Gathered to one, for all.

Communion 150 The First nowell
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDgm87S0WxU

The First Nowell, the Angels 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.

Refrain:
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
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. (Refrain)

And by the light of that same star
Three Wise men came from country far
To seek for a King was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went.
(Refrain)

This star drew nigh to the northwest
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay.
(Refrain)

Then entered in those wise men three
Full reverently upon their knee
And offered there in His presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.
(Refrain)

Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
That hath made Heaven and earth of nought
And with his blood mankind has bought. (Refrain)

Here I am to worship
(Don't sing bridge lyrics-instrumental solo only)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5hN_m55uoM

Light of the world
You stepped down into darkness.
Opened my eyes, let me see.
Beauty that made this heart adore You
Hope of a life spent with You

Chorus:
Here I am to worship,
Here I am to bow down,
Here I am to say that You're my God
You're altogether lovely
All together worthy,
All together wonderful to me

King of all days
oh, so highly exalted
Glorious in heaven above
Humbly You came
To the earth You created
All for love's sake became poor
(repeat refrain twice)


(bridge melody in instrumental only led by violins)
(I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross)
repeat 3 X

Repeat refrain (guitar only)
repeat refrain again - all instruments

Final 857  Sing to the world of Christ (vs 1-3 only)

Sing to the world of Christ our sov'reign Lord,
tell of his birth which brought new life to all.
Speak of his life, his love, his holy word:
let every nation hear and know his call
Sing to the world of Christ our sov'reign Lord

Sing to the world of Christ the Prince of peace,
Showing to us the Father's loving care,
Pleading that love should reign and wars might cease,
Teaching we need the love of God to share.
Sing to the world of Christ the Prince of peace

Sing to the world of Christ our steadfast friend
off'ring himself to live the constant sign;
food for our souls until we meet life's end,
gives us his flesh for bread, his blood for wine
Sing to the world of Christ our steadfast friend

Sing to the world of Christ our Saviour King,
born that his death the world's release should win;
hung from a cross, forgiveness he could bring;
buried, he rose to conquer death and sin
Sing to the world of Christ our Saviour King

Sing to the world of Christ at God's right hand
praise to the Spirit both have sent from heav'n,
living in us till earth shall reach its span,
time be no more, and Christ shall come again.
Sing to the world of Christ at God's right hand

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8T6isuiF-x0


What Child is this who, laid to rest 
On Mary’s lap is sleeping? 
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, 
While shepherds watch are keeping? 
This, this is Christ the King, 
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing; 
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud, 
The Babe, the Son of Mary.


Why lies He in such mean estate, 
Where ox and ass are feeding? 
Good Christians, fear, for sinners here 
The silent Word is pleading. 
Nails, spear shall pierce Him through, 
The cross be borne for me, for you; 
Hail, hail the Word made flesh, 
The Babe, the Son of Mary.  


So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh, 
Come peasant, king to own Him; 
The King of kings salvation brings, 
Let loving hearts enthrone Him. 
Raise, raise a song on high, 
The virgin sings her lullaby; 
Joy, joy for Christ is born, 
The Babe, the Son of Mary.


979 Oh the Word of my Lord,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uClEGv19Tyg

Chorus
Oh the Word of my Lord,
Deep within my being.
Oh The Word of my Lord,
You have filled my mind.

Before I formed you in the womb,
I knew you through and through
I chose you to be mine
Before you left your mother’s side
I called to you, my child,
To be my sign.

I know that you are very young,
But I will make you strong
-I’ll fill you with my word,
and you will travel through the land
Fulfilling my command
Which you have heard.

And ev’rywhere you are to go,
My hand will follow you
You will not be alone.
In all the danger that you fear
You’ll find me very near,
Your words my own

With all my strength you will be filled
You will destroy and build,
For that is my design
You will create and overthrow,
Reap harvests I will sow –
Your word is mine.

Final 922  Bind us together
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqtqIUyXoFc
(refrain)
Bind Us Together, Lord
bind us together, 
with cords that cannot be broken.
Bind us together, Lord,
bind us together, Lord,
bind us together with love.

There is only one God,
there is only one King
there is only one Body
that is why we sing: (refrain)

Made for the glory of God,
purchased by his precious Son,
born with the right to be free,
for Jesus the victory has won. (refrain)

We are the fam'ly of God,
we are the promise divine,
we  are God's chosen desire,
we are the glorious new wine. (refrain)

338 Magnificat (My soul proclaims) - Bernadette Farell -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15AccZAcdpk
(soloist-female)
1. My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord.
My spirit sings to God, my saving God,
Who on this day above all others favored me
And raised me up, a light for all to see.

