Entrance | We Three Kings
We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain
Following yonder star
O___star of wonder
star of night
star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading
still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light
Glorious now behold Him arise
King and God and sacrifice
“Alleluia, Alleluia”
Sounds through the earth and skies
O___star of wonder
star of night
star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading
still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light

R./ Lord, ev’ry nation on earth will adore You, O God
Lord, ev’ry nation on earth will adore You

Endow our leaders, O God, with Your judgment
And with Your justice on ev’ryone
For You govern Your people with justice
and Your afflicted ones with righteousness
R./ Lord, ev’ry nation on earth will adore You, O God

and from the river to the ends of the earth

All other powers shall pay their homage
and ev’ry nation shall serve the Lord
R./ Lord, ev’ry nation on earth will adore You, O God
Lord, ev’ry nation on earth will adore You
Offertory | Christmas Offering
Over the skies of Bethlehem appeared a star
While angels sang to lowly shepherds
Three wise men seeking truth traveled from afar
Hoping to find the child from Heaven
Falling on their knees
they bowed before the humble Prince of Peace
I bring an offering of worship to my King
No one on earth deserves the praises that I sing
Jesus, may You receive the honor that You’re due
O Lord, I bring an offering to You
(I bring an offering to You)
The sun cannot compare to the glory of Your love
There is no shadow in Your presence
No mortal man would dare to stand before Your throne
before the Holy One of Heaven
It’s only by Your blood
and it’s only through Your mercy Lord, I come
I bring an offering of worship to my King
No one on earth deserves the praises that I sing
Jesus, may You receive the honor that You’re due
O Lord, I bring an offering to You
I bring an offering of worship to my King
No one on earth deserves the praises that I sing
Jesus, may You receive the honor that You’re due
O Lord, I bring an offering to You
O Lord, I bring an offering to You
O Lord, I bring an offering to You

Love laid in a lowly manger
Love has come to save
