Join us on a musical journey through the Seasons of Christ: Advent. The King Shall Come (1859th year of our Lord) The king shall come when morning dawns, and light triumphant breaks. When beauty gilds the eastern hills, and life to joy awakes. Not as of old, a little child, to bear and fight and die, Crowned with glory like the sun that lights the morning sky. O brighter than the glorious morn, shall that fair morning be, When Christ our Lord in beauty comes and we his face shall see. The king shall come when morning dawns, and earth's dark night is past, O haste the rising of that morn: forever shall it last.

Join us on a musical journey through the Seasons of Christ: Advent. O Holy Night (1847th year of our Lord) O holy night, the stars are brightly shining It is the night of our dear savior's birth. Long lay the world in sin and error pining, 'til 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 divine, O night divine. Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming, With glowing heart by His cradle we stand. Led by the light of a star sweetly gleaming, Here come the Wise Men from Orient land. The king of kings lay in a lowly manger, In all our trials, born to be our friend. He knows our needs. To our weakness is no stranger. Behold your king: before him lowly bend. Behold your king: before him lowly bend. 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 power and glory evermore proclaim. His power and glory evermore proclaim.

Join us on a musical journey through the Seasons of Christ: Christmas What Child is This (1837th year of our Lord) What child is this who laid to rest on Mary's lap is sleeping, Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, while shepherds watch are keeping? This, this is Christ the King! Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: Haste! Haste to bring him laud, the Babe, the Son of Mary. Why lay he in such mean estate, where ox and ass are feeding. Good Christians fear for sinners here, the silent word is pleading. This, this is Christ the King! Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: Haste! Haste to bring him laud, the Babe, the Son of Mary. So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh. Come peasant, king, to own him. The King of kings salvation brings, let loving hearts enthrone him. This, this is Christ the King! Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: Haste! Haste to bring him laud, the Babe, the Son of Mary.
