Song Sheet February 2nd
Entrance Hymn: Once in Royal David’s City
He came down to earth from heaven, Who is God and Lord of all And His shelter was a stable And His cradle was a stall; With the poor and mean and lowly Lived on earth our Savior holy.
And through all His wondrous childhood, He would honor and obey, Love and watch the lowly maiden In whose gentle arms He lay. Christian children all should be kind, obedient, good as He.
For He is our child-hood's pattern, Day by day like us He grew; He was little, weak, and helpless. Tears and smiles like us He knew; And He feels all for our sadness, And He shares in all our gladness.
And our eyes at last shall see him, through his own redeeming love; For that child so dear and gentle is our Lord in heaven above: And he leads his children on to the place where he has gone.
Offertory Hymn: The Lord is My Light
The Lord is my light, my help, my salvation. Why Should I fear? With God I fear no one. God protects me all my life. With the Lord what should I dread?
(Refrain) The Lord is my light, the Lord is my help, the Lord is my salvation.
There is one thing I ask of the Lord that I long for: all of my days with God to be dwelling, gazing with awe at the beauty of God, and in wonder look on God’s house. (To Refrain)
I know I will live to see the Lord’s goodness,now, in this life, I’m sure I will see it. Trust in the Lord, be strong and be brae; wait in hope for God, our salvation. (To Refrain)
Communion Hymn: Christ Be Our Light
Longing for light, we wait in darkness. Longing for truth, we turn to you. Make us your own, your holy people, Light for the world to see.
(Refrain) Christ, be our light! Shine in our hearts. Shine through the darkness. Christ, be our light! Shine in your church gathered today.
Longing for peace, our world is troubled. Longing for hope, many despair. Your word alone has pow'r to save us. Make us your living voice. (To Refrain)
Longing for food, many are hungry. Longing for water, many still thirst. Make us your bread, broken for others, Shared until all are fed. (To Refrain)
Longing for shelter, many are homeless. Longing for warmth, many are cold. Make us your building, sheltering others, Walls made of living stone. (To Refrain)
Recessional Hymn: Love Divine, All Loves Excelling
Love divine, all loves excelling, joy of heaven to earth come down! Fix in us your humble dwelling; All your faithful mercies crown. Jesus, source of all compassion, love unbounded, love all pure; Visit us with your salvation, Let your love in us endure.
Come, almighty to deliver; Let us all your life receive; Suddenly return and never, never more your temples leave. Lord, we would be always blessing, serve you as your hosts above, pray, and praise you without ceasing, glory in your precious love.
Finish then your new creation, pure and spotless, gracious Lord; Let us see your great salvation perfectly in you restored. Changed from glory into glory, till in heaven we take our place, till we sing before the almighty, lost in wonder, love, and praise.
