SONG LYRICS

CHRISTMAS MEDLEY

The First Noel, the angels did say

Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay

In fields where they lay keeping their sheep

On a cold winter’s night that was so deep


Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel


The King is born, the King is born, the King is born

Let angels adore Him, all bow before Him, the King is born


Oh come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant

Oh come ye, oh come ye to Bethlehem


Come and behold Him, born the King of angels


Oh come let us adore Him, oh come let us adore Him

Oh come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord


Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exaltation

Oh sing, all ye citizens of heaven above


Glory to God, glory in the highest


Oh come let us adore Him, oh come let us adore Him

Oh come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord


We adore You, we adore You, we adore You, Jesus

We adore You, we adore You, we adore You, Jesus

O HOLY NIGHT

O holy night The stars are brightly shining
It  is  the night, of the 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, can't you hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night divine

Truly He taught us to love one 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 with - in 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

Fall on your knees
Oh hear, can't you hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night divine

CHRISTMAS HYMNS

O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
the silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
the everlasting Light
The hopes and fears of all the years
are met in thee tonight

Away in a manger no crib for a bed
the little Lord Jesus lay down
His sweet head
The stars in the sky look down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay

Hark the herald angels sing
glory to the newborn king
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinner 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 new-born King

Joy to the world!
The Lord is come,
Let earth receive her King    
Let every heart prepare Him room
and heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
let heaven and heaven and nature sing

The hopes and fears of all the years
are met in thee tonight

HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
let your heart be light
From now on
your troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
make the Yuletide gay
From now on
your troubles will be miles away

Here we are as in olden days
happy golden days of  yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
gather near to us once more

Through the years we all will be together
If the Lord allows
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough

So have yourself
a merry little Christmas
Have yourself
a merry little Christmas

So have yourself
a merry little Christmas now

Tree Lighting Message Notes

Jesus Came to be our High Priest

When they saw the star, they were overjoyed.  On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.
Matthew 2:9b-11 (NIV)


WHAT THE HIGH PRIEST DID: Represent us to God

WHAT JESUS CAME TO DO: Reconcile us to God

Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself.
Hebrews 7:27 (NIV)

Because Jesus came. Because He is our Great High Priest, you now have full access to God.
