Come, Thou long-expected Jesus

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: LHTC1918 #12 (1917) 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.

Rejoice, all ye believers

Author: Laurentius Laurenti; Sarah Borthwick Findlater Hymnal: LHTC1918 #13 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, all ye believers, And let your lights appear! The evening is advancing And darker night is near. The Bridegroom is arising, And soon will He draw nigh. Up! pray, and watch, 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 Their cross and sufferings bore, Shall live and reign for ever, 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. Topics: The Church Year Advent Languages: English Tune Title: LANCASHIRE

The King shall come when morning dawns

Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: LHTC1918 #14 (1917) Lyrics: 1 The King shall come when morning dawns, And light triumphant breaks; When beauty gilds the eastern hills, And life to joy awakes. 2 Not as of old, a little child To bear, and fight, and die, But crowned with glory like the sun, That lights that morning sky. 3 O brighter than the rising morn, When He, victorious, rose, And left the lonesome place of death, Despite the rage of foes;— 4 O brighter than that glorious morn, Shall this fair morning be, When Christ, our King, in beauty comes, And we His face shall see. 5 The King shall come when morning dawns, And earth’s dark night is past; O haste the rising of that morn, That day that aye shall last. 6 And let the endless bliss begin, By weary saints foretold, When right shall triumph over wrong, And truth shall be extolled. 7 The King shall come when morning dawns, And light and beauty brings; Hail, Christ the Lord! Thy people pray Come quickly, King of kings. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Advent Languages: English Tune Title: FARRANT

Arise, the kingdom is at hand

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Johann Rist Hymnal: LHTC1918 #15 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Arise, the kingdom is at hand, The King is drawing nigh; Arise with joy, thou faithful band, To meet the Lord Most High! 2 Look up, ye souls weighed down with care, The Sovereign is not far; Look up, faint hearts, from your despair, Behold the Morning Star! 3 Look up, ye drooping hearts, to-day! The King is very near; O cast your griefs and fears away, For lo, your Help is here! 4 Hope on, ye broken hearts, at last! The King comes in His might; He loved us in the ages past, When we lay wrapped in night. 5 Now fear and wrath to joy give place, Now are our sorrows o'er, Since God hath made us in His grace His children evermore. 6 For this we raise a gladsome voice On high to Thee alone, And evermore with thanks rejoice Before Thy glorious throne. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Advent Languages: English Tune Title: NUN DANKET ALL' UND BRINGET EHR

Jesus, Thy Church with longing eyes

Author: William Hiley Bathurst Hymnal: LHTC1918 #16 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thy Church with longing eyes For Thine expected coming waits: When will the promised Light arise, And glory beam from Zion’s gates? 2 E’en now, when tempests round us fall, And wintry clouds o’ercast the sky, Thy words with pleasure we recall, And deem that our redemption’s nigh. 3 Come, gracious Lord, our hearts renew, Our foes repel, our wrongs redress, Man’s rooted enmity subdue, And crown Thy Gospel with success. 4 O come, and reign o’er every land; Let Satan from his throne be hurled. Let nations bow to Thy command, And grace revive a dying world. 5 Teach us in watchfulness and prayer To wait for the appointed hour; And fit us for Thy grace to share The triumphs of Thy conquering power. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Advent Languages: English Tune Title: HERR JESU CHRIST, MEINS LEBENS LICHT

A great and mighty wonder

Author: John Mason Neale; Germanus of Constantinople, d. 734 Hymnal: LHTC1918 #17 (1917) Meter: 7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 A great and mighty wonder, Our Christmas Festal bring; On earth, a lowly Infant, Behold the King of kings! 2 The Word is made incarnate, Descending from on high; And cherubim sing anthems To shepherds from the sky. 3 And we with them triumphant, Repeat the hymn again: "To God on high be glory, And peace on earth to men!" 4 Since all He comes to ransom, By all be He adored, The Infant born in Bethlehem, The Saviour and the Lord! 5 All idol forms shall perish, And error shall decay, And Christ shall wield His scepter, Our Lord and God for aye. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: KOCHER

All praise to Thee, Eternal Lord

Author: Martin Luther; Anonymous Hymnal: LHTC1918 #18 (1917) Lyrics: 1 All praise to Thee, Eternal Lord, Clothed in a garb of flesh and blood; Choosing a manger for Thy throne, While worlds on worlds were Thine alone. 2 Once did the skies before Thee bow; A Virgin's arms contain Thee now; Angels, who did in Thee rejoice, Now listen for Thine infant voice. 3 A little child, Thou art our guest, That weary ones in Thee may rest-- Forlorn and lonely is Thy birth, That we may rise to heaven from earth. 4 Thou comest in the darksome night, To make us children of the light, To make us, in the realms divine, Like Thine own angels, round Thee shine. 5 All this for us Thy love hath done; By this to Thee our love is won; For this we tune our cheerful lays, And shout our thanks in ceaseless praise. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: CANONBURY

Good news from heaven the angels bring

Author: Arthur Tozer Russell; Martin Luther; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: LHTC1918 #19 (1917) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Good news from heaven the angels bring, Glad tidings to the earth they sing: To us this day a Child is given, To crown us with the joy of heaven. 2 This is the Christ, our God and Lord, Who in all need shall aid afford; He will Himself our Saviour be, From all our sins to set us free. 3 All hail, Thou noble Guest, this morn, Whose love did not the sinner scorn: In my distress Thou com’st to me, What thanks shall I return to Thee? 4 Were earth a thousand times as fair, Beset with gold and jewels rare, She yet were far too poor to be A narrow cradle, Lord, for Thee. 5 Ah, dearest Jesus, Holy Child, Make Thee a bed, soft, undefiled, Within my heart, that it may be A quiet chamber kept for Thee. 6 Praise God upon His heavenly throne, Who gave to us His only Son; For this His hosts, on joyful wing, A blest New Year of mercy sing. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: VOM HIMMEL HOCH
