1) Intro: “Christmas Day”

Joy to the world on a night like no other
Emmanuel, God is with us
Beggars and kings let us come and adore Him
Rest in His peace and bow before Him

Chorus:
Sing all ye people the Lord Almighty reigns
Sing every creature of God come bless his name
For He is good, for He is good
He was born to conquer the grave
Light of the world, the reason for Christmas day

Stars we have seen over deserts and oceans
The darkness was deep, but never hopeless
Redemption came and his name is Jesus

Chorus

From the mountains
we will shout it out
For the Lord our
God Almighty reigns

He is with us,
He is with us now
For the Lord
our God Almighty reigns x2

Chorus

Joy to the world,

the Lord is come
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart

nature sing x2
And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing

Joy to the Earth,
the Saviour reigns
Let all their songs employ
While fields and floods,
rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy x2
Repeat, repeat,
the sounding joy

Joy, unspeakable joy!
Overflowing well
No tongue can tell
Joy, unspeakable joy!
Rises in my soul,
never lets me go

He rules the world
with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love x2
And wonders, wonders,
of His love.

Joy, unspeakable joy!
Overflowing well
No tongue can tell
Joy, unspeakable joy!
Rises in my soul,
never lets me go

5) Herders op die ope velde

Herders op die ope velde,
het dié nag die englekoor
met die blye evangelie,
uit die hemel aangehoor

Kom, loof die Heer, loof die Heer, loof die Here God
in die hoogste heem’le.
Kom, loof die Heer, loof die Heer, loof die Here God
in die hoogste hemele.

Met hul harte vol van vreugde, praat hul van die Jesuskind
Herder vir die mens op aarde, wat verdwaaldes soek en vind.

Kom, loof die Heer, loof die Heer, loof die Here God
in die hoogste heem’le.
Kom, loof die Heer, loof die Heer, loof die Here God
in die hoogste hemele.

Kom loof die Heer x2
Laat alles wat asem het
Die Here loof

6) Mary’s boy child

Long time ago in Bethlehem,
so the Holy Bible say
Mary’s boy child, Jesus Christ,
was born on Christmas Day.

Hark now hear the angels sing, a king was born today
And man will live forevermore because of Christmas Day.

While shepherds watched their flock by night,
They saw a bright new shining star;
they heard a choir sing a song
The music seemed to come from afar.

Hark now hear the angels sing, a king was born today
And man will live forevermore because of Christmas Day.

Now Joseph and his wife, Mary,
came to Bethlehem that night,
They found no place to bear her child,
not a single room was in sight.

And then they found a little nook
in a stable all forlorn,
And in a manger cold and dark,
Mary’s little boy was born.

Hark now hear the angels sing, a king was born today
And man will live forevermore because of Christmas Day x2

7) Bible Reading: Isaiah 9:6-7

8) Al was ek nie daar nie

Al was ek nie daar nie,
ek weet dit is waar
Die krip en Maria met
die kindjie by haar

Dis asof die engel
die boodskap nog bring
Van Jesus se vrede
wat harte laat sing x2

Al was ek nie daar nie
ek weet dit is so
Die herders en wyses
het dit eerste geglo
En deur al die jare
bou Jesus Sy kerk
Die Gees en die Woord
kom geloof in ons werk

Al was ek nie daar nie,
ek weet dit is waar
Die krip en Maria met die kindjie by haar
Dis asof die engel die boodskap nog bring
Van Jesus se vrede
wat harte laat sing

9) Oh holy night / His Name

Oh holy night,
the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Saviour’s birth

Long lay the world
in sin and error pining
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope,
the weary soul rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn

Fall on your knees,
oh, hear the angel voices
Oh night divine,
oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine,
oh night, oh night divine.

