PROGRAM

 

Part 1

·      Go Tell It On The Mountain – African-American Spiritual [Joyous Praise Ensemble]

Go and tell it on the mountains and everywhere that Jesus Christ has come -- and He will come again!

·      Down From His Glory – Arr. Mike Speck

Hark how the bells, sweet silver bells, hear them fill the air. Over hill and dale, joyfully they ring songs of good cheer, Christmas is here.

O come, O come, Emmanuel, and ransom captive Israel, that mourns in exile here.

Down from His glory. He came for you and me.

·      Sing, Gloria, Sing! – Joel Raney

“Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means ‘God is with us.’”

God has come to dwell with man. He chose to come, to be with you and me.

Sing, O Heavens! Hosannah in excelsis. Sing, Gloria, Sing!

·      Angels From The Realms Of Glory – Arr. Jack Schrader

His government and its peace will never end. He will rule with fairness and justice from the throne of his ancestor David for all eternity. The passionate commitment of the LORD of Heaven’s Armies will make this happen!

Angels from the realms of glory, wing your flight over Earth.  Come and worship!  Worship Christ, the new born king!

·      The Friendly Beasts – Robert Davis / 12-Century France [Joyous Praise Ensemble]

Jesus, our Brother, strong and good, was humbly born in a stable rude, and the friendly beasts around Him stood. Jesus, our Brother, strong and good.

·      Somebody Build A Manger – Joel Raney

But the angel reassured them. “Don’t be afraid! I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people. The Savior — yes, the Messiah, the Lord — has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David!

And you will recognize him by this sign: You will find a baby wrapped snugly in strips of cloth, lying in a manger.”

·      Mary Did You Know? – Arr. Jack Schrader

But He was despised and afflicted, and we esteemed Him not.  But He was wounded for our transgressions. The punishment of our sins was upon Him.  And by His wounds we are healed.

·      What Child Is This? – Joel Raney

When the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, so that He might redeem those who are under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons and daughters.

·      Treasures Of The Heart – Pepper Choplin

When the angels had returned to heaven, the shepherds said to each other let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened that the Lord has told us about.  And all who heard the shepherds' story were astonished.  But Mary treasured all of these in her heart.

·      Pat-A-Pan – Arr. Mike Speck

For unto us a child is born .. and the government shall be upon His shoulder. And His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, the Mighty King, the Prince of Peace.

·      Prelude To Bethlehem – Ruth Morris Gray

O little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie. Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by.  Yet in thy dark streets shineth the Everlasting Light.  The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.

·      Carols of Christmas – Arr. Mike Speck

Yea Lord, we greet thee, born this happy morning, word of the Father, now in flesh appearing. O come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.

   

 

 Part 2

·      What Child Is This? – William Chatterton Dix [Joyous Praise Ensemble]

Behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, "Where is He who has been born King of the Jews, for we saw His star when it rose and have come to worship Him."

This, this is Christ the King, whom shepherds guard and angel sing.

·      Christ Is Born, Sing Glory To God! – Lloyd Larson

There were shepherds keeping watch one night, when the sky was filled with heaven's light. An angel of the Lord appeared, and proclaimed good news for all to hear.

·      He Started The Whole World Singing A Song – William Gaither (Arr. Marty Parks)

Before the song started, the world, broken-hearted, was dreamlessly passing the long empty days. Then a dark, lonely hillside was spangled with light, a song burst into the night.  What the song had to say was that love found a way -- He started the whole world singing a song!

·      Child Of Hope – Lloyd Larson

·      Run To Bethlehem – Joel Raney

Peace and hope and joy He's bringing, hear the heavenly voices singing. Hurry, shepherd, run to Bethlehem.

·      Still, Still, Still – Arr. Joel Raney

Still, still, still, he sleeps this night so chill. To thee, great Great God, our voice we raise, with worship and wonder sing thy praise. Sleep in heavenly peace.

·      Carry Me Back To Bethlehem – Joel Raney

O carry me now to Bethlehem, hear the angels singing gloria. Sing that little baby of Bethlehem can be the savior of us all.

·      Give Me An Old Fashioned Christmas – Mary McDonald

Give me an old-fashioned Christmas where we gather round the table to sing, Hallelujah, how the angels sang, twas a Birthday of a King, go tell it over the hills and everywhere that Jesus Christ is born.

·      Can You Hear The Christmas Bells? – Joel Raney

Can you see the Christmas light shining through the darkest night? Can you feel the Christmas joy, have you heard about that tiny boy? Can you hear the Christmas bells?

·      Worship Christ, The Newborn King! – Lloyd Larson

With the angelic host proclaim, Christ is born in Bethlehem. Sing all ye citizens of Heaven above. O come let us adore Him!

·      We Need A Little Christmas (We Need The Light Of Christmas Now) – Jerry Herman (Arr. Mark Hayes)/EJS

Come meek and lowly, tell me the story before my spirit falls again.

Bring up the mem'ries, spread out the tidings.

Let's ring Hosannah with that evergreen bough.

 

For we need the Light of Christmas right this very minute,

candles in the window, carols at the spinet.

Yes, we need the Light of Christmas, right this very minute.

We need His light of Christmas, need His joy of Christmas,

 

Christ the joy of Christmas now,

Christmas now, right now!

·      Merry Christmas To You – Phil & Lynne Brower
