Immanuel

9 Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. 10 Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread, 12 and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Father we ask your help to give us ears that hear today, give us eyes that see your truth, we ask that we not store up for ourselves treasures here on earth but rather treasures in heaven. We thank you for this day and for all these who are here gathered with us and we lift up all those who are unable to be here and ask your hand upon them. God we ask that you help us to share with one another in joy and sorrow alike and that by our love for one another the world might know that we belong to you.

Isaac Watts - Joy to The World

Verse 1

Joy to the world the Lord is come

Let earth receive her King

Let ev'ry heart prepare Him room

And heav'n and nature sing

Verse 2

Joy to the earth the Savior reigns

Let men their songs employ

While fields and floods

Rocks hills and plains

Repeat the sounding joy

Verse 3

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

Verse 4

He rules the world with truth and grace

And makes the nations prove

The glories of His righteousness

And wonders of His love
