There's a Voice in the Wilderness Crying

Author: James L. Milligan Hymnal: CWLH1993 #13 (1993) Meter: Irregular Tune Title: ASCENSION Lyrics: 1 There's a voice in the wilderness crying, A call from the ways untrod: Prepare in the desert a highway, A highway for our God! The valleys shall be exalted, The lofty hills brought low; Make straight all the crooked places Where the Lord our God may go! 2 O Christians, you bring good tidings; Get up to the heights and sing! Proclaim to a desolate people The coming of their King. Like the flow'rs of the field they perish; Like grass their works decay. The pow'r and pomp of nations Shall pass like a dream away; 3 But the Word of our God is eternal; The arm of the Lord is strong. He stands in the midst of the nations, And he shall right the wrong. He shall feed his flock like a shepherd, The lambs shall gently hold, To pastures of peace shall lead them, And bring them safe to his fold. Topics: Advent; Advent Languages: English

How Shall They Hear the Word of God

Author: Michael A. Perry, b. 1942 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #575 (1993) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Tune Title: AUCH JETZT MACHT GOTT Lyrics: 1 How shall they hear the Word of God Unless the truth is told? How shall the sinful be set free, The sorrowful consoled? To all who speak the truth today Impart your Spirit, Lord, we pray. 2 How shall they call to God for help Unless they have believed? How shall the poor be given hope, The prisoner reprieved? To those who help the blind to see, Give light and love and charity. 3 How shall the gospel be proclaimed If heralds are not sent? How shall the world find peace at last If we are negligent? So send us, Lord, for we rejoice To speak of Christ with life and voice. Topics: Missions; Missions Languages: English

Awake, My Heart, with Gladness

Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-76; John Kelly, 1833-90 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #156 (1993) Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.6.6.6 Tune Title: AUF, AUF, MEIN HERZ First Line: Awake, my heart, with gladness! Lyrics: 1 Awake, my heart, with gladness! See what today is done; Now, after gloom and sadness, Comes forth the glorious sun. My Savior there was laid Where our bed must be made When to the realms of light Our spirit wings its flight. 2 The Foe in triumph shouted When Christ lay in the tomb. But lo, he now is routed; His boast is turned to gloom. For Christ again is free; In glorious victory He who is strong to save Has triumphed o'er the grave. 3 This is a sight that gladdens-- What peace it does impart! Now nothing ever saddens The joy within my heart. No gloom shall ever shake, No foe shall ever take The hope which God's own Son In love for me has won. 4 Now I will cling forever To Christ, my Savior true; My Lord will leave me never, Whate'er he passes through. He rends death's iron chain; He breaks through sin and pain. He shatters hell's dark thrall; I follow him through all. 5 He brings me to the portal That leads to bliss untold, Whereon this rhyme immortal Is found in script of gold: "Who there my cross has shared Finds here a crown prepared; Who there with me has died Shall here be glorified."

Though heavy griefs are pressing, He'll turn them into blessing. 2 My sins assail me sore, But I despair no more. I build on Christ, who loves me; From this rock nothing moves me. To him I all surrender, To him, my soul's defender. 3 If death my portion be, Then death is gain for me And Christ my life forever, From whom death cannot sever. Come when it may, he'll shield me; To him I gladly yield me. 4 "So be it, then," I say With all my heart each day. We, too, dear Lord, adore you; We sing for joy before you. Guide us while here we wander Until we praise you yonder. Topics: Trust; Trust Languages: English

He heals all my diseases; My soul he does redeem. I lay my griefs on Jesus, My burdens and my cares; He from them all releases; He all my sorrows shares. 3 I rest my soul on Jesus, This weary soul of mine. His right hand me embraces; I in his arms recline. I love the name of Jesus, Immanuel, Christ, the Lord; Like fragrance on the breezes His name abroad is poured. 4 I long to be like Jesus: Meek, loving, lowly, mild; I long to be like Jesus, The Father's holy child. I long to be with Jesus Amid the heav'nly throng To sing with saints his praises, To learn the angels' song. Topics: Redeemer; Redeemer Languages: English

The Church's One Foundation

Author: Samuel J. Stone, 1839-1900 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #538 (1993) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Tune Title: AURELIA Lyrics: 1 The Church's one foundation Is Jesus Christ, her Lord; She is his new creation By water and the Word. From heav'n he came and sought her To be his holy bride; With his own blood he bought her, And for her life he died. 2 Elect from ev'ry nation, Yet one o'er all the earth; Her charter of salvation: One Lord, one faith, one birth. One holy name she blesses, Partakes one holy food, And to one hope she presses, With ev'ry grace endued. 3 The Church shall never perish. Her dear Lord, to defend, To guide, sustain, and cherish, Is with her to the end. Though there be those that hate her And strive to see her fail, Against both foe and traitor She ever shall prevail. 4 Though with a scornful wonder The world sees her oppressed, By schisms rent asunder, By heresies distressed, Yet saints their watch are keeping; Their cry goes up, "How long?" And soon the night of weeping Shall be the morn of song. 5 Mid toil and tribulation And tumult of her war She waits the consummation Of peace forevermore Till with the vision glorious Her longing eyes are blest And the great Church victorious Shall be the Church at rest.

Make us your faithful servants You rightly to adore, And fill us with your blessing Both now and evermore. Topics: Evangelism; Evangelism Languages: English

Lyrics: 1 Arise, O Christian people! Prepare yourselves today. Prepare to greet the Savior, Who takes your sins away. To us by grace alone The truth and light was given; The promised Lord from heaven To all the world is shown. 2 Prepare the way before him; Prepare for him the best. Cast out what would offend him, This great, this heav'nly guest. Make straight, make plain the way: The lowly valleys raising, The heights of pride abasing, His path all even lay. 3 The humble heart and lowly God raises up on high; Beneath his feet in terror The haughty soul shall lie. The heart sincere and right, That heeds God's invitation And makes true preparation -- It is the Lord's delight. 4 Prepare my heart, Lord Jesus; Turn not from me aside, And help me to receive you This blessed Adventtide. From stall and manger low Come now to dwell within me; I'll sing your praises gladly And forth your glory show. Topics: Advent; Advent Languages: English

From Depths of Woe I Cry to You

Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78; Gracia Grindal, b. 1943 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #305 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Tune Title: AUS TIEFER NOT Lyrics: 1 From depths of woe I cry to you; Lord, hear me, I implore you. Bend down your gracious ear to me; My prayer let come before you. If you kept record of my sin And held against me what I've been, How could I stand before you? 2 Your love and grace alone avail To blot out my transgression. The best and holiest deeds must fail To break sin's dread oppression. Before you none can boasting stand, But all must fear your strict demand And live alone by mercy. 3 Therefore my hope is in the Lord And not in my own merit; It rests upon his faithful Word To them of contrite spirit. That he is merciful and just-- This is my comfort and my trust. His help I wait with patience. 4 [Text copyrighted] Topics: Confession and Absolution; Confession and Absolution Languages: English
