Drop down, ye heavens, from above

Hymnal: NEH1985 #501 (1986) Lyrics: Antiphon: [Cantor] Drop down, ye heavens, from above, [All] and let the skies pour down righteousness. 1 Be not wroth very sore, O Lord, neither remember iniquity forever: thy holy cities are a wilderness, Sion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation: our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee. [Antiphon] 2 We have sinned, and are as an unclean thing, and we all do fade as a leaf: and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away: thou hast hid thy face from us: and hast consumed us, because of our iniquites. [Antiphon] 3 Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know me and believe me: I, even I, am the Lord, and beside me there is no Saviour: and there is none that can deliver out of my hand. [Antiphon] 4 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, my salvation shall not tarry: I have blotted out as a thick cloud thy transgressions: Fear not, for I will save thee: For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Redeemer.

Saviour eternal!

Author: M. J. Blacker, 1822-88 Hymnal: NEH1985 #502 (1986) Lyrics: 1 Saviour eternal! Health and life of the world unfailing. 2 Light everlasting! And in verity our redemption, 3 Grieving that the ages of men must perish Thro' the tempter's subtlety, 4 Still in heav'n abiding, thou cames earth-ward Of thine own great clemency: 5 Then freely and graciously Deigning to assume humanity, 6 To lost ones and perishing Gavest thou thy free deliverance, Filling all the world with joy. 7 O Christ, our souls and bodies cleanse By thy perfect sacrifice; 8 That we as temples pure and bright Fit for thine abode may be. 9 By thy former advent justify, 10 By thy second grant us liberty: 11 That when in the might of glory Thou descendest, Judge of all, 12 We in raiment undefiled, Bright may shine, and ever follow, Lord, thy footsteps blest, where'er they lead us.

O Wisdom, which camest out of the mouth of the most High

Hymnal: NEH1985 #503 (1986) Lyrics: 1 O Sapientia: O Wisdom, which camest out of the mouth of the most High, and reaches from one end to another, mightily, and sweetly ordering all things: Come and teach us the way of prudence. 2 O Adonai: O Adonai, and Leader of the house of Israel, who appearedst in the Bush to Moses in a flame of fire, and gavest him the law in Sinai: Come and deliver us with an out-stretched arm. 3 O radix Jesse: O Root of Jesse, which standest for an ensign of the people, at whom kings shall shut their mouths, to whom the Gentiles shall seek: Come and deliver us, and tarry not. 4 O Clavis David: O Key of David, and sceptre of the house of Israel: that openest, and no man shutteth; and shuttest and no man openeth: Come, and bring the prisoner out of the prison-house, and him that sitteth in darkness, and the shadow of death. 5 O oriens: O Dayspring, Brightness of Light everlasting, and Sun of righteousness: Come, and enlighten him that sitteth in darkness, and the shadow of death. 6 O Rex Gentium: O King of the nations, and their Desire; the Cornerstone, who makest both one: Come, and save mankind, whom thou formedst of clay. 7 O Emmanuel: O Emmanuel, our King and Lawgiver, the Desire of all nations, and their Salvation: Come and save us O Lord, our God. 8 O Virgo Virginum: O Virgin of virgins, how shall this be? for neither before thee was any like thee, nor shall there be after.

Come rejoicing

Hymnal: NEH1985 #505 (1986) Lyrics: 1 Come rejoicing, Faithful men, with rapture singing Alleluya! 2 Monarchs' Monarch, From a holy maiden springing, Mighty wonder! 3 Angel of the Counsel here, Sun from star he doth appear, Born of maiden: 4 He a sun who knows no night, She a star whose paler light Fadeth never. 5 As a star its kindred ray, Mary doth her Child display, Like in nature; 6 Still undimmed the star shines on, And the maiden bears a Son, Pure as ever. 7 Lebanon his cedar tall To the hyssop on the wall Lowly bendeth; 8 From the highest, him we name Word of God, to human frame Now descendeth. 9 Yet the synagogue denied What Esaias had descried: Blindness fell upon the guide. 10 If her prophets speak in vain, Let her heed a gentile strain, And, from mystic Sybil, gain Light and leading. 11 No longer then delay, Hear what the Scriptures say, Why be cast away A race forlorn? 12 Turn and this Child behold, That very Son, of old In God's writ foretold, A maid hath borne.
