The Lighting of the First Advent Candle
I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I hope; my soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.
O Israel, hope in the LORD! For with the LORD there is steadfast love, and with him is plentiful redemption.
We light this candle as a sign of the coming light of Christ.
Jesus said, “I am the light of the world; the one who follows me will not walk in darkness but have the light of life.”
—Psalm 130:5-7 & John 8:12
O Come All Ye Faithful
O come, all ye faithful
Joyful and triumphant
O come ye, O come ye, to Bethlehem
Come and behold him
Born the King of angels
O come, let us adore him
O come, let us adore him
O come, let us adore him
Christ the Lord
Sing, choirs of angels
Sing in exultation
O sing, all ye citizens of heaven above
Glory to God
All glory in the highest
O come, let us adore him
O come, let us adore him
O come, let us adore him
Christ the Lord
Yea, Lord, we greet Thee
Born this happy morning
Jesus, to thee be glory given
Word of the Father
Now in flesh appearing
O come, let us adore him
O come, let us adore him
O come, let us adore him
Christ the Lord

Joy To The World
Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare him room
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven, and heaven and nature sing
Joy to the earth, 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
Issac Watts, Tune ANTIOCH, George F. Handel, Arr. Lowell Mason, CCLI 241710

Gifts & Offerings — Until the Lord Comes Back Again
주님 다시 오실 때까지 나는 이 길을 가리라
좁은 문 좁은 길 나의 십자가 지고
나의 가는 이 길 끝에서 나는 주님을 보리라
영광의 내 주님 나를 맞아주시리
주님 다시 오실 때까지 나는 일어나 달려 가리라
주의 영광 온 땅 덮을 때 나는 일어나 노래하리
내 사모하는 주님 온 세상 구주시라
내 사모하는 주님 영광의 왕이시라
Until the Lord comes back again,
I will keep on going on this path
Narrow gate, narrow path,
taking my cross with me
At the end of this road that I tread,
my Lord I will behold at last
My Lord of glory, he will meet and welcome me
Until the Lord comes back again,
I will stand up, and I will run to him
When his glory covers all the earth,
I will stand up, and I will sing
My Lord, the Lord of my love, the Savior of the world is he
My Lord, the Lord of my love, the King of glory is he
O Come, O Come Emmanuel
O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
O come, thou Key of David, come
And open wide our heav’nly home
Make safe the way that leads on high
And close the path to misery
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
O come, thou Dayspring, come and cheer
Our spirits by thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death’s dark shadows put to flight
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
O, come, Desire of nations, bind
In one the hearts of all mankind
O, bid our sad divisions cease
And be thyself our King of peace
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
