Lo! He Comes, with Clouds Descending
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 768 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lo! he comes, with clouds descending,
once for our salvation 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 dear tokens of his passion
still his dazzling body bears,
cause of endless exultation
to 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:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Thou shalt reign, and thou alone.

Hark! the Voice of Love and Mercy
Author: Jonathan Evans Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 549 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark! the voice of love and mercy
sounds aloud from Calvary;
see, it tears the temple curtain,
shakes the earth and veils the sky:
“It is finished, it is finished!”--
hear the dying Savior cry.
2 Finished--all the types and shadows
of the ceremonial law;
God fulfills what he has promised--
death and hell shall reign no more:
“It is finished, it is finished!”--
Christ has opened heaven's door.
3 Saints and angels shout his praises,
his great finished work proclaim;
all on earth, and all in heaven,
join to bless Emmanuel’s name:
"Alleluia, alleluia,
endless glory to the Lamb!"

For the Healing of the Nations
Author: Fred Kaan Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 58 hymnals Lyrics: 1 For the healing of the nations,
God, we pray with one accord;
for a just and equal sharing
of the things that earth affords;
to a life of love in action
help us rise and pledge our word.
2 Lead us forward into freedom;
from despair your world release,
that, redeemed from war and hatred,
all may come and go in peace.
Show us how through care and goodness
fear will die and hope increase.
3 All that kills abundant living,
let it from the earth be banned;
pride of status, race, or schooling,
dogmas that obscure your plan.
In our common quest for justice
may we hallow life's brief span.
4 You, Creator God, have written
your great name on humankind;
for our growing in your likeness
bring the life of Christ to mind,
that by our response and service
earth its destiny may find. Topics: Healing; Justice and Peace; Service; Year A New Year; Year B New Year; Year B All Saints; Year C New Year; Year C Epiphany 9; Year C Easter 6; Year C Proper 4 Used With Tune: WESTMINSTER ABBEY

Christ, our head and cornerstone,
Chosen of the Lord and precious,
Binding all the Church in one,
Holy Zion's help forever
And our confidence alone.

Come, O Lord of hosts, and stay;
Come with all your lovingkindness,
Hear your people as they pray,
And your fullest benediction
Speak within these walls today.
3 Grant, we pray, to all your faithful
All the gifts they ask to gain,
What they gain from you forever
With the blessed to retain,
And hereafter in your glory
Evermore with you to reign.

Praise and honor to the Son,
Praise and honor to the Spirit,
Ever Three and ever One,
One in might and one in glory

virgin pure, behold him lie
while his aged saints adore him
ere in perfect faith they die.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Lo, th'incarnate God Most High!
3 Jesus, by your presentation,
when they blessed you, weak and poor,
make us see your great salvation,
seal us with your promise sure;
and present us in your glory
to your Father, cleansed and pure.
