1 O light a candle as a sign that he is born our king divine
and in a stable bare you'll find this babe who comes to save mankind,
His mother Mary meek and mild, she sits and rocks the Holy Child,
the Lord of space and time is He, our Saviour, now in infancy.
2 Upon this freezing winter's night the shepherds see a wondrous sight,
a host of angels throng around, telling the news in glorious sound.
The shepherds rush to find this boy, whose radiance fills the world with joy,
amidst the creatures of the stall, before the child in homage fall.
3 And in the wonder of this night is born a babe of blessed light,
the joy of all the world is he, sent now to set all Christians free.
So praise with us this King of grace, whose love for all shines in His face,
and join with angel host above, to hail the birth of the Lord of love.
