6. God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen
Hymn 211:
God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen

7. God rest you merry, gentlemen, let nothing you dismay,
remember Christ our Savior
was born on Christmas day,
to save us all from Satan's power
when we were gone astray;
O tidings of comfort and joy,
comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.

8. From God our heavenly Father, a blessed angel came;
and unto certain shepherds
brought tidings of the same:
how that in Bethlehem was born
the Son of God by name.
O tidings of comfort and joy,
comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.

9. "Fear not, then," said the angel, "let nothing you affright;
this day is born a Savior
of a pure virgin bright,
to free all those who trust in him
from Satan's power and might."
O tidings of comfort and joy,
comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.

10. The shepherds at those tidings rejoiced much in mind,
and left their flocks afeeding,
in tempest, storm, and wind:
and went to Bethlehem straightway,
the Son of God to find.
O tidings of comfort and joy,
comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.

11. All Praise to Thee, Eternal Lord
Hymn 219:
All Praise to Thee, Eternal Lord

12. All praise to thee, eternal Lord,
clothed in a garb of flesh and blood; choosing a manger for thy throne,
while worlds on worlds are thine alone.

13. Once did the skies before thee bow; a virgin's arms contain thee now:
angels who did in thee rejoice
now listen for thine infant voice.

14. A little child, thou art our guest, that weary ones in thee may rest;
forlorn and lowly is thy birth,
that we may rise to heaven from earth.

15. Thou comest in the darksome night to make us children of the light,
to make us, in the realms divine,
like thine own angels round thee shine.

16. All this for us thy love hath done; by this to thee our love is won:
for this we tune our cheerful lays,
and shout our thanks in ceaseless praise.

17. Responsive Reading
Psalm 23

18. The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

19. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life.
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

23. Hail to the Lord’s Anointed
Hymn 311:
Hail to the Lord’s Anointed

24. Hail to the Lord's Anointed, great David's greater Son!
Hail, in the time appointed,
his reign on earth begun!
He comes to break oppression,
to set the captive free,
to take away transgression,
and rule in equity.

25. He comes with succor speedy to those who suffer wrong;
to help the poor and needy,
and bid the weak be strong;
to give them songs for sighing,
their darkness turn to light,
whose souls, condemned and dying,
were precious in his sight.

26. He shall come down like showers upon the fruitful earth;
and love, joy, hope, like flowers,
spring in his path to birth;
before him on the mountains
shall peace, the herald, go;
and righteousness, in fountains,
from hill to valley flow.

27. O'er every foe victorious, he on his throne shall rest,
from age to age more glorious,
all-blessing and all-blessed;
the tide of time shall never
his covenant remove;
his name shall stand forever --
that name to us is Love.

28. Scripture Reading: Psalm 47 Isaiah 4:1-11 (ESV)

29. Comfort, comfort my people, says your God
Comfort, comfort my people, says your God. 2 Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry to her that her warfare is ended, that her iniquity is pardoned, that she has received from the LORD's hand double for all her sins. 3 A voice cries: “In the wilderness prepare the way of the LORD; make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

30. 4 Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be made low; the uneven ground shall become level, and the rough places a plain. 5 And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together, for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.” 6 A voice says, “Cry!” And I said, “What shall I cry?” All flesh is grass, and all its beauty is like the flower of the field.

31. 7 The grass withers, the flower fades when the breath of the LORD blows on it; surely the people are grass. 8 The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever. 9 Go on up to a high mountain, O Zion, herald of good news; lift up your voice with strength, O Jerusalem, herald of good news; lift it up, fear not; say to the cities of Judah, “Behold your God!”

32. 10 Behold, the Lord GOD comes with might, and his arm rules for him; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him. 11 He will tend his flock like a shepherd; he will gather the lambs in his arms; he will carry them in his bosom,and gently lead those that are with young.

The Coming of Comfort
by Pastor James Limlder Eric Kooi

34. Comfort, Comfort Ye My People
Hymn :
Comfort, Comfort Ye My People

35. Comfort, comfort, ye My people, Speak ye peace, thus saith our God; Comfort those who sit in darkness, Mourning 'neath their sorrows' load. Speak ye to Jerusalem Of the peace that waits for them; Tell her that her sins I cover And her warfare now is over.

36. Yea, her sins our God will pardon, Blotting out each dark misdeed; All that well deserved His anger He no more will see or heed. She hath suffered many a day, Now her griefs have passed away; God will change her pining sadness Into ever-springing gladness.

37. For the Herald's voice is crying In the desert far and near, Bidding all men to repentance Since the Kingdom now is here. Oh, that warning cry obey! Now prepare for God a way; Let the valleys rise to meet Him And the hills bow down to greet Him.

38. Make ye straight what long was crooked, Make the rougher places plain; Let your hearts be true and humble, As befits His holy reign. For the glory of the Lord Now o'er earth is shed abroad, And all flesh shall see the token That His Word is never broken.

39. Benediction .

40. Christ, to thee, with God the Father, and, O Holy Ghost to thee, hymn, and chant, and high thanksgiving, and unwearied praises be, honor, glory, and dominion, and eternal victory, evermore and evermore!
