Rescue Squad Park 2024

ANGELS (GLORY TO GOD)
angels we have heard on high
sweetly singing o’er the plains
and the mountains in reply
echoing their joyous strains
gloria in excelsis Deo

shepherds why this jubilee
why your joyous strains prolong
what the gladsome tidings be
which inspire your heavenly song
gloria in excelsis Deo

glory to God glory to God
glory to God in the highest forever
for all he has done His unfailing love
glory to God in the highest forever

come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing
come adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord the newborn King
gloria in excelsis Deo
gloria in excelsis Deo

glory to God glory to God
glory to God in the highest forever
for all he has done His unfailing love
glory to God in the highest forever
gloria gloria glory to God in the highest
gloria gloria glory to God in the highest

O COME, O COME EMMANUEL
(REJOICE, REJOICE)

o come o come Emmanuel
and ransom captive Israel
that mourns in lonely exile here
until the Son of God appear

[refrain]
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

[refrain]

o come Desire of Nations bind
all peoples in one heart and mind
bid envy strife and quarrels cease
fill the whole world with heaven’s peace

[refrain]

rejoice rejoice our God is here with us
Emmanuel our God is still with us

SILENT NIGHT
silent night holy night
all is calm all is bright
round yon virgin mother and child
holy infant tender and mild
sleep in heavenly peace
sleep in heavenly peace

silent night holy night
wondrous star lend thy light
with the angels let us sing
alleluia to our King
Christ the Savior is born
Christ the savior is born

O HOLY NIGHT
O holy night the stars are brightly shining
it is the night of our dear Savior’s birth
long lay the world in sin and error pining
’til He appeared and the soul felt its worth
a thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
for yonder breaks a new and glorious morn

fall on your knees o hear the angel voices
o night divine o night when Christ was born
o night divine o night o night divine

Christ is the Lord o praise His name forever
His power and glory evermore proclaim
His power and glory evermore proclaim

HOLY FOREVER
and the angels cry holy
all creation cries holy
You are lifted high holy holy forever

hear Your people sing holy
to the King of Kings holy
You will always be holy holy forever

Your name is the highest
Your name is the greatest
Your name stands above them all
all thrones and dominions
all powers and positions
Your name stands above them all

REJOICE, REJOICE
rejoice rejoice our God is here with us
Emmanuel our God is still with us
