2. He is Immanuel

 These Christmas preparations
Are not the kind we know.
These plans were made in heaven,
So many years ago.
It’s written in the Bible,
A story known so well –
Heaven’s greatest gift would come,
He is Immanuel!

CHORUS

Hallelujah,
Hear the song of heaven in this place.
Hallelujah,
For the love of God has come to us today.

The Prophets through the ages,
They told of what they saw,
That in the town of David,
A Saviour would be born.
It’s written in the Bible,
A story known so well –
Heaven’s greatest gift would come,
He is Immanuel!

CHORUS

Scripture reading

Boy: The Lord Himself will give you a sign
A Young woman who is pregnant
Will have a son
And will name him ‘Immanuel’,
Which means ‘God is with us’.
(Isaiah 7:14)

Girl: A Child is born to us!
A Son is given to us!
And he will be our ruler.
He will be called, ‘Wonderful Counsellor’,
‘Mighty God’, ‘Eternal Father’,
‘Prince of Peace’.
(Isaiah 9:6)

CHORUS

Hallelujah,
Hear the song of heaven in this place.
Hallelujah,
For the love of God has come to us today.
(Repeat)

Hallelujah, Hallelujah.


3. Do You See What I See?

 Do you hear what I hear?
Said the night wind to the little lamb
Do you see what I see?
(Do you see what I see?)
Way up in the sky, little lamb
Do you see what I see?
(Do you see what I see?)
A star, a star, dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear? (Do you hear what I hear?)
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear? (Do you hear what I hear?)
A song, a song high above the trees
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty King
Do you know what I know? (Do you know what I know?)
In your palace warm, mighty King
Do you know what I know? (Do you know what I know?)
A Child, a Child shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Let us bring him silver and gold

Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say! (Listen to what I say!)
Pray for peace, people, everywhere
Listen to what I say! (Listen to what I say!)
The Child, the Child sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light


4. Mary Rode upon a Donkey

 Mary rode upon a donkey
With husband Joseph by her side.
Mary rode upon a donkey,
And she was anxious for her unborn child.
Then they came to an inn in the middle of the night,
And the inn keeper said I’m so sorry for your plight,
But all I can give you is a stable out the back,
There’s no room in the inn tonight!

And the inn keeper said I’m so sorry for your plight,
But all I can give you is a stable out the back.

There’s no room in the inn tonight!
There’s no room in the inn!
There’s no room in the inn.
In old Bethlehem tonight.
I don’t have a single bed.
The inn keeper said.
There’s no room in the inn tonight.

6. Away in a Manger

Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head
The stars in the bright sky
Looked down where
He lay The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing
The Baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes

I love You, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my side
Until morning is nigh

Be near me, Lord Jesus
I ask You to stay
Close by me forever
And love me I pray

Bless all the dear children
In Your tender care
And fit us for heaven
To live with You there

The King is born

Long time ago in Bethlehem.
Angels singing glory
Mary and Joseph had a baby son.
Angels singing glory

Jesus son of the Most High
Born in Bethlehem that night
In the darkness shines a light.
Angels singing glory

Well the shepherds out in the fields near by
Angels singing glory
See a choir of heaven fill the sky.
Angels singing glory

Jesus son of the Most High
Born in Bethlehem that night
In the darkness shines a light.
Angels singing glory

They found Jesus lying in the straw
Angels singing glory
Should have heard those shepherds praise the Lord.
Angels singing glory

Jesus son of the Most High
Born in Bethlehem that night
In the darkness shines a light
Angels singing glory

Well, what a wonder, what a sight
God's only son is born that night
Come to earth to bring salvation
To every tribe and every nation
(And) that is why God filled the sky
With Angels singing Glory

Chorus Three kings came riding, riding from the east

Verse 1
On their camels coming from afar,
On a special journey,
Through the desert following a star,
Leading them to Bethlehem.

Chorus

Verse 2
On their camels filled with hope and joy
Looking for a stable
Where they’ll find a little baby boy
Sleeping in a manger warm.

