Jesus Christ
Born this day
Heaven’s gift
Hell’s dismay
Glories stream
Shepherds quake
God with us
The silence breaks
Peace on earth
Good news, great joy
The King is here
And all rejoice
We will never tire
Singing You have come
Oh, Emmanuel
Holy Son of God
We will lift You up
We will flood the skies
Join the angels’ song
Fill the silent night
Wise men’s feet
Led by light
Beneath the star
Lay Love divine
In darkest hour
Hope arrived
With authority
To pierce the night
Peace on earth
Good news, great joy
The King is here
And all rejoice
Praises rising, earth responding
For this promise now unfolding
Heaven’s gift now in our grasp
Oh Christ has come
He’s come at last
