O Very God of Very God

Author: John M. Neale; John Mason Neale Hymnal: HOoS1937 #11 (1937) Lyrics: 1 O very God of very God, And very Light of Light, Whose feet this earth's dark valley trod, That so it might be bright! 2 Our hopes are weak, our fears are strong, Thick darkness binds our eyes; Cold is the night, and O we long For Thee, our Sun, to rise! 3 And even now, though dull and gray, The east is brightening fast, And kindling to the perfect day That never shall be past. 4 O guide us till our path be done, And we have reached the shore Where Thou, our everlasting Sun, Art shining evermore! 5 We wait in faith, and turn our face To where the daylight springs, Till Thou shalt come our gloom to chase, With healing on Thy wings. Amen.

Hark! a Thrilling Voice Is Sounding

Author: Edward Caswall Hymnal: HOoS1937 #12 (1937) 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 Startled at the solemn warning, Let the earth-bound soul arise; Christ, our Sun, all sloth 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 with glory, And the world is wrapped in fear, May He then as our Defender On the clouds of heaven appear. 5 Honor, glory, might, and blessing To the Father and the Son, With the everlasting Spirit, One in Three, and Three in One. Amen.

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, forevermore. Amen.

Grant that we hearken to his cry, "Repent, the kingdom draweth nigh," And seek Thee, Christ our Saviour. 3 Thou art indeed God’s holy Son, Beloved of Him so dearly, The mighty works that Thou hast done Reveal Thy Godhead clearly: The blind can see, the sick are healed, The lips once dumb are now unsealed, All power is Thine, dear Jesus! 4 Thou art our Peace, our Righteousness, The Rock of our salvation. Clothed in Thy garb of holiness, We fear no condemnation. Thy blood has cleansed away our sin, Through Thee eternal life we win, O crucified Redeemer! Amen.

Hail to the Lord's Anointed!

Author: James Mongtomery Hymnal: HOoS1937 #16 (1937) First Line: Hail to the Lord's Anointed Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Lord's Anointed, Great David's greater Son! Hail, in the time appointed, His reign on earth begun! He comes to break oppression, To set the captive free, To take away transgression And rule in equity. 2 He comes with succor speedy To those who suffer wrong; To help the poor and needy, And bid the weak be strong: To give them songs for sighing; Their darkness turn to light, Whose souls, condemned and dying, Were precious in His sight. 3 He shall come down like showers Upon the fruitful earth; And love, joy, hope, like flowers, Spring in His path to birth. Before Him on the mountains Shall peace, the herald, go; And righteousness in fountains From hill to valley flow. 4 To Him shall prayer unceasing And daily vows ascend; His kingdom still increasing, A kingdom without end. The tide of time shall never His covenant remove; His Name shall stand forever,-- That Name to us is Love. Amen.

Rejoice, All Ye Believers

The Bridegroom is arising, And soon He draweth nigh. Up, watch, and pray, and wrestle,-- At midnight comes the cry! 2 The watchers on the mountain Proclaim the Bridegroom near; Go meet Him as He cometh, With hallelujahs clear. The marriage feast is waiting, The gates wide open stand; Up, up ye heirs of glory, The Bridegroom is at hand! 3 Ye saints, who here in patience Your cross and sufferings bore, Shall live and reign forever, When sorrow is no more. Around the throne of glory The Lamb ye shall behold, In triumph cast before Him Your diadems of gold! 4 Our Hope and Expectation, O Jesus, 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 day of earth's redemption That brings us unto Thee! Amen.
