The world is very evil

Author: Bernard of Cluny; Rev. J. M. Neale Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #405b (1894) Meter: 7.6 D Year Written: 1145 Lyrics: 1 The world is very evil; The times are waxing late: Be sober and keep vigil, The Judge is at the gate; The Judge Who comes in mercy, The Judge Who comes with might, To terminate the evil, To diadem the right. 2 Arise, arise, good Christian, Let right to wrong succeed; Let penitential sorrow To heavenly gladness lead; To the home of fadeless splendor, Of flowers that bear no thorn, Where they shall dwell as children Who here as exiles mourn; 3 'Mid power that knows no limit, And wisdom free from bound, Where rests a peace untroubled, Peace holy and profound. O happy, holy portion, Refection for the blest, True vision of true beauty, Sweet cure for all distrest. 4 Thou hast no shore fair ocean! Thou hast no time, bright day! Dear fountain of refreshment To pilgrims far away! Strive, man, to win that glory; Toil, man, to gain that light; Send hope before to grasp it, Till hope be lost in sight. Amen.

Jesus, My Highest Treasure

Author: Salomo Liscovius, 1640-1689; Frederick William Foster, 1760-1835 Hymnal: Hymnal and Liturgies of the Moravian Church #384 (1969) Year Written: 1672 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my highest treasure, In Thy communion blest I find unfailing pleasure, True happiness and rest; Myself a willing offering I give to Thee alone, Because by death and suffering Thou didst for me atone. 2 O Joy, all joys excelling, The bread of Life Thou art, Thou cam’st to make Thy dwelling In my unworthy heart. My spirit’s hungry craving Thou canst for ever still; From deepest anguish saving, With bliss my cup canst fill. 3 O let my eyes be lightened By sight of Thy dear face; My life below be brightened By tasting of Thy grace; Without Thee, mighty Savior, To live is nought but pain; To have Thy love and favor Is happiness and gain. 4 Earth’s glory to inherit Is not what I desire; To heaven aspires my spirit, Glowing with nobler fire. Where Christ Himself appeareth In brightest majesty, For me a place prepareth, There, there I long to be. Topics: The Life in Christ Communion with Christ Languages: English Tune Title: MUNICH

And let your lights appear; The evening is advancing, And darker night is near. The Bridegroom is arising, And soon He will draw nigh; Up! pray, and watch, and wrestle! At midnight comes the cry. 2 See that your lights are burning; Replenish them with oil; Look now for your salvation, The end of sin and toil. The watchers on the mountain Proclaim the Bridegroom near, Go meet Him as He cometh, With alleluias clear. 3 O wise and holy virgins, Now raise your voices higher, Until in songs of triumph Ye meet the angel choir. The marriage-feast is waiting, The gates wide open stand; Up, up, ye heirs of glory! The Bridegroom is at hand. 4 Our hope and expectation, O Jesu, now appear; Arise, Thou Sun so longed for, O'er this benighted sphere! With hearts and hands uplifted, We plead, O Lord, to see The days of earth's redemption, And ever be with Thee. Amen.
