Call to Worship

Song: O Come O Come Emmanuel

O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice! Rejoice! Immanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel

O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan’s tyranny
From depths of hell Thy people save
And give them voctory o’ver the grave
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel

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

O come desire of nations bind
In one the hearts of all mankind
Bid us our sad divisions cease
And be thyself our king of peace
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel

Confession of Sin

Song: Create in Me a Clean Heart

Create in me a clean heart
And purify me, purify me
Create in me a clean heart
So that I may worship Thee

Cast me not away from Thy Presence
Please don’t take Your spirit from me
And restore the joy of salvation
So that I may worship Thee

Proclamation of God’s Grace

Song: Hark the Herald Angels 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 th'angelic hosts 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 Virgin's womb
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see
Hail th'incarnate Deity
Pleased with us in flesh to dwell
Jesus, our Emmanual
Hark! the herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King"

Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace
Hail the Sun 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 us from the earth
Born to give us second birth
Hark! the herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King"

Song: 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 Christians, fear, for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading
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

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh
Come peasant, king to own Him
The King of kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him
Raise, raise a song on high
The virgin sings her lullaby
Joy, joy for Christ is born
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

Song: O Come All Ye Faithful

O Come all ye faithful
Joyful and triumphant
O come ye O come ye to Bethlehem
Come and behold him
Born the King of angels

CHORUS

O come let us adore him
O come let us adore him
O come let us adore him
Christ the Lord

Sing choirs of angels
Sing in Exulttion
Sing all ye citizens of heaven above
”Glory to God, All Glory in the highest”

CHORUS

Yea Lord we greet thee
Born this happy morning
Jesus to thee be all glory giv’n
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing

CHORUS

Welcome
