Cry of the Babe

The mountains have all been laid low
And the valleys have been raised
Are we really ready for him?
For the one who comes to save?
Will we hear the cry of the babe?
The people see a light through the dark
The Light of the World is coming for us
But will we greet him with joy -
This, our King, just a baby boy?
Will we follow the cry of the babe?
Will we follow the cry of the babe?
Can we hear the cry of the babe?
(Oh, holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth...)
Lord Jesus, we wait for your coming with open hearts
We look to the East and follow your star
We have so little to bring
To honor our newborn king
But we follow the cry of the babe?
Yes we follow the cry of the babe?
Can you hear the cry of the babe?
We must follow the cry of the babe!

Come, All Ye Shepherds

Come, all ye shepherds, come hark unto me!
Go ye to Bethlehem, Jesus to see!
Great is the story, great is his glory,
Great is the story, great is his glory.
Be not afraid!
Let us obey now the heavenly voice!
Jesus our Savior's born. Come and rejoice!
Come, ev'ry nation, give adoration,
Come, ev'ry nation, give adoration.
Gifts him present!
Truly the angels have spoken today!
See Mary, Jesus, the stable, the hay!
Hear their sweet singing, round us now ringing
Hear their sweet singing, round us now ringing
Hear their sweet singing, round us now ringing
Hear their sweet singing, round us now ringing.
Glory on high!

Noel, noel
Today is born the King of Israel.
Rejoice, rejoice!
The Savior of us all, Emanuel.
Come and let us give praise
Worship him who comes to save
A tiny child
Who's born this day.
Go and follow the star
Up above to lead us on
To where he sleeps
Upon the hay.
Shepherds, kings, and wise men three
Falling down on bended knee
From on high
A child king.
Noel, noel
Today is born the King of Israel.
Rejoice, rejoice!
The Savior of us all, Emanuel
Emanuel, Emanuel!

(instrumental but in case you want to sing along...)
What child is this, who laid to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The babe, the son of Mary.
Why lies he in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear, for sinners here
The silent word is pleading.
So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh
Come peasant, king, to own him
The King of Kings salvation brings
Let loving arms enfold him.
