Liturgy for wherever you are
Second Sunday of Advent: December 8, 2024
Peace—Jonah 1:15-2:1
welcome to WORSHIP
Liturgy is an ancient word for worship that is usually translated as “the work of the people.” You’ll hear the voices of our pastoral staff and our community each week, and we are so grateful that this is the work we get to do together. We prayerfully plan our worship services trusting that the Spirit will use each element to shape us and our desires as we pursue the path of Christ. To listen to previous liturgies, you can visit our Soundcloud page below to browse the archives.
Lyrics*
Come Thou Long Expected Jesus
Charles Wesley | Rowland Hugh Prichard | Brenton Brown | Glenn Robertson
Come Thou long expected Jesus
Born to set Thy people free
From our fears and sins release us
Let us find our rest in Thee
Israel's strength and consolation
Hope of all the earth Thou art
Dear desire of every nation
Joy of every longing heart
Come, Lord Jesus, come
Come, Lord Jesus, come
Born Thy people to deliver
Born a child and yet a King
Born to reign in us forever
Now Thy gracious Kingdom bring
By Thine own eternal Spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone
By Thine all sufficient merit
Raise us to Thy glorious throne
God With Us
Jason Ingram | Leslie Jordan
Oh You've come to bring peace to be Love
To be nearer to us
You've come to bring life to be Light
To shine brighter in us
Oh Emmanuel God with us
Our Deliverer You are Savior
In Your presence we find our strength
Over ev'rything our Redemption
God with us
You are God with us
Oh You've come to be Hope to this world
For Your honor and name
And You've come to take sin to bear shame
And to conquer the grave
Oh Emmanuel God with us
You are here
You are holy
We are standing in Your glory (Lord)
Silent Night
Franz Xaver Gruber | John Freeman Young | Joseph Mohr
Silent night holy night
All is calm all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heav'nly hosts sing alleluia
Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born
Silent night holy night
Son of God love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus Lord at Thy birth
Jesus Lord at Thy birth
Silent night holy night
Wondrous star lend thy light
With the angels let us sing
Alleluia to our King
Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born

What a wonderful group of friends we had for this week’s service! Chip and Hazel welcomed us and invited us into a communal practice of gratitude. Ruth and Judy lit our second advent candle and led us in a litany of Peace. Lindsay led us in communal prayer. Melanie read scripture. John Jay provided us with a teaching and offered up the benediction. John Jay invited us into a time of generosity through our offering. Paul provided our offertory. Our other musicians this morning were Leslie, Sam, Tilli, Chris M, Rick and Scott. Kathy and Marcie reminded us of the different ways we are invited to participate in communal life together. Leslie oversaw the production while Steph worked their technical magic to mix this special collaborative worship experience.
Much love from your church family at FBC Pasadena.
