O Lord, How Shall I Meet You
Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-1676 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 47 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord, how shall I meet you,
how welcome you aright?
Your people long to greet you,
my hope, my heart’s delight!
Oh, kindle, Lord most holy,
your lamp within my breast
to do in spirit lowly
all that may please you best.
2 I lay in fetters, groaning;
you came to set me free.
I stood, my shame bemoaning;
you came to honor me.
A glorious crown you give me,
a treasure safe on high
that will not fail or leave me
as earthly riches fly.
3 Love caused your incarnation;
love brought you down to me.
Your thirst for my salvation
procured my liberty.
Oh, love beyond all telling,
that led you to embrace
in love, all love excelling,
our lost and fallen race.
4 Rejoice, then, you sad-hearted,
who sit in deepest gloom,
who mourn your joys departed
and tremble at your doom.
All hail the Lord's appearing!
O glorious Sun, now come,
send forth your beams so cheering
and guide us safely home. Topics: Advent; Advent Used With Tune: WIE SOLL ICH DICH EMPFANGEN Text Sources: Tr. composite

And bids you weep no more. Topics: Advent; Advent, First Sunday; Sunday after Christmas; Tenth Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: WIE SOLL ICH DICH EMPFANGEN Text Sources: Seaton's Leeds Church H. B., Tr. 1859

Jak mam powitać Ciebie
Author: ks. Paul Gerhardt Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Jak nam powitać Ciebie,
jak Cié ugościć mam,
odwieczny Królu w niebie,
coś do mnie przybył sam?
O Jezu miły Panie,
pochodnią sam mi świeć,
wskaż co na powitanie,
od sługi chciałbyś mieć?
2 Hosanna Syjon śpiewa
i ściele zieleń palm,
w mym sercu zaś rozbrzmiewa,
na chwałę Twoją psalm,
bo serce ku Twej chwale
chce dziś poświęcić się
i służyć Tobie stale.
O, przyjm ofiarę tę!
3 Ach, czegoś nie uczynił,
bym pocieszenie miał!
Gdym za to, com przewinił,
przed gniewem Bożym drżał.
Grzech raju mnie pozbawił,
gdzie nie ma trwóg i łez,
Tyś, Zbawco, mnie wybawił,
mej nędzy kładąc kres.
4 Leżałem skrępowany,
a Tyś mi wolność dał,
gdym hańbą był odziany,
Tyś szatę chwały wdział.
Sam nędzę mą przykryłeś
i wywyższyłeś tak,
i tak mnie obdarzyłeś,
że słów dziękczynnych brak.
5 I cóż to Cię skłoniło,
żeś do nas zstąpił rad
i swej miłości siłą
podźwignął z nędzy świat?
To ból nasz i cierpienie,
to znoju pot i krew,
to naszych łez strumienie
przemogły słuszny gniew.
6 Te słowa, smętna rzeszo,
głęboko w sercu wpisz!
Bo one cię pocieszą,
gdy ciężki wzrasta krzyż.
O, porzuć swe staranie,
Zbawiciel już u drzwi!
On wejdzie niespodzianie,
obetrze twoje łzy!
7 Wam troszczyć się nie trzeba,
jakoby wasza moc
Go ściągnąć miała z nieba
staraniem w dzień i noc.
On z dobrej woli idzie,
miłością darzy was,
zaradza wszelkiej biedzie,
pociesza w każdy czas.
8 Na sąd i na przekleństwo
tym idzie, co Mu klną,
a da błogosławieństwo
tym, co Go z cerca czczą.
O, przyjdźże, przyjdź, Jasności!
I zabierz stadko swe
do wiecznej szczęśliwości,
i paś na wieki je.

Thy Word, O God, Declareth
Author: Alfred Ramsey, 1860-1926; Johann Walther, 1496-1570 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thy Word, O God, declareth
No man hath seen or heard
The joys our God prepareth
For them that love their Lord.
Their eyes shall see Thy glory,
Thy face, Thy throne, Thy might;
With shouts shall they adore thee,
The true, eternal Light.
2 With Thee, their warfare ended,
Thy saints, from earth released,
Shall keep, with glories splendid,
Eternal holy feast.
There shall Thy sons and daughters
The tree of life partake,
Shall drink the living waters,
And bread with Thee shall break.
3 Thy constant praises sounding
Before Thy great white throne,
They all in joy abounding
Shall sing the song unknown:
Laud, honor, praise, thanksgiving
And glory ever be
To Thee, the everlasting
And blessed Trinity. Topics: The Life to Come Used With Tune: WIE SOLL ICH DICH EMPFANGEN

Light of the Gentile nations
Author: Johann Franck; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 37 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Light of the Gentile nations,
Thy people’s Joy and Love!
Drawn by Thy Spirit hither,
We gladly come to prove
Thy presence in Thy temple,
And wait with earnest mind,
As Simeon once had waited
His Saviour God to find.
2 O Lord, Thy servants meet Thee,
E’en now, in every place,
Where Thy true Word hath promised,
That they should see Thy face.
Thou yet wilt gently grant us,
Who gather round Thee here,
In faith’s strong arms to bear Thee,
As once that agèd seer.
3 Be Thou our Joy, our Brightness,
That shines ’mid pain and loss,
Our sun in times of terror,
The glory round our cross;
A glow in sinking spirits,
A sunbeam in distress,
Physician, Friend in sickness;
In death our happiness.
4 Let us, O Lord, be faithful
With Simeon, to the end,
That so his dying song may
From all our hearts ascend:
"O Lord, now let Thy servant
Depart in peace for aye,
Since I have seen my Saviour,
Have here beheld His day."
5 My Saviour, I behold Thee
Now with the eye of faith;
No foe of Thee can rob me,
Though bitter words he saith.
Within Thy heart abiding,
As Thou dost dwell in me,
No pain, no death has terrors
To part my soul from Thee.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Epiphany; The Presentation of Christ Used With Tune: WIE SOLL ICH DICH EMPFANGEN
