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

Wonderful Counselor
Wonderful Counselor, born to us
Born to love, and want good for us
You want good for us, Lord Jesus

Wonderful Counselor, given to us
Given to guide, and provide for us
You provide for us, Lord Jesus

Your presence surrounds me
Your glory for all to see

Wonderful Counselor, sent to us
Sent to heal, and to comfort us
You comfort us, Lord Jesus

Your Name
Humbly to the earth You came
Born into this world to save
God with us, Emmanuel
Now we adore Your name

Your Name is a strong and mighty tower
Your Name is a shelter like no other
Your Name, let the nations sing it louder
'Cause nothing has the power to save, but Your Name

Jesus, in Your Name we pray
Come and fill our hearts today
Lord, give us strength to live for You
and glorify Your Name

God with us Emmanuel
Now we adore Your name

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

Blessed Jesus we adore You
Light of life and Son of love
All Your children bow before You
Speak Your name and lift You up
King of kings from highest heaven
Lord of lords come rule alone
Son of God so sweetly given
Make our hearts Your holy throne

Readings
“In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria. And all went to be registered, each to his own town. 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, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. 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.” (Luke 2:11-7 ESV)

“For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:38-39 ESV)

“By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.” (1 John 3:16-18 ESV)

“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” (John 13:34-35 ESV)

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

© Ben Cantelon, Stuart Garrard

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)
