his actions great and manifold.

When the King Shall Come Again
Author: Christopher M. Idle, b. 1938 Hymnal: Christian Worship #307 (2021) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Scripture: Matthew 11:2-6 Lyrics: 1 When the King shall come again,
all his pow'r revealing,
splendor shall announce his reign,
life and joy and healing,
earth no longer in decay,
hope no more frustrated.
This is God's redemption day
longingly awaited.
2 In the desert trees take root,
fresh from his creation;
plants and flow'rs and sweetest fruit
join the celebration.
Rivers spring up from the earth,
barren lands adorning.
Valleys, this is your new birth;
mountains, greet the morning!
3 Strengthen feeble hands and knees,
fainting hearts be cheerful!
God, who comes for such as these,
seeks and saves the fearful.
Deaf ears, hear the silent tongues
sing away their weeping;
blind eyes, see the lifeless ones
walking, running, leaping.
4 There God's highway shall be seen
where no roaring lion,
nothing evil or unclean
Walks the road to Zion.
Ransomed people, homeward bound,
all your praises voicing,
see your Lord with glory crowned;
share in his rejoicing! Topics: Advent Languages: English Tune Title: GAUDEAMUS PARITER

How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord
Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #395 (1990) Meter: 8.6.7.7.6.6 Scripture: Matthew 11:3 Lyrics: 1 How clear is our vocation, Lord,
when once we heed your call:
to live according to your word,
and daily learn, refreshed, restored
that you are Lord of all,
and will not let us fall.
2 But if, forgetful, we should find
your yoke is hard to bear,
if worldly pressures fray the mind,
and love itself cannot unwind
its tangled skein of care:
our inward life repair.
3 We marvel how your saints become
in hindrances more sure;
whose joyful virtues put to shame
the casual way we wear your name,
and by our faults obscure
your power to cleanse and cure.
4 In what you give us, Lord, to do,
together or alone,
in old routines or ventures new,
may we not cease to look to you,
the cross you hung upon--
all you endeavored done. Topics: God in Society Work and Leisure; Anxiety; Church Ministry and Ministers; Labor Languages: English Tune Title: REPTON

Awake! Awake, and Greet the New Morn
Author: Marty Haugen Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #107 (1995) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.7.8.9 Scripture: Matthew 11:5 First Line: Awake! awake and greet the new morn Lyrics: 1 Awake! Awake and greet the new morn,
for angels herald its dawning.
sing out your joy, for Jesus is born,
behold! the Child of our longing.
Come as a baby weak and poor,
to bring all hearts together,
to open wide the heavenly door,
and lives now inside us forever.
2 To us, to all in sorrow and fear,
Emmanuel comes a-singing,
whose humble song is quiet and near,
yet fills the earth with its ringing.
Music to heal the broken soul
and hymns of loving kindness,
the thunder of the anthems roll
to shatter all hate and injustice.
3 In deepest night Christ's coming shall be,
when all the world is despairing,
as morning light so quiet and free,
so warm and gentle and caring.
One without voice breaks forth in song,
a lame one leaps in wonder,
the weak are raised above the strong,
and weapons are broken asunder.
4 Rejoice, rejoice, take heart in the night,
though cold the winter and cheerless,
the rising sun shall crown you with light,
be strong and loving and fearless;
Love be our song and love our prayer,
and love, our endless story,
may God fill every day we share,
and bring us at last into glory.

All You Who Seek a Comfort Sure
Author: Edwad Caswall, 1814-1878 Hymnal: Catholic Book of Worship III #425 (1994) Scripture: Matthew 11:1-6 Lyrics: 1 All you who seek a comfort sure
In sadness and distress,
Whatever sorrow burdens you,
Whatever griefs oppress:
When Jesus gave himself for us
And died upon the tree,
His heart was pierced for love of us;
He died to set us free.
2 Now hear him as he speaks to us
Those words for ever blest:
"All you who labor, come to me,
And I will give you rest."
O heart adored by saints on high,
And hope of sinners here,
We place our ev'ry trust in you
And lift to you our prayer. Topics: Comfort/Consolation; Healing; Sacraments/Rites Reconciliation; Order of Christian Funerals Funeral Liturgy; Sacred Heart Languages: English Tune Title: KINGSFOLD
