Creator of the stars of night

Author: John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: TBP1997 #111 (1997) Lyrics: 1 Creator of the stars of night, your people’s everlasting light, O Christ, the Saviour of us all, we pray, oh hear us when we call. 2 To you the labour pain was known that made the whole creation groan, until the time that you would free your own in glorious liberty. 3 Old was the world that drew toward night; you came, but not in splendour bright as monarch, but the humble child of Mary, faithful mother mild. 4 At your great name, Christ Jesus, now all knees must bend; all hearts must bow; all things on earth with one accord join those in heaven your name shall bless. 5 Come in your holy might, we pray; redeem us for eternal day, when all your judgements will be known and power of darkness overthrown. 6 To God the Father, God the Son and God the Spirit, Three-in-One, laud, honour, might and glory be from age to age eternally. Amen. Topics: Church Year Advent; Creation; Freedom / Liberation; Hymns with Doxologies; Jesus Christ Name of; Light Scripture: Isaiah 9:1-2 Languages: English Tune Title: CONDITOR ALME SIDERUM

Speak you to 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 kingdom now 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 Make you straight what long was crooked; make the rougher places plain; let your hearts be true and humble, as befits God's holy reign, for the glory of the Lord now o'er earth is shed abroad, and all flesh shall see the token that God's word is never broken.

Hail to the Lord's Anointed

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: TBP1997 #115 (1997) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Lord's Anointed, great David's greater Son; hail, in the time appointed, his reign on earth begun! He comes to break oppression, to set the captive free, to take away transgression, and rule in equity. 2 He brings salvation speedy to those who suffer wrong; he saves the poor and needy, and helps the weak be strong; they sing who once were sighing, their darkness turned to light, for they, who once were dying, are precious in his sight. 3 He shall come down like showers upon the fruitful earth, and love, joy, hope, like flowers, spring in his path to birth. Before Him on the mountains shall peace, the herald, go, and righteousness, in fountains, from hill to valley flow. 4 All powers shall bow before him, and gold and incense bring; all nations shall adore him, his praise all people sing, for he shall have dominion o'er river, sea and shore, far as the eagle's pinion or dove's light wing can soar. 5 O'er every foe victorious, Christ on his throne shall rest, from age to age more glorious, all-blessing and all-blest: the tide of time shall never his covenant remove; his name shall stand forever- that name to us is Love.
