Comfort, Comfort O My People
Author: Catherine Winkworth; Johannes Olearius Hymnal: NCH1995 #101 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 "Comfort, comfort O my people,
tell of peace," thus says our God;
Comfort those whose hearts are shrouded,
mourning under sorrow’s load.
Speak unto Jerusalem
of the peace that waits for them;
Tell them that their sins I cover,
and their warfare now is over.
2 For the herald’s voice is calling
in the desert far and near,
Bidding us to make repentance
since the realm of God is here.
Oh, that warning cry obey!
Now prepare for God a way;
Let the valleys rise in meeting
and the hills bow down in greeting.
3 Straight shall be what long was crooked,
and the rougher places plain!
Let your hearts be true and humble,
for Messiah's holy reign.
For God's glory evermore
shall be known o'er all the world;
And all flesh shall see the token
that God's word is never broken. Topics: Advent; Comfort and Assurance; God Realm of; Jesus Christ Advent; Prophets; Year B Advent 2 Scripture: Isaiah 40:1-8 Languages: English Tune Title: PSALM 42 (FREU DICH SEHR)

O How Shall I Receive You
Author: Paul Gerhardt; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: NCH1995 #102 (1995) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 O how shall I receive you,
how meet you on your way,
blessed hope of every people,
my soul's delight and stay?
O Jesus, Jesus, give me now
by your own pure light,
to know whate'er is pleasing
and welcome in your sight.
2 Love caused your incarnation;
love brought you down to me;
your thirst for my salvation
procured my liberty.
O love beyond all telling,
that led you to embrace
in love, all love excelling,
our lost and fallen race.
3 You come, O Christ, with gladness,
in mercy and goodwill,
to bring an end to sadness
and bid our fears be still.
In patient expectation
we live for that great day
when a renewed creation
your glory shall display.

Watcher, Tell Us of the Night
Author: John Bowring Hymnal: NCH1995 #103 (1995) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 1 Watcher, tell us of the night,
what its signs of promise are.
Traveler, O a wondrous sight!
See that glory-beaming star!
Watcher, does its beauteous ray
news of joy or hope foretell?
Traveler, yes; it brings the day,
promised day of Israel!
2 Watcher, tell us of the night;
higher yet that star ascends.
Traveler, blessedness and light,
peace and truth its course portends.
Watcher, will its beams alone
gild the spot that gave them birth?
Traveler, ages are its own;
see, it bursts o’er all the earth!
3 Watcher, tell us of the night,
for the morning seems to dawn.
Traveler, shadows take their flight,
doubt and terror are withdrawn.
Watcher, you may go your way;
hasten to your quiet home.
Traveler, I rejoice today,
for Emmanuel has come! Topics: Advent; Jesus Christ Advent; Jesus Christ Birth and Infancy; Jesus Christ Strength and Refuge; Year B Advent 1; Year C Advent 1 Scripture: Isaiah 21:11-12 Languages: English Tune Title: ABERYSTWYTH

Author: Carol Birkland Hymnal: NCH1995 #105 (1995) Meter: 7.8.8.11 Lyrics: 1 "Gentle Joseph, Joseph dear,
stay with me, for the baby's near;
God will surely your goodness hear,
as you will love this new-born child," says Mary.

I will cradle the child divine;
Here will heaven and earth combine,
for you will bear God's child, O dearest Mary."

heaven and earth with this song will fill;
Soon will God, in the evening still,
be born in Bethlehem, the child of Mary.

Awake! Awake, and Greet the New Morn
Author: Marty Haugen Hymnal: NCH1995 #107 (1995) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.7.8.9 First Line: Awake! awake and greet the new morn Lyrics: 1 Awake! Awake and greet the new morn,
for angels herald its dawning.
sing out your joy, for Jesus is born,
behold! the Child of our longing.
Come as a baby weak and poor,
to bring all hearts together,
to open wide the heavenly door,
and lives now inside us forever.
2 To us, to all in sorrow and fear,
Emmanuel comes a-singing,
whose humble song is quiet and near,
yet fills the earth with its ringing.
Music to heal the broken soul
and hymns of loving kindness,
the thunder of the anthems roll
to shatter all hate and injustice.
3 In deepest night Christ's coming shall be,
when all the world is despairing,
as morning light so quiet and free,
so warm and gentle and caring.
One without voice breaks forth in song,
a lame one leaps in wonder,
the weak are raised above the strong,
and weapons are broken asunder.
4 Rejoice, rejoice, take heart in the night,
though cold the winter and cheerless,
the rising sun shall crown you with light,
be strong and loving and fearless;
Love be our song and love our prayer,
and love, our endless story,
may God fill every day we share,
and bring us at last into glory.
