Isaiah 9:2–3 (ESV)

2 The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shone. 3 You have multiplied the nation; you have increased its joy; they rejoice before you as with joy at the harvest, as they are glad when they divide the spoil.

Hark The Herald Angels Sing

Verse 1

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 th'angelic hosts proclaim

Christ is born in Bethlehem

Hark the herald angels sing

Glory to the newborn King

Verse 2

Christ by highest heav'n adored

Christ the everlasting Lord

Late in time behold Him come

Offspring of the Virgin's womb

Veiled in flesh the Godhead see

Hail th'incarnate Deity

Pleased as man with men to dwell

Jesus our Emmanuel

Hark the herald angels sing

Glory to the newborn King

Verse 3

Hail the heav'n-born Prince of Peace

Hail the Sun of Righteousness

Light and life to all He brings

Ris'n 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

Verse 4

Come Desire of nations come

Fix in us Thy humble home

Rise the woman's conqu’ring seed

Bruise in us the serpent's head

Adam’s likeness now efface

Stamp Thine image in its place

Second Adam from above

Reinstate us in Thy love

Hark the herald angels sing

Glory to the newborn King

O Little Town Of Bethlehem (Saint Louis)

Verse 1

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

Verse 2

For Christ is born of Mary

And gathered all above

While mortals sleep

The angels keep their watch of wondering love

O morning stars together

Proclaim the holy birth

And praises sing to God the King

And peace to men on earth

Verse 3

How silently how silently

The wondrous gift is given

So God imparts to human hearts

The blessings of His heaven

No ear may hear His coming

But in this world of sin

Where meek souls will receive Him still

The dear Christ enters in

Verse 5

O holy Child of Bethlehem

Descend to us we pray

Cast out our sin and enter in

Be born in us today

We hear the Christmas angels

The great glad tidings tell

O come to us abide with us

Our Lord Emmanuel

Wonderful Counselor

Verse 1

The people who walked in the darkness

Have seen a great light come

The people who dwelled in the shadows

Have seen a new day dawn

For to us a son is given

And to us a child is born

And the kingdom of the heavens

Is on His shoulders

Chorus

And His name shall be Wonderful Counselor

Mighty God Prince of Peace

His name shall be Wonderful Counselor

Mighty God Prince of Peace

Savior of the world

Verse 2

The gloom of the slave and the prisoner

Has lifted like a cloud

The ones who were crushed by their burdens

Rejoice and laugh out loud

And His kingdom will keep on increasing

His peace will have no end

He'll bring mercy truth and justice

By His own power

Chorus

And His name shall be Wonderful Counselor

Mighty God Prince of Peace

His name shall be Wonderful Counselor

Mighty God Prince of Peace

Savior of the world

All Praise To Him

Verse 1

All praise to Him the God of light

Who formed the mountains by His might

All praise to Him Who names the stars

That sing His fame in skies afar

All praise to Him Who reigns in love

Who guides the galaxies above

Yet bends to hear our every prayer

With sovereign pow'r and tender care

Verse 2

All praise to Him Whose love is seen

In Christ the Son the servant King

Who left behind His glorious throne

To pay the ransom for His own

All praise to Him Who humbly came

To bear our sorrow sin and shame

Who lived to die Who died to rise

The all-sufficient sacrifice

Verse 3

All praise to Him whose pow'r imparts

The love of God within our hearts

The Spirit of all truth and peace

The fount of joy and holiness

To Father Son and Spirit now

Our souls we lift our wills we bow

To You the Triune God we raise

With loving hearts our song of praise
