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.Isreal’s strength and consolation, Hope of all the earth Thou art;Dear desire of ev’ry nation, Joy of ev’ry 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.

90here0i0am0to0worship.09 / Tim Hughes

Light of the world, You stepped down into darkness,Open my eyes, let me see.Beauty that made this heart adore You,Hope of a life spent with You.

Here I am to worship, here I am to bow down,Here I am to say that You’re my God.You’re altogether lovely, altogether worthy, Altogether wonderful to me.

5)))))))))))))))NARRATION)))))))))))))))% Christmas is almost here. Let us joyfully anticipate and celebrate the wonderful mystery of Christ’s birth with hearts full of worship. Let’s think back to that holy night where the lowliness of earth met with the holiness of Heaven. The night where a dirty, messy stable became the birthplace for Jesus Christ, the king of Kings. Let’s go back and hear the songs of the people crying out for a Savior. Let’s return to that divine, holy night.

80o0come0o0come0emmanuel0* / Traditional Carol

Rejoice! Rejoice! EmmanuelShall come to thee, O Israel!Rejoice! Rejoice! EmmanuelShall come to thee, O Israel!Rejoice! Rejoice! EmmanuelShall come to thee, O Israel!

5)))))))))))))))NARRATION)))))))))))))))%This was the song of Israel, waiting to see the long awaited Savior… But what is OUR song? If we could worship at the manger that night in Bethlehem, knowing this is truly the Messiah, what would WE sing? This Baby born to deliver us from darkness. How should YOU worship, Christ the King?

90what0a0beautiful0name09 / Ben Fielding and Brooke Ligertwood

You were the Word at the beginning,One with God, the Lord most high.Your hidden glory in creation, Now revealed in You, our Christ.

What a wonderful name it is,what a wonderful name it is, The name of Jesus Christ, my King.What a wonderful name it is, nothing compares to this,What a wonderful name it is, the name of Jesus.What a wonderful name it is, the name of Jesus.

80isnªt0the0name0* / Jonathan Stockstill

Isn’t the name of Jesus wonderful? Isn’t the name of Jesus wonderful?All the world can come to Him and have their sins removed.Isn’t the name of Jesus wonderful?

Eternal King, You will reign forever,And we will sing, the glory of Your name.Be lifted high for all the world to see.Your name is all they need.Your name is all we need.Your name is all they need.Your name is all we need.

5)))))))))))))))NARRATION)))))))))))))))%An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. And the angel said them, “fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sing for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger. — LUKE 2:9 -12 ESV

90the0first0noel09 / Traditional Carol

The first Noel the angel did say, Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;In fields where they lay keeping their sheep,On a cold winter’s night that was so deep.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel.

80away0in0a0manger0* / Words: Anonymous / Music by James R. Murray

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head;The stars in the sky looked down where He lay.The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.

90what0child0is0this09/ William C. Dix / Traditional English Melody, 16th Century

What Child is this, who, laid to rest, On Mary’s lap is sleeping?Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,While shepherds watch are keeping?

This, this is Christ, the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:Haste, haste to bring Him laud,The Babe, the Son of Mary!

90silent0night0holy0night09 / Joseph Mohr, John Freeman Young, Franz Grüber

Silent night, holy night, All is calm, all is bright.Round yon virgin mother and child!Holy Infant so tender and mild,Sleep in heavenly peace,Sleep in heavenly peace.

\benediction| – Pastor Jesse Johnson

In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. 2 This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria. 3 And all went to be registered, each to his own town. 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, 5 to be registered with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. 6 And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. 7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn. 8 And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. 10 And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, 14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!” 15 When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.” 16 And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger. 17 And when they saw it, they made known the saying that had been told them concerning this child. 18 And all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart. 20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.

- Luke 2:2-20
