O COME, O COME EMMANUEL (Sunday 9am & 5pm)
O come, O come, Emmanuel,
and ransom captive Israel,
that mourns in lonely exile here,
until the Son of God appear.
Refrain
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
shall come to you, O Israel.
O come, true wisdom from on high,
and order all things far and nigh:
to us the path of knowledge show
and teach us in her ways to go. Refrain
O come, O come, great Lord of might;
in ancient times of Sinai’s height
You gave Your chosen tribes the law,
in cloud and majesty and awe. Refrain
O come, the branch of Jesse,
free Your children from all tyranny;
from depths of hell Your people save
and give them vict’ry o’er the grave. Refrain

READY THE WAY (Sunday 9am)
Refrain
Ready the way, ready the way,
ready the way of the Lord.
Make straight the road, raise the valleys,
and mountains make low.
Turning from sin, let the broken be whole,
and ready the way of the Lord. Refrain
As we wait for you,
give us the strength to walk in your truth,
so we may love more like you
and ready the way for you, Lord. Refrain
Let us see your face;
in our hearts we prepare a place.
Come bring this world your mercy and grace
as we ready the way for you, Lord. Refrain

ALL THAT I AM (Sunday 5pm)
All that I am, all that I do,
all that I’ll ever have,

Take and sanctify these gifts
for your honour, Lord.
Knowing that I love and serve You
is enough reward.
All that I am, all that I do,
all that I’ll ever have,
I offer now to You.
All that I dream, all that I pray,
all that I’ll ever make,
I give to You this day. Refrain

Now He lives, our glorious king: Alleluia!

Once He died our souls to save: Alleluia!
where’s your victory, O grave? Alleluia!
Soar we now where Christ has led: Alleluia
following our exalted head: Alleluia!

LO! HE COMES WITH CLOUDS DESCENDING (Sunday 9am)
Lo! He comes with clouds descending,
once for salvation slain;
thousand thousands saints attending,
swell the triumph of His train:
Alleluia! alleluia! alleluia!
Christ the Lord returns to reign.
Ev’ry eye shall now behold Him
robed in dreadful majesty;
those who set at naught and sold Him,
pierced and nailed Him to the tree,
deeply wailing, deeply wailing, deeply wailing,
shall the true Messiah see.

EMMANUEL (Sunday 9am)
Refrain
Come, come, Emmanuel!
Son of God, appear.
Heaven and earth, rejoice!
Salvation is drawing near.
Salvation is drawing near.
O come, O come, Emmanuel,
and ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here
until the Son of God appear. Refrain
O come, O rod of Jesse’s stem
From every foe deliver them.
That trust your mighty power to save
and give them victory o’er the grave. Refrain
O, come desire of nations, bind
in one the hearts of all mankind;
O, bid our sad division cease,
and be for us the Prince of Peace. Refrain
Rejoice, Emmanuel!
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
Rejoice Emmanuel!
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

CHRIST BE OUR LIGHT (Sunday 5pm)
Longing for light, we wait in darkness.
Longing for truth, we turn to you.
Make us Your own, Your holy people,
Light for the world to see.
Refrain
Christ be our light! Shine in Your hearts.
Shine through the darkness. Christ be our light!
Shine in your Church gathered today.
Longing for peace, our world is troubled.
Longing for hope, many despair.
Your word alone has pow’r to save us,
Make us Your living voice. Refrain
Longing for food, many are hungry.
Longing for water, many still thirst.
Make us Your bread, broken for others,
shared until all are fed. Refrain
