Come, Thou Almighty King 1 Come, Thou Almighty King, Help us Thy name to sing, Help us to praise: Father, all glorious, O'er all victorious, Come, and reign over us, Ancient of Days. 2 Come, Thou Incarnate Word, Gird on Thy mighty sword, Our prayer attend! Come, and Thy people bless, And give Thy word success: Spirit of holiness, On us descend. 3 Come, Holy Comforter, Thy sacred witness bear In this glad hour! Thou, who almighty art, Now rule in ev'ry heart And ne'er from us depart, Spirit of pow'r. 4 To Thee, great One in Three, The highest praises be, Hence evermore; Thy sov'reign majesty May we in glory see, And to eternity Love and adore. Leaning on the Everlasting Arms 1 What a fellowship, what a joy divine, Leaning on the everlasting arms; What a blessedness, what a peace is mine, Leaning on the everlasting arms. Refrain: Leaning, leaning, Safe and secure from all alarms; Leaning, leaning, Leaning on the everlasting arms. 2 Oh, how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way, Leaning on the everlasting arms; Oh, how bright the path grows from day to day, Leaning on the everlasting arms. 3 What have I to dread, what have I to fear, Leaning on the everlasting arms? I have blessed peace with my Lord so near, Leaning on the everlasting arms. Jesus, Lover of My Soul 1 Jesus, lover of my soul, let me to Thy bosom fly, while the nearer waters roll, while the tempest still is high: hide me, O my Savior, hide, till the storm of life is past; safe into the haven guide, O receive my soul at last! 2 Other refuge have I none, hangs my helpless soul on Thee; leave, ah! leave me not alone, still support and comfort me! All my trust on Thee is stayed, all my help from Thee I bring; cover my defenseless head with the shadow of Thy wing. 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want; more than all in Thee I find: raise the fallen, cheer the faint, heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is Thy name, I am all unrighteousness; false and full of sin I am, Thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with Thee is found, grace to cover all my sin; let the healing streams abound; make and keep me pure within: Thou of life the Fountain art, freely let me take of Thee, spring Thou up within my heart, rise to all eternity. We Will Glorify 1 We will glorify the King of Kings, We will glorify the Lamb! We will glorify the Lord of Lords, Who is the great I AM! 2 Lord Jehovah reigns in majesty, We will bow before His throne! We will worship Him in righteousness, We will worship Him alone! 3 He is Lord of heaven, Lord of earth, He is Lord of all who live! He is Lord above the universe, All praise to Him we give! 4 Hallelujah to the King of Kings, Hallelujah to the Lamb! Hallelujah to the Lord of Lords Who is the great I AM! Complete in Thee 1 Complete in Thee! No work of mine May take, dear Lord, the place of Thine; Thy blood hath pardon bought for me, And I am now complete in Thee. Refrain: Yea, justified! O blessed thought! And sanctified! Salvation wrought! Thy blood hath pardon bought for me, And glorified, I too, shall be! 2 Complete in Thee! I die to sin, Thy grace hath conquered, reign within; Thy voice shall bid the tempter flee, And I shall stand, complete in Thee. 3 Complete in Thee! Each need supplied, And no good thing to me denied; Since Thou my portion, Lord, will be, I ask no more, complete in Thee. 4 Dear Savior! When before Thy bar All tribes and tongues assembled are, Among Thy chosen will I be, At Thy right hand, complete in Thee. Standing on the Promises 1 Standing on the promises of Christ my King, Thro' eternal ages let His praises ring; Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing, Standing on the promises of God. Refrain: Standing, standing, Standing on the promises of God my Savior; Standing, standing, I'm standing on the promises of God. Announcements Pastor Shannon Whisenhunt

Thou rising morn, in praise rejoice, Ye lights of evening, find a voice! O praise Him, O praise Him! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! 3 And all ye men of tender heart, Forgiving others, take your part, O sing ye! Alleluia! Ye who long pain and sorrow bear, Praise God and on Him cast your care! O praise Him, O praise Him!