(Repeat from the top)

Your Name shall be
wonderful, Counselor
Your Name shall be
everlasting Father
Your Name shall be
Prince of Peace, mighty God
Your Name shall be Emmanuel

10) Jesus groot bo almal

Jesus, groot bo almal
Sterke Verlosser,
Magtige Heer en Heiland
Immanuël, God is met ons
Reddende Here, Lewende Woord

En ek wil U naam besing,
vir U my lewe bring
En ek wil U naam besing,
heilige Heer

11) Kom kinders besing

Kom kinders besing
met ‘n vrolike stem
Die wonder van God
in die stad Bethlehem
Want daar is die Heiland
gebore die nag
Die hoop van die wêreld
deur eeue verwag

Geringe klein dorpie
in duister gehul
‘n Heilswoord is deur
die geboorte vervul
Die lig van die wêreld,
die God’like kind
Is Jesus in wie ons die
saligheid vind

Ons bring soos die herders
en engele weer
Aan Hom alle hulde,
ons Heiland en Heer
Verlos van die sonde,
besing ons tesaam
Die roem en die eer van sy heerlike Naam

12) Bible Reading: Psalm 22:23-27

Holy forever

15) You are worthy of it all

All the saints and angels,
bow before Your throne
All the elders cast
their crowns before the
Lamb of God and sing

You are worthy of it all
You are worthy of it all
From You are all things,
and to You are all things
You deserve the glory

Day and night,
night and day
let incense arise x4

We exalt Thee x3
Oh Lord

16) Ek weet verseker

Ek weet verseker,
dat Jesus leef
Hy het my sonde
uit liefde vergeef
Ek was verlore,
maar deur Sy bloed
Is daar nou vrede
in my gemoed

Hy is my leidsman,
Hy laat my leef
Hy is oorwinnaar,
Hy is die Heer
Selfs as ek struikel
en het berou
Sal Hy vergewe, Hy bly getrou

Lig is Sy las en sag is Sy juk
Hy gee vermoeides
die ware geluk
Uit Sy genade, liefde en trou
Weet hul hoe God
Sy kinders behou

Hy is my leidsman,
Hy laat my leef
Hy is oorwinnaar,
Hy is die Heer
Selfs as ek struikel
en het berou
Sal Hy vergewe,
Hy bly getrou

18) Oorwinningslied

Ek sien in my gees die glorie
en die almag van die Heer
Die Allerhoogste wat in liefde oor sy Koninkryk regeer
Hy het belowe aan die einde op die wolke kom Hy weer
Hy is Koning, Hy regeer!

Loof Hom, prys Hom Halleluja, Loof Hom, prys Hom Halleluja
Loof Hom, prys Hom Halleluja, Hy is Koning, Hy regeer!

Die Here is ons Vesting
wat vir altyd sal bly staan
Hy beskerm elke mens wat in geloof na Hom toe gaan
Hy’s ons skuiling,
Hy’s ons wapen,
Hy het die vyand
reeds verslaan
Hy is die Rots wat ewig staan

Loof Hom, prys Hom Halleluja, Loof Hom, prys Hom Halleluja
Loof Hom, prys Hom Halleluja, Hy is Koning, Hy regeer! X2

Welkom, o stille nag van vrede,
Onder die suiderkruis,
Wyl stemme uit die ou verlede oor sterrehemel ruis:

Kersfees kom x2
Gee aan God die eer.
Skenk ons ‘n helder Somerkersfees
In hierdie land, o Heer.

Hoor jy hoe sag die klokke beier, in eeue-oue taal.
Kyk, selfs die nagtelike swye
vertel die ou verhaal.

Kersfees kom x2
Gee aan God die eer.
Skenk ons ‘n helder Somerkersfees
In hierdie land, o Heer.

Voel jy ook nou Sy warm liefde as ons die dag gedenk,
toe Hy sy Seun aan ons gegee het
– ons grootste Kersgeskenk.

Gee aan God die eer.
Skenk ons ‘n helder Somerkersfees
In hierdie land, o Heer.
