New verse for “I Wonder As I Wander”

But the King, for the joy that was set before Him
Aspired to absolve us from pride and from sin
So poor, orn’ry people could come to His throne
And be blessed in the heavens — for Christ made us His own.

(new verse HIM/C.A.Venable © 11-19-16 )

for “Forever (We Sing Hallelujah!)”

//We sing hallelujah (3x)
Our Christ Emmanuel//

Forever He’s Emmanuel
Forever King of Israel
Forever Prince of Peace
His reign will not cease!
His reign will not cease!

for “Joyful, Joyful”

Joyful, joyful we adore Thee, God of glory, Lord of love
Heaven in a little manger,
Sent to earth to from God above
Angels singing, “Hallelujah! Glory be to Adonai!”
Mortals join the mighty chorus,
Christ with us does now abide!

All the shepherds join around Thee,
Earth & heaven are amazed
Stars and angels sing around Thee,
Center of unbroken praise
Wise men, poor men, saint and sinner,
Calling us to eternity
There is none that God can not save,
So we do rejoice in Thee
