Song Lyrics

Joy to the World!

Joy to the world!  The Lord is come

Let earth receive her King!

Let every heart prepare Him room,

And heav’n and nature sing,

And heav’n and nature sing,

And heav’n and heav’n and nature sing.

 

Joy to the earth! The Savior reigns;

Let men their songs employ;

While fields and floods

Rocks, hills and plains

Repeat the sounding joy

Repeat the sounding joy

Repeat, repeat the sounding joy

 

He rules 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, wonders of His love.

 

How Great Our Joy!

While by the sheep we watched at night,

Glad tidings brought an angel bright.

 

How great our joy!  Great our joy!

Joy!  Joy!  Joy!

Joy!  Joy!  Joy!

Praise we the Lord in heav’n on high!

Praise we the Lord in heav’n on high!

 

There shall be born, so he did say,

In Bethlehem a Child today.

 

There shall the Child lie in a stall,

This Child who shall redeem us all.

 

This gift of God we’ll cherish well,

That ever joy our hearts shall fill.

 

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, oh hear the angel voices!

O night divine, O night when Christ was born!

O night, O holy night, O night divine!

 

Truly He taught us to love on 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 power and glory evermore proclaim

His power and glory evermore proclaim

 

 From the Squalor of a Borrowed Stable (Immanuel)

From the squalor of a borrowed stable,
By the spirit and a virgin’s faith;
To the anguish and the shame of scandal
Came the Saviour of the human race!
But the skies were filled, with the praise of heav’n,
Shepherds listen as the angels tell
Of the Gift of God, come down to man
At the dawning of Immanuel

King of heaven now the Friend of sinners,
Humble servant in the Father’s hands,
Filled with power and the Holy Spirit,
Filled with mercy for the broken man
Yes he walked my road, and He felt my pain,
Joys and sorrows that I know so well;
Yet His righteous steps, give me hope again –
I will follow my Immanuel!

 

Through the kisses of a friend’s betrayal,
He was lifted on a cruel cross;
He was punished for a world’s transgressions,
He was suffering to save the lost
He fights for breath, He fights for me
Loosing sinners from the claims of hell;
And with a shout, our souls are free –
Death defeated by Immanuel!

Now He’s standing in the place of honour,
Crowned with glory on the highest throne,
Interceding for His own beloved
Till His Father calls us to bring them home!
Then the skies will part, as the trumpet sounds
Hope of heaven or the fear of hell;
But the Bride will run, to her Lover’s arms,
Giving glory to Immanuel!

 

Go Tell It on the Mountain

Go tell it on the mountain

Over the hills and everywhere

God tell it on the mountain

That Jesus Christ is born

 

While Shepherds kept their watching

O’er silent flocks by night

Behold, throughout the heavens

There shone a holy light

 

The shepherds feared and trembled

When, lo! above the earth

Rang out the angel chorus

That hailed our Savior’s birth

 

Down in a lowly manger

The humble Christ was born

And God sent us salvation

That blessed Christmas morn.
