"Hark! The Herald Angels Sing/King of Heaven"
Hey! Hey!
Verse 1
Hark the herald angels sing

Join the triumph of the skies
With angelic hosts proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King
Verse 2
Hail the heaven born Prince of Peace
Hail the Son of righteousness
Light and life to all He brings
Risen with healing in His wings

Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King

Late in time behold Him come

Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King the newborn King

"What Can I Give Him"
What can I give Him poor as I am
If I were a shepherd I would bring a lamb
If I were a Wise One I would do my part yet
What can I give Him I will give my heart
Marcia McFee and Chuck Bell
"Right Here Right Now"
Right here and right now
We open our senses
To see and perceive
The gifts we’ve been given
To know and believe
That what we must do
Is open our hearts to
Let all gifts flow through
