To save all men.

As the children of his light,
Be a worthy celebration of his
Blessed birth tonight.

3. God Will Save  Listen...    Quick MIDI
God has loved you with an everlasting love;
Long before you were created, it was there.
So he gives this promise just for you,
And for all your children, too.
He will clothe you in his perfect righteousness;
He will show you just how very much he cares.
On your own, you can't come to him, so he comes to you.
God will save!

For God so loved the world, that he gave
His one and only son,
That whoever believes in him
Shall not perish,
But have eternal life.
 
God has loved you with an everlasting love;
Long before you were created, it was there.
So he gives this promise just for you,
And for all your children, too.
He will clothe you in his perfect righteousness;
He will show you just how very much he care.
On your own, you can't come to him, so he comes to you.
God will save!
God will save!

4. Mary's Song  Listen...    Quick MIDI
My soul, praise the Lord and my spirit, rejoice in God my Savior!
For he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant.
From now on, all generations will call me blessed;
For the Mighty One has done great things for me;
Holy is his name.

His mercy extends to those who fear him,
In every generation.
He has performed mighty deeds with his arms,
Scattered those with prideful thought.
He has filled the hungry with good things,
But has sent the rich away empty.
He has helped his servant, Israel;
So he shall forever!

My soul, praise the Lord and my spirit, rejoice in God my Savior!
For he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant.
From now on, all generations will call me blessed;
For the Mighty One has done great things for me;
Holy is his name.
For the Mighty One has done great things for me;
Holy is his name!

5. There was No Room  Listen...    Quick MIDI
They tried to find a place to stay,
But at the door were turned away.
For God's own son
Who had come
To take away all sin,
There was no room,
There was no room,
there was no room in the inn.

If he should knock upon your door,
Would it be like it was before,
When for the One
Who had come
To take away all sin,
There was no room,
There was no room,
There was no room in the inn.

Jesus Christ is born tonight,
Angels are a-singing.
Shepherds heard and shook with fright;
To each other clinging.

Glory! Glory! Glory in the highest!
Glory! Glory! Glory be to God!

Angels are a-singing.
Go to David's town and see
Christ, the newborn Kingling.

This is where God's son does lay,
Angels are a-singing,
Wrapped in cloth on manger hay,
With the cattle mingling.

Angels are a singing,
Christ, the Savior of mankind,
Hheaven's peace is bringing.

8. The Manger Holds the Lamb  Listen...    Quick MIDI
Behold the humble manger where the baby rests his head.
It will soon become the altar where his gentle heart is bled.
For the manger holds the Lamb, on whose heart our sins are laid.
And the Lamb becomes the sacrifice for the sheep who all have strayed. 

Though the baby now is sleeping in the comfort of his bed,
Soon his eyelids will be closing on the cross of death, instead.
For the manger holds the Lamb, on whose heart our sins are laid.
And the Lamb becomes the sacrifice for the sheep who all have strayed. 

Do not weep and do not mourn the loss of your sins that caused him pain,
For beyond the manger and the cross, he has risen up to reign!
Greater truth was never told, nor achievement ever won;
Greater love was never shown to us than this deed that God has done!

From Greenland's icy mountains,
To India's coral strand,
Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born!

REFRAIN:

Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere!
Go tell it on the mountains that Jesus Christ is born!

If you cannot speak like angels,
If you cannot preach like Paul,
You can tell the love of Jesus,
You can say he died for all.

REFRAIN: 

I am trusting you, Lord Jesus,
Trusting only you.
Trusting you for full salvation,
Free and true.

REFRAIN:

Jesus loves me , this I know,
For the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to him belong;
They are weak,
They are weak but he is strong.

REFRAIN:

Lift we then our voices,
Swell the mighty flood.
Louder, still and louder,
Praise the precious blood, and
