Refrain:
Christ  is our King, let  the whole world rejoice!
May all the nations sing out with one voice!
Light  of the world, you  have helped us to see
that we are one people and one day we shall all be free.

He came to open  the eyes of the blind,
letting the sunlight  pour into their minds.
Vision is waiting  for those who have hope.
He is the light  of the world. (refrain)

He came to speak  tender words to the poor,
he is the gateway and he is the door.
Riches are waiting  for all those who hope.
He is the light  of the world. (refrain)

He came to open the doors of the jail,
he came to help the downtrodden and frail.
Freedom is waiting for all those who hope.
He is the light  of the world. (refrain)

He came to open the lips of the mute,
letting them speak out with courage and truth.
His words are uttered by all those who hope.
He is the light of the world. (refrain)

He came to heal all the crippled and lame,
sickness took flight at the sound of his name.
Vigour is waiting for all those who hope.
He is the light  of the world. (refrain)

He came to love everyone on this earth,
and through his Spirit he promised rebirth.
New life is waiting for all those who hope.
He is the light  of the world. (refrain)

Let all mortal flesh keep silence,

And with fear and trembling stand;

Ponder nothing worldly minded,

For with blessing in His hand

Christ our God to Earth descendeth,

Our full homage to demand.

King of Kings, yet born of Mary,

As of old on Earth He stood,

Lord of Lords in human vesture,

in the Body and the Blood.

He will give to all the faithful

his own self for heav’nly food.

Rank on rank the host of heaven

preads its vanguard on the way,

as the Light of Light descendeth

from the realms of endless day,

that the pow’rs of hell may vanish

as the darkness clears away.

At His feet the six-winged Seraph,

Cherubim with sleepless eye,

veil their faces to the Presence,

as with ceaseless voice they cry,

‘Alleluia, alleluia,

Alleluia, Lord, most High!’

Communion:

What Kind of Throne (sheet music)

http://www.resoundworship.org/song/what_kind_of_throne

What kind of throne is a manger of hay?
No majesty shown there, no dignity claimed,
for one who deserves to be
crowned and enthroned on our praise?

What kind of king is so modestly born,
when glory unmeasured is humble and small?
This is the hope of the world
and the true light of all.

Refrain:
So I'll bow down to worship the humblest of kings
and I'll bring him the best that I have;
I'll say that I love him, and that I am his,
and I'll give him the throne of my heart,
I'll give him the throne of my heart.

What kind of Saviour makes weakness his strength,
in frailty depending on those he would save,
and veiling the power that always belonged to his name?

What kind of child causes heaven to sing,
with angels proclaiming the hope that he brings?
This is the glory of God, this is Jesus, the King.

761 He is Lord

He is King, He is King.

He has risen from the dead

And He is King.

Ev’ry knee shall bow,

Ev’ry tongue confess

That Jesus Christ is King.

He is love, He is love.

He has risen from the dead

And He is love.

Lord of creation, to you be all praise!

Most mighty your working, most wondrous your ways!

You reign in a glory no tongue e'er can tell;

you deign in the heart of the humble to dwell.

Lord of all power, I give you my will,

in joyful obedience your tasks to fulfill.

Your bondage is freedom, your service is song;

and, held in your keeping, my weakness is strong.

Lord of all wisdom, I give you my mind,

rich truth that surpasses our knowledge to find.

What eye has not seen and what ear never heard

is taught by your Spirit and shines from your Word.

Lord of all bounty, I give you my heart;

I praise and adore you for all you impart;

your love to inspire me, your counsel to guide,

your presence to cheer me whatever betide.

Lord of all being, I give you my all;

if e'er I disown you, I stumble and fall;

but, sworn in glad service your word to obey,

I walk in your freedom to the end of the way.

https://youtu.be/heXlciNl2CU

In bread we bring you Lord, our body's' labour

In wine we offer you our spirit's grief.

We do not ask you, Lord, who is my neighbour,

But stand united now, one in belief.

O we have gladly heard your word, your holy word

And now in answer, Lord, our gifts we bring.

Our selfish hearts make true, our failing faith renew,

Our life belongs to you, our Lord and King.

The bread we offer you is blessed and broken,

And it becomes for us our spirit’s food.

Over the cup we bring your Word is spoken;

Make it your gift to us your healing blood.

Take all that daily toil plants in our heart’s poor soil,

Take all we start and spoil, each hopeful dream.

The chances we have missed, the graces we resist,

Lord, in thy Eucharist, take and redeem.

Take my life, and let it be consecrated, Lord, to Thee.

Take my hands, and let them move at the impulse of Thy love.

Take my feet, and let them be swift and purposeful for Thee.

Take my voice, and let me sing always, only, for my King.

Take my intellect, and use every power as thou shalt choose.

Take my will, and make it Thine; it shall be no longer mine.

Take my heart, it is Thine own; it shall be Thy royal throne.

There will be signs upon the sun

The moon and stars will share Earth's agony.

And ev'ry nation will be fearful of the sound:

the ocean's roar, the raging sea

then they will see the Son of Man

riding the clouds with pow'r and glory;

hold up your heads, your liberation is at hand:

your destiny, your destiny...

O stay awake, do not fear the night

The dawn will break with the Saviour's light

Your liberation is at hand:

O stay awake!  O stay awake!

The time is near, we must arise,

no longer living in the dark of night.

So arm yourselves as people living in the way

of truthfulness, integrity,

and hold a dream of days to come

when we will reach God's holy mountain

and change all weapons into instruments of peace

to sow the seed of justice.

Pray that I may have the grace

To let you be my servant, too.

We are pilgrims on a journey

We are trav'llers on the road;

We are here to help each other

Walk the mile and bear the load

I will hold the Christ-light for you

In the night-time of your fear;

I will hold my hand out to you,

Speak the peace you long to hear.

I will weep when you are weeping;

When you laugh I'll laugh with you.

I will share your joy and sorrow

Till we've seen this journey through.

When we sing to God in heaven

We shall find such harmony,

Born of all we've known together

Of Christ's love and agony.

Like a child rests in its mother's arms, so will I rest in you,

Dear Lord and Father of mankind,

forgive our foolish ways;

reclothe us in our rightful mind,

in purer lives thy service find,

in deeper reverence, praise.

In simple trust like theirs who heard,

beside the Syrian sea,

the gracious calling of the Lord,

let us, like them, without a word,

rise up and follow thee.

O Sabbath rest by Galilee,

O calm of hills above,

where Jesus knelt to share with thee

the silence of eternity,

interpreted by love!

Drop thy still dews of quietness,

till all our strivings cease;

take from our souls the strain and stress,

and let our ordered lives confess

the beauty of thy peace.

Breathe through the heats of our desire

thy coolness and thy balm;

let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;

speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,

O still, small voice of calm.
