Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee

Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee

God of glory, Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee
Opening to the sun above
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness
Drive the dark of doubt away
Giver of immortal gladness
Fill us with the light of day
All thy works with joy surround Thee
Earth and heaven reflect Thy rays
Stars and angels sing around Thee
Center of unbroken praise
 Field and and forest
Vale and mountain
Flowery meadow, flashing sea
Chanting bird and flowing fountain
Call us to rejoice in Thee
Thou art giving and forgiving
Ever blessing ever blessed
Wellspring of the joy of living
Ocean depth of happy rest
Thou the Father Christ our Brother
All who live in love are Thine
Teach us how to love each other
Lift us to the joy divine
Mortals join the mighty chorus
Which the morning stars began
Father Love is reigning o’er us
Brother love binds man to man
Ever singing march we onward
Victors in the midst of strife
Joyful music lifts us sunward
In the triumph song of life
O Come, All Ye Faithful
O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant
O come ye, o come ye to Bethlehem
O come and behold Him, born the King of
Angels
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
 Sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation
— Sing, all ye citizens of heav’n above
Glory to God, Glory in the highest
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant
O come ye, o come ye to Bethlehem
O come and behold Him, born the King of
Angels
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
O come, let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
In Christ Alone (My Hope Is Found)
 In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light my strength,
my song
This cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
 What heights of love,
what depths of peace
When fears are stilled when strivings cease
My comforter, my all in all
Here in the love of Christ I stand
 In Christ alone,
who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
 'Til on that cross, as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ, I live
 There in the ground,
His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain Then
bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave He rose again
 And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost it's grip on me
For I am His, and He is Mine
Bought with the precious
blood of Christ
 No guilt in life,
no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
 No power of hell,
no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ
I stand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ
I stand
