2 A Distant Voice (Lyrics) Words by Randy Vader Music by Jay Rouse Arranged by Jay Rouse A distant voice from a barren land; Let all rejoice, obey His command. Level the mountains, straighten the roads; Tell the world, let everyone know: The waiting has ended, His Kingdom at hand; Redemption is dawning as the Father has planned. The Savior is coming, the promise is sealed, His power and glory no longer concealed And the glory of the Lord, yes, the glory of the Lord, The glory of the Lord is soon to be revealed. God s only Son has come to this place; Eternal cloaked in time and space. Angel choirs announce His birth, Joy to all and peace on this earth. The waiting has ended, His Kingdom at hand; Redemption is dawning as the Father has planned. The Savior is coming, the promise is sealed, His power and glory no longer concealed And the glory of the Lord, yes, the glory of the Lord, The glory of the Lord The Savior is coming, the promise is sealed, His power and glory no longer concealed And the glory of the Lord, yes, the glory of the Lord, The glory of the Lord is soon to be revealed.

5 Mary s Hope (Lyrics) Words by Rose Aspinall and Randy Vader Music by Jay Rouse In the quiet of this moment, Whispered prayers are what I sing. I am blessed beyond all measure For the wonder that You bring. I know I have been chosen, Yet I know I m just a girl. Now my joyful tears fall down On the Hope of all the world. May You know the peace You promise As You hear a higher call. May You know Your Father s pleasure As the Chosen One of all. May You find the strength to take You To wherever You must be And when You need some peace and comfort, Find Your way back home to me. Find Your way back to me, When You feel all alone. For wherever You are, You can always come home. Now the eventide is silent; Nestle close, my dearest One. For my heart is overflowing. Thank You, God, for our Son. Rest, little Yeshua, You are safe now from all harm And my only Hope in this world is cradled in my arms PraiseGathering Music (Admin. by Music Services. All Rights

7 Carol of the Kings (Lyrics) Words by Randy Vader Music by M. Leontovich Kings from afar follow the star throughout the night, led by the Light. Wise men all three, for they can see wonders and signs, as Heaven shines. Gifts for the King their offering, gold they present, myrrh, frankincense. Glory, glory to the King of kings. All glory, glory to the King of kings! For on this glad morn, Jesus is born. Joy to the earth; welcome His birth! We three kings of Orient are, bearing gifts we traverse afar. Field and fountain, moor and mountain following yonder star. Born a King on Bethlehem s plain, Gifts we bring to crown Him again, King forever, ceasing never Over us all to reign! Glorious now behold Him arise, King and God and Sacrifice; Alleluia, alleluia! Sounds through the earth and skies! On this glad morn, Jesus is born. Joy to the earth; welcome His birth! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! 2006 PraiseGathering Music (Admin. by Music Services. wwwmusicservices.org). All Rights

8 O Holy Night (Lyrics) Music by John S. Dwight Music by Adolphe C. Adam O holy night the stars are brightly shining, It is the night of the dear Savior s birth. Long lay the world in sin and error pining, Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth. A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices, For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn! Fall on your knees! O hear the angel voices! O night divine! O night when Christ was born! O night, O holy night, O night divine! Truly He taught us to love one another; His law is Love and His gospel is Peace; Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother, And in His Name, all oppression shall cease. Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we; Let all within us praise His holy name! Christ is the Lord! O praise His name forever! His power and glory evermore proclaim! His power and glory evermore proclaim! Fall on your knees! O hear the angel voices! O night divine, O night when Christ was born! O night, divine, O night, O night divine. O, holy night, O holy night PraiseGathering Music. (Admin. by Music Services. All Rights

9 The First Noel (Lyrics) English Carol English Melody The first Noel the angel did say was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay In fields where they lay keeping their sheep, on a cold winter s night that was so deep. Noel, noel! Noel, noel! Born is the King of Israel! They looked up and saw a star shining in the east, beyond them far; And to the earth it gave great light and so it continued both day and night. Noel, sing noel. Noel, noel, sing noel, noel. Then let us all with one accord sing praises to our Heavenly Lord, that hath made Heaven and earth of naught and with His blood mankind hath bought! Noel, noel! Noel, noel! Born is the King, born is the King, born is the King of Israel! Sing we all Noel! Sing we Noel! 2010 PraiseGathering Music. (Admin. by Music Services. All Rights
