How Lovely, Lord (Psalm 84)
Author: Arlo D. Duba Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 18 hymnals Scripture: Luke 12:32-34 First Line: How lovely, Lord, how lovely Lyrics: 1 How lovely, Lord, how lovely
is your abiding place;
my soul is longing, fainting,
to feast upon your grace.
The sparrow finds a shelter,
a place to build her nest;
and so your temple calls us
within its walls to rest.
2 In your blest courts to worship,
O God, a single day
is better than a thousand
if I from you should stray.
I'd rather keep the entrance
and claim you as my Lord
than revel in the riches
the ways of sin afford.
3 A sun and shield forever
are you, O Lord Most High;
you shower us with blessings;
no good will you deny.
The saints, your grace receiving,
from strength to strength shall go,
and from their life shall rivers
of blessing overflow.

Sleepers, Wake
Author: Philipp Nicolai; Carl P. Daw Jr.; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.9.8.8.9.8.6.6.4.8.8 Appears in 11 hymnals Scripture: Luke 12:35-40 First Line: “Sleepers, wake!” A voice astounds us Lyrics: 1 “Sleepers, wake!” A voice astounds us.
The shout of rampart guards surrounds us:
“Awake, Jerusalem, arise!”
Midnight’s peace their cry has broken,
their urgent summons clearly spoken:
“The time has come, O maidens wise!
Rise up, and give us light.
The Bridegroom is in sight.
Alleluia!
Your lamps prepare and hasten there,
that you the wedding feast may share.”
2 When we hear the heralds singing,
and in our hearts new joy is springing;
we wake, and rise up from our gloom;
for our Friend comes down all-glorious,
the strong in grace, in truth victorious;
our Star is risen, our Light is come!
Now come, O blessed One,
God's own beloved Son,
Alleluia!
Oh, hear the call! Come one, come all,
and follow to the banquet hall!
3 All the heavens and earth adore you,
and saints and angels sing before you,
with harp and cymbal's clearest tone;
gates of gleaming pearl before us
resound as angels sing in chorus
and lead us to your dazzling throne.
No eye has seen that light,
no ear the echoed might
of your glory;
but we rejoice and sing the song,
Alleluia! through ages long. Topics: Gathering; Heritage 16th-Century; Jesus Christ Second Coming of; Jesus Christ Teachings of; Praise; Reign of Christ Used With Tune: WACHET AUF Text Sources: “Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme,” Appendix to Freuden-Spiegel des ewigen Lebens, 1599

Lord Jesus Christ, the Church's Head
Author: Johann Mentzer, 1658-1734; William J. Schaefer, 1891-1976 Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.5.6.6.7 Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: Luke 12:32 Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, the Church's head,
you are her one foundation;
in you she trusts, before you bows,
and waits for your salvation.
Built on this rock secure,
your Church shall endure
though all the world decay
and all things pass away.
O hear, O hear us, Jesus!
2 O Lord, let this your little flock,
your name alone confessing,
continue in your loving care,
true unity possessing.
Your sacraments, O Lord,
and your saving Word
to us e'er pure retain;
grant that they may remain
our only strength and comfort.
3 Help us to serve you evermore
with hearts both pure and lowly;
and may your Word, that light divine,
shine on in splendor holy
that we repentance show,
in faith ever grow;
the pow'r of sin destroy
and evils that annoy.
O make us faithful Christians.
4 And for your gospel let us dare
to sacrifice all treasure;
teach us to bear your blessed cross,
to find in you all pleasure.
O grant us steadfastness
in joy and distress.
Lord, for your mercy's sake,
let us by grace partake
of endless joy and glory. Topics: Church Used With Tune: REUTER
