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.
