1. The Sky Can Still Remember
The sky can still remember the earliest Christmas morn,
When in the cold December the Savior Christ was born.
No star unfolds its glory, no trumpet wind is blown,
But tells the Christmas story in music of its own.
Oh never failing splendor! O never silent song!
Still keep the green earth tender, still keep the gray earth strong,
Still keep the brave earth dreaming of deeds that shall be done,
While children’s lives come streaming like sunbeams from the sun.
Oh angels sweet and splendid, join in our hearts and sing
The wonders which attended the coming of the King;
Till we too, boldly journey where once the shepherds trod,
Climb Bethlehem’s Hill of Blessing, and find the Son of God.
2. Away In A Manger
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head.
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay,
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.
The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes,
But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes;
I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle til morning is nigh.
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever, and love me, I pray;
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care,
And fit us for heaven to live with Thee there.
3. 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.
Oh Come Thou Dayspring come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
And drive away the shades of night
And pierce the clouds and bring us light
Rejoice, Rejoice
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.
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.
Rejoice, Rejoice
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.
4. O Holy Night
O holy night, the stars are brightly shining;
It is the night of the dear Saviors birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope, the weary soul rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born!
O night, Divine, O night divine!
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!
Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born!
O night, O holy night, O night divine!
5. 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,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.
6. That's My King
He could have come in power
Demanding a throne
Instead He came to a manger
No one even offered their home
He could have come with thunder
And peeled back the sky
Instead He proved His power
With the innocence of a child
That’s my King
That’s my King
He could have come in splendor
For the whole world to see
Instead He came to a manger
To be found by those on their knees
He could have come with thunder
And peeled back the sky
From His first breath to His last on earth
He laid down His life.
That’s my king
That’s my King
That’s my King
7. For Unto Us
For unto us a child is born
And unto us a Son is given
And the government shall be upon His shoulders
And His name, His name shall be called
Wonderful counselor
Mighty God
Prince of Peace, Everlasting Father
Emmanuel, God is among us
And His kingdom and peace shall never end
8. O Little Town of Bethlehem
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.
How silently, how silently, the wondrous Gift is given;
So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of His heaven.
No ear may hear His coming, but in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive Him still, the dear Christ enters in.
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 Emmanuel!
9. 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
10. Lullaby
Tiny Babe, sleep away the night
In a world of lonely darkness
You have come, the Light
Tonight it's hard finding words to say
Men have looked for years with longing
For this very day
Shepherds, run to see the Baby
Wise men, leave your distant land
Angels, give the Father glory
Peace, good will to men
Tiny Babe, sleep away the night
In a world of lonely darkness
You have come, the Light
Tiny Babe, when the morning comes
You'll begin your long, long journey
To a Roman cross
But not tonight, while the world is calm
Give your heart to silent sleeping
In your mother's arms
Soon enough the bread will be broken
Soon enough the blood will flow
What you'll face on lonely Calvary
No one else will know
But not tonight, while the world is calm
Give your heart to silent sleeping
In your mother's arms
In your mother's arms
