Come to Bethlehem and see Christ whose birth the angels sing Come adore on bended knee Christ the Lord the newborn King
Gloria in excelsis Deo
See Him in a manger laid Whom the choirs of angels praise Mary, Joseph, lend your aid While our hearts in love we raise
Gloria in excelsis Deo

We cry… Holy, Holy, Holy …is the Lamb
We fall down, We lay our crowns …at the feet of Jesus
The greatness of His mercy and love …at the feet of Jesus
We cry… Holy, Holy, Holy We cry… Holy, Holy, Holy
We cry… Holy, Holy, Holy …is the Lamb
Advent: The Compassion of God Sanctuary Covenant Church December 5, 2010
Isaiah 42 The Servant of the LORD 1 “Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him, and he will bring justice to the nations. 2 He will not shout or cry out, or raise his voice in the streets. 3 A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out. In faithfulness he will bring forth justice; 4 he will not falter or be discouraged till he establishes justice on earth. In his teaching the islands will put their hope.” 5 This is what God the LORD says— the Creator of the heavens, who stretches them out, who spreads out the earth with all that springs from it, who gives breath to its people, and life to those who walk on it: 6 “I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles, 7 to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.”
“The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger and abounding in love and faithfulness…” (Exodus 34:6)
Compassion is: Empathy in Action Raham and Splanchnizomai: from the guts Compassio: to suffer with
Christmas is a story of compassion!
Responding to God’s compassion: Receive it Carry it 3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. (2 Corinthians 1:3-4)
Gracious And Compassionate
The Lord is gracious and compassionate Slow to anger and rich in love
And the Lord is good to all He has compassion in all that He has made
As far as the east is from the west That’s how far He has removed our transgressions from us (repeat)
