Misc Christmas – A Communion Hymn For Christmas (Guitar)

D                    Em    A            D
Gathered 'round Your table on this holy eve,

Bm                  Em     A7             D
Viewing Bethl'hem's stable we rejoice and grieve.

D              Em    A              Bm
Joy to see You lying in Your manger bed;

G               Em    A             D
Weep to see You dying in our sinful stead.

D                Em      A                 D
Prince of Glory, gracing Heav'n ere time began

Bm           Em       A7             D
Now for us embracing death as Son of Man

D                Em     A               Bm
By Your birth so lowly, by Your love so true,

G                  Em    A                D
By Your cross most holy, Lord, we worship You.

D               Em      A                 D
Behl'hem's Incarnation, Calv'ry's bitter cross,

Bm                Em     A7               D
Wrought for us salvation by Your pain and loss

D              Em      A            Bm
Now we fall before You in this holy place;

G             Em    A                    D
Prostrate we adore You for Your gift of grace

D                Em     A            D
With profoundest wonder we Your body take

Bm             Em       A7             D
Laid in manger younder, broken for our sake.

D            Em     A               Bm
Hushed in adoration we approach the cup;

G                 Em       A              D
Bethl'hem's pure oblation  freely offered up.

D                 Em      A                 D
Christmas babe so tender, Lamb who bore our blame,

Bm                Em     A7               D
How shall sinners render praises due Your name?

D                Em       A                Bm
Do Your own good pleasure in the lives we bring;

G                Em       A             D
In Your ransomed treasure reign forever King!
