The Lord will come and not be slow
Author: John Milton, 1608-1674 Hymnal: CPAM2000 #37 (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The Lord will come and not be slow,
his footsteps cannot err;
before him righteousness shall go,
his royal harbinger.
2 Truth from the earth, like to a flower,
shall bud and blossom then;
and justice, from her heavenly bower,
look down on mortal men.
3 Rise, God, judge thou the earth in might,
this wicked earth redress;
for thou art he who shalt by right
the nations all possess.
4 The nations all whom thou hast made
shall come, and all shall frame
to bow them low before thee, Lord,
and glorify thy name.
5 For great thou art, and wonders great
by thy strong hand are done:
thou in thy everlasting seat
remainest God alone. Topics: Advent; Advent III Year A; Proper 12 Year C; Third Sunday Before Advent Year A Scripture: 2 Peter 3:9 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. STEPHEN
The Lord will come and not be slow
The people that in darkness sat
Author: John Morrison, 1750-1798 Hymnal: CPAM2000 #38 (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The people that in darkness sat
a glorious light have seen;
the light has shined on them who long
in shades of death have been.
2 To hail thee, Sun of Righteousness,
the gathering nations come;
they joy as when the reapers bear
their harvest treasures home.
*3 For thou their burden dost remove,
and break the tyrant's rod,
as in the day when Midian fell
before the sword of God.
4 For unto us a child is born,
to us a Son is given,
and on his shoulder ever rests
all power in earth and heaven.
5 His name shall be the Prince of Peace,
the everlasting Lord,
the Wonderful, the Counsellor,
the God by all adored.
6 His righteous government and power
shall over all extend;
on judgement and on justice based,
his reign shall have no end.
7 Lord Jesus, reign in us, we pray,
and make us thine alone,
who with the Father ever art
and Holy Spirit One. Topics: Advent III Year B; Advent III Year C; Epiphany III Year C; Second Sunday Before Advent Year C Scripture: Isaiah 9:2-8 Languages: English Tune Title: DUNDEE

arise, Jerusalem, arise!
Midnight strikes! No more delaying,

'where are ye all, ye virgins wise?
The Bridegroom comes in sight,
raise high your torches bright!'

her heart leaps up with joy undoubting,
she stands and waits with eager eyes;
see her Friend from heaven descending,
adorned with truth and grace unending!
Her light burns clear, her star doth rise.
Now come, thou precious Crown,
Lord Jesus, God's own Son!
Alleluia!
Let us prepare to follow there,
where in thy supper we may share.

from earth and from angelic voices
be glory given to thee alone!
Now the gates of pearl receive us,
thy presence never more shall leave us,
we stand with angels round thy throne.
Earth cannot give below
the bliss thou dost bestow.
Alleluia!
Grant us to raise, to length of days,
the triumph-chorus of thy praise. Topics: Advent I Year A; Advent I Year C; Christ the King Year C Scripture: Isaiah 52:10 Languages: English Tune Title: WACHET AUF

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
Author: Anonymous Hymnal: CPAM2000 #45 (2000) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Lyrics: 1 Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
the little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head;
the stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay,
the little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.
2 The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes,
but little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes.
I love thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky
and stay by my side until morning is nigh.
3 Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask thee to stay
close by me for ever, and love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care,
and fit us for heaven, to live with thee there.

himself a house of clay,
a robe of virgin flesh he takes
which he will wear for aye.

like a weak infant cries;
in form of servant is the Lord,
and God in cradle lies.
3 This wonder struck the world amazed,
it shook the starry frame;
squadrons of spirits stood and gazed,
then down in troops they came.
4 Glad shepherds ran to view this sight;
a choir of angels sings,
and eastern sages with delight
adore this King of kings.
5 Join then, all hearts that are not stone,
and all our voices prove,
to celebrate this Holy One,
the God of peace and love. Topics: Christmas II Scripture: John 1:14 Languages: English Tune Title: THIS ENDRIS NYGHT
