A GOSPEL CHRISTMAS

LYRICS

Amazing Grace

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound,

That saved a wretch like me!

I once was lost, but now am found,

Was blind, but now I see.

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,

And grace my fears relieved.

How precious did that grace appear,

The hour I first believed!

My chains are gone, I've been set free

My God, my Saviour has ransomed me

And like a flood His mercy rains

Unending love, Amazing grace

Through many dangers, toils and snares,

I have already come.

'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,

And grace will lead me home.

CHORUS

The Lord has promised good to me

His word my hope secures

He will my shield and portion be

As long as life endures

When we've been there ten thousand years,

Bright shining as the sun,

We've no less days to sing God's praise

Than when we'd first begun.

CHORUS

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 appear

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to thee, O Israel

O come, Thou Dayspring, come and cheer

Our spirits by Thine advent here

Disperse the gloomy clouds of night

And death's dark shadows put to flight

CHORUS

O come, Thou Key of David, come,

And open wide our heavenly home;

Make safe the way that leads on high,

And close the path to misery

Angels We Have Heard On High

Angels we have heard on high

Sweetly singing o'er the plains

And the mountains in reply

Echoing their joyous strains

Gloria, In excelsis deo!

Shepherds, why this jubilee?

Why your joyous strains prolong?

What the gladsome tidings be

Which inspire your heavenly songs?

Gloria, In excelsis deo!

Come to Bethlehem and see

Him whose birth the angels sing

Come, adore on bended knee

Christ the Lord, the newborn King

Gloria, In excelsis deo!

Alpha and Omega

You are Alpha and Omega, We worship you our Lord

You are worthy to be praised

We give you all the glory, We worship you our Lord

You are worthy to be praised

O Holy Night

O holy night, the stars are brightly shining

It is the night of our dear Saviour's birth

Long lay the world in sin and error pining

’Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth

A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices

For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn

Fall on your knees, O hear the angels voices

O night divine O night when Christ was born

O night divine, O night when Christ was born

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,

With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.

So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,

Here came the wise men from Orient land.

The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger;

In all our trials born to be our friend

He knows our need, to our weakness is no

stranger, Behold your King! Before Him lowly bend!

Behold your King! Before Him lowly bend!

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 joy 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

O Come All Ye Faithful

O come, all ye faithful, Joyful and triumphant

O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem!

Come and behold Him, Born the King of angels

O come let us adore Him, O come let us adore Him

We'll praise your name forever, Christ the Lord

Oh Happy Day

Oh happy day, Oh happy day

When Jesus washed, when Jesus washed,

When Jesus washed, He washed my sins away

Oh happy day, Oh Happy Day

He taught me how to watch, fight and pray, Fight and pray

And live rejoicing ev’ry every day, ev’ry day

Oh happy day, Oh happy day

Oh happy day, Oh happy day

Joy To The World

Joy to the world the Lord is come, let earth receive her King

Let every heart prepare Him room

And heaven and nature sing, and heaven and nature sing

And heaven and heaven and nature sing

Joy to the world the Saviour reigns, Let men their songs employ

While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains

Repeat the sounding joy, repeat the sounding joy

Repeat, repeat the sounding joy

He rules the world with truth and grace and makes the nations prove

The glories of His righteousness

And wonders of His love, and wonders of His love

And wonders, wonders of His love

Joy to the world (Joy to the world)

Shackles

In the corners of mind I just can't seem to find a reason to believe that I can break free, 'Cause you see I have been down for so long, feel like all hope is gone. But as I lift my hands, I understand that I should praise You through my circumstance

Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance

I just wanna praise you, I just wanna praise you

You broke the chains now I can lift my hands

And I'm gonna praise you, I'm gonna praise you

Everything that could go wrong all went wrong at one time.

So much pressure fell on me I thought I was gonna lose my mind

But I know you wanna see if I will hold on through these trials,

But I need you to lift this load 'Cause I can't take it no more

Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance

I just wanna praise you, I just wanna praise you

You broke the chains now I can lift my hands

And I'm gonna praise you, I'm gonna praise you

Been through the fire and the rain, bound in every kind of way, But God has broken every chain, So let me go right now

You’re so good, so good, so good, so good

So good, so good, so good to me

How Great Thou Art

O Lord my God when I in awesome wonder

Consider all the works thy hand has made

I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder

Your power throughout the universe displayed

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee

How great thou art, how great thou art

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee

How great thou art, how great thou art

When through the woods, and forest glades I

wander

And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees

When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur

And hear the brook, and feel the gentle breeze

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee

How great thou art, how great thou art

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee

How great thou art, how great thou art

And when I think that God, His Son not sparing

Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in

That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing,

He bled and died to take away my sin

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee

How great thou art, how great thou art

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee

How great thou art, how great thou art

When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation

And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart

Then I shall bow in humble adoration,

And there proclaim, 'My God, how great Thou

art!'

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Let your heart be light

From now on our troubles will be out of sight

Here we are as in olden days

Happy golden days of yore

Faithful friends who are dear to us

Gather near to us once more

Have yourself a merry little Christmas, Make the Yuletide gay

From now on our troubles will be miles away

Here we are as in olden days

Happy golden days of yore

Faithful friends who are dear to us

Gather near to us once more

Through the years we all will be together

If the Fates allow

Hang a shining star upon the highest bough

So have yourself a merry little Christmas...

Now
