Comfort, Comfort, O my People
Author: Johann Olearius, 1611-1684; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878 Hymnal: Worship (3rd ed.) #370 (1986) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Topics: Advent 2, Year B Lyrics: 1 Comfort, comfort, O my people,
Speak of peace, now says our God;
Comfort those who sit in darkness,
Mourning 'neath their sorrows' load.
Speak unto Jerusalem
Of the peace that waits for them;
Tell of all the sins I cover,
And that warfare now is over.
2 Hark, the voice of one who's crying
In the desert far and near.
Bidding all to full repentance
Since the kingdom now is here.
O that warning cry obey!
Now prepare for God a way;
Let the valleys rise to meet him
And the hills bow down to greet him.
3 O make straight what long was crooked,
Make the rougher places plain;
Let your hearts be true and humble,
As befits his holy reign.
For the glory of the Lord
Now o'er earth is shed abroad;
And all flesh shall see the token
That his word is never broken. Scripture: Isaiah 40:1-8 Languages: English Tune Title: GENEVA 42

Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming
Author: Theodore Baker, 1851-1934 Hymnal: Worship (3rd ed.) #374 (1986) Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.6 Topics: Advent 2, Year A Lyrics: 1 Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming
From tender stem hath sprung!
Of Jesse's lineage coming
As seers of old have sung.
It came, a blossom bright,
Amid the cold of winter,
When half spent was the night.
2 Isaiah 'twas foretold it,
The Rose I have in mind,
With Mary we behold it,
The Virgin Mother kind.
To show God's love aright
She bore to us a Savior,
When half spent was the night.
3 O Flower, whose fragrance tender
With sweetness fills the air,
Dispel in glorious splendor
The darkness ev'rywhere;
True man, yet very God,
From sin and death now save us,
And share our ev'ry load. Scripture: Isaiah 11:1 Languages: English Tune Title: ES IST EIN' ROS' ENTSPRUNGEN
Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming
City of God, Jerusalem
Author: Christopher Idle, b. 1938 Hymnal: RitualSong #486 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.7.8.6.12.8 Topics: Advent 2 Year C Lyrics: 1 City of God, Jerusalem,
Where he has set his love;
Church of Christ that is one on earth
With Jerusalem above:
Here as we walk this changing world
Our joys are mixed with tears,
But the day will be soon when the Savior returns
And his voice will banish our fears.
2 Sing and be glad, Jerusalem,
For God does not forget;
He who said he would come to save
Never failed his people yet.
Though we are tempted by despair
And daunted by defeat,
Our invincible Lord will be seen in his strength,
And his triumph will be complete.
3 Sorrow no more, Jerusalem,
Discard your rages of shame!
Take your crown as a gift from God
Who has called you by his name.
Put off your sin, and wear the robe
Of glory in its place;
You will shine in his light, you will share in his joy,
You will praise his wonderful grace.
4 Look all around, Jerusalem,
Survey from west to east;
Sons and daughters of God the king
Are invited to his feast.
Out of their exile far away
His scattered fam'ly come,
And the streets will resound with the songs of the saints
When the Savior welcomes us home. Scripture: Baruch 4 Languages: English Tune Title: PURPOSE

his footsteps cannot err;
before him righteousness shall go,
his royal harbinger.
2 Truth from the earth, like to a flow'r,
shall bud and blossom free;
and justice, from her heav'nly bow'r,
bless all humanity.
3 The nations all whom thou hast made
shall come, and all shall frame
to bow them low before thee, Lord,
and glorify thy name.
4 For great thou art, and wonders great
by thy strong hand are done:
thou in thy everlasting seat
remainest God alone. Scripture: Psalm 82 Languages: English Tune Title: ST STEPHEN

For the Healing of the Nations
Author: Fred Kaan Hymnal: Voices United #678 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Advent 2 Year A Lyrics: 1 For the healing of the nations,
God, we pray with one accord;
for a just and equal sharing
of the things that earth affords.
To a life of love in action
help us rise and pledge our word.
2 Lead us forward into freedom,
from despair your world release;
that, redeemed from war and hatred,
all may come and go in peace.
Show us how through care and goodness
fear will die and hope increase.
3 All that kills abundant living,
let it from the earth be banned;
pride of status, race or schooling,
dogmas that obscure your plan.
In our common quest for justice
may we hallow life's brief span.
4 You, Creator God, have written
your great name on humankind;
for our growing in your likeness
bring the life of Christ to mind,
that by our response and service
earth its destiny may find. Languages: English Tune Title: WESTMINSTER ABBEY
