Is He Worthy? (arr. Dan Forrest)

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)

i fear
no fate(for you are my fate, my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

All Is Quiet (Winter Lullaby) (arr. Josh Sparkman)

1. Hush, my dear, lie still and slumber,
holy angels guard thy bed,
heavenly blessings without number,
gently falling on thy head.
How much better thou'rt attended,
than the Son of God could be,
when from heaven he descended,
and became a child like thee!

2. Soft and easy is thy cradle,
coarse and hard thy Savior lay:
when his birthplace was a stable,
and his softest bed was hay.
Was there nothing but a manger
Cursed sinners could afford
To receive the heavenly Stranger?
Did they thus affront their Lord?

3. See the joyful shepherds 'round Him,
Telling wonders from the sky.
Where they sought Him, there they found Him,
With his blessed mother by. 
May'st thou live to know and fear Him,
Trust and love Him all thy days,
Then go dwell forever near Him,
See His face and sing His praise!
