Isaiah 11:1-10 (ESV)

The Righteous Reign of the Branch

11 There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse,
    and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit.
2 And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him,
    the Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
    the Spirit of counsel and might,
    the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.
3 And his delight shall be in the fear of the Lord.
He shall not judge by what his eyes see,
    or decide disputes by what his ears hear,
4 but with righteousness he shall judge the poor,
    and decide with equity for the meek of the earth;
and he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth,
    and with the breath of his lips he shall kill the wicked.
5 Righteousness shall be the belt of his waist,
    and faithfulness the belt of his loins.

6 The wolf shall dwell with the lamb,
    and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat,
and the calf and the lion and the fattened calf together;
    and a little child shall lead them.
7 The cow and the bear shall graze;
    their young shall lie down together;
    and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8 The nursing child shall play over the hole of the cobra,
    and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder's den.
9 They shall not hurt or destroy
    in all my holy mountain;
for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord
    as the waters cover the sea.

10 In that day the root of Jesse, who shall stand as a signal for the peoples—of him shall the nations inquire, and his resting place shall be glorious.

What Child Is This

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

So bring Him incense
Gold and myrrh come peasant
King to own Him
The King of kings
Salvation brings, let loving hearts
Enthrone Him
Raise, raise a a song on high!
The virgin sings her lullaby
Joy, joy for Christ is born
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing!
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
The Babe the Son of Mary

Nails, spears shall pierce Him through
The Cross He bore for me, for you
Hail, hail the Word made flesh the Babe
The Son of Mary

Open Up

you heard the cry of our hearts
and you came down
freely you gave us your love
showing us how
make me an instrument of your peace
where there is hatred let me show love
where there is darkness let me shine light and
may your love cause us to open up
cause us to open up our hearts
may your light cause us to shine so bright
that we bring hope into the dark
all that we do without love
it means nothing
grant us the courage to give
as you're calling
make me an instrument of your peace
where there is hatred let me show love
where there is darkness let me shine light and
may your love cause us to open up
cause us to open our hearts
may your light cause us to shine so bright
that we bring hope into the dark
hope fo the hopeless, your love is
strength in our weakness, your love is
may we love, as you love
hope for the hopeless, your love is
strength in our weakness, your love is
may we love, as you love
(as you can love, oh god)
may we love, as you love
may we love, as you love

Your Peace will Make us One

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
You are speaking truth to power, You are laying down our swords
Replanting every vineyard 'til a brand new wine is poured
Your peace will make us one

I've seen You in our home fires burning with a quiet light
You are mothering and feeding in the wee hours of the night
Your gentle love is patient, You will never fade or tire
Your peace will make us one

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Your peace will make us one

In the beauty of the lilies, You were born across the sea
With a glory in Your bosom that is still transfiguring
Dismantling our empires 'til each one of us is free
Your peace will make us one

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Your peace will make us one
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Your peace will make us one

He Shall Reign Forevermore

In the bleak mid-winter
All creation groans,
for a world In darkness
frozen like a stone
Light is breaking, in a stale For a throne
And He shall reign Forevermore, forevermore
And He shall reign Forevermore, forevermore
Unto us a Child is born
The King of kings and Lord of lords
And He shall reign Forevermore, forevermore
If I were a wise man
I would travel far If I were a shepherd,
I Would do my part, but poor as
I am I will give to Him my heart

And He shall reign Forevermore, forevermore
And He shall reign Forevermore, forevermore
Unto us a Child is born
The King of kings and Lord of lords
And He shall reign Forevermore, forevermore
Here within a manger lies
The One who made the
starry skies
This baby born for sacrifice
Christ, the Messiah!
Into our hopes, into our fears
The Savior of the world appears
The promise of eternal years
Christ, the Mesiah!
And He shall reign Forevermore, forevermore
And He shall reign Forevermore, forevermore
And He shall reign Forevermore, forevermore
And He shall reign Forevermore, forevermore
Unto us a Child is born
The King of kings and Lord of lords
And He shall reign Forevermore, forevermore
