Our spirits strengthen with Your grace, And give us joy to see Your face. Scripture: Exodus 19:20 Languages: English Tune Title: HAMBURG

From the fears that long have bound us Free our hearts to faith and praise: Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, For the living of these days, For the living of these days. 3 Cure Thy children's warring madness, Bend our pride to Thy control; Shame our wanton, selfish gladness, Rich in things and poor in soul. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, Lest we miss Thy kingdom's goal, Lest we miss Thy kingdom's goal. 4 Set our feet on lofty places; Fill our lives that we may be Strengthened with all Christ-like graces Pledged to set all captives free. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, Lest we fail our call from Thee, Lest we fail our call from Thee. 5 Save us from weak resignation To the evils we deplore; Let the gift of Thy salvation Be our glory evermore. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, Serving Thee whom we adore, Serving Thee whom we adore. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:57-58 Languages: English Tune Title: CWM RHONDDA

O Holy Night

Author: John S. Dwight, 1813-1893 Hymnal: One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism #267 (2018) Meter: Irregular Topics: The Celebration of the Gospel Story Christmas First Line: O holy night! the stars are brightly shining Lyrics: 1 O holy night! the stars are brightly shining; It is the night of the dear Savior’s birth. Long lay the world in sin and error pining, Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth. A thrill of hope- the weary world rejoices, For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn! Fall on your knees! O hear the angel voices! O night divine, O night when Christ was born! O night, O holy night, O night divine! 2 Led by the light of faith serenely beaming, With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand. So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming, Here came the Wise Men from Orient land. The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger, In all our trials born to be our Friend. He knows our need— to our weakness is no stranger. Behold your King, before Him lowly bend! Behold your King, before Him lowly bend! 3 Truly He taught us to love one another; His law is love and His gospel is peace. Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother, And in His name all oppression shall cease. Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we; Let all within us praise His holy name. Christ is the Lord! O praise His name forever! His pow’r and glory evermore proclaim! His pow’r and glory evermore proclaim! Scripture: Luke 2:7 Languages: English Tune Title: CANTIQUE DE NOEL
