Arise, the Kingdom Is at Hand

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Johann Rist Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 28 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 3:1-12 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! Look up, ye souls weighed down with care, The Sovereign is not far; Look up, faint hearts, from your despair, Behold the Morning Star! 2 Look up, ye drooping hearts, today, The King is very near; O cast your griefs and fears away, For lo, your help is here! 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. 3 O rich the gifts Thou bringest us, Thyself made poor and weak; O love beyond compare that thus Can foes and sinners seek! For this we raise a gladsome voice On high to Thee alone, And evermore with thanks rejoice Before Thy glorious throne. Amen. Topics: Jesus Christ Advent Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE

There's a Voice in the Wilderness

Author: James Lewis Milligan (1876-1961) Meter: Irregular Appears in 24 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 3:1-12 First Line: There's a voice in the wilderness crying Lyrics: 1 There’s a voice in the wilderness crying, a call from the ways untrod: prepare in the desert a highway, a highway for our God! The valleys shall be exalted, the lofty hills brought low; make straight all the crooked places, where the Lord our God may go! 2 O Zion, give voice to good tidings, ascend to the heights and sing! Proclaim to a desolate people the coming of their King. The works of pride all perish, like flowers they shall decay; the power and pomp of nations shall pass like a dream away. 3 But your word, O God, is faithful, your arm, O Lord, is strong; you stand in the midst of nations, and you will right the wrong. You will feed your flock like a shepherd, and fold the lambs to your breast; in pastures of peace you’ll lead them, and give to the weary rest. 4 There’s a voice in the wilderness crying, a call from the ways untrod: prepare in the desert a highway, a highway for our God! The valleys shall be exalted, the lofty hills brought low; make straight all the crooked places, where the Lord our God may go! Topics: Advent; John, the Baptist Used With Tune: ASCENSION

Author: Norman Appears in 21 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 3:15 First Line: Thus it became the prince of grace Lyrics: 1 Thus it became the prince of grace, And thus should all the favor'd race High heaven's behests fulfil; For that the condescending God Should lead his followers thro' the flood, Was heaven's eternal will. 2 'Tis not as led by custom's voice, We make these ways our favor'd choice, And thus with zeal pursue: No; heaven's eternal sovereign Lord Has in the precepts of his word, Enjoin'd us thus to do. 3 And shall we ever dare despise The gracious mandate of the skies, Where condescending heaven, To sinful's man's apostate race, In matchless love and boundless grace, His will reveal'd has given? 4 Thou everlasting gracious king, Assist us now thy grace to sing, And still direct our way, To those bright realms of peace and rest, Where all th' exulting tribes are bless'd With one great choral day.
