A Westside Christmas

WELCOME

JOY TO THE WORLD

Joy to the world,

the Lord is come,

let earth receive her King
Let ev'ry heart prepare Him room

And Heaven and nature sing,

and Heaven and nature sing
And Heaven, Heaven, nature sing

Joy to the earth,

the Savior reigns,

let men their songs employ
While fields and floods,

rocks, hills and plains

Repeat the sounding joy,

repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy

No more let sins and sorrows grow

nor thorns infest the ground
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found,

far as the curse is found
Far as, far as, the curse is found

He rules the world with truth and grace,

and makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love,

and wonders of His love
And wonders, wonders of His love

He rules the world with truth and grace,

and makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love,

and wonders of His love
And wonders, wonders of His love

Let ev'ry heart prepare Him room
And Heaven and nature sing,

and Heaven and nature sing
And Heaven, Heaven, nature sing

Sweetly singing o'er the plains

And the mountains in reply

Echoing their joyous strains

Shepherds why this jubilee

Why your joyous strains prolong

What the gladsome tidings be

Which inspire your heav'nly song

Him whose birth the angels sing

Come adore on bended knee

SCRIPTURE

O HOLY NIGHT

O Holy Night

The stars are brightly shining

It is the night of the dear Savior’s 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 world rejoices

For yonder breaks

A new and glorious morn

Fall on your knees

Oh hear the angel voices

O night divine

O night when Christ was born

O night divine

O night, O night

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

Christ is the Lord

O praise His name forever

His power and glory ever more proclaim

Fall on your knees

Oh hear the angel voices

O night divine

O night when Christ was born

O night divine, O night, O night divine

AWAY IN A MANGER

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

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 till 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 take us to Heaven

To live with Thee there

SCRIPTURE

HARK! THE HERALD ANGELS SING

Hark! The herald angels sing

Glory to the newborn King

Peace on earth and mercy mild

God and sinners reconciled

Joyful all ye nations rise

Join the triumph of the skies

With angelic hosts proclaim

Christ is born in Bethlehem

Hark! The herald angels sing

Glory to the newborn King

Christ by highest heaven adored

Christ the everlasting Lord

Late in time behold Him come

Offspring of a virgin's womb

Veiled in flesh the Godhead see

Hail the incarnate deity

Pleased as man with man to dwell

Jesus our Emmanuel

Hark! The herald angels sing

Glory to the newborn King

Hail the heav'n born Prince of Peace!

Hail the Son of Righteousness!

Light and life to all He brings

Risen with healing in His wings

Mild He lays His glory by

Born that man no more may die

Born to raise the sons of earth

Born to give them second birth

Hark! The herald angels sing

Glory to the newborn King

SCRIPTURE

THE FIRST NOEL

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

They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night

Noel Noel Noel Noel
Born is the King of Israel

Born is the King of Israel

With one voice we sing

DEVOTIONAL

COMMUNION

YOU GAVE YOUR LIFE AWAY

You spoke and worlds were formed

You breathed and life was born

You knew that one day you would come

So far from heaven's throne,

clothed in human form

You showed the world the Father's love

You gave, You gave Your life away

You gave, You gave Your life away for me

Your grace has broken every chain

My sins are gone, my debt's been paid

You gave, You gave Your life away for me

For me

You lived a sinless life

Yet You were crucified

You bought our freedom on the cross

Forsaken for our sin

You died and rose again

Jesus, You are the Lamb of God

You gave, You gave Your life away

You gave, You gave Your life away for me

Your grace has broken every chain

My sins are gone, my debt's been paid

You gave, You gave Your life away for me

For me

How glorious is Your love, if I could

Sing forever, it's not enough

How glorious is Your love, if I could

Sing forever, it's not enough

It's not enough

You gave, You gave Your life away

You gave, You gave Your life away for me

Your grace has broken every chain

My sins are gone, my debt's been paid

You gave, You gave Your life away for me

For me

You gave, You gave Your life away

You gave, You gave Your life away for me

Your grace has broken every chain

My sins are gone, my debt's been paid

You gave, You gave Your life away for me

For me

Forsaken all our sin

You died and rose again

Jesus, You are the Lamb of God

SILENT NIGHT

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

Silent night, Holy night

Shepherds quake at the sight

Glories stream from heaven afar

Heavenly hosts sing Allelujah

Christ the Savior is born

Silent night, Holy night

Son of God, love’s pure light

Radiant beams from Thy holy face

With the dawn of redeeming grace

Jesus, Lord at Thy birth

Jesus, Lord at thy birth
