WE WILL STAND VERSE 1 Broken and discouraged, emptiness within Heavy hearts, so weary, tired of self and sin. O Lord, Lift us up, lead us out, make us stand, make us stand.

Stand strong, stand tall, stand as one, stand all Stand in faith, stand in awe – we will stand, we will stand.

THE BELLS OF CHRISTMAS Verse 1 The bells of Christmas chime once more; The Heavenly Guest is at the door He comes to earthly dwelling still With new year’s gifts news of peace, good will. Halle-, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah! Verse 2 This world though far and wide outspread, Could scarcely find for You a bed Your cradle was a manger stall No pearl, no silk, no kingly hall Halle-, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah! Verse 3 Now let us go with quiet mind, The swaddled Babe with shepherds find, To gaze on Him who gladdens them The lovliest flow'r of Jesse's stem Bridge O patriarchs' Joy, O prophets' Song O Dayspring bright, awaited long O Son of Man, incarnate Word Great David's Son, great David's Lord O holy Child, Your manger gleams Bright beaming glory from it streams, All earth shall know You are the One, For Jacob's Star outshines the sun. Verse 4 Oh join with me, in gladness sing, To keep our Christmas with our King, Until our song, from loving souls, Like rushing mighty water rolls! Halle-, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah! Words: "Det Kimer Nu Til Julfest," Nicolai Frederik Severin Grundtvig, 1817. Translator: Charles P. Krauth, 1867, Public Domain.
