Thy Kingdom Come, O God

Thy kingdom come, O God, Thy rule, begin
Break with thine iron rod, the chains of sin!
Where is thy reign of peace of purity and love?
When shall all hatred cease, as in the realms above?
Thy kingdom come, O God!
We pray thee, Lord, arise and come in might
Revive our blurry eyes, longing for sight!
Over the lands afar Darkness hovers yet
Arise, O Morning Star, arise and never set
Thy kingdom come, O God!
Thy kingdom come

O come, O come Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lowly exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice, rejoice! Emmanuel, shall come to thee, O Israel
O come, Thou rod of Jesse, free
Thy children from Satan’s tyranny
From depths of Hell Thy people save
And give them victory o’er the grave
Rejoice, rejoice! Emmanuel, shall come to thee, O Israel
O come, Desire of nations, bind
All peoples in one heart and mind
Bid envy, strife and quarrels cease
Fill the whole world with heaven’s peace
Rejoice, rejoice! Emmanuel, shall come to thee, O Israel
Come, Thou long-expected Jesus,
born to set Thy people free
From our fears and sins release us
Let us find our rest in Thee
Israel’s strength and consolation
hope of all the earth Thou art
Dear desire of every nation
joy of every longing heart
Joy to those who long to see thee
Dayspring from on high, appear
Come, thou promised Rod of Jesse
Of thy birth we long to hear
O’er the hills the angels singing
Glad tidings of a birth
“Go to him, your praises bringing
Christ the Lord has come to earth!”
Born Thy people to deliver
Born a child, and yet a King
Born to reign in us forever
Now Thy gracious kingdom bring
By Thine own eternal Spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone
By Thine own sufficient merit
Raise us to Thy glorious throne
Come, Messiah come!

Christ Is Coming
03:19
|

|
Christ is coming! Let creation
From her groans and travail cease
Let the glorious proclamation
Hope restore and faith increase
Christ is coming! Christ is coming!
Come, thou blessed Prince of Peace
Earth can now but tell the story
Of thy bitter cross and pain
She shall yet behold the glory
When thou comest back to reign
Christ is coming! Christ is coming!
Let each heart repeat the strain
With the blessed hope before us
Let no harp remain unstrung
Let the mighty advent chorus
Onward roll from tongue to tongue
Christ is coming! Christ is coming!
Come, Lord Jesus, quickly come

How Long, How Long?
04:34
|
|||
|
How long, how long must we go on
With broken hearts, fumbling in the dark?
How long, how long must we go on
with open wounds, that compound the gloom?
How long must we lament?
When will our wars and chaos end?
How long till you bring peace?
When will you make oppression cease?
When will you make oppression cease?
How long, how long must we go on
with death in wait, stealing life away?
How long till joy shall rise?
When will you wipe our tearful eyes?
How long till we shall sing?
When will you end our suffering?
When will you end our suffering?
We wait, we long, Lord Jesus, come,
With aching groans, filling up our lungs
Our hope, our song, come Lord Jesus, come
Hear our refrain, crying out your name
For we know, when you arrive
Darkness will run from Your great light
Wholeness and justice shall arise
Heaven and earth shall reunite
Heaven and earth shall reunite

The Sky Became A Chorus
02:25
|
|||
|
Tonight the sky was like
Almost any other night
And we shepherds south
of Jerusalem went out
keeping watch of our flocks nearby
Yes, tonight the sky was like
Almost any other night
When out of nowhere, An angel of the Lord
Appeared there, And to us few implored
"Fear not, Fear not, Fear not!"
For tonight in David’s town
The Word become flesh, come down
A savior
And then the sky became a chorus
and they sang:
“Glory to God in the highest,
Peace on earth, good will to men"
and we realized then
that the thing we’d been waiting for was happening
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord

You Were Born To Die
03:39
|
|||
|
Shepherds found the Shepherd of all
Laying in a manger
Wise men found the wisdom of God
In the town of David
The promised Son of David
Long-awaited, You arrived
To a virgin, born a child
Born to reign and reconcile
You were born to die
You were born to die, Jesus Christ
Rulers feared the ruler of all
Your birth, their pow'r endangered
Israel spurned the sent one of God
Their one and only Savior
Could this be the Savior?
Good news of greatest joy
Our cosmic God, a baby boy
The Angel host announce
"Thy Kingdom come, upside down"
Born to give us life
You were born to die

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round you virgin mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heav'n and nature sing
And heav'n and nature sing
And heav'n, and heav'n, and nature sing
No more let sins and sorrows grow
Nor thorns infest the ground
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found
Far as the curse is found
Far as, far as, the curse is found
While shepherds kept their watching
O’er silent flocks by night
Behold! Throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light
Down in a lowly manger
The humble Christ was born
The advent of salvation
That blessed Christmas morn
Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
That Jesus Christ is born
That Jesus Christ…
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 of His love (Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel)
And wonders of His love (Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel)
And wonders of His love, and wonders of His love
And wonders, wonders of His love

Everything Is New

My eyes have seen salvation from The Lord
Prepared for all, revealed for me to see
What once was hidden, no longer mystery
Light has come, the glory of our King
My eyes have seen the power of The Lord
His mighty arm exposed for all to see
He is redemption, He's come for you and me
Victory is here, the glory of our King
Good News, Great Joy
Everything is new
Hallelujah! Everything is new
I long to see the coming of The Lord
His glory on display for all to see
He is Jesus, the advent of our peace
He'll split the clouds, He'll come and set us free
Glory to God in the highest
Hallelujah, sing across the earth
Glory to God in the highest
We sing your praise in all the earth
