Verse
All who are thirsty
All who are weak
Come to the fountain
Dip your heart in the stream of life
Let the pain and the sorrow

In the waves of His mercy
As deep cries out to deep

Verse 1
Shame is a prison as cruel as a grave
Shame is a robber and he’s come to take my name
Love is my redeemer lifting me up from the ground
Love is the power where my freedom song is found

Chorus
There ain’t no grave gonna hold my body down
There ain’t no grave gonna hold my body down
When I hear that trumpet sound, I’m gonna rise up out of the ground
There ain’t no grave gonna hold my body down

Verse 2
Fear is a liar with a smooth and velvet tongue
Fear is a tyrant, he’s always telling me to run
Love is resurrection and love is a trumpet sound
Love is my weapon, I’m gonna take my giants down

Verse 3
There was a battle, a war between death and life
There on a tree the Lamb of God was crucified
He went down to hell, He took back every key
He rose up as a lion and He set the captives free

Verse 1
My Jesus, I love thee, I know thou art mine;
For thee all the follies of sin I resign;
My gracious Redeemer, my Saviour art thou;
If ever I loved thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.

And purchased my pardon on Calvary's tree;

In mansions of glory and endless delight,
I'll ever adore thee in heaven so bright;
I'll sing with the glittering crown on my brow:

O Little Town Of Bethlehem, sung by the St Peters 2020 Virtual Choir.

Words by Phillips Brooks
Music arranged by Chris Taylor

Verse 1
O little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by.
Yet in thy dark streets shineth the everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.

Verse 2
O morning stars, together proclaim the holy birth,
And praises sing to God the King, and peace to men on earth;
For Christ is born of Mary, and gathered all above,
While mortals sleep, the angels keep their watch of wondering love.

Verse 3
How silently, how silently the wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of His heaven.
No ear may hear His coming; but in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive Him still, the dear Christ enters in.

Verse 4
O holy Child of Bethlehem, descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin, and enter in; be born in us today.
We hear the Christmas angels the great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us, our Lord Immanuel!

Shepherds, in the fields abiding, watching o'er your flocks by night,
God with man is now residing, yonder shines the infant light

Verse 3
Saints before the altar bending, watching long in hope and fear,
Suddenly the Lord, descending, in His temple shall appear

Though an infant now we view him, He shall fill his Father's throne,
Gather all the nations to him; every knee shall then bow down

Away in a manger no crib for a bed
The little lord Jesus laid down his sweet head
The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay
The little lord Jesus asleep on the hay

Verse 2
The cattle are lowing the baby awakes
But little lord Jesus no crying he makes
I love you lord Jesus; look down from the sky
And stay by my side until morning is nigh

Verse 1
In the bleak mid-winter frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone
Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow
In the bleak mid-winter long ago

Verse 2
Our God, Heaven cannot hold Him nor earth sustain,
Heaven and earth shall flee away when He comes to reign
In the bleak mid-winter a stable-place sufficed
The Lord God Almighty — Jesus Christ

Verse 3
Angels and Archangels may have gathered there,
Cherubim and seraphim thronged the air
But only His Mother in her maiden bliss
Worshipped the Beloved with a kiss

Verse 4
What can I give Him, poor as I am?
If I were a Shepherd I would bring a lamb
If I were a Wise Man I would do my part
Yet what I can I give Him, give my heart

Verse 1
Once in royal Davids city,
Stood a lowly cattle shed,
Where a mother laid her Baby,
In a manger for His bed:
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ, her little Child.

Verse 2
He came down to earth from heaven,
Who is God and Lord of all,
And His shelter was a stable,
And His cradle was a stall:
With the poor, and mean, and lowly,
Lived on earth our Saviour holy.

Verse 3
For He is our childhood's pattern;
Day by day, like us, He grew;
He was little, weak, and helpless,
Tears and smiles, like us He knew;
And He cares when we are sad,
And he shares when we are glad.

Verse 4
And our eyes at last shall see Him,
Through His own redeeming love;
For that Child so dear and gentle,
Is our Lord in heaven above:
And He leads His children on,
To the place where He is gone.

O Lord my God!
When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the works
Thy hand hath made,

I hear the mighty thunder,
Thy power throughout
The universe displayed;

Verse 2:
When through the woods
And forest glades I wander
And hear the birds
Sing sweetly in the trees;
When I look down
From lofty mountain grandeur,
And hear the brook,
And feel the gentle breeze;

Verse 3:
And when I think
That God His Son not sparing,
Sent Him to die -
I scarce can take it in,
That on the cross
My burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died
To take away my sin:

Verse 4:
When Christ shall come
With shout of acclamation
And take me home -
What joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow
In humble adoration
And there proclaim,
My God, how great Thou art!:
