CHRISTMAS SONGS

It came upon a midnight clear…

A beautiful, cloudless, starlit night –

Angels we have heard on high…

What’s that? Can you hear it? It sounds like heavenly music –

Hark, the herald angels sing…

It IS music – it’s a heavenly choir! Oh my heart, be still. What are they saying?

O holy night. O little town of Bethlehem. Away in a manger, round yon virgin mother and child…

Oh, look! A young mother who has just given birth to her first child. And it’s – it’s a boy!

What child is this…

She and her husband have called him Emmanuel – God with us. His name is Jesus –

For unto us a child is born…

Oh my, this is THE CHILD. The One prophesied from centuries ago. This is HIM – the Messiah!

Holy infant, so tender and mild…

Look at His sweet baby face. His tiny hands and feet, His soft cheeks, His precious mouth, His shining eyes –

I have no gift to bring…

I have nothing – I am poor, lowly in spirit. But He should have something from me – there must be something I can give Him.

O come, all ye faithful. Joyful and triumphant…

Yes! I can give Him my heart! I can be faithful and joyful. He is bringing my victory!

Joy to the world. The Lord is come...

The Lord of lords and King of kings has come to earth! He has brought Light to the darkness, and Life to the dying! He has brought redemption –

Oh come, let us adore Him!

Oh Lord Jesus, how I adore You. Thank you for loving me before the world began. Thank you for coming to earth, to live as one of us. Thank you for understanding what it means to be human. Thank you for dying, for sacrificing Your life – for me. Thank you, Lord – for everything –

O Holy Night...

"And His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace."
