O Holy Night
O HOLY NIGHT
(written by Adolph Adam)
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 heart rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
Oh, hear the angel voices
Oh, night divine
Oh, night when Christ was born
Oh, night divine
Oh, night when Christ was born
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 praise 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

Still, Still, Still
STILL, STILL, STILL
(words by Kenneth Cope
music: traditional Austrian carol)
Still, still, still comes the thrill of our Savior’s birth
Loved by the high and lowly in station
Reverenced in every language and nation
Still, still, still comes the thrill of our Savior’s birth
Peace, peace, peace—’tis the season of His peace
Love shows its face with God in a manger
Mercy’s embraced while hate’s made a stranger
Peace, peace, peace—’tis the season of His peace
Wake, nations wake—’tis the eve of our Lord’s return
Come from His throne to those who receive Him
Making on earth one long Christmas season
Wake, nations wake, and prepare for the Lord’s return

Welcome To Our World
WELCOME TO OUR WORLD
(written by Chris Rice)
Tears are falling, hearts are breaking
How we need to hear from God
You’ve been promised, we’ve been waiting
Welcome Holy Child
Welcome Holy Child
Hope that you don’t our manger
How I wish we would have known
But long-awaited Holy Stranger
Make Yourself at home
Please make Yourself at home
Bring Your peace into our violence
Bid our hungry souls be filled
Word now breaking Heaven’s silence
Welcome to our world
Welcome to our world
Fragile finger sent to heal us
Tender brow prepared for thorn
Tiny heart whose blood will save us
Unto us is born
Unto us is born
So wrap our injured flesh around You
Breathe our air and walk our sod
Rob our sin and make us holy
Perfect Son of God
Perfect Son of God
Welcome to our world
