When Sinners See Their Lost Condition

Author: M. B. Landstad, 1802-80; O. H. Smeby, 1851-1929 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #111 (1996) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Topics: Advent 4 Lyrics: 1 When sinners see their lost condition And feel the pressing load of sin, And Jesus cometh on His mission To heal the sin-sick heart within, All grief must flee before His grace, And joy divine will take its place. 2 When Jesus enters meek and lowly To fill the home with sweetest peace; When hearts have felt His blessing holy And found from sin complete release; Then light and calm within shall reign And hearts divided love again. 3 When Jesus enters land and nation, And moves the people with His love; When, yielding to His kind persuasion, Our hearts His truth and blessing prove, Then shall our life on earth be blest, The peace of God on us shall rest. 4 When Jesus comes, O blessed story! He works a change in heart and life; God's kingdom comes with pow'r and glory To young and old, to man and wife; Through Sacrament and living Word Faith, love, and hope are now conferred. 5 Then stilled are cries and lamentation, Then loosed is Satan's ev'ry band, In death is hope and consolation, The soul is safe in Jesus' hand: When we shall walk through death's dark vale, His rod and staff shall never fail. 6 Oh may He soon to ev'ry nation Find entrance where He is unknown, With life and light and full salvation, That heathendom may be o'erthrown, And healing to the hearts may come In heathen land and Christian home! 7 Behold, He at the door is knocking! Hark, how He pleads our souls to win! Who hears His voice--the door unlocking-- To sup with him He enters in. How blest the day, my soul, how blest When Jesus comes to be thy guest. 8 Behold, He at the door is calling, O heed, my soul, what He doth say; Deny Him not--O thought appalling-- And turn Him hot from thee away. My soul gives answer deep within: Thou blessed of the Lord, come in. 9 Come Thou who spreadest joy and gladness, Forever bide with me and mine, And bring to those who sit in sadness And gloom of death Thy light divine. A voice comes from my soul within: Thou blessed of the Lord, come in! Languages: English Tune Title: WER WEISS, WIE NAHE

O Little Town of Bethlehem

Author: Phillips Brooks Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #133 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 Topics: Year C Advent 4 Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem, how still we see you lie! Above your deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by; Yet in your dark streets shines forth the everlasting light;, The hopes and fears of all the years are met in you tonight. 2 For Christ is born of Mary, and gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep their watch of wondering love. O morning stars, together proclaim the holy birth! And praises sing, and voices ring with peace to all on earth. 3 How silently, how silently, the wondrous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts the glorious love of heaven. No one discerns God's coming, but in this world of sin, Where yearning souls long to be whole, the dear Christ enters in. 4 O holy Child of Bethlehem, descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin and enter in; be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels the great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, our Lord Emmanuel! Scripture: Micah 5:2 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. LOUIS

Jesus, Our Brother, Strong and Good

Once in Royal David's City

Author: Cecil F. Alexander Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #145 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Topics: Year B Advent 4 Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David’s city stood a lowly cattle shed, Where a mother laid her baby in a manger for a bed: Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little child. 2 Jesus came to earth from heaven, who is God and Head of all, Sheltered in a rustic stable, cradles in a common stall: With the poor and meek and lowly lived on earth our Savior holy. 3 And through all this wondrous childhood Jesus honors and obeyed, Loved and watched the tender mother whose strong arms a cradle made. So, like Jesus, we should be serving God obediently. 4 Jesus is our childhood’s pattern, daily like us lived and grew, Jesus, little, weak, and helpless, tears and smiles and comfort knew. Jesus felt the pain of sadness, and the joyous lift of gladness. 5 We at last shall meet our Savior, fount of God's redeeming grace, For that Child so dear and gentle, reigns within a glorious place; Leading all God's children on to the heaven where saints have gone.
