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.
2.
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 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 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.

about

Our hope with this simple EP is to introduce our church to some non-traditional Christmas hymns that we will be singing during this Advent season.
