Comfort, Comfort Now My People
Author: Johannes G. Olearius; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 126 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 40:1-5 Lyrics: 1 Comfort, comfort now my people;
speak of peace: so says our God.
Comfort those who sit in darkness,
mourning under sorrow's load.
Cry out to Jerusalem
of the peace that waits for them;
tell her that her sins I cover
and her warfare now is over.
2 For the herald's voice is crying
in the desert far and near,
calling all to true repentance,
since the kingdom now is here.
Oh, 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 Then 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 on earth is shed abroad,
and all flesh shall see the token
that God's word is never broken.

On Jordan's Bank the Baptist's Cry
Author: Charles Coffin; John Chandler Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 230 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 40:3 Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry
announces that the Lord is nigh:
awake and listen for he brings
glad tidings of the King of kings.
2 Let every heart be cleansed from sin,
make straight the way for God within,
and so prepare to be the home
where such a mighty guest may come.
3 For you are our salvation, Lord,
our refuge and our great reward;
without your grace we waste away
like flowers that wither and decay.

and make the fallen sinner stand;
shine out, and let your light restore
earth's own true loveliness once more.

whose advent sets your people free;

and Holy Spirit evermore! Topics: Advent Season; Biblical Persons; Advent Season; Biblical Persons John the Baptist; Biblical Places Jordan; Holy Spirit Lifegiver; Jesus Christ Light; Jesus Christ Refuge; Salvation Used With Tune: PUER NOBIS

Christ, our triumphant King,
we come your name to sing;
here we our children bring
to shout your praise.

the all-subduing Word,
healer of strife:
you did yourself abase,
that from sin's deep disgrace
your might now save our race,
and give us life.

you have prepared the feast
of heav'nly love:
while in our mortal pain,
none calls on you in vain:
help you do not disdain,
help from above.

our Shepherd and our pride,
our staff and song:
Jesus, O Christ of God,
by your perennial Word,
lead us where you have trod;
make our faith strong.
5 So now and till we die,
sound we your praises high,
and joyful sing:
infants, and the glad throng
who to your church belong,
unite to swell the song
to Christ our King.
