The King is drawing nigh; Arise and hail with gladness The Ruler from on high. Ye Christians, hasten forth! Your praise and homage bring Him And glad hosannas sing Him; Naught else your love is worth. 2 Arise, ye drooping mourners! The King is very near; Away with grief and sorrow! For, lo! your Help is here. Behold, in many a place-- Oh, blessed consolation!-- You find Him, your Salvation, Within His means of grace. 3 Arise, ye much afflicted! The King is not afar. Rejoice, ye long dejected, Here comes the Morning Star! The Lord will give you joy; Tho' troubles now distress you, With comfort He will bless you, E’en death He will destroy. 4 Arise, ye poor and needy! The King provides for you; He comes with succor speedy, With mercy ever new. Receive your gracious King, The Giver of all blessing. Hail Him, His name confessing, And glad hosannas sing. 5 Be righteous, ye His subjects, The King is just and true; Prepare for Him a highway, Make all things straight and new. For, lo, He means it well; Then willing bear the crosses That He Himself imposes, Nor let your courage fail. 6 O rich the gifts Thou bringest, Thyself made poor and weak! O Love beyond expression, That thus can sinners seek! For this, O Lord, will we Our joyous tribute bring Thee And glad hosannas sing Thee, And ever grateful be. Amen.

Trav'ler, yes; it brings the day, Promised day of Israel. 2 Watchman, tell us of the night; Higher yet that star ascends. Trav'ler, blessedness and light, Peace and truth, its course portends. Watchman, will its beams alone Gild the spot that gave them birth? Trav'ler, ages are its own; See, it bursts o’er all the earth. 3 Watchman, tell us of the night, For the morning seems to dawn. Trav'ler, darkness takes its flight; Doubt and terror are withdrawn. Watchman, let thy wand'rings cease; Hie thee to thy quiet home. Trav'ler, lo! the Prince of Peace, Lo, the Son of God is come!

The marriage-feast is waiting, The gates wide open stand; Up, up, ye heirs of glory; The Bridegroom is at hand! 3 Ye saints, who here in patience Your cross and suff'rings bore, Shall live and reign forever When sorrow is no more. Around the throne of glory The Lamb ye shall behold; In triumph cast before Him Your diadems of gold! 4 Our Hope and Expectation, O Jesus, now appear; Arise, Desire of nations, O'er this benighted sphere. With hearts and hands uplifted, We plead, O Lord, to see The day of earth’s redemption, That brings us unto Thee! Amen.

Come, then, O Lord Jesus, From our sins release us; Let us here confess Thee Till in heav'n we bless Thee. Amen.

Ye Sons of Men, Oh, Hearken

Russell Hymnal: LH1941 #75 (1941) Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Ye sons of men, oh, hearken: Your heart and mind prepare; To hail th’Almighty Savior, O sinners, be your care. He who of grace alone Our Life and Light was given, The promised Lord from heaven, Unto our world is shown. 2 Prepare the way before Him; Prepare for Him the best. Cast out whate’er offendeth 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 lifteth up on high; Beneath His feet in anguish 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 grant that I receive Thee This blessed Advent-tide. From stall and manger low Come Thou to dwell within me; Loud praises will I sing Thee And forth Thy glory show. Amen.
