Arise, the kingdom is at hand

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 29 hymnals 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, 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, 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, For lo, your Help is here! 4 Hope, O ye broken hearts, at last! The King comes on in might; He loved us in the ages past, When we lay wrapt in night, When we lay wrapt in night. 5 Now fear and wrath to joy give place, Now are our sorrow o'er, Since God hath made us, in His grace, His children evermore, His children evermore. 6 O rich the gifts Thou bringest us, Thyself made poor and weak; O Love beyond compare that thus Can foes and sinners seek, Can foes and sinners seek! 7 For this we raise a gladsome voice On high to Thee alone, And evermore with thanks rejoice Before Thy glorious throne, Before Thy glorious throne.

On Judah's plains as shepherds kept

Author: Nahum Tate Appears in 26 hymnals Lyrics: 1 On Judah’s plains as shepherds kept, Watch o'er their flocks by night, The angel of the Lord appeared, Clad in celestial light. 2 Awe-struck the vision they regard, Appalled with trembling fear; When thus a cherub voice divine Breathed sweetly on their ear: 3 “Shepherds of Judah! cease your fears, And calm your troubled mind; Glad tidings of great joy I bring To you and all mankind. 4 “This day Almighty Love fulfills Its great eternal word; This day is born in Bethlehem A Savior, Christ the Lord. 5 There shall you find the heav'nly Babe In humblest weeds arrayed; All meanly wrapped in swaddling clothes, And in a manger laid." 6 He ceased, and sudden all around Appeared a radiant throng Of angels, praising God, and thus They sang their choral song: 7 "Glory to God, from whom on high All gracious mercies flow! Who sends His heav’n-descended peace To dwell with man below." Topics: The Church Year Christmas Used With Tune: LÜTZEN (Lobt Gott, ihr Christen, allzugleich)

Praise God the Lord, Ye Sons of Men

Author: N. Herman, 1480-1561; A. Crull, 1845-1923 Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 23 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Praise God the Lord, ye sons of men, Before His highest throne; Today He opens heav'n again And gives us His own Son, And gives us His own Son. 2 He leaves His heav'nly Father's throne, Is born an infant small, And in a manger, poor and lone, Lies in a humble stall, Lies in a humble stall. 3 He veils in flesh His pow'r divine A servant's form to take; In want and lowliness must pine Who heav'n and earth did make, Who heav'n and earth did make. 4 He nestles at His mother's breast, Receives her tender care, Whom angels hail with joy most blest, King David's royal Heir, King David's royal Heir. 5 'Tis He who in these latter days From Judah's tribe should come, By whom the Father would upraise The Church, His Christendom, The Church, His Christendom. 6 A wondrous change which He does make! He takes our flesh and blood, And He conceals for sinners' sake His majesty of God, His majesty of God. 7 He serves that I a lord may be; A great exchange indeed! Could Jesus' love do more for me To help me in my need, To help me in my need? 8 For us He opens wide the door Of Paradise today; The angel guards the gate no more, To God our thanks we pay, To God our thanks we pay.

O sing a new song to the Lord

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 25 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O sing a new song to the Lord: sing all the earth to God. 2 To God sing, bless his name, show still his saving health abroad. 3 Among the nations of the earth his glory do declare; and unto all the people show his works that wondrous are. 4 For great's the Lord, and greatly he is to be magnified; yea, worthy to be feared is he above all gods beside. 5 For all the gods are idols dumb which blinded nations fear; but our Go d is the Lord, by whom the heavens created were. 6 Great honour is before his face, and majesty divine; strength is within his holy place, and there doth beauty shine. 7 Do ye ascribe unto the Lord, of people every tribe, glory do ye unto the Lord and mighty power ascribe. 8 Give ye the glory to the Lord that to his name is due; come ye into his courts, and bring an offering with you 9 In beauty of his holiness O do the Lord adore; likewise let all the earth throughout tremble his face before. 10 'Mong heathen say, Jehovah reigns; the world shall steadfast be so that it move not; he shall judge the people righteously. 11 Let heavens be glad before the Lord, and let the earth rejoice; let seas and all their fulness roar, and make a mighty noise. 12 Let fields rejoice, and everything that springeth of the earth; then of the forest all the trees shall shout aloud with mirth 13 before the Lord; because he comes, to judge the earth comes he; he'll judge the world with righteousness, the people faithfully.
