Advent Hymn:  Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus

Verse 1
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

Verse 2
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 all sufficient merit
Raise us to Thy glorious throne

Piano Offertory:  Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming - arr. Purifoy

Organist:  Christopher Ward

Prayer: Pastor Mac Jordan

This is what Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem: In the last days the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established as the highest of the mountains; it will be exalted above the hills, and all nations will stream to it. Many peoples will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways, so that we may walk in His paths.” The law will go out from Zion, the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. Come, descendants of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the Lord.
Isaiah 2:1-5 NIV (New International Version)

Carol of Response:  Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne

Thou didst leave Thy throne
And Thy kingly crown
When Thou camest to earth for me
But in Bethlehem’s home
There was found no room
For Thy holy nativity

O come to my heart, Lord Jesus
There is room in my heart
For Thee

Heaven’s arches rang
When the angels sang
Proclaiming Thy royal degree
But in lowly birth
Thou didst come to earth
And in great humility

O come to my heart, Lord Jesus
There is room in my heart
For Thee

The foxes found rest
And the birds their nest
In the shade of the forest tree
But Thy couch was the sod
O Thou Son of God
In the desert of Galilee

O come to my heart, Lord Jesus
There is room in my heart
For Thee

Thou camest O Lord
With the living Word
That should set Thy people free
But with mocking scorn
And with crown of thorn
They bore Thee to Calvary

O come to my heart, Lord Jesus
There is room in my heart
For Thee

When the heavens shall ring
And the angels sing
At Thy coming to victory
Let Thy voice call me home
Saying “Yet there is room
There is room at My side for thee.”

My heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus
When Thou comest
And callest for me
