Time To Sing - A Noel
See the bright star in the sky,
time to sing a Noel.
Angels chanting from on high,
time to sing a Noel.

See the bright star in the sky,
time to sing a Noel.
Angels chanting from on high,
time to sing a Noel.*

Baby's born in Bethlehem,
time to sing a Noel.
Wise men come from distant lands,
time to sing a Noel.*

On that Chrisimus morn this tiny baby was born.
Born in a manger, no place for his head.
Born in a stable, with straw for a bed.
On that Chrisimus morn this tiny baby was born.

Now the bells ring loud and clear,
time to sing a Noel.
Send the news for all to hear,
time to sing a Noel.*
time to sing a No, time to sing a Noel!

* Now sing a Noel, sing a Noel,
sing a Noel, time to sing a Noel.

Be Our Light
In our weakness, be our strengh, Lord,
In our hunger, fill our need;

When we're doubtful, be our assurance, Lord,

And when we lose our way in the darkest night,
Let us ever seek your truth, Lord,

When we're lonely, Be our Friend, Lord,

In each struggle, Come renew our strength,
When we're empty, fill our cup;
In our searching, be our truth Lord,
In each peril, be our hope;

Give Thanks
God Himself is with us,
Let us now adore Him,
And with awe appear before Him.

God is in His temple.
All within keep silence,
And before Him bow in reverence.

Give thanks with a grateful heart,
Give thanks to the Holy One,
Give thanks because He's given
Jesus Chirst, His Son. x2

And now let the weak say, "I am strong!"
Let the poor say, "I am rich,"
Because of what the Lord has done for us. x2

Give thanks with a grateful heart,
Give thanks to the Holy one,
Give thanks because He's given
Jesus Christ, His son.

God himself is with us;
hear the hymns ascending,
saints and angels' voices blending.
Give thanks.

I'm Trying to Be Like Jesus
I'm trying to be like Jesus;
I'm following in His ways.
I'm trying to love as He did, in all that I do and say.
At times I am tempted to make a wrong choice,
but I try to listen as the still small voice whispers, *

I'm trying to love my neighbor;
I'm learning to serve my friends.
I watch for the day of gladness when Jesus will come again.
I try to remember the lessons He taught.
Then the Holy Spirit enters into my thoughts, saying: *

* "Love one another as Jesus loves you,
Try to show kindness in all that you do.
Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought,
For these are the things Jesus taught."

迎候基督臨近
寒冬夜裡普世靜候,有一君王來臨;
虔誠信眾渴望等待祂能帶來平安。
內心火熱,每天儆醒,為主忠誠預備道路。

彌賽亞必降臨,當來迎候救世主基督臨近!

古先知曾預告,神差一子降臨,
我們必看見上帝應許救恩。
必先見記號;
大地諸天歡欣!
萬邦知悉祂名,宣稱祂為主,君王!

危難困境黑暗瀰漫,內心疑慮恐慌,
但神差派以馬內利居住我們中間。
耶穌必來更新萬事,
生命充滿光輝盼望。

彌賽亞必降臨,當來迎候救世主基督臨近!

You Raise Me Up
Be still, my soul! The Lord is on your side;
Bear patiently the cross of grief of pain.
Leave to your God to order and provide;
In ev'ry change He faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul! The waves and winds still know
His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below.

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then I am still and wait here in the silence
Until You come and sit awhile with me.

* You raise me up so I can stand on mountains.
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas.
I am strong when I am on Your shoulders.
You raise me up to more than I can be.

There is no life, no life without its hunger.
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly.
But when You come, and I am filled with wonder,
Somestimes I think I glimpse eternity. **

My Grace Is Sufficient for Thee
*"My grace is sufficient for thee,
My grace is sufficient for thee,
For My strength is made perfect in weakness,
My grace is sufficient for thee."

When the questions of life go unanswered,
When there's none who respond to your plea.
There's an echo that keeps on resounding:
"My grace is sufficient for thee."*

Let us offer our praises to Jesus,
Till in heaven His presence we see.
Never failing to trust in the promise:
"My grace is sufficient for thee."

My grace is sufficient for thee,
My grace is sufficient for thee.
For My strength is made perfect in weakness,
My grace is sufficient for thee.
Yes, My strength is sufficient for thee.
My grace is sufficient for thee.
Sufficient for thee.

Lyrics | Great Is Thy Faithfulness lyrics

Great is Thy Faithfulness
Great is thy faithfulness, O God my father
There is no shadow of turning with Thee
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not
As Thou hast been, Thou for ever will be
Great is thy faithfulness
Great is thy faithfulness
Morning by morning new mercies I see
All I have needed thy hand hath provided
Great is thy faithfulness, Lord unto me
Great is thy faithfulness

Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To thy great faithfulness, mercy and love

Great is thy faithfulness
Great is thy faithfulness
Morning by morning new mercies I see
All I have needed thy hand hath provided
Great is thy faithfulness, Lord unto me
Great is thy faithfulness

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside

Great is thy faithfulness
Great is thy faithfulness
All I have needed thy hand hath provided
Great is thy faithfulness, Lord unto me

聖樂部聯合詩班通告

親愛的詩班班員:

本年度聖誕前夕燭光崇拜於十二月廿四日(四)晚上八時,假大坑道香港真光中學百齡堂舉行,時間為晚上八時正。聯合詩班於十一月開始練習,時間暫定如下:

主日練習:
日期:1/11,8/11,15/11,22/11,29/11,
6/12,13/12,20/12(地方容後通告)
時間:下午二時至三時三十分

總彩排:
日期:23/12(三)
時間:晚上七時至九時

聖誕前夕燭光崇拜:
日期:24/12(四)
時間:晚上六時(晚膳供應)

早堂晨曦聖餐感恩崇拜
時間:早上八時三十分
地點:GD27

日堂
時間:早上十一時
地點:真光中學百齡堂

有關練習地點安排:
由於GD27主日的地方使用頻繁,將按需要安排借用鄰近的教會作練習之用,地點於日內落實通告。

今年是過渡期的第一個燭光崇拜,不單在時間上,地點的轉變相信都是大家需要很多適應的地方,故請多禱告交託並積極參與,盼望我們不會因地方的限制及不便而減弱我們稱頌那位甘願自卑,降誕馬槽的聖嬰耶穌基督的心。除此之外,真光中學坐落勵德邨及其他住宅區之間,是次燭光崇拜,我們盼望能邀請鄰近的居民及信眾同來參與崇拜;加上真光中學百齡堂的面積比以往禮頓道正堂還有大,需要更多的詩班員互相支持及參與。如有任何垂詢,請與本人或李宣聯絡(2576 1109)。

Prayer of St. Francis
Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, thy pardon, Lord.
Where there is doubt, let there be faith.

Oh, Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace.
Where there's despair, let me bring hope.
Where there is darkness, let there be light.
Where there is sadness, let there by joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not
so much seek to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love.

Oh, Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
and it is in pardoning that we are pardoned.
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace.
