Come, Ye Sinners
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!"

Hark! the Voice of Love and Mercy
Look, Ye Saints, the Sight Is Glorious
Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 539 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Look, ye saints! the sight is glorious,
see the Man of Sorrows now,
from the fight returned victorious,
ev'ry knee to him shall bow.
Crown him! Crown him! Crown him! Crown him!
Crowns become the Victor's brow.
2. Crown the Savior, angels, crown him,
rich the triumphs Jesus brings;
in the seat of pow'r enthrone him
while the vault of heaven rings:
Crown him! Crown him! Crown him! Crown him!
Crown the Savior King of kings.
3. Sinners in derision crowned him,
mocking thus the Savior's claim;
saints and angels throng around him,
own his title, praise his name.
Crown him! Crown him! Crown him! Crown him!
Spread abroad the Victor's fame.
4. Hark, those bursts of acclamation,
hark, those loud triumphant chords,
Jesus takes the highest station,
oh, what joy the sight affords.
Crown him! Crown him! Crown him! Crown him!
King of kings, and Lord of lords!

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.

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.

Light's abode, celestial Salem
Blessèd city, heavenly Salem
Author: John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 74 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Blessèd city, heavenly Salem,
vision dear of peace and love,
who of living stones art builded
in the height of heaven above,
and with angel hosts encircled,
as a bride dost earthward move!
2 From celestial realms descending,
bridal glory round thee shed,
meet for him whose love espoused thee,
to thy Lord shalt thou be led;
all thy streets and all thy bulwarks
of pure gold are fashioned.
3 Bright thy gates of pearl are shining,
they are open evermore;
and by virtue of his merits
thither faithful souls do soar,
who for Christ's dear name in this world
pain and tribulation bore.
4 Many a blow and biting sculpture
polished well those stones elect,
in their places now compacted
by the heavenly Architect,
who therewith hath willed for ever
that his palace should be decked.
5 Christ is made the sure foundation,
Christ the Head and cornerstone,
chosen of the Lord, and precious,
binding all the church in one,
Holy Sion's help for ever,
and her confidence alone.
6 All that dedicated city,
dearly loved of God on high,
in exultant jubilation
pours perpetual melody,
God the One in Three adoring
in glad hymns eternally.
7 To this temple, where we call thee,
come, O Lord of Hosts, to-day;
with thy wonted loving-kindness
hear thy servants as they pray,
and thy fullest benediction
shed within its walls alway.
8 Here vouchsafe to all thy servants
what they ask of thee to gain,
what they gain from thee for ever
with the blessed to retain,
and hereafter in thy glory
evermore with thee to reign.

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

see the long-expected Lord;
ancient prophets had foretold him,
God has now fulfilled his word.

shall break forth with one accord.

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.
