Lift up the Advent strain!
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lift up the Advent strain!
Behold the Lord is nigh!
Greet His approach, ye saints, again,
With hymns of holy joy.
2 The everlasting Son,
Incarnate deigns to be;
Our God the form of slave puts on,
A race of slaves to free.
3 Daughter of Sion, rise
To meet Thy lowly King.
Nor let the faithless heart despise
The peace He comes to bring.
4 As Judge in clouds of light
He shall come down again,
And all His scattered saints unite
With Him in Heaven to reign.
5 Before that dreadful day
May all our sins be gone,
The old man all be put away,
The new man all put on.
6 Jesus, all praise to Thee,
Our joy and endless rest;
We pray Thee here our Guide to be
Our crown amid the blest.
Amen. Topics: Our Lord Jesus Christ His Advent; Festivals Used With Tune: GOSS

The Prince Of Peace Is Come
Author: John Needham Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Prince of Peace is come,
Ye nations shout and sing;
Let men and angels join their songs,
To hail this glorious King.
2 He takes the servant’s form;
He lays His glory by;
His heavenly Father’s bosom leaves,
And throne of majesty.
3 Light of the world He comes,
The blind receive their sight;
The mind now feels His gladdening ray,
And all within is light.
4 Physician blest He came,
And well employs His art;
With ease He makes the bruisèd whole,
And heals the broken heart.
5 His tears, His sighs and pains
Ease to the wounded give;
The kind physician dies to make
The dying patients live.
6 The great Redeemer comes,
And sounds a jubilee:
He burst the prison doors, and bids
The captive souls go free.
7 Evangelist divine,
He makes the Gospel known;
The poor the joyful tidings hear,
And their great prophet own.
8 Whilst gracious God I hear
Thy Gospel’s joyful sound,
May my glad heart, my tongue, my life,
Be all obedience found. Used With Tune: ADVENT Text Sources: Hymns Devotional and Moral on Various Subjects (Bristol, England: S. Farley, 1768)
The Prince Of Peace Is Come
Not by Thy mighty hand
Author: Bp. J. R. Woodford Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Not by Thy mighty hand,
Thy wondrous works alone,
But by the marvels of Thy Word,
Thy glory, Lord, is known.
2 Forth from the eternal gates,
Thine everlasting home,
To sow the seed of truth below,
Thou didst vouchsafe to come.
3 And still from age to age,
Thou, gracious Lord hast been
The bearer forth of goodly seed,
The sower still unseen.
4 And Thou wilt come again,
And heaven beneath Thee bow,
To reap the harvest Thou hast sown,
Sower and reaper Thou.
5 Watch, Lord, Thou harvest-field,
With Thine unsleeping eye,
The children of the kingdom keep
To Thy Epihany;
6 That, when in Thy great day,
The tares shall severed be,
We may be surely gathered in
With all Thy saints to Thee.
Amen.

To seal the work divine.

Inflame with zeal each lukewarm heart,
And guide the trembling feet.

With strength, Who art Thyself its source,
Inspire us as we kneel.

The work that Thou hast wrought:
Illume the souls with love's pure ray
Which Jesus' blood hath bought.

Strength, weapons, all are Thine:
Accept each vow and hear each prayer,
Blest Trinity divine.

Hungry, And Faint, And Poor
Author: John Newton Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 84 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hungry, and faint, and poor,
Behold us, Lord, again
Assembled at Thy mercies’ door,
Thy bounty to obtain.

Or we must starve indeed;
For we no money have to buy,
No righteousness to plead.
3 The food our spirits want
Thy hand alone can give;
Oh, hear the prayer of faith, and grant
That we may eat, and live.

Helpless, and far from all relief,
To Heav’n I lift mine eyes.

That’s high above my head
And make the covert of Thy wings
My shelter and my shade.

For ever I’ll abide;
Thou art the tower of my defense,
The refuge where I hide.

Of those that fear Thy name;
If endless life be their reward,
I shall possess the same. Used With Tune: ADVENT (Goss) Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
