CONSPIRARE CHRISTMAS

Joyful, Joyful / Lord, we adore Thee
God of glory / Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee / Hail Thee as the sun above
Melt the clouds of sin, sin and sadness / Drive the dark of doubt away
Drive it away / Giver of immortal gladness (won’t you)
Fill us, (Fill us with the light of day, Lord, fill us)
Fill us, (oh we need You, yes we do, fill us)
Fill us (yeah..., oh, oh yeah)
Fill us with the light of day, Lord)
We need you, come right away,
we need you, need you today, we need you,
I’m here to say fill us, fill us, fill us, fill us...)
Fill us with the light of day oh, yeah
Light of day!
—Friedrich Schiller

COME LOVE, CAROLING
Come Love, Caroling
Come, love, caroling along in me! / Come, love, caroling along in me!
All the while, wherever I may be, / I carry the maker of the world in me.
In the beginning you were there, I know, / And you will carry me wherever I go.
I’ll carry you wherever I may be, / I carry the maker of the world in me.
—Sydney Carter
(Audience please stand and sing boldface text)
Oh, come, all ye faithful, / Joyful and triumphant!
Oh, come ye, oh, come ye to Bethlehem;
Come and behold him / Born the king of angels:
Oh, come, let us adore him, / Oh, come, let us adore him,
Oh, come, let us adore him, / Christ the Lord.
Sing, choirs of angels, / Sing in exultation,
Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above!
Glory to God / In the highest:
Oh, come, let us adore him, / Oh, come, let us adore him,
Oh, come, let us adore him, / Christ the Lord.
—John F. Wade
