Christians, come, in sweetest measures
Hymnal: ELHL1918 #121 (1918) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Christians, come, in sweetest measures,
Sing of those who spread the treasures
In the holy Gospel shrined;
Blessed tidings of salvation,
Peace on earth their proclamation,
Love from God to lost mankind.
2 See the rivers four that gladden
With their streams the better Eden,
Planted by our Savior dear:
Christ the fountain, these the waters;
Drink, O Zion’s sons and daughters,
Drink, and find salvation here.
3 Here our souls, by Jesus sated,
More and more shall be translated
Earth’s temptations far above:
Freed from sin’s abhorred dominion,
Soaring on angelic pinion,
They shall reach the source of love.
4 Then shall thanks and praise ascending,
For Thy mercies without ending,
Rise to Thee, O Savior blest:
With Thy gracious aid defend us;
Let Thy guiding light attend us;
Bring us to Thy place of rest. Topics: God's Word Languages: English
Christians, come, in sweetest measures
In vain would boasting reason find
Hymnal: ELHL1918 #122 (1918) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 In vain would boating reason find
The path to happiness and God;
Her weak directions leave the mind
Bewildered in a doubtful road.
2 Jesus, Thy words alone impart
Eternal life; on these I live;
Here sweeter comforts cheer my heart
Than all the powers of nature give.
3 Here let my constant feet abide;
Thou art the true, the living Way;
Let Thy good Spirit be my guide
To the bright realms of endless day.
4 The various forms that men devise,
To shake my faith with treacherous art,
I scorn as vanity and lies,
And bind Thy Gospel to my heart. Topics: God's Word Languages: English
In vain would boasting reason find
Father, who the light this day
Hymnal: ELHL1918 #123 (1918) Lyrics: 1 Father, who the light this day
Out of darkness didst create,
Shine upon us now, we pray,
While within Thy courts we wait.
Wean us from the works of night,
Make us children of the light.
2 Savior, who this day didst break
From the bondage of the tomb,
Bid our slumbering souls awake,
And dispel their doubt and gloom;
Let us, from our bonds set free,
Rise from sin and live to Thee.
3 Blessed Spirit, Comforter,
Sent this day from Christ on high,
Lord, on us Thy gifts confer,
Cleanse, illumine, sanctify;
All Thine influence shed abroad;
Lead us to the truth of God. Topics: The Lord's Day Languages: English
Father, who the light this day
Welcome, delightful morn
Hymnal: ELHL1918 #124 (1918) Lyrics: 1 Welcome, delightful morn,
Thou day of sacred rest;
I hail thy kind return:
Lord, make these moments blest.
From the low train of mortal toys
I soar to reach immortal joys.
2 Now may the King descend,
And fill His throne of grace;
Thy scepter, Lord, extend,
While saints address Thy face;
Let sinners feel Thy quickening Word
And learn to know and fear the Lord.
3 Descend, O heavenly Dove,
Will all Thy quickening powers,
Disclose a Savior's love,
And bless these sacred hours:
Then shall my soul new life obtain,
Nor Lord's Days e'er be spent in vain.

Welcome, delightful morn
Safely through another week
Hymnal: ELHL1918 #125 (1918) Lyrics: 1 Safely through another week
God has brought us on our way;
Let us now a blessing seek,
Waiting in His courts today:
Day of all the week the best,
Emblem of eternal rest!
2 Mercies multiplied each hour
Through the week our praise demand;
Guarded by almighty power,
Fed and guided by His hand,
Though ungrateful we have been,
And repaying love with sin.
3 While we pray for pardoning grace,
Through the dear Redeemer's name,
Show Thy reconciléd face,
Take away our sin and shame:
From our worldly cares set free,
May we rest this day in Thee.
4 As we come Thy name to praise
Let us feel Thy presence near;
May Thy glory meet our eyes,
While we in Thy house appear:
Here afford us, Lord, a taste
Of our everlasting feast.
5 May thy Gospel's joyful sound
Conquer sinners, comfort saints;
Make the fruits of grace abound,
Bring relief for all complaints:
Thus may all our Sabbaths prove
Till we join the Church above. Topics: The Lord's Day Languages: English

Over death His triumph won;

Image of Thyself to be,
Fill me with Thy love divine,
Let my every thought be Thine.

Dead and buried here with Thee,
And, by love inflamed, arise
Unto Thee a sacrifice. Topics: The Lord's Day Languages: English

First o'er the earth the light was poured;

And fill our souls with light divine.

In might victorious rose again:
O Jesus, may be raiséd be
From death of sin to life in Thee.

With fiery tongues of cloven flame:
O Spirit, fill our hearts this day
With grace to hear, and grace to pray.

From earthly toils sweet resting-place,
Thy hallowed hours, blest gift of love,
Give we again to God above!

The highest heavens, in which He reigns,
Shall give Him nobler praise.

Comfort, comfort ye my people
Hymnal: ELHL1918 #130 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Comfort, comfort ye my people,
Speak ye peace, thus saith our God;
Comfort those who sit in darkness,
Mourning 'neath their sorrows' load;
Speak ye to Jerusalem
Of the peace that waits for them;
Tell her that her sins I cover,
And her warfare now is over.
2 For the Herald's voice is crying
In the desert far and near,
Bidding all men to repentance,
Since the kingdom now is here.
O, that warning cry obey!
Now prepare for God a way!
Let the valleys rise to meet Him,
And the hills bow down to greet Him.
3 Make ye straight what long was crooked,
Make the rougher places plain:
Let your hearts be true and humble,
As befits His holy reign;
For the glory of the Lord
Now o'er earth is shed abroad,
And all flesh shall see the token
That His Word is never broken. Topics: Advent Languages: English
