He Did Come, the Promised Savior

He did come, the promised Savior; born to set His people free!
From our sins and fears released us, now we've found our rest in Thee!
Israel's strength and consolation, Lord of all the earth Thou art!
Dear desire of ev'ry nation, joy of ev'ry longing heart!

Born His people to deliver, born a Child and yet a King;
Born to reign through us forever, we His present Kingdom sing!
By His own eternal Spirit, ruling through His pow'r alone.
By His all-sufficient merit, raised us to glorious throne!

Joy to the World



Joy to the world! The Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King!
Let every heart,
Prepare Him room!
And heav'n and God's earth sing,
And heav'n and God's earth sing,
And heav'n, and heav'n and God's earth sing!

Joy to the world, the Savior reigns!
Let Saints their songs employ!
While fields and floods
Rocks, hills and plains,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, Repeat, the sounding joy!

He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove,
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love;
And wonders of His love;
And wonders, wonders of His love.


No more must sin and sorrow grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He came to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse was found,
Far as the curse was found,
Far as, far as the curse was found.



Rejoice! Rejoice in the Most High,
While Israel spreads abroad:
Like stars that glitter in the sky,
And all men ever bow the knee,
And ever worship God,
And ever, and ever worship God.

Blessed Assurance

Blessed Assurance, Jesus is mine;
Oh what a state of glory sublime
Inherited salvation, and purchased of God,
I'm born of His Spirit and washed in His blood.

refrain

This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long!
This my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long!

Perfect remission, perfect delight,
I've been forgiven, now Christ is my Light!
He has descended, brought from above,
Our Father's mercy, His perfect love!

( refrain )

Perfect redemption, all is at rest,
I in my Savior am happy and blessed!
Working and serving, our Strength above!
Filled with His goodness, sharing His love!

( refrain )

Morning has Broken

Morning has broken, like the first morning,
Blue-bird has spoken, like the first bird.
Praise for the singing! Praise for the morning!
Praise for them springing, fresh from the Word!

Sweet the rain's new fall, sun-lit from heaven,
Like the first dew-fall, on the first grass,
Praise for the sweetness, of the new Garden,
Sprung in completeness, where His feet pass.

Jesus has spoken, like the first morning,
New life has woken, brought by the Word;
Praise for communion, praise for the Cov'nant,
Praise we do offer, our precious Lord!

Ours is the sunlight, ours is the morning.
Born of the True Light, Eden saw play,
Praise, adoration, praise ev'ry morning,
For God's new creation, and the new day!