Praise, praise the Father, praise the Son, And praise the Spirit, Three in One! O praise Him, O praise Him! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! How Great Our Joy! 1 While by the sheep we watched at night, Glad tidings brought an angel bright. Refrain: How great our joy! Great our joy! Joy, joy, joy! Joy, joy, joy! Praise we the Lord in heaven on high! Praise we the Lord in heaven on high! 2 There shall be born, so he did say, In Bethlehem a Child today. 3 There shall the Child lie in a stall, This Child who shall redeem us all. 4 This gift of God we'll cherish well, That ever joy our hearts shall fill. Love divine, all Loves Excelling 1 Love divine, all loves excelling, Joy of heaven, to earth come down; Fix in us Thy humble dwelling; All Thy faithful mercies crown. Jesus, Thou art all compassion, Pure, unbounded love Thou art; Visit us with Thy salvation; Enter ev'ry trembling heart. 2 Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit Into ev'ry troubled breast! Let us all in Thee inherit, Let us find the promised rest. Take away our love to sinning; Alpha and Omega be; End of faith, as its beginning, Set our hearts at liberty. 3 Come, Almighty to deliver, Let us all Thy grace receive; Suddenly return, and never, Nevermore Thy temples leave. Thee we would be always blessing, Serve Thee as Thy hosts above, Pray, and praise Thee without ceasing, Glory in Thy perfect love. 4 Finish, then, Thy new creation; Pure and spotless let us be; Let us see Thy great salvation Perfectly restored in Thee: Changed from glory into glory, Till in heaven we take our place, Till we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love and praise. Grace Greater Than Our Sin 1 Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace, Freely bestowed on all who believe! You that are longing to see His face, Will you this moment His grace receive? Refrain: Grace, grace, God’s grace, Grace that will pardon and cleanse within; Grace, grace, God’s grace, Grace that is greater than all our sin. Come Behold the Wondrous Mystery 1 Come behold the wondrous mystery in the dawning of the King. He the theme of heaven’s praises robed in frail humanity. In our longing, in our darkness now the light of life has come. Look to Christ, who condescended took on flesh to ransom us 2 Come behold the wondrous mystery He the perfect Son of Man. In His living, in His suffering never trace nor stain of sin. See the true and better Adam come to save the hell-bound man. Christ the great and sure fulfillment of the law; in Him we stand. 3 Come behold the wondrous mystery Christ the Lord upon the tree. In the stead of ruined sinners hangs the Lamb in victory. See the price of our redemption; see the Father’s plan unfold. Bringing many sons to glory grace unmeasured, love untold. 4 Come behold the wondrous mystery; slain by death the God of life. But no grave could e’er restrain Him; praise the Lord; He is alive! What a foretaste of deliverance; how unwavering our hope. Christ in power resurrected as we will be when he comes. Great Is thy Faithfulness 1 Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father; there is no shadow of turning with Thee; Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not; as Thou hast been, Thou forever wilt be. Refrain: Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness! Morning by morning new mercies I see; all I have needed Thy hand hath provided: great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me! 2 Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest; sun, moon, and stars in their courses above join with all nature in manifold witness to Thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love. 3 Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth, Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide; strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow: blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

Adoration
Great Shepherd Who Leads Great Shepherd who leads all Your people in love, where angels are dwelling, You reign from above. In might come redeem us, Your people restore, and we shall be saved when Your face shines once more. Make haste, Lord, to hear us and pity our woes, affliction our portion, despised by our foes. O Lord God Almighty, in mercy restore, and we shall be saved when Your face shines once more. A place for Your people Your hand has prepared; Your vine, deeply rooted, bore fruit in Your care. Its branches like cedars, majestic and free, spread over the mountains from river to sea. Your vineyard lies barren, no shelter it knows; defenseless, the victim and spoil of her foes. Return, Lord, we pray; in Your mercy, restore the vine that is trampled to blossom once more. When You have revived us, Your name we will praise, and follow, unfailing, to walk in Your ways. O Lord God Almighty, in mercy restore, and we shall be saved when Your face shines once more. Go, Tell It On the Mountain Refrain: Go, tell it on the mountain, Over the hills and everywhere; Go, tell it on the mountain That Jesus Christ is born 1 While shepherds kept their watching O'er silent flocks by night, Behold throughout the heavens There shone a holy light. 2 The shepherds feared and trembled When lo! above the earth Rang out the angel chorus That hailed our Savior's birth. 3 Down in a lowly manger The humble Christ was born, And God sent us salvation That blessed Christmas morn. O Little Town of Bethlehem 1 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. 2 For Christ is born of Mary, And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wond'ring love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth, And praises sing to God the King, And peace to men on earth! 3 How silently, how silently The wondrous gift is giv'n! