Psalm 85:4-7
Restore us again, O God of our salvation,
and put away your indignation toward us!
5 Will you be angry with us forever?
Will you prolong your anger to all generations?
6 Will you not revive us again,
that your people may rejoice in you?
7 Show us your steadfast love, O Lord,
and grant us your salvation.
Come Thou Long Expected Jesus
Come, Thou long-expected Jesus, born to set Thy people free;
from our fears and sins release us; let us find our rest in Thee.
Israel’s strength and consolation, hope of all the earth Thou art;
dear desire of every nation, joy of every longing heart.
Come to earth to taste our sadness, he whose glories knew no end;
by his life he brings us gladness, our Redeemer, Shepherd, Friend.
Leaving riches without number, born within a cattle stall;
this the everlasting wonder, Christ was born the Lord of all.
Born Thy people to deliver, born a child, and yet a King,
born to reign in us forever, now Thy gracious kingdom bring.
By Thine own eternal Spirit rule in all our hearts alone;
by Thine own sufficient merit, raise us to Thy glorious throne.
Psalm 23: Surely Goodness Surely Mercy
The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want
In green pastures He makes me lie down
He restores my soul and leads me on for His name
For His great name
Surely goodness, surely mercy
Right beside me all my days
And I will dwell in Your house forever
And bless Your holy name
You prepare a table right before me
In the presence of my enemies
Though the arrow flies and the terror of night
Is at my door, I’ll trust you Lord
Surely goodness, surely mercy
Right beside me all my days
And I will dwell in Your house forever
And bless Your holy name
Even though I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil
Even though I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death
You are on my side
Even though I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil
Even though I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death
You are on my side
Surely goodness, surely mercy
Right beside me all my days
And I will dwell in Your house forever
And bless Your holy name
Scripture Reading—Isaiah 9:6-7
For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given;
and the government shall be upon his shoulder,
and his name shall be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and of peace
there will be no end,
Leaning on the Everlasting Arms
What a fellowship, what a joy divine,
leaning on the everlasting arms;
what a blessedness, what a peace is mine,
leaning on the everlasting arms.
Leaning, leaning,
safe and secure from all alarms;
leaning, leaning,
leaning on the everlasting arms.
O how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way,
leaning on the everlasting arms;
O how bright the path grows from day to day,
leaning on the everlasting arms.
What have I to dread, what have I to fear,
leaning on the everlasting arms?
I have blessed peace with my Lord so near,
leaning on the everlasting arms.
