A Communion Hymn For Christmas by Christmas Songs

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) Verse 1: 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.

Verse 2: 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.

Verse 3: 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 Verse 4: 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. Verse 5: 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!
