We are glad that we have a Father to trust.
We are glad that we have a Father to rely upon.
Where was Jesus born?
Where was He born?
Bethlehem, the city of wonder.
That is where the Father was born for sure.
Praise, praise, praise be to Him.
We thank Thee, we thank Thee,
We thank Thee for this day,
Gracious Father.
Praise, praise, praise be to Thee,
Merciful Father.

Night of Silence/Silent Night
Holy night, cold are the people, winter of life
We tremble in shadows this old endless night
Frozen in the snow lie roses sleeping
Flowers that will echo the sunrise
Fire of hope is our only warmth
Weary, it’s flame will be dying soon.
Voice in the distance, call in the night
On wind you enfold us You speak of the light
Gentle on the ear you whisper softly
Rumors of a dawn so embracing
Breathless love awaits darkened souls
Soon will we know of the morning
Spirit among us, shine like the star
Your light that guides shepherds and kings from afar
Shimmer in the sky so empty, lonely
Rising in the warmth of your Son’s love
Star unknowing of night and day
Spirit we wait of your loving Son.
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night
Darkness flies, all is light;
Shepherds hear the angels sing,
“Alelluia! Hail the king!
Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born.
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Go, Tell It On the Mountain
Refrain:
Go, tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere.
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.
1) While shepherds kept their watching
O’er silent flocks by night,
Behold thru-out the heavens
There shone a holy light.
2) The shepherds feared and trembled
When lo! above the earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed our Savior’s birth.
3) Down in a lowly manger
The humble Christ was born,
And God sent us salvation
That blessed Christmas morn.
