  • 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 the incarnate Deity,
    Pleased, with us, in flesh to dwell,
    Jesus, our Emmanuel.
    Hark! the herald angels sing,
    “Glory to the newborn King.”

    King of heaven come down
    King of heaven come now
    Let Your glory reign
    Shining like the day
    King of heaven come
    King of heaven rise up
    Who can stand against us?
    You are strong to save in Your mighty name
    King of heaven come

    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 we no more may die,
    Born to raise children of earth,
    Born to give them second birth.

    Hark! the herald angels sing,
    “Glory to the newborn King.”

    King of heaven come
    King of heaven come
    King of heaven come
    King of heaven come

  • It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old
    From angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold
    “Peace on the earth, good will to all, from heav’n’s all-gracious King”
    The world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing

    Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

    Still thru the cloven skies they come with peaceful wings unfurled
    And still their heav’nly music floats o’er all the weary world
    Above its sad and lowly plains they bend on hov’ring wing
    And ever o’er its Babel sounds the blessed angels sing

    Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

    And 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

    Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

    For lo, the days are hast’ning on, by prophets seen of old
    When with the ever circling years shall come the time foretold
    When the new heav’n and earth shall own the Prince of Peace their King
    And the whole world sends back the song which now the angels sing

    Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

  • Peace to You

  • Leader:

    God-with-us, who makes all things new, Your light shines in the darkness.

    People:

    Give us ears to hear and eyes to watch, That we may know your presence in our midst.

  • Light of the World, Treasure of Heaven
    Brilliant like the stars in the wintery sky
    Joy of the Father, reach through the darkness
    Shine across the earth, send the shadows to flight

    Light of the World from the beginning
    The tragedies of time were no match for Your love
    From great heights of glory You saw my story
    God You entered in and became one of us

    Sing hallelujah
    Sing hallelujah
    Sing hallelujah for the things He has done
    Come and adore Him
    Bow down before Him
    Sing hallelujah to the Light of the World

    Light of the world crown in a manger
    Born for the cross to suffer to save
    High King of Heaven death is the poorer
    We are the richer by the price that He paid

    Sing hallelujah
    Sing hallelujah
    Sing hallelujah for the things He has done
    Come and adore Him
    Bow down before Him
    Sing hallelujah to the Light of the World

    Light of the World soon will be coming
    With love in His eyes He will ransom His own
    Through clouds He will lead us straight into glory
    And here He shall reign forevermore

    Sing hallelujah
    Sing hallelujah
    Sing hallelujah for the things He has done
    Come and adore Him
    Bow down before Him
    Sing hallelujah to the Light of the World

  • How can it be, this babe in the straw
    Is saviour to me? Is saviour to all?
    A little child has come to save the world
    A virgin conceives, redemption’s begun
    And wrapped in our flesh is God’s Chosen One
    This little child is born to be our King

    Open my eyes, reveal to me
    This mystery, this majesty

    One tiny babe, a bright shining star,
    The Heavenly hosts sing “Hallelujah”
    Now is the time to celebrate our King!
    Joy to the world, our God has drawn near
    He’s come to bring peace, to cast out all fear.
    All faith, all hope, all love comes from this child

    Open my eyes, reveal to me
    This mystery, this majesty

    Unworthy as I am I come to You again
    To bring my worship to this King
    And worthy as You are, may Bethlehem’s bright star
    Lead all the world to praise this King
    I believe

    All human thought, all wisdom on earth
    Cannot comprehend Your Son’s humble birth;
    How love for us brought low to us Your Son
    Older than sin, yet new with the dawn
    This story of grace, the love of Your Son,
    Revealed to us, made real to us who You are

    Open my eyes, reveal to me
    This mystery, this majesty

    Unworthy as I am I come to You again
    To bring my worship to this King
    And worthy as You are, may Bethlehem’s bright star
    Lead all the world to praise this King
    I believe

    Unworthy as I am I come to You again
    To bring my worship to this King
    And worthy as You are, may Bethlehem’s bright star
    Lead all the world to praise this King
    I believe