Chorus

Verse 3
On their camels causing quite a stir,
Bringing gifts for Jesus,
They have gold and frankincense and myrrh
For He is the Son of God.

Chorus (twice)


11. Who Would Imagine a King

Mommies and daddies always believe
That their little angels are special indeed
And you could grow up to be anything
But who would imagine a king.

A shepherd or teacher is what you could be
Or maybe a fisherman out on the sea
Or maybe a carpenter building things
But who would imagine a king.

It was so clear when the wise men arrived
And the angels were singing your name
That the world would be different 'cause you were alive
That's what heaven stood still to proclaim.

One day an angel said quietly
That soon he would bring something special to me
And of all those wonderful gifts he could bring

Who would imagine, who could imagine
Who would imagine a king.


12. A Gift to You

Everything I am (everything I am)
Everything I'll be (everything I'll be)
I give it to you, Lord (I give it to you, Lord)
And do it thankfully (thankfully)

Every song I sing, every praise
I bring Everything I do is a gift to you

Everything I have (everything I have)
All you've given me (all you've given me)
I give it to you, Lord (I give it to you, Lord)
And do it thankfully (thankfully)

Every song I sing
Every praise I bring, everything I do
Is a gift to you

Everything I am (everything I am)
Everything I'll be (everything I'll be)
I give it to you, Lord (I give it to you, Lord)
And do it thankfully (thankfully)

Every song I sing
Every praise I bring, everything I do
Is a gift to you

Is a gift to you


13. There was a Little Baby

There was a little baby
Oh my Lord
There was a little baby
Oh my Lord
There was a little baby
Oh my Lord
Way down in Bethlehem
Way down in Bethlehem

They laid him in a manger
Oh my Lord
They laid him in a manger
Oh my Lord
They laid him in a manger
Oh my Lord
Way down in Bethlehem
Way down in Bethlehem

They named the baby Jesus
Oh my Lord
They named the baby Jesus
Oh my Lord
They named the baby Jesus
Oh my Lord
Way down in Bethlehem
Way down in Bethlehem.

[Piano break] 

There was a little baby
Oh my Lord
There was a little baby
Oh my Lord
There was a little baby
Oh my Lord
Way down in Bethlehem
Way down in Bethlehem.

A new life has come,
Everybody listen.
Spread the word about,
Get the message out,
For a Son is given.

A light has come,
A child is born.

Get the message out,
For a son is given.

15. It’s Christmas

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down
His sweet head
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes
I love thee Lord Jesus, look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle 'til morning is nigh

It's Christmas
The angels are singing
And I know the reason
The Savior is born
It's Christmas
The bells are ringing
And I feel like shouting
Joy to the world

Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask thee to stay
Close by me forever and love me I pray
And bless all the dear children in thy tender care
And fit us for heaven to live with thee there

It's Christmas
The angels are singing
And I know the reason
The Savior is born
Yes, it's Christmas
The bells are ringing
And I feel like shouting
Joy to the world

Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born

It's Christmas
The angels are singing
And I know the reason
The Savior is born
Yes, it's Christmas
The bells are ringing
And I feel like shouting
Joy to the world

Joy to the world
Oh, joy to the world

17. This Christmas Time

This Christmas Time
In a cold stone church, under moon and stars,
People stand as the organ starts,
And the candles flicker into the dark,

This Christmas time.
There’s a child awake in her bed upstairs,
Snuggled up with her teddy bears,
As she thinks of presents she says her prayers,
This Christmas time.

CHORUS

Merry Christmas to you,
Merry Christmas ev’rybody,
Here’s to friends old and new
And to this Christmas time.

In a steamy kitchen a mother stands,
Peeling parsnips and boiling ham,
How she hopes the dinner will go to plan,
This Christmas time.

In an empty street under cloudless skies,
Sits an old man with bundle tied,
And he huddles down for another night,
This Christmas time.
