PARTS    PARTS-2

1 O come, O come, Immanuel,
and ransom captive Israel
that mourns in lonely exile here
until the Son of God appear.

Refrain:
Rejoice! Rejoice! Immanuel
shall come to you, O Israel.

2 O come, O Wisdom from on high,
who ordered all things mightily;
to us the path of knowledge show
and teach us in its ways to go. Refrain

3 O come, O come, great Lord of might,
who to your tribes on Sinai's height
in ancient times did give the law
in cloud and majesty and awe. Refrain

4 O come, O Branch of Jesse's stem,
unto your own and rescue them!
From depths of hell your people save,
and give them victory o'er the grave. Refrain

Piano     PARTS 
YouTube

People look east the time is near
Of the crowning of the year
Make your house fair as you are able
Trim the hearth and set the table
People look east and sing today
Love
The guest
Is on the way

Furrows be glad
Though earth is bare
One more seed is planted there
Give up your strength
The seed to nourish
That in course the flower may flourish
People look east and sing today
Love
The rose
Is on the way

Birds though you long have ceased to build
guard the nest that must be filled
Even the hour when wings are frozen
God, for fledging time has chosen
People look east and sing today
Love
The bird
Is on the way

Stars
Keep the watch when night is dim
One more light the bowl shall brim
Shining beyond the frosty weather
Bright as the sun and moon together
People look east and sing today
Love
The star
Is on the way

Angels announce with shouts of mirth
Him who brings new life to earth.
Set every peak and valley
Humming with the word
The Lord is coming
People look east and sing today
Love
The Lord
Is on the way

Hymnal 1982 (335): I am the bread of life

Recordings:    Parts     

1 I am the bread of life

They who come to me shall not hunger

They who believe in me shall not thirst

No one can come to me

Unless the Father draw them.

[Refrain]

And I will raise them up

And I will raise them up

And I will raise them up

On the last Day!

2. The bread that I will give
Is my flesh for the life of the world
And they who eat of this bread
They shall live forever,
They shall live forever! [Refrain]

3. Unless you eat
Of the flesh of the Son of Man
And drink of his blood
You shall not have life within you,
You shall not have life within you. [Refrain]

4. I am the resurrection
I am the life
They who believe in me
Even though they die
They shall live forever. [Refrain]

5. Yes, Lord, we believe
That you are the Christ
The Son of God
Who has come
Into the world. [Refrain]
