announces that the Lord is nigh:
awake and listen for he brings
glad tidings of the King of kings.

make straight the way for God within,
and so prepare to be the home
where such a mighty guest may come.
3 For you are our salvation, Lord,
our refuge and our great reward;
without your grace we waste away
like flowers that wither and decay.
4 To heal the sick, stretch out your hand,
and make the fallen sinner stand;
shine out, and let your light restore
earth's own true loveliness once more.
5 To you, O Christ, all praises be,
whose advent set your people free;
whom with the Father we adore
and Holy Spirit evermore! Used With Tune: PUER NOBIS

My Song Is Love Unknown
Author: Samuel Crossman Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 127 hymnals Scripture: John 1:11 Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown,
my Savior’s love to me,
love to the loveless shown
that they might lovely be.
O who am I,
that for my sake
my Lord should take
frail flesh, and die?
2 He came from his blest throne
all made strange, and none
the longed-for Christ would know.
But, O, my Friend,
my fFiend indeed,
who at my need
his life did spend!
3 Sometimes they strew his way,
and his strong praises sing,
resounding all the way
Hosannas to their King.
Then “Crucify!”
is all their breath,
and for his death
they thirst and cry.
4 Why, what hath my Lord done?
What makes this rage and spite?
He made the lame to run,
he gave the blind their sight.
Sweet injuries!
Ye they at these
themselves displease,
and 'gainst him rise.
5 They rise, and needs will have
my dear Lord made away;
a murderer they save,
the Prince of life they slay.
Yet cheerful he
to suff'ring goes,
that he his foes
from thence might free.
6 In life, no house, no home
my Lord on earth might have;
in death, no friendly tomb
but what a stranger gave.
What may I say?
Heaven was his home,
but mine the tomb
wherein he lay.
7 Here might I stay and sing,
no story so divine:
never was love, dear King,
never was grief like thine.
This is my Friend,
in whose sweet praise
I all my days
could gladly spend.
