Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates
Author: George Weissel, 1590-1635; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: NEH1985 #8 (1986) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Year Advent Languages: English Tune Title: WELLINGTON
Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates
Lo! he comes with clouds descending
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Hymnal: NEH1985 #9 (1986) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Lyrics: 1 LO! he comes with clouds descending,
Once for favoured sinners slain;
Thousand thousand saints attending
Swell the triumph of his train:
Alleluya!
God appears, on earth to reign.
2 Every eye shall now behold him
Robed in dreadful majesty;
Those who set at nought and sold him,
Pierced and nailed him to the tree,
Deeply wailing
Shall the true Messiah see.
3 Those dear tokens of his passion
Still his dazzling body bears,
Cause of endless exultation
To his ransomed worshippers:
With what rapture
Gaze we on those glorious scars!
4 Yea, Amen! let all adore thee,
High on thine eternal throne;
Saviour, take the power and glory:
Claim the kingdom for thine own:
O come quickly!
Alleluya! Come, Lord, come!

Born himself of woman,
God divinely human. [Refrain]

She believed, she obeyed.
In her womb God is laid;
Till the time expected
Nurtured and protected. [Refrain]

Bethlem shines, like a star,
Stable door stands ajar.
Unborn Son of Mary,
Saviour, do not tarry!

On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry
Author: Charles Coffin, 1676-1749; John Chandler, 1808-76 Hymnal: NEH1985 #12 (1986) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 ON Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry
Announces that the Lord is nigh;
Come then and hearken, for he brings
Glad tidings of the King of kings.
2 Then cleansed be every Christian breast,
And furnished for so great a guest!
Yea, let us each our hearts prepare
For Christ to come and enter there.
3 For thou art our salvation, Lord,
Our refuge and our great reward;
Without thy grace our souls must fade,
And wither like a flower decayed.
4 Stretch forth thine hand to heal our sore,
And make us rise, to fall no more;
Once more upon thy people shine,
And fill the world with love divine.
5 All praise, eternal Son, to thee
Whose advent sets thy people free,
Whom, with the Father, we adore,
And Spirit blest, for evermore. Amen. Topics: St. John the Baptist; The Christian Year Advent Languages: English Tune Title: WINCHESTER NEW
On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry
O quickly come, dread Judge of all
Author: Lawrence Tuttiet, 1825-97 Hymnal: NEH1985 #13 (1986) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O QUICKLY come, dread Judge of all;
For, awful though thine advent be,
All shadows from the truth will fall,
And falsehood die, in sight of thee:
O quickly come; for doubt and fear
Like clouds dissolve when thou art near.
2 O quickly come, great King of all;
Reign all around us, and within;
Let sin no more our souls enthral,
Let pain and sorrow die with sin:
O quickly come; for thou alone
Canst make thy scattered people one.
3 O quickly come, true Life of all,
For death is mighty all around;
On every home his shadows fall,
On every heart his mark is found:
O quickly come; for grief and pain
Can never cloud thy glorious reign.
4 O quickly come, sure Light of all,
For gloomy night broods o'er our way,
And weakly souls begin to fall
With weary watching for the day:
O quickly come; for round thy throne
No eye is blind, no night is known. Languages: English Tune Title: VATER UNSER

The advent of our God
Author: Charles Coffin, 1676-1749; H. Putman, 1861-1935 Hymnal: NEH1985 #14 (1986) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 THE advent of our God
With eager prayers we greet,
And singing haste upon the road
His glorious gift to meet.
2 The everlasting Son
Scorns not the Virgin's womb;
That we from bondage may be won
He bears a bondsman's doom.
3 Daughter of Sion, rise
To meet thy lowly King;
Let not thy stubborn heart despise
The peace he comes to bring.
4 On clouds of dazzling light,
As judge he comes again,
His scattered people to unite,
With him in heaven to reign.
5 Let evil flee away,
Ere that great hour shall dawn,
Let this old Adam day by day
The new Man all put on.
6 Praise to the incarnate Son,
Who comes to set us free,
With Father and with Spirit One,
To all eternity. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ST THOMAS

The Lord will come and not be slow
Author: John Milton, 1608-74 Hymnal: NEH1985 #15 (1986) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 THE Lord will come and not be slow,
His footsteps cannot err;
Before him righteousness shall go,
His royal harbinger.
2 Truth from the earth, like to a flower,
Shall bud and blossom then;
And justice from her heavenly bower,
Look down on mortal men.
3 Rise, God, judge thou the earth in might,
This wicked earth redress;
For thou art he who shalt by right
The nations all possess.
4 The nations all whom thou hast made
Shall come, and all shall frame
To bow them low before thee, Lord,
And glorify thy name.
5 For great thou art, and wonders great
By thy strong hand are done:
Thou in thy everlasting seat
Remainest God alone. Topics: The Christian Year Advent; The Church The Kingdom of God Scripture: Psalm 82 Languages: English Tune Title: ST STEPHEN

The watchmen all the air are filling,
Arise, Jerusalem, arise!
Midnight strikes! no more delaying,
'The hour has come!' we hear them saying.
Where are ye all, ye virgins wise?
The Bridegroom comes in sight,
Raise high your torches bright!
Alleluya!
The wedding song
Swells loud and strong:
Go forth and join the festal throng.
2 Sion hears the watchmen shouting,
Her heart leaps up with joy undoubting,
She stands and waits with eager eyes;
See her Friend from heaven descending,
Adorned with truth and grace unending!
Her light burns clear, her star doth rise.
Now come, thou precious Crown,
Lord Jesu, God’s own Son!
Hosanna!
Let us prepare
To follow there,
Where in thy supper we may share.
3 Every soul in thee rejoices;
From men and from angelic voices
Be glory given to thee alone!
Now the gates of pearl receive us,
Thy presence never more shall leave us,
We stand with Angels round thy throne.
Earth cannot give below
The bliss thou dost bestow.
Alleluya!
Grant us to raise,
To length of days,
The triumph-chorus of thy praise. Languages: English Tune Title: WACHET AUF
Wake, O wake! with tidings thrilling
When came in flesh the incarnate Word
Author: Joseph Anstice, 1808-36 Hymnal: NEH1985 #17 (1986) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 WHEN came in flesh the incarnate Word,
The heedless world slept on,
And only simple shepherds heard
That God had sent his Son.
2 When comes the Saviour at the last,
From east to west shall shine
The judgement light, and earth aghast
Shall tremble at the sign.
3 Then shall the pure of heart be blest,
As mild he comes to them,
As when upon the Virgin’s breast
He lay at Bethlehem:
4 As mild to meek-eyed love and faith,
Only more strong to save;
Strengthened by having bowed to death,
By having burst the grave.
5 Lord, who could dare see thee descend
In state, unless he knew
Thou art the sorrowing sinner’s friend,
The gracious and the true?
6 Dwell in our hearts, O Saviour blest;
So shall thine advent’s dawn
’Twixt us and thee, our bosom-guest,
Be but the veil withdrawn. Topics: The Christian Year Advent Languages: English Tune Title: WALSALL
