All the earth rejoice

Your Creator reigns

As the only awesome God

The Alpha and the Omega

Who was, is, and is to come

 Let the oceans roar

and the mountains sing

He provides for all He has made

So be comforted

as He rules with grace

Rejoice, all the earth, rejoice

 All the world rejoice

For the baby comes

As a humble prince in the night

The Word made flesh, Emmanuel

The Everlasting Light

 Let the warmth of heaven

reach the coldest heart

With the gospel of His grace

For His heel will bruise

the serpent’s head

Rejoice, all the world, rejoice

 All the church rejoice

For your King returns

On a white horse wearing a crown

He will break the sky

with the angel’s shout

Descending from the clouds

 Then the dead will rise

from the land and sea

All His people will ascend

We will reign with Him for eternity

Rejoice, all the church, rejoice

 Then the dead will rise

from the land and sea

All His people will ascend

We will reign with Him for eternity

Rejoice, all the church, rejoice

Rejoice

 How sweet the day

when Christ was born

When God Himself

took human form

He came to wash

our sins away

Our death to die,

our debt to pay

 How sweet the day

when Hope appeared

The One who frees

us from our fears

He came to break

the power of sin

And give us power

to follow Him
 Oh sing for joy,

lift up your voice

Let us sing for joy,

the whole earth rejoice

Let us sing for joy to the Son

For Jesus our Savior has come

How sweet the day

when Christ returns

We’ll see the One

for whom we yearn

Then we’ll look full

upon His face

Our hearts will burst

with songs of praise

 Oh sing for joy,

lift up your voice

Let us sing for joy,

the whole earth rejoice

Let us sing for joy to the Son

For Jesus our Savior has come

 Oh sing for joy,

lift up your voice

Let us sing for joy,

the whole earth rejoice

Let us sing for joy to the Son

For Jesus our Savior has come

Come, Lord Jesus, come.

Come, Lord Jesus, come.

Come, Lord Jesus, come.

How Sweet the Day

Advent Reading - God’s Promise: The Greatest Proof of All

Last week we lit the first advent candle. We were

reminded of the message of hope to a struggling
nation, the hope of Jesus our Savior. This week we
light the second advent candle, and see God’s
promise, the greatest proof of all.
Isaiah 7:10-14

Again the Lord spoke to Ahaz, “Ask a sign of the Lord

your God; let it be deep as Sheol or high as heaven.”
But Ahaz said, “I will not ask, and I will not put the
Lord to the test.” And he said, “Hear then, O house of
David! Is it too little for you to weary men, that you
weary my God also? Therefore the Lord himself will
give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and
bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
God sent the prophet Isaiah to Ahaz to calm his fears
of attack and he told Ahaz not to worry; God would
protect him. Ahaz was afraid to ask God for a sign,
but God wanted to give him a sign. So God spoke
through Isaiah and gave Ahaz the greatest sign that
has ever been given.
Ahaz had no idea what the sign meant, but today we
know that the virgin, Isaiah spoke of, was Mary, and
her Son was Jesus, Immanuel, God with us. God was
giving the greatest sign, that He was who he said he
was. Jesus proved that he was God when after dying
on the cross, he rose again from the dead, just as he
said.
As we rejoice in the fulfilled promised of God; we wait
with assured hope for the promises of God to be
completed, and for Christ to come again.
 Every valley shall be exalted

and every mountain and hill made low.

Every valley shall be exalted

and every mountain and hill made low.

The crooked shall be made straight,

The crooked shall be made straight,

and the rough places a plain,

and the rough places,

the rough places shall be a plain.

 And the glory, and the glory

of the Lord shall be revealed.

And the glory, and the glory

of the Lord shall be revealed,

the Lord shall be revealed!

 Every valley shall be exalted

and every mountain and hill made low.

Every valley shall be exalted

and every mountain and hill made low.

 And the glory, and the glory

of the Lord shall be revealed.

And the glory, and the glory

of the Lord shall be revealed,

the Lord shall be revealed!

Every Valley

The Son of God came down

and laid aside His crown

Born without great renown,

this Sovereign One

All holiness and might,

all glory shining bright

Have come to earth this night

in Mary’s son

O come, let us adore

 O Christ the Lord,

our hope and Savior

Son of God yet made like us

O Christ the Lord,

our King adored

Born a child, our Lord Jesus

 Messiah born so small,

asleep in cattle stall

Come to redeem our fall,

nailed to a tree

This tiny, helpless child

through death would reconcile

The holy God and vile,

His grace so free

O come, let us adore

 O Christ the Lord,

our hope and Savior

Son of God yet made like us

O Christ the Lord,

our King adored

Born a child, our Lord…

 O Christ the Lord,

our hope and Savior

Son of God yet made like us

O Christ the Lord,

our King adored

Born a child, our Lord Jesus

The Son of God Came Down

 Let the glory of the Lord

forever be our joy

May redemption

be the theme of our song

For by grace we have been saved

And by grace we shall proclaim

To the corners of the earth

that Christ has come

 Let the nations be glad

Let the peoples rejoice

For salvation belongs to our God

Let the whole earth be filled

With the praises of the Lord

For salvation belongs to our God

Let the nations be glad

 Through the ages gone before

Through the trial and the sword

Many saints and martyrs conquered,

though they died

Still we're holding out the cross

Crossing oceans, suffering loss

Shall endure all things

to win the crown of life

 Let the nations be glad

Let the peoples rejoice

For salvation belongs to our God

Let the whole earth be filled

With the praises of the Lord

For salvation belongs to our God

Let the nations be glad

 As Your holy church goes forth

In the Holy Spirit's power

With the glories of the gospel to explain

Now we pray Your kingdom come

And we pray Your will be done

For the honor and the glory

of Your name
 Let the nations be glad

Let the peoples rejoice

For salvation belongs to our God

Let the whole earth be filled

With the praises of the Lord

For salvation belongs to our God

Let the nations be glad

Let the nations be glad

Let the nations be glad

Let the Nations Be Glad
