You Servants of the Lord
Author: Philip Doddridge (1702-1751) Hymnal: CP1998 #93 (1998) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 You servants of the Lord,
each in your calling wait,
observant of his heavenly Word,
and watchful at his gate.
2 Let all your lamps be bright,
and trim the golden flame;
attentive stand, as in his sight,
for awesome is his name.
3 Watch: 'tis your Lord's command,
and while we speak, he's near;
mark the first signal of his hand,
and ready all appear.
4 How happy shall we be
if in his service found!
We shall our Lord with rapture see
and be with honour crowned!
5 Christ shall the banquet spread
with his own royal hand,
and raise each faithful servant's head
amid the angelic band. Topics: Advent; Discipleship Scripture: Psalm 27 Languages: English Tune Title: NARENZA

the world in silence waits the day
when hope shall sing its triumph,

Dispel the night and show your face,
and bid us hail the dawn of grace.
O come, Divine Messiah,
the world in silence waits the day
when hope shall sing its triumph,
and sadness flee away.
2 O Christ, whom nations sigh for,
whom priest and prophet long foretold,
come, break the captives' fetters,
redeem the long-lost fold.
Dear Saviour, haste! Come, come to earth.
Dispel the night and show your face,
and bid us hail the dawn of grace.
O come, Divine Messiah,
the world in silence waits the day
when hope shall sing its triumph,
and sadness flee away.
3 You come in peace and meekness
and lowly will your cradle be;
all clothed in human weakness
shall we your Godhead see.
Dear Saviour, haste! Come, come to earth.
Dispel the night and show your face,
and bid us hail the dawn of grace.
O come, Divine Messiah,
the world in silence waits the day
when hope shall sing its triumph,
and sadness flee away.

Venez, divin Messie,
nous rendre espoir et nous sauver!
Vous êtes notre vie!

par votre corps donnez la joie
à notre monde en désarroi.
Redites-nous encore
de quel amour vous nous aimez;
tant d'hommes vous ignorent!
Venez, venez, venez!

que le meilleur de vos bienfaits
c'était le don de votre paix.

partout les coeurs sont divisés!
Qu'arrive votre règne!
Venez, venez, venez!
3 Vous êtes né pour les pécheurs.
Que votre grâce, ô Dieu Sauveur,
dissipe en nous la nuit, la peur!
Seigneur, que votre enfance
nous fasse vivre en la clarté.
Soyez la délivrance!
Venez, venez, venez!
Venez, divin Messie,
nous rendre espoir et nous sauver!
Vous êtes notre vie!
Venez, venez, venez!

Creator of the Stars of Night
Author: John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Hymnal: CP1998 #96 (1998) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Creator of the stars of night,
thy people's everlasting light,
Jesus, redeemer of us all,
hear thou thy servants when they call.
2 Thou, sorrowing at the helpless cry
of all creation doomed to die,
didst save our lost and guilty race
by healing gifts of heavenly grace.
3 When earth was near its evening hour,
thou didst in love's redeeming power,
like bridegroom from his chamber, come
forth from a maiden mother's womb.
4 At thy great name, exalted now,
all knees in lowly homage bow;
all things in heaven and earth adore,
and own thee King for evermore.
5 To God the Father, God the Son,
and God the Spirit, Three-in-One,
praise, honour, might, and glory be
from age to age eternally. Topics: Advent; Jesus, Name of Scripture: Job 38 Languages: English Tune Title: CONDITOR ALME

bringing news of sins forgiven.
Jesus comes in sounds of gladness,
leading souls redeemed to heaven.

when the heavens shall pass away.

let us then our homage pay,
alleluia, alleluia!

our hearts with sighing wake;

O Sun of Righteousness, appear.

The earth with strife is worn;
the hills with thunder shake,
hearts of the people mourn:
break, day of God, sweet day of peace,
and bid the shout of warriors cease.
3 Break, day of God, O break,
like to the days above!
Let purity awake,
and faith, and hope, and love.
But lo! We see the brightening sky;
the golden morn is drawing nigh. Topics: Advent Scripture: Psalm 30 Languages: English Tune Title: CHRISTCHURCH

speak ye peace: thus saith our God.
Comfort those who sit in darkness
bowed beneath oppression's load;
speak ye to Jerusalem
of the peace that waits for them:
tell her that her sins I cover,
and her warfare now is over.
2 Hark! The herald's voice is calling
in the desert far and near,
calling us to new repentance
since the reign of God is here.
Oh, that warning cry obey!
Now prepare for Christ a way;
let the valleys rise to meet him,
and the hills bow down to greet him.
3 Make ye straight what long was crooked;
make the rougher places plain.
Let your hearts be true and humble
as befits Messiah's reign.
For the glory of the Lord
now o'er earth is shed abroad,
and all flesh shall see the token
that God's Word is never broken. Topics: Advent; John, the Baptist Scripture: Isaiah 40:1-5 Languages: English Tune Title: PSALM 42
