The Advent of Our King

Author: Charles Coffin; John Chandler Hymnal: CWLH1993 #1 (1993) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The advent of our King Our prayers must now employ, And we must hymns of welcome sing In strains of holy joy. 2 The everlasting Son Incarnate deigns to be, Himself a servant's form puts on To set his servants free. 3 O Zion's Daughter, rise To meet your lowly King, Nor let a faithless heart despise The peace he comes to bring. 4 As judge, on clouds of light, He soon will come again And his true members all unite With him in heav'n to reign. 5 Before the dawning Day Let sin's dark deeds be gone, The sinful self be put away, The new self now put on. 6 All glory to the Son, Who comes to set us free, With Father, Spirit, ever one Through all eternity.

Savior of the Nations, Come

Author: Ambrose, 340-397; Martin Luther; William M. Reynolds Hymnal: CWLH1993 #2 (1993) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Savior of the nations, come; Virgin's Son, make here your home. Marvel now, O heav'n and earth, That the Lord chose such a birth. 2 Not by human flesh and blood, By the Spirit of our God Was the Word of God made flesh, Woman's offspring, pure and fresh. 3 Wondrous birth! O wondrous Child Of the virgin undefiled, Though by all the world disowned, Yet to be in heav'n enthroned! 4 From the Father's throne he came And ascended to the same, Captive leading death and hell -- High the song of triumph swell! 5 Praise to God the Father sing, Praise to God the Son, our King, Praise to God the Spirit be Ever and eternally.

Life and salvation he will bring; Therefore rejoice and gladly sing.

The end of all our woe he brings; Therefore the earth is glad and sings. To Christ the Savior raise Your grateful hymns of praise. 3 How blest the land, the city blest, Where Christ the ruler is confessed! O peaceful hearts and happy homes To whom this King in triumph comes! The cloudless sun of joy is he Who comes to set his people free.

So shall your Sov'reign enter in And new and nobler life begin. To God alone be praise For word and deed and grace! 5 Redeemer, come! I open wide My heart to you; here, Lord, abide! Oh, enter with your saving grace; Show me your kind and friendly face. Your Holy Spirit guide us on Until our glorious goal is won. Eternal praise and fame We offer to your name.

The marriage feast is waiting; The gates wide open stand. Arise, O heirs of glory; The Bridegroom is at hand. 3 You saints, who here in patience Your cross and suff'rings bore, Shall live and reign forever When sorrow is no more. Around the throne of glory The Lamb you shall behold; In triumph lay before him Your shining crowns of gold. 4 Arise, Desire of nations; O Jesus, now appear, The Hope and Expectation Of ev'ry Christian here. With hearts and hands uplifted We plead, O Lord, to see The day of earth's redemption That sets your people free. Topics: Advent; Advent Languages: English Tune Title: HAF TRONES LAMPA FÄRDIG

Author: Johann Walter, 1496-1570 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #10 (1993) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 The Bridegroom soon will call us; Shake off your drowsy sleep! Lest carelessness befall us, A watchful vigil keep! May all our lamps be burning With oil enough and more That we, with him returning, May find an open door! 2 There shall we see in glory Our dear Redeemer's face; The long-awaited story Of heav'nly joy takes place: The patriarchs shall meet us, The prophets' holy band; Apostles, martyrs greet us In that celestial land. 3 There God shall from all evil Forever make us free, From sin and from the devil, From all adversity, From sickness, pain, and sadness, From troubles, cares, and fears, And grant us heav'nly gladness And wipe away our tears. 4 In that fair home shall never Be silent music's voice; With hearts and lips forever We shall in God rejoice, While angel hosts are raising With saints from great to least A mighty hymn for praising The giver of the feast.
