A Mighty Fortress

  C      G        Am     G
A mighty Fortress is our God,
  Am            G   C
A Bulwark never failing;
    C      G    Am       G
Our Helper He amidst the flood
   Am             G  C
Of mortal ills prevailing:
    C         D       G
For still our ancient foe
     C       D       Am
Doth seek to work us woe;
    Am        D         G
His craft and pow'r are great,
    Am         F     E
And armed with cruel hate,
   Am               G   C
On earth is not his e - qual.

Did we in our own strength confide,
Our striving would be losing;
Were not the right Man on our side,
The Man of God's own choosing:
Dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is He;
The Lord of Hosts His Name,
From age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.

And though this world, with devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us;
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us:
The prince of darkness grim,
We tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure,
For lo, his doom is sure,
One little word shall fell him.

That word above all earthly pow'rs,
No thanks to them a - bideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Through Him Who with us sideth:
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also;
The body they may kill;
God's truth abideth still,
His Kingdom is for - ever.

Immortal, Invisible

  C         D        G     D  G
Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
   C          D       G        D   G
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
      G            Em            G          D
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
  Em         D            G          D  G
Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise.

Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,
nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might;
Thy justice like mountains high soaring above
Thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love.

To all, life Thou givest, to both great and small;
In all life Thou livest, the true Life of all;
We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree;
And wither and perish, but naught changeth Thee.

Great Father of glory, pure Father of light,
Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight;
All praise we would render:  O help us to see
'Tis only the splendor of light hideth Thee.

To God be the Glory

   G                       D              G
To God be the glory, great things He hath done,
   C            G             A           D
So lov'd He the world that He gave us His Son,
    G                     D           G
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin,
    C          G              D          G
And opened the Life Gate that all may go in.

chorus:
  G
  Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
  G                      D
  Let the earth hear His voice;
  D
  Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
                   G
  Let the people rejoice;
      G
  Oh, come to the Father,
          D         G
  Through Jesus the Son,
      C            G
  And give Him the glory;
        D              G
  Great things He hath done.

Oh, perfect redemption, the purchase of blood,
To ev'ry believer the promise of God;
The vilest offender who truly believes,
That moment from Jesus a pardon receieves.
(chorus)

Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done,
And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;
But purer, and higher, and greater will be
Our wonder, our transport when Jesus we see.
(chorus)

What a Friend we have in Jesus

D                        G
What a friend we have in Jesus,
D                           A
All ours sins and griefs to bear,
D                   G
What a privilege to carry
A                    D
Everything to God in prayer!
A                     D
O what peace we often forfeit,
G      D                A
O what needless pain we bear,
D                     G
All because we do not carry
A                    D
Everything to God in prayer!

Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.

Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Saviour still our refuge;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He·ll take and shield thee;
Thou wilt find a solace there.

Just As I Am

     A           E       A
Just as I am without one plea,
    E                  D        A
but that Thy blood was shed for me;
    A                   D
And that Thou biddst me come to Thee,
   A              E       A
Oh Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am, and waiting not,
To rid my soul of one dark blot,
To Thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of God I come, I come!

Just as I am, tho' tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fightings within, and fears without,
O Lamb of God I come, I come!

Just as I am, Thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
Because Thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God I come, I come!

Just as I am, Thy love unknown,
Hath broken ev'ry barrier down;
Now to be Thine, yea Thine alone,
O Lamb of God I come, I come!

Just as I am, of that free love,
The breadth, length, depth, the height to prove,
Here for a season then above,
O Lamb of God I come, I come!

O Come, all ye Faithful

  G            D         G       Em    G   D
O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant;

   Em         D   G     D  A   D
O come ye, O come ye to Bethelehem.

G          D    G    D        Em      D
Come and behold Him, Born the King of angels;

chorus:
     G
  O come, let us adore Him;
  G                     D
  O come, let us adore Him;
     Am       D         G   C
  O come, let us adore Him,
    G D       G
  Christ the Lord!

Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation;
Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above:
"Glory to God, all glory in the highest!"
(chorus)

Yea, Lord we greet Thee, Born that happy morning;
Jesus, to Theee be all glory giv'n.
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing:
(chorus)

Long time ago in Bethlehem

G                C
Long time ago in Bethlehem,
       D          G
so the Holy Bible say,
G                C
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ,
    G       D         G
was born on Christmas Day.

Chorus:

G         C        D      G
Hark, now hear the angels sing,
  Em       C    D
a new king born today, and
G        D        C
man will live for evermore,
  G        D         G
because of Christmas day.

G        C         D      G
Trumpets sound and angels sing,
Em        C         D
listen to what they say, that
G        D        C
man will live for evermore,
  G        D         G
because of Christmas Day.

While shepherds watch their flocks by night,
them see a bright shining star,
them hear a choir sing that night,
the music come from afar.
Now Joseph and his wife, Mary,
come to Bethlehem that night,
them find no place to born the child,
not a single room was in sight.

By and by they find a nook,
in a stable all forlorn,
and in a manger cold and dark,
the little baby was born.
Long time ago in Bethlehem,
so the Holy Bible say,
Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ,
was born on Christmas Day.

Silent night, Holy night

A
Silent night, holy night
E            A
All is calm, All is bright
D                 A
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child
D              A
Holy Infant so Tender and mild,
E                 A
Sleep in heavenly peace,
A        E        A
Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight,
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heavenly hosts sing Alleleulia
Christ the Saviour is born!
Christ the saviour is born.

Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
with the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus Lord at thy birth,
Jesus Lord at thy birth.

Joy to the World!

D          G           D    A  D
Joy to the world!  The Lord is come;
     G        A        D
Let earth receive her King.
    D  G  D         D    G   D
Let every hea-rt prepare Him ro-om,
    D
And heav'n and nature sing,
     A
And heav'n and nature sing,
     D         G           D  A   D
And heav'n and heav'n and nature sing.

Additional Verses:
Joy to the world! The Savior reigns;
Let men their songs employ.
While fields and floods,
  rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.

No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found,
Far as the curse is found,
Far as, far as the curse is found.

He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders, wonders of His love.

Born to raise the sons of earth,
born to five them second birth
Hark the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the new born King"
