Arise, Your Light Is Come
Hark! A Thrilling Voice Is Sounding
Author: Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 133 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark! A thrilling voice is sounding!
"Christ is near," we hear the cry.
"Cast away the works of darkness,
All you children of the day!"
2 Startled at the solemn warning,
Let the earth-bound soul arise;
Christ, its sun, all sloth dispelling,
Shines upon the morning skies.
3 See the Lamb, so long expected,
Comes with pardon down from heav'n.
Let us haste, with tears of sorrow,
One and all, to be forgiv'n;
4 So when next he comes in glory
And the world is wrapped in fear,
He will 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 ever-living Spirit
While eternal ages run.

And lo! the eastern sages stand,
To read in heav'n the Lord’s command.

Impels us on to seek your face,
Let not our slothful hearts refuse
The guidance of your light to use.

Once In Royal David's City
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1818-1895 Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.7 Appears in 407 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city
Stood a lowly cattle shed,
Where a mother laid her baby
In a manger for his bed.
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ her little child.
2 He came down to earth from heaven
Who is God and Lord of all,
And his shelter was a stable,
And his cradle was a stall.
With the poor and mean and lowly
Lived on earth our Savior holy.
3 And through all his wondrous childhood
He would honor and obey,
Love and watch the lowly maiden
In whose gentle arms he lay.
Christian children all should be
Kind, obedient, good as he.
4 For he is our childhood's pattern,
Day by day like us he grew;
He was little, weak, and helpless,
Tears and smiles like us he knew;
And he feels for all our sadness,
And he shares in all our gladness.
5 And our eyes at last shall see him,
Through his own redeeming love;
For that child so dear and gentle
Is our Lord in heav'n above:
And he leads his children on
To the place where he has gone. Topics: Christmas Season Scripture: Luke 2:4-7 Used With Tune: IRBY

When Love Is Found
Author: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals First Line: When love is found and hope comes home Lyrics: 1 When love is found and hope comes home,
Sing and be glad that two are one.
When love explodes and fills the sky,
Praise God and share our Maker's joy.
2 When love has flow'red in trust and care,
Build both each day that love may dare
To reach beyond home's warmth and light,
To serve and strive for truth and right.
3 When love is tried as loved-ones change,
Hold still to hope though all seems strange,
Till ease returns and love grows wise
Through list'ning ears and opened eyes.
4 When love is torn and trust betrayed,
Pray strength to love till torments fade,
Till lovers keep no score of wrong
But hear through pain love's Easter song.
5 Praise God for love, praise God for life,
In age or youth, in husband, wife.
Lift up your hearts let love be fed
Through death and life in broken bread. Topics: Family; Forgiveness; Love of God for Us; Love for Others; Marriage Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12 Used With Tune: O WALY WALY