(women/children)
2. Through me great deeds will God make manifest,
And all the earth will come to call me blest.
Unbounded love and mercy sure will I proclaim
For all who know and praise God's holy name.

(enter tenor/bass)
3. God's mighty arm, protector of the just,
Will guard the weak and raise them from the dust.
But mighty kings will swiftly fall from thrones corrupt.
The strong brought low, the lowly lifted up.

4. Soon will the poor and hungry of the earth
Be richly blest, be given greater worth.
And Israel, as once foretold to Abraham,
Will live in peace throughout the promised land.

5. All glory be to God, Creator blest,
To Jesus Christ, God's love made manifest,
And to the Holy Spirit, gentle Comforter,
All glory be, both now and evermore.

Shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, thou wisdom from on high,
and order all things mightily;
to us the path of knowledge show,
and teach us in her ways to go. (Refrain)

O come, O come, Thou Lord of might,
Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai's height,
In ancient times did'st give the Law,
In cloud, and majesty and awe. (Refrain)

O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan's tyranny
From depths of Hell Thy people save
And give them victory o'er the grave (Refrain)

And open wide our heavenly home;
Make safe the way that leads on high,
And close the path to misery. (Refrain)

Our spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death's dark shadows put to flight. (Refrain)

bid every sad division cease,
and be thyself our Prince of Peace. (Refrain)

Optional communion:

Mary, did you know (by Lowry, Mark; Greene, Buddy)
sheet music:

Mary did you know that your baby boy will one day walk on water?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your baby boy has come to make you new?
This child that you've delivered, will soon deliver you.

Mary did you know that your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will calm a storm with his hand?
Did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
And when you kiss your little baby, you have kissed the face of God.

The blind will see, the deaf will hear and the dead will live again.
The lame will leap, the dumb will speak, the praises of the lamb.

Mary did you know that your baby boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will one day rule the nations?
Did you know that your baby boy is heaven's perfect Lamb?
This sleeping child you're holding is the great I am.

He took upon himself the sins of the nation. (refrain)

And He will share with us His heavenly vision. (refrain)

Communion
96 A voice cries out 
(Note to parents: the video images can be disturbing - I suggest you minimize the YouTube window so you can just listen & not watch)
(note to singers: if the verses are too difficult, just learn the refrain and I can sing the verses as Cantor. - May) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGzmAwfyYPw

1. Console my people, the ones dear to me:
speak to the heart of Jerusalem:
the time of your mourning is ended now, 
the Lord of life will come.

Refrain:
A voice cries out in the wilderness: 
Prepare a way for the Lord!
A voice cries out in the wilderness: 
Make straight a high-way for God!

2. Ev'ry valley is made a plain, 
ev'ry mountain is leveled,
the glory of God shall then be revealed, 
and the nations will sing in praise. (refrain)

3. A voice shouts: 'Cry!' O what shall I cry? 
'All flesh is like grass and its flowers:
the grass may wither, the flower may fade,
but the word of the Lord is forever.' (refrain)

(same melody as verse 2)
4. Zion, shout from the mountain top, 
lift up your voice O Jerusalem,
and say to the people of God's own land,
'Behold, behold your God!' (refrain)

(same melody as verse 1)
5. The Lord will appear as a shepherd,
holding his lambs in his arms,
keeping his flock so close to his heart
leading them all, old and young. (refrain)

All who are Thirsty (Come Lord Jesus Come) by Brenton Brown

For musicians:  (pls. choose chords in A:)  http://www.worshiparchive.com/song/all-who-are-thirsty
for guitar style & tempo only: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRLKT_w4_RQ (this is a concert version so we won't do this arrangement since it's too long.)


All who are thirsty
And all who are weak
Come to the fountain
Dip your heart in the stream of life


Let the pain and the sorrow
Be washed away
In the waves of His mercy
As deep cries out to deep, we sing


Come, Lord Jesus, come
Come, Lord Jesus, come
Come, Lord Jesus, come
Come, Lord Jesus, come


All who are thirsty
And all who are weak
Come to the fountain
Dip your heart in the stream of life


Let the pain and the sorrow
Be washed away
In the waves of His mercy
As deep cries out to deep, we sing


Holy Spirit, come
Holy Spirit, come
Holy Spirit, come
Holy Spirit, come


(note I've rearranged the lyrics of the last chorus, soloist sings in brackets)
Come, Lord Jesus, come
Holy Spirit, come (Come and breathe on us again)
Come, Lord Jesus, come
Holy Spirit, come (Come and breathe on us again)
