5. _ Anthem For Christmas
Words: gloria gaither
Music: michael w. smith
In the space of the beginning
Was the living word of light
When this word was clearly spoken
All that came to be was right
All creation had a language
Words to say what must be said
All day long the heavens whispered
Signing words in scarlet red
Some failed to understand it
So god spoke his final word
On a silent night in judah's
Hills a baby's cry was heard
"glory!" sang the angel chorus
"glory!" echoed back the night
Love has come to walk among us
Christ the lord is born this night
All creation sing his praises
Earth and heaven praise his name
All who live come join the chorus
Find the words his love proclaim
Find the words his love proclaim

6. _ Gloria
Text: traditional french carol
Music: michael w. smith
(additional lyrics adapted from the song, "angels we have heard on high")
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the pains
And the mountains in reply
Echo back their joyous strains
Gloria o gloria in excelsis deo
Come to bethlehem and see
(gloria o sing gloria)
Him whose birth the angels sing
(gloria o sing gloria)
Come adore on bended knee
Christ the lord the newborn king
Gloria o gloria in excelsis deo
Angels we have heard on high
(gloria o sing gloria)
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
(gloria o sing gloria)
Jesus lord of heav'n and earth
With us sing our savior's birth
Gloria o gloria in excelsis deo
Alleluia

Words: amy grant and bev darnall
Music: michael w. smith
Lux venit lux venit
Lux venit sursum corda
Lux venit lux venit arise
Shine for your light has come
By sword by flame
In death solemn ages passed
And voices young
Grow old weary
Holding fast
Hope for the dawning
Lux venit lux venit
Lux venit sursum corda
Lux venit lux venit arise
Shine for your light has come
In grace in might
The babe lay in stable stark
Redemptions's light
Pierces through the shadows dark
Alleluia
Lux venit lux venit
Sursum corda
Lux venit lux venit arise
Shine for your light has come
Lux venit lux venit
Lux venit sursum corda
Lux venit lux venit arise
Shine for your light has come
Alleluia
Lux venit: "the light has come"
Sursum corda: "look upwards hearts"

12. _ No Eye Had Seen
Words: amy grant
Music: michael w. smith
No eye had seen
No ear had heard
'til hosts on high
Proclaimed the birth
And heav'n brough down
(quietly with no one watching)
Its only child
(from the womb of perfect peace)
The son of man
(wellspring of our joy delivered)
The world reconciled
(into earthly destiny)
And song broke forth
Angelic strain
And none could help
But sing the name
Emmanuel
(kyrie eleison we sing)
Emmanuel
(glory to the newborn king)
Emmanuel
(mortal and immortal voices)
Emmanuel
(endless praises echoing)
