Rejoice (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, O Come, Thou Lord of might
Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai’s height
In ancient times did give the law
In cloud, and majesty, and awe

Rejoice! Rejoice!

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

Joyful (The One Who Saves)
Joyful joyful we adore You
God of glory Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flow'rs before You
Opening to the sun above

Melt the clouds of sin and sadness
Drive the dark of doubt away
Giver of eternal gladness fill us
With the light of day

You are the One who saves
You are the One who saves
You are the One whose hands lift us from the grave
You are the Light of life the everlasting day
You are the One who takes all our sins away

You are giving and forgiving
Ever blessing ever blessed
Fountain of the joy of living
Ocean depths of happy rest

Jesus You are my rescue
Jesus You are my rescue
I give You ev'rything I am

10,000 Reasons (Bless The Lord)
Bless the Lord O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name

The sun comes up it's a new day dawning
It's time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the evening comes

You're rich in love and You're slow to anger
Your name is great and Your heart is kind
For all Your goodness I will keep on singing
Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find

And on that day when my strength is failing
The end draws near and my time has come
Still my soul will sing Your praise unending
Ten thousand years and then forevermore

Readings
He will tend his flock like a shepherd; he will gather the lambs in his arms; he will carry them in his bosom, and gently lead those that are with young. (Isaiah 40:11)

For I will restore health to you, and your wounds I will heal, declares the Lord, because they have called you an outcast: (Jeremiah 30:11)

 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 2:8-20)

“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. 11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. (John 15:9-11)

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. (Romans 15:13)

Communion
For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, "This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me." In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me." For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. (1 Corinthians 11:23-26 ESV)

Love Divine
Purify our hearts with truth
And guide them in Your way
Sanctify our lives anew
Have mercy Lord we pray
That we may do what's pleasing in Your sight
And know the fullness of Your sacrifice

We break this bread we drink this wine
Remembering the cross
The beauty of Your love divine
Is washing over us
That we may do what's pleasing in Your sight
And know the fullness of Your sacrifice

Lord we come to You
We're amazed by You and all You've done
All You've done for us
You have set us free
Oh the mystery of all You've done
All You've done for us

Alleluia alleluia alleluia amen
Oh alleluia alleluia alleluia amen

He's Coming
Comfort, oh comfort.
Speak softly and tenderly
Make it perfectly clear
That our savior is near

Make a road straight and smooth
A highway fit for a King
Calm the valleys and the hills
Raise your voice and sing

He's coming, He's coming
To shepherd His love
In His arms He will hold us
With the blessing from above
He's coming, He's coming
To shepherd His love
In His words He will guide us
With the power from above

Clear the way for the Lord
Clear the way for the Lord
Prepare a place for His glory to shine

© Eddy Mann
Blessing
May the Lord bless us and keep us; 
May he make His face shine upon us, and be gracious to us, 
May he lift up His countenance upon us, and give us peace. 
(Numbers 6:24-26 NKJV)
