O Morning Star! how fair and bright

Author: Miss Winkworth; Philip Nicolai Appears in 64 hymnals Topics: Advent, Second Sunday Lyrics: 1 O Morning Star! how fair and bright Thou beamest forth in truth and light! O Sov'reign meek and lowly, Thou Root of Jesse, David's Son, My Lord and Bridegroom, thou hast won My heart to serve Thee solely! Holy art Thou, Fair and glorious, All victorious, Rich in blessing, Rule and might o'er all possessing. 2 Thou Heavenly Brightness! Light Divine! O deep within my heart now shine, And make Thee there an altar! Fill me with joy and strength to be Thy member, ever joined to Thee In love that cannot falter; Toward Thee longing Doth possess me, Turn and bless me, For Thy gladness Eye and heart here pine in sadness. 3 But if Thou look on me in love, There straightway falls from God above A ray of purest pleasure; Thy Word and Spirit, Flesh and Blood, Refresh my soul with heavenly food, Thou art my hidden treasure; Let Thy grace, Lord, Warm and cheer O draw near me; Thou hast taught us Thee to seek since Thou hast sought us! 4 Here will I rest, and hold it fast, The Lord I love is First and Last, The End as the Beginning! Here I can calmly die, for Thou Wilt raise me where Thou dwellest now, Amen! Amen! Come, Lord Jesus, Soon release us, With deep yearning, Lord, we look for Thy returning. Used With Tune: WIE SCHÖN LEUCHT' UNS DER MORGENSTERN

Midnight's solemn hour is tolling, His chariot wheels are nearer rolling; He comes; prepare, yet virgins wise! Rise up with willing feet, Go forth, the Bridegroom meet: Alleluia! Bear through the night your well trimmed light, Speed forth to join the marriage rite. 2 Zion hears the watchmen singing, And all her heart with joy is springing, She wakes, she rises from her gloom; Forth her Bridegroom comes, all-glorious, The strong in grace, in truth victorious; Her Star is risen, her Light is come! All hail, Thou precious One! Lord Jesus, God's dear Son! Alleluia! The joyful call we answer all, And follow to the nuptial hall. 3 Lamb of God, the heavens adore Thee, And men and angels sing before Thee, With harp and cymbal's clearest tone. By the pearly gates in wonder We stand, and swell the voice of thunder, That echoes round Thy dazzling throne. To mortal eyes and ears What glory now appears! Alleluia! We raise the song, we swell the throng, To praise Thee ages all along. Amen. Scripture: Matthew 25:1-13 Used With Tune: WACHET AUF

He comes with clouds descending, Once for guilty sinners slain Lyrics: 1 Lo he comes in clouds descending, Once for helpless sinner slain! Thousand, thousand saints attending Swell the triumph of his train: Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, All the Angels cry amen. 2 Ev'ry eye shall now behold him, Rob'd in dreadful majesty, Those who set at nought and sold Him, Pierc'd and nail'd gim to the tree. Deeply wailing, deeply wailing, deeply wailing, Shall the true Messiah see. 3 Ev'ry island, sea, and mountain, Heav'n and earth, shall flee away; All who hate him, must confounded, Hear the trump proclaim the day; Come to judgment, come to judgment, come to judgment, Come to judgment come away. 4 Now redemption long expected, See, in solemn pomp appear! All his saints by man rejected, Now shall meet him in the air! Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, See the day of God appear. 5 Answer thine own bride and Spirit, Hasten Lord, the gen'ral doom, The new heav'n and earth t' inherit, Take thy pining exiles home, All creation, all creation, all creation, Travails! groans! and bids thee come. 5 Yea, amen let all adore thee, High on thine eternal throne! Saviour, take the pow'r and glory; Claim the kingdom for thine own. O come quickly, O come quickly, O come quickly, Hallelujah! come Lord, come. Text Sources: The Coll.

Hail to the Lord's Anointed

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 842 hymnals Topics: liturgical Scripture Songs 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, are precious in his sight. 3. He shall come down like showers upon the fruitful earth; love, joy, and 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. The United Methodist Hymnal
