Come and Stand Amazed

Come and Stand Amazed
Come and stand amazed, you people,
See how God is reconciled!
See his plans of love accomplished,
See his gift, this newborn child.
See the Mighty, weak and tender,
See the Word who now is mute.
See the Sovereign without splendor,
See the Fullness destitute;
See how humankind received him;
See him wrapped in swaddling bands,
Who as Lord of all creation
Rules the wind by his commands.
See him lying in a manger
Without sign of reasoning;
Word of God to flesh surrendered,
He is wisdom’s crown, our King.
O Lord Jesus, God incarnate,
Who assumed this humble form,
Counsel me and let my wishes
To your perfect will conform.
Light of life, dispel my darkness,
Let your frailty strengthen me;
Let your meekness give me boldness,
Let your burden set me free;
O Emmanuel, my Savior
Let your death be life for me.

Come Thou Long Expected Jesus
Come, thou long expected Jesus,
Born to set thy people free;
From our fears and sins release us,
Let us find our rest in thee.
Israel's strength and consolation,
Hope of all the earth thou art;
Dear desire of every nation,
Joy of every longing heart.
Born thy people to deliver,
Born a child and yet a King,
Born to reign in us forever,
Now thy gracious kingdom bring.
By thine own eternal spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By thine all sufficient merit,
Raise us to thy glorious throne.
Joy to the world, the Lord has come!
Let earth receive her King,
Let earth receive her King

Joy Has Dawned

Joy Has Dawned
Joy has dawned upon the world, Promised from creation
God's salvation now unfurled, Hope for every nation
Not with fanfares from above, Not with scenes of glory
But a humble gift of love, Jesus born of Mary
Sounds of wonder fill the sky, With the songs of angels
As the mighty Prince of Life, Shelters in a stable
Hands that set each star in place, Shaped the earth in darkness
Cling now to a mother's breast, Vulnerable and helpless
Shepherds bow before the Lamb, Gazing at the glory
Gifts of men from distant lands, Prophesy the story
Gold a King is born today, Incense God is with us
Myrrh His death will make a way, And by His blood He'll win us
Son of Adam Son of heaven, Given as a ransom
Reconciling God and man, Christ our mighty Champion!
What a Savior what a Friend, What a glorious mystery
Once a babe in Bethlehem, Now the Lord of history
Christ, a humble gift of love, Jesus born of Mary

O Come, O Come, Emmanuel
02:44

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 appears
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, Thou Day-Spring, 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, O come, Emmanuel
And take your church home, weak and pale.
We have no gifts, nor incense in hand,
But sing your praises, O Son of Man!
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
