Hark! a thrilling voice is sounding
Author: Edward Caswall, 1814 - 78 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #1 (1958) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Hark! a thrilling voice is sounding;
'Christ is nigh,' it seems to say,
'Cast away the works of darkness,
O ye children of the day.'
2 Wakened by the solemn warning,
Let the earth-bound soul arise;
Christ, her sun, all ill 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 So when next he comes in glory,
And the world is wrapped in fear,
With his mercy may he shield us,
And with words of love draw near.
5 Honor, glory, might, and blessing
Be to God: the Father, Son,
And the everlasting Spirit,
While eternal ages run.
Amen.

Hark! a thrilling voice is sounding
O come, O come, Emmanuel
Author: John Mason Neale, 1818 - 66 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #2a (1958) Lyrics: 1 O come, O come, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear.
Rejoice, rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
2 O come, O come, thou Lord of Might,
Who to thy tribes, on Sinai's height,
In ancient times didst give the law
In cloud, and majesty, and awe.
Rejoice, rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel. A-men.
3 O come, thou Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan's tyranny;
From depths of hell thy people save,
And give them victory o'er the grave.
Rejoice, rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
4 O come, thou Dayspring, come and cheer
Our spirits by thine advent here;
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
And death's dark shadows put to flight.
Rejoice, rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
5 O come, thou Key of David, come,
And open wide our heavenly home;
Make safe the way that leads on high,
And close the path to misery.
Rejoice, rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel. A-men.

The Advent of our God
Author: John Chandler, 1806 - 76; Charles Coffin, 1676-1749 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #3 (1958) Lyrics: 1 The advent of our God
Our prayers must now employ,
And we must meet him on his road
With hymns of holy joy.
2 The everlasting Son
Incarnate deigns to be;
Himself a servant's form puts on
To set his people free.
3 Daughter of Sion, rise
To meet thy lowly King,
Nor let thy faithless heart despise
The peace he comes to bring. A-men.
4 As judge, on clouds of light,
He soon will come again,
And all his scattered saints unite
With him in heaven to reign.
5 Before the dawning day
Let sin's dark deeds be gone;
The old man all be put away,
The new man all put on.
6 All glory to the Son,
Who comes to set us free,
With Father, Spirit, ever One,
Through all eternity.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Advent Languages: English Tune Title: DONCASTER
The Advent of our God
On Jordan's banks the Baptist's cry
Author: John Chandler, 1806 - 76; Charles Coffin, 1676 - 1749 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #4 (1958) Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's banks the Baptist's cry
Announces that the Lord is nigh;
Awake and hearken, for he brings
Glad tidings of the King of kings.
2 Then cleansed be every breast from sin,
Make straight the way for God within;
And let us all our hearts prepare
For Christ to come and enter there. A-men.
3 For thou art our salvation, Lord,
Our refuge and our great reward;
Without thy grace we waste away
Like flowers that wither and decay.
4 Stretch forth thy hand, to health restore,
And make us rise to fall no more;
Once more upon thy people shine,
And fill the world with love divine.
5 All praise, eternal Son, to thee
Whose advent sets thy people free,
Whom with the Father we adore,
And Holy Ghost, for evermore.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Advent Languages: English Tune Title: ALSTONE
On Jordan's banks the Baptist's cry
Come, thou long-expected Jesus
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #5 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Come, thou long-expected Jesus,
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.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Advent Languages: English Tune Title: ST. HILARY
Come, thou long-expected Jesus
Hark, the glad sound! the Saviour comes
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-51 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #6 (1958) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Hark, the glad sound! the Saviour comes,
The Saviour promised long;
Let every heart prepare a throne,
And every voice a song.
2 He comes, the prisoners to release
In Satan's bondage held;
The gates of brass before him burst,
The iron fetters yield. A-men.
3 He comes, the broken heart to bind,
The bleeding soul to cure,
And with the treasures of his grace
To enrich the humble poor.
4 Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace,
Thy welcome shall proclaim;
And heaven's eternal arches ring
With thy belovèd Name.

Hark, the glad sound! the Saviour comes
Wake, awake, for night is flying
Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1829-78; Philipp Nicolai, 1556 - 1608 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #7a (1958) Lyrics: 1 Wake, awake, for night is flying,
The watchmen on the heights are crying,
Awake, Jerusalem, at last!
Midnight hears the welcome voices
And at the thrilling cry rejoices:
Come forth, ye virgins, night is past!
The Bridegroom comes, awake,
Your lamps with gladness take;
Allelujah!
And for his marriage feast prepare,
For ye must go to meet him there. A-men.
2 Zion hears the watchmen singing,
And all her heart with joy is springing,
She wakes, she rises from her gloom;
For her Lord comes down all-glorious,
The strong in grace, in truth victorious,
Her Star is risen, her Light is come.
Ah come, thou blessèd One,
God's own belovèd Son,
Alleluia!
We follow till the halls we see
Where thou hast bid us sup with thee.
3 Now let all the heavens adore thee,
And men and angels sing before thee,
With harp and cymbal's clearest tone;
Of one pearl each shining portal,
Where we are with the choir immortal
Of angels round thy dazzling throne;
Nor eye hath seen, nor ear
Hath yet attained to hear
What there is ours;
But we rejoice, and sing to thee
Our hymn of joy eternally.
Amen.

Make it a temple set apart
From earthly use for heaven's employ,
Adorned with prayer and love and joy.

Our hearts to thee we open wide,
Let us thy inner presence feel,
Thy grace and love in us reveal.
