Savior of the Nations, Come
Author: St. Ambrose, 340-97; William Reynolds, 1812-76; Martin L. Seltz, 1909-67 Hymnal: WSCW1969 #701 (1969) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Savior of the nations, come;
Virgin's Son, make here thy home!
Marvel now, O heaven and earth,
That the Lord chose such a birth.
2 Not by human flesh and blood,
By the Spirit of our God
Was the Word of God made flesh--
Woman's Offspring, pure and fresh.
3 Wondrous birth! O wondrous Child
Of the Virgin undefiled!
Mighty God and man in one,
Eager now his race to run!
4 God the Father is his source,
Back to God he runs his course,
Down to death and hell descends,
God's high throne he reascends.
5 Thou, the ageless Father's Peer,
Gird thy might in mortal gear;
Take on flesh to rout the wrong,
Make our flesh in frailty strong.
6 Now thy manger's halo bright
Hallows night with newborn light;
Let no night this light subdue,
Let our faith shine ever new.
7 Praise to God the Father sing,
Praise to God the Son, our King,
Praise to God the Spirit be
Ever and eternally. Amen. Topics: The Christian Year Adventtide; Advent I Tune Title: NUN KOMM, DER HEIDEN HEILAND
Savior of the Nations, Come
Lo! He Comes with Clouds Descending
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Hymnal: WSCW1969 #702 (1969) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Lo! He comes with clouds descending,
Once for favored sinners slain;
Thousand thousand saints attending
Swell the triumph of his train:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Christ the Lord returns to reign.
2 Every eye shall now behold him
Robed in dreadful majesty;
Those who set at naught and sold him,
Pierced and nailed him to the tree,
Deeply wailing, deeply wailing,
Shall the true Messiah see!
3 Those blest tokens of his passion,
Glorified, his body bears,
Cause of endless adoration
By his ransomed worshipers.
With what rapture, with what rapture
Gaze we on those glorious scars!
4 Yea, Amen! Let all adore thee,
High on thine eternal throne;
Savior, take the power and glory;
Claim the Kingdom for thine own.
O come quickly! O come quickly!
Alleluia! Come, Lord, come!

Lo! He Comes with Clouds Descending
Creator of the Stars of Night
Author: John Mason Neale, 1818-66 Hymnal: WSCW1969 #703 (1969) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Creator of the stars of night,
Thy people's everlasting Light:
Jesus, Redeemer, save us all
And hear thy servants when they call.
2 Thou, grieving that the ancient curse
Should doom to death a universe,
Hast found the healing, full of grace,
To cure and save our ruined race.
3 Thou camest, the Bridegroom of the bride,
As drew the world to eventide,
The spotless Victim all divine
Proceeding from a virgin shrine.
4 At whose dread name, majestic now,
All knees must bend, all hearts must bow;
All things celestial thee shall own,
And things terrestrial, Lord alone.
5 O thou, whose coming is with dread
To judge and doom the quick and dead,
Preserve us from the ancient Foe
While still we dwell on earth below.
6 To God the Father and the Son
And Holy Spirit, Three in One,
Praise, honor, might, and glory be
From age to age eternally. Amen.

Hark! A Thrilling Voice Is Sounding
Author: Edward Caswall, 1814-78 Hymnal: WSCW1969 #704 (1969) Meter: 8.7.8.7 First Line: Hark! A thrilling voice is sounding! Lyrics: 1 Hark! A thrilling voice is sounding!
"Christ is nigh," we hear it say,
"Cast away the works of darkness,
All ye children of the day!"
2 Startled at the solemn warning,
Let the earth-bound soul arise;
Christ, her Sun, all sloth dispelling,
Shines upon the morning skies.
3 Lo, the Lamb--so long expected--
Comes with pardon down from heaven.
Let us haste, with tears of sorrow,
One and all, to be forgiven:
4 That, when next he comes with glory
And the world is wrapped in fear,
He may shield us with his mercy
And with words of love draw near.
5 Honor, glory, might, dominion
To the Father and the Son
With the everliving Spirit,
While eternal ages run! Amen. Tune Title: FREUEN WIR UNS ALLE

Born to set thy people free;
From our fears and sins release us;
Let us find our rest in thee.
Israel's Strength and Consolation,
Hope of all the earth thou art,
Dear Desire of every nation,
Joy of every longing heart.
2 Born thy people to deliver;
Born a child and yet a king!
Born to reign in us forever,
Now thy gracious kingdom bring.
By thine own eternal Spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By thine all-sufficient merit
Raise us to thy glorious throne. Topics: The Christian Year Adventtide Tune Title: JEFFERSON

Author: John Brownie, 1859-1925 Hymnal: WSCW1969 #707 (1969) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The King shall come when morning dawns
And light triumphant breaks,
When beauty gilds the eastern hills
And life to joy awakes:
2 Not as of old a little child,
To bear and fight and die,
But crowned with glory like the sun
That lights the morning sky.
3 O brighter than the rising morn
When he, victorious, rose
And left the lonesome place of death,
Despite the rage of foes:
4 O brighter than that glorious morn
Shall this fair morning be,
When Christ, our King, in beauty comes
And we his face shall see!
5 The King shall come when morning dawns
And light and beauty brings.
Hail, Christ the Lord! Thy people pray:
Come quickly, King of kings. Topics: The Christian Year Adventtide Tune Title: CONSOLATION

Let every heart awake and sing
The holy Child whom Mary bore,
The Christ, the everlasting King.
2 Behold, the world's Creator wears
The form and fashion of a slave;
Our very flesh our Maker shares,
His fallen creature, man, to save.
3 For this how wondrously he wrought!
A maiden, in her lowly place,
Became, in ways beyond all thought,
The chosen vessel of his grace.
4 And while the angels in the sky
Sang praise above the silent field,
To shepherds poor, the Lord most high,
The one great Shepherd, was revealed.
5 All glory for this blesséd morn
To God the Father ever be;
All praise to thee, O Virgin-born,
All praise, O Holy Ghost, to thee. Amen. Topics: The Christian Year Second Sunday After Christmas Tune Title: CHRISTUM WIR SOLLEN LOBEN SCHON