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heav'n. No ear may hear His coming, But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him, still The dear Christ enters in. 4 O holy Child of Bethlehem! Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin, and enter in, Be born in us today! We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord, Immanuel! The first Noel 3 And by the light of that same star The wise men came from country far; To seek for a king was their intent, And to follow the star wherever it went. Chorus: Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel. 4 Then let us all with one accord Sing praises to our heavenly Lord Who hath made heaven and earth of naught, And with His blood mankind hath bought. Who Is He in Yonder Stall? 1 Who is He in yonder stall, At whose feet the shepherds fall? Who is He in deep distress, Fasting in the wilderness? 'Tis the Lord! O wondrous story! 'Tis the Lord! the King of glory! At His feet we humbly fall, Crown Him! crown Him Lord of all! 2 Who is he the people bless For His words of gentleness? Who is he to whom they bring all the sick and sorrowing? 3 Who is He that stands and weeps At the grave where Laz'rus sleeps? Who is He the gath'ring throng Greet with loud triumphant song? 4 Lo! at midnight, who is He Prays in dark Gethsemane? Who is he on yonder tree, Dies in grief and agony? 5 Who is he that from the grave Comes to heal and help and save? Who is he that from His throne Rules thro' all the world alone? Hark! the Herald Angels Sing 1 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 the angelic hosts proclaim, “Christ is born in Bethlehem!” Refrain: Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!” 2 Christ by highest heav'n adored, Christ, the everlasting Lord, late in time behold Him come, offspring of the virgin's womb. Veiled in flesh the Godhead see; hail the incarnate Deity, pleased as man with men to dwell, Jesus our Emmanuel. 3 Hail the heav'n-born Prince of Peace! Hail the Sun of Righteousness! Light and life to all He brings, ris'n with healing in His wings. Mild He lays His glory by, born that man no more may die, born to raise the sons of earth, born to give them second birth. 4 Come, Desire of nations, come, fix in us Thy humble home; rise, the woman's conqu'ring Seed, bruise in us the serpent's head. Adam's likeness now efface, stamp Thine image in its place; Second Adam from above, reinstate us in Thy love. Announcements Pastor Matt Jackson

Adoration
Jesus shall Reign 1 Jesus shall reign where'er the sun Does its successive journeys run; His kingdom spread from shore to shore, Till moons shall wax and wane no more. 2 To Him shall endless pray'r be made, And endless praises crown His head; His name like sweet perfume shall rise With ev'ry morning sacrifice. 3 People and realms of ev'ry tongue Dwell on His love with sweetest song, And infant voices shall proclaim Their early blessings on His name. 4 Let ev'ry creature rise and bring Honor and glory to our King; Angels descend with songs again, And earth repeat the loud “Amen”! Angels, from the Realms of Glory 1 Angels, from the realms of glory, Wing your flight o'er all the earth; Ye who sang creation's story, Now proclaim Messiah's birth: Come and worship, come and worship, Worship Christ, the new-born King! 2 Shepherds, in the field abiding, Watching o'er your flocks by night, God with man is now residing, Yonder shines the infant Light: Come and worship, come and worship, Worship Christ, the new-born King! 3 Sages, leave your contemplations, Brighter visions beam afar; Seek the great Desire of nations, Ye have seen the Infant's star: Come and worship, come and worship, Worship Christ, the new-born King! 4 Though an Infant now we view Him, He shall fill His Father’s throne, Gather all the nations to Him; Every knee shall then bow down: Come and worship, come and worship, Worship Christ, the new-born King! I Wonder As I Wander 1 I wonder as I wander, out under the sky, How Jesus the Savior did come for to die For poor ordinary people like you and like I; I wonder as I wander, out under the sky. 2 When Mary birthed Jesus, 'twas in a cow's stall With wise men and farmers and shepherd and all. But high from God's heaven a star's light did fall, And the promise of ages it did then recall. 3 If Jesus had wanted for any wee thing, A star in the sky, or a bird on the wing, Or all of God's angels in heaven for to sing, He surely could have it, 'cause he was the King. 4 I wonder as I wander, out under the sky, How Jesus the Savior did come for to die For poor ordinary people like you and like I; I wonder as I wander, out under the sky. More Love to Thee, O Christ More love to Thee, O Christ, More love to Thee! Hear Thou the prayer I make On bended knee; This is my earnest plea: More love, O Christ, to Thee, More love to Thee, More love to Thee! His Mercy Is More 1 What love could remember, no wrongs we have done Omniscient, all-knowing, He counts not their sum Thrown into a sea without bottom or shore Our sins they are many, His mercy is more. Chorus: Praise the Lord! His mercy is more. Stronger than darkness, new every morn’; Our sins they are many, His mercy is more. 2 What patience would wait as we constantly roam What Father so tender is calling us home He welcomes the weakest, the vilest, the poor Our sins they are many, His mercy is more. 3 What riches of kindness He lavished on us His blood was the payment His life was the cost We stood ‘neath a debt we could never afford Our sins they are many, His mercy is more. There Is Power in the Blood 3 Would you be whiter, much whiter than snow? There's pow'r in the blood, pow'r in the blood; Sin stains are lost in its life-giving flow; There's wonderful pow'r in the blood. Refrain: There is pow'r, pow'r, Wonder-working pow'r In the blood of the Lamb; There is pow'r, pow'r, Wonder-working pow'r In the precious blood of the Lamb. |
