In The Bleak Midwinter

Verse 1

In the bleak midwinterFrosty wind made moanEarth stood hard as ironWater like a stoneSnow had fallen snow on snowSnow on snowIn the bleak midwinterLong ago

Verse 2

Our God heav'n cannot hold HimNor earth sustainHeav'n and earth shall flee awayWhen He comes to reignIn the bleak midwinterA stable place sufficedThe Lord God AlmightyJesus Christ

Verse 3

Angels and archangelsMay have gathered thereCherubim and seraphimThronged the airBut His mother onlyIn her maiden blissWorshipped the BelovedWith a kiss

Verse 4

What can I give HimPoor as I amIf I were a shepherdI would bring a lambIf I were a wise manI would do my partYet what can I give HimGive my heart

The First Noel

Verse 1

The first Noel the angel did sayWas to certain poor shepherds in fields as they layIn fields where they lay keeping their sheepOn a cold winter's night that was so deep

Chorus

Noel Noel Noel NoelBorn is the King of Israel

Verse 2

They looked up and saw a starShining in the east beyond them farAnd to the earth it gave great lightAnd so it continued both day and night

Verse 3

And by the light of that same starThree wise men came from country farTo seek for a king was their intentAnd to follow the star wherever it went

Verse 4

This star drew nigh to the northwestO'er Bethlehem it took its restAnd there it did both stop and stayRight over the place where Jesus lay

Verse 5

Then entered in those wise men threeFull rev'rently upon the kneeAnd offered there in His presenceTheir gold and myrrh and frankincense

O Holy Night

Verse 1

O holy night the stars are brightly shiningIt is the night of the dear Savior's birthLong lay the world in sin and error piningTill He appeared and the soul felt its worthA thrill of hope the weary world rejoicesFor yonder breaks a new and glorious morn

Chorus 1

Fall on your kneesO hear the angel voicesO night divineO night when Christ was bornO night O holy nightO night divine

Verse 2

Led by the light of faith serenely beamingWith glowing hearts by His cradle we standSo led by light of a star sweetly gleamingHere came the wise men from Orient landThe King of kings lay thus in lowly mangerIn all our trials born to be our Friend

Chorus 2

He knows our needTo our weakness is no strangerBehold your KingBefore Him lowly bendBehold your KingBefore Him lowly bend

Verse 3

Truly He taught us to love one anotherHis law is love and His gospel is peaceChains shall He break for the slave is our brotherAnd in His name all oppression shall ceaseSweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise weLet all within us praise His holy name

Chorus 3

Christ is the LordO praise His name foreverHis power and gloryEvermore proclaimHis power and gloryEvermore proclaim

More Than The Watchman (Psalm 130)

Verse 1

Out of the depths Lord hear my cryI bow my head swallow my prideIf you should keep a record of wrongsLord who could standAll hope would be gone

Pre-Chorus

I wait for YouI trust in Your wordYou give us grace where none is deserved

Chorus

More than the watchman waits for the morningSo does my soul wait here for You LordI don't want to moveI don't want to speakNot 'til I know I've heard from Your wordAnd I'll wait all night with eyes wide openI'm not gonna sleep 'til I am whole'Til I am whole'Til I am whole('Til I am whole)Wholly Yours

Verse 2

All of my life is held in Your handsUnfailing love covers my sinYou will redeem You will restoreOut of Your grace forgiveness is poured
