Angels We Have Heard on High

(Benediction)
 Angel From the Realms of Glory
G C G/B D G
Angels from the realms of glory, wing your flight o’er all the earth;
D/F# Em B Em DA D
Ye who sang creation’s story, now proclaim Messiah’s birth;
D D/F# G C
Come and worship, come and worship,
Am G/B C Dsus D G
Worship Christ the new-born King!

G C G/B D G
Shepherds in the fields abiding, watching o’er your flocks by night,
D/F# Em B Em DA D
God with man is now re- sid- ing, yonder shines the infant Light:

G C G/B D G Sages,
leave your contemplations, brighter visions beam afar;
D/F# Em B Em DA D
Seek the great Desire of nations, Ye have seen His natal star:

G C G/B D G Saints
before the altar bending, watching long in hope and fear,
D/F# Em B Em D A D
Suddenly the Lord, de- scending, in His temple shall appear:
We Three Kings

Em B7 Em B Em
We three kings of Orient are;Bearing gifts we traverse afar,
Em D/F# G Am B Em
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,Following yonder star.

D G C G C G
O star of wonder, star of light,Star with royal beauty bright,
Em D C D G C G
Westward leading, still proceeding,Guide us to thy perfect light.

Em B7 Em B Em
Born a King on Bethlehem’s plainGold I bring to crown Him again,
Em D/F# G Am B Em
King forever, ceasing never,Over us all to reign.

Em B7 Em B Em
Frankincense to offer have I;Incense owns a Deity nigh;
Em D/F# G Am B Em
Prayer and praising, voices raising,Worshipping God on high.

Em B7 Em B Em
Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfumeBreathes a life of gathering gloom;
Em D/F# G Am B Em
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying,Sealed in the stone cold tomb.

Em B7 Em B Em
Glorious now behold Him arise;King and God and sacrifice;
Em D/F# G Am B Em
Alleluia, Alleluia,Sounds through the earth and skies.
How Great Our Joy

G C D G
While by the sheep we watched at night;
G C D G
Glad tiding brought an angel bright.

B Em B Em
How great our joy! Great our joy!

Praise we the Lord in heav’n on high!

G C D G
There shall be born, so he did say,
G C D G
In Bethlehem a Child today.

G C D G
There shall the Child lie in a stall,
G C D G
This Child who shall redeem us all.

G C D G
This gift of God we’ll cherish well,
G C D G
That ever joy our hearts shall fill.

THE LOVE OF GOD (IN c)
By Frederick M. Lehman, Expanded by Mercy Me. 145 bpm+-

Verse 1:
C F C G F C
The love of God is greater far than tongue or pen can ever tell
C F C G F C
It goes beyond the highest star and reaches to the lowest hell
F C GF C
The guilty pair, bowed down with care, God gave His Son to win
F Am7 GF C
His erring child He reconciled and pardoned from his sin

Verse 2:
When years of time shall pass away
and earthly thrones and kingdoms fall
When men who here, refuse to pray,
On rocks and hills and mountains call
God’s love so sure shall still endure, all measureless and strong
Redeeming grace to Adam’s race- the saints’ and angels song

Verse 3:
Could we with ink the ocean fill,
and were the skies of parchment made
Were every stalk on earth a quill,
And every man a scribe by trade
To write the love of God above would drain the ocean dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
Though stretched from sky to sky

Ending (last two lines of verse):

F C GF C
The love of God…How rich and pure! How measureless and strong!
F Am7 GF C
It shall forever more endure- the saints’ and angels’ song
 O Little Town of Bethlehem

E A F#m E/B B E
O little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie!
C#/F F#m A B E
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by.
B/D# C#m G#/C C#m G# C#m F#m G#
Yet in thy dark streets shineth the e- ver- last -ing Light;
E A F#m E/B B E
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.

E A F#m E/B B E
For Christ is born of Mary, and gathered all above,
C#/F F#m A B E
While mortals sleep, the angels keep their watch of wond’ring love.
B/D# C#m G#/C C#m G# C#m F#m G#
O morning stars, to- gether proclaim the ho- ly birth!
E A F#m E/B B E
And praises sing to God the King, And peace to all on earth.
 E A F#m E/B B E
How silently, how silently the wondrous gift is giv’n!
C#/F F#m A B E
So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of his heav’n.
B/D# C#m G#/C C#m G# C#m F#m G#
No ear may hear His coming, but in this world of sin,
E A F#m E/B B E
Where meek souls will receive Him still the dear Christ enters in.

E A F#m E/B B E
O holy child of Bethlehem! Descend to us, we pray;
C#/F F#m A B E
Cast out our sin, and enter in; Be born in us today.
B/D# C#m G#/C C#m G# C#m F#m G#
We hear the Christmas angels the great glad ti- dings tell;
E A F#m E/B B E
O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Emmanuel.
Infant Holy, Infant Lowly

Christ the babe is Lord of all.

vigil till the morning new

saw the glory, heard the story,
A/C# Bs E
tidings of a gospel true.
E/G# A F#/A# B
Thus rejoicing, free from sorrow,
G#/C C#m F#m B
praises voicing, greet the morrow:
E A/C# E/G# A G#/C C#m
Christ the babe was born for you.
E/A E/G# A B E
Christ the babe was born for you.
