Lift Up Ye Heads Ambassador Hymnal #1

Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates, Behold the King of glory waits! The King of kings is drawing near, The Savior of the world is here,

O blest the land, the city blest, Where Christ the Ruler is confessed! O happy hearts and happy homes To whom this King in triumph comes!

Fling wide the portals of our heart, Make it a temple set apart From earthly use for heaven’s employ, Adorned with prayer and love and joy.

Redeemer, come! with us abide; Our hearts to Thee we open wide, Let us Thy inner presence feel, Thy grace and love in us reveal.

O Come, O Come Emmanuel Ambassador Hymnal #157

A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord, A wonderful Savior to me; He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock, Where rivers of pleasure I see.

One Day Ambassador Hymnal #156

One day when heaven was filled with His praises, One day when sin was as black as could be, Jesus came forth to be born of a virgin, Dwelt among men—my example is He!

Living—He loved me, dying—He saved me, Refrain: Living—He loved me, dying—He saved me, Buried—He carried my sins far away; Rising—He justified freely, forever: One day He’s coming—O glorious day!

One day they led Him up Calvary’s mountain, One day they nailed Him to die on the tree; Suffering anguish, despised and rejected, Bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He!

Living—He loved me, dying—He saved me, Refrain: Living—He loved me, dying—He saved me, Buried—He carried my sins far away; Rising—He justified freely, forever: One day He’s coming—O glorious day!

One day they left Him alone in the garden, One day He rested, from suffering free; Angels came down o’er His tomb to keep vigil— Hope of the hopeless, my Savior is He!

Living—He loved me, dying—He saved me, Refrain: Living—He loved me, dying—He saved me, Buried—He carried my sins far away; Rising—He justified freely, forever: One day He’s coming—O glorious day!

One day the grave could conceal Him no longer, One day the stone rolled away from the door; Then He arose, over death He had conquered, Now is ascended, my Lord evermore!

Living—He loved me, dying—He saved me, Refrain: Living—He loved me, dying—He saved me, Buried—He carried my sins far away; Rising—He justified freely, forever: One day He’s coming—O glorious day!

One day the trumpet will sound for His coming, One day the skies with His glory will shine; Wonderful day, my beloved ones bringing! Glorious Savior, this Jesus is mine!

Living—He loved me, dying—He saved me, Refrain: Living—He loved me, dying—He saved me, Buried—He carried my sins far away; Rising—He justified freely, forever: One day He’s coming—O glorious day!

Gloria in excelsis Deo; Gloria in excelsis Deo. Refrain: Gloria in excelsis Deo; Gloria in excelsis Deo.

Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why your joyous strains prolong? What the gladsome tidings be Which inspire your heav’nly song?

The LORD’s Prayer And lead us not into temptation; But deliver us from evil; For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, And the glory, forever and ever. AMEN.
