This Is Jesus
[tune to “Come Thou Fount]
Night of wonder Still and silent
Heaven’s brilliance from above
Light of glory Pierced the darkness
Mercy pierced my heart with love
This is Jesus King of glory
Here to rescue from the fall
Son of God who Comes to save us
Prince of peace and Lord of all
Oh the mystery Who could fathom
God would leave His Holy throne
For a manger For a sinner
For us all to be His own
This is Jesus King of glory
Here to rescue from the fall
Son of God who Comes to save us
Prince of peace and Lord of all
Rejoice He is with us
Rejoice Hope is here
Rejoice He is with us
Rejoice Hope is here
This is Jesus King of glory
Here to rescue from the fall
Son of God who Comes to save us
Prince of peace and Lord of all
For the hearts so Prone to wander
For these feet so quick to flee
God is here and Love is reaching
For the lost and least of these

Joy Has Dawned
Joy has dawned upon the world,
Promised from creation—
God’s salvation now unfurled,
Hope for ev’ry nation.
Not with fanfares from above,
Not with scenes of glory,
But a humble gift of love—
Jesus born of Mary.
Sounds of wonder fill the sky
With the songs of angels
As the mighty Prince of Life
Shelters in a stable.
Hands that set each star in place,
Shaped the earth in darkness,
Cling now to a mother’s breast,
Vuln’rable and helpless.
Shepherds bow before the Lamb,
Gazing at the glory;
Gifts of men from distant lands
Prophesy the story.
Gold—a King is born today,
Incense—God is with us,
Myrrh—His death will make a way,
And by His blood He’ll win us.
Son of Adam, Son of heaven,
Given as a ransom;
Reconciling God and man,
Christ, our mighty champion!
What a Savior! What a Friend!
What a glorious myst’ry!
Once a babe in Bethlehem,
Now the Lord of hist’ry.”
