- 05:02
- Joy shall come to thee
- 05:52
- Shall come to thee Father, tonight we pray that the message of the
- 06:09
- Christmas season would be made loud and clear. The message of a
- 06:15
- Savior born to a people who are lost in sin.
- 06:22
- And our only hope, Father, is in the work of Jesus Christ, his finished work on the cross. And we pray as we celebrate tonight the birth of our
- 06:31
- Savior, we would be reminded, Father, that he is our only hope in this world, in the world to come.
- 06:40
- That we pray that message would be portrayed tonight, and hearts would be changed because of that.
- 06:46

- 25:39
- Lord. Emmanuel. Sing.
- 25:54
- Sing. Glory to the
- 27:15
- Lord. Strangers are leaving the town.
- 28:09
- Hush, it is Joseph and weary men.
- 28:20
- So hopeless and in vain. He is seeking shelter for Mary.
- 28:32
- For she is the blessed and chosen of the
- 28:37
- Lord. Who will bear to us a girl like he.
- 28:43
- Who is this
- 28:48
- King of whom we proudly sing. Christ Jesus the
- 28:58
- Savior. Hush, it is
- 29:30
- Jesus Christ, Son of Mary.
- 29:36
- Whereof their reign is this, whose joy is mixed with all.
- 29:44
- For these are the shepherds and these the magi kings.
- 29:57
- Who have brought to each here before the babe.
- 30:12
- They adorn their King, Jesus the Savior.
- 30:20
- Who are these that march from death unto life.
- 30:31
- These are they who love Jesus the Christ child.
- 30:38
- And how do they triumph over the kings of hell.
- 30:44
- Through the grace of Him, Jesus the Savior.
- 30:57
- Inspired to bring peace. He is here and now,
- 31:24
- Jesus your Savior. In just a certain portion of His.
- 32:34
- He infills fairness. He infills love.
- 33:35
- Shining in His truth.
- 36:54
- He justly sees. He feels true.
- 37:20
- A star there was seen of such glorious love.
- 37:29
- All through angels did sing.
- 37:38
- Carols so sweet of the birth of a
- 37:46
- King. All through the night angels did sing.
- 37:57
- Carols so sweet of the birth of a
- 38:13
- King. His blood is a manger. His Lord is the
- 38:58
- Son of God. So sweet for the
- 44:19
- Christmas days. So sweet for the Christmas days. Of Christmas begin.
- 46:07
- To Thee, the Holy Ghost.
- 46:28
- Peace on the shepherds are back with them.
- 48:27
- We hope you heard the message tonight of the Lord Jesus. And of why He came. And we are thankful for that.
- 48:37
- And we are glad that we can sing of it. Now, we want to invite all of you to the back for some refreshments.
- 48:44
- And cookies and coffee and all kinds of sugary stuff for the kids. And so let's stand and I will pray.
- 48:52
- And you can start when you get back there. All right. So let's pray together. Our Father, we thank
- 49:02
- You that we can sing. That we can call You Father because Your Son, the second person of the Trinity, took on human nature in order that He might save us.
- 49:15
- We're thankful that He revealed You to us. That He paid the ransom price for our sin.
- 49:23
- That He has promised to make all things new. And that someday when
- 49:29
- He comes, His glory will wash the earth. And we will live in a new, renewed earth.
- 49:37
- All of this because of what Jesus did on that day. And so,
- 49:43
- Father, we ask that You would help us to reflect on that. And Father, not to pass it over too quickly.
- 49:50
- But to give some thought to the fact that without the Incarnation, we would be lost and the world would continue in darkness.
- 49:58
- Thank You for these who are here tonight. Thank You for the opportunity of ministering Your Word by music.
