Come, my soul, thy suit prepare

Author: John Newton Hymnal: LHTC1918 #A277 (1917) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Publication Date: 1917 Lyrics: 1 Come, my soul, thy suit prepare; Jesus loves to answer prayer; He himself has bid thee pray, Therefore will not say thee nay. 2 Thou art coming to a King: Large petitions with Thee bring; For His grace and power are such, None can ever ask too much. 3 With my burden I begin, Lord! remove this load of sin; Let Thy Blood for sinners spilt, Set my conscience free from guilt. 4 Lord, I come to thee for rest; Take possession of my breast; There Thy blood-bought right maintain, And without a rival reign. 5 Show me what I have to do, Every hour my strength renew; Let me live a life of faith, Let me die Thy people's death. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: SOLITUDE

Comfort, comfort ye, my people

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Johannes Olearius Hymnal: LHTC1918 #8 (1917) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Publication Date: 1917 Lyrics: 1 Comfort, comfort ye, my people, Speak ye peace, thus saith our God; Comfort those who sit in darkness, Mourning 'neath their sorrows' load; Speak ye to Jerusalem Of the peace that waits for them; Tell her that her sins I cover, And her warfare now is over. 2 For the herald's voice is crying In the desert far and near, Bidding all men to repentance, Since the kingdom now is here. O, that warning cry obey! Now prepare for God a way! Let the valleys rise to meet Him, And the hills bow down to greet Him. 3 Make ye straight what long was crooked, Make the rougher places plain: Let your hearts be true and humble, As befits His holy reign; For the glory of the Lord Now o'er earth is shed abroad, And all flesh shall see the token That His Word is never broken.

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.

Come hither, ye faithful, triumphantly sing

Author: Edward Caswall Hymnal: LHTC1918 #21 (1917) Publication Date: 1917 Lyrics: 1 Come hither, ye faithful, triumphantly sing; Come see in the manger the angels' dread King! To Bethlehem hasten, with joyful accord; O come ye, come hither, to worship the Lord! 2 True Son of the Father, He comes from the skies; To be born of a Virgin He doth not despise; To Bethlehem hasten, with joyful accord; O come ye, come hither, to worship the Lord! 3 Hark, hark, to the angels, all singing in heaven, "To God in the highest all glory be given!" To Bethlehem hasten, with joyful accord; O come ye, come hither, to worship the Lord! 4 To Thee, then, O Jesus, this day of Thy birth, Be glory and honor through heaven and earth; True Godhead incarnate, omnipotent Word! O come, let us hasten to worship the Lord! 1 Of the Father's love begotten, Ere the worlds began to be, He is Alpha and Omega, He the source, the ending He, Of the things that are, that have been, And that future years shall see, Evermore and evermore. 2 Oh, that birth forever blessed! When the Virgin, full of grace, By the Holy Ghost conceiving, Bare the Saviour of our race, And the Babe, the world's Redeemer, First revealed His sacred face Evermore and evermore. 3 O ye heights of heaven adore Him; Angel-hosts, His praises sing; Powers, dominions, bow before Him And extol our God and King; Let no tongue on earth be silent, Every voice in concert ring Evermore and evermore. 4 Christ, to Thee, with God the Father, And, O Holy Ghost, to Thee, Hymn and chant and high thanksgiving And unending praises be, Honor, glory and dominion, And eternal victory, Evermore and evermore.

Christians, awake, salute the happy morn

Author: John Byrom Hymnal: LHTC1918 #24 (1917) Publication Date: 1917 Lyrics: 1 Christians, awake, salute the happy morn, Whereon the Saviour of the world was born; Rise to adore the mystery of love, Which hosts of angels chanted from above; With them the joyful tidings first begun Of God incarnate and the Virgin’s Son. 2 Then to the watchful shepherds it was told, Who heard th’angelic herald’s voice, "Behold, I bring good tidings of a Saviour’s birth To you and all the nations upon earth; This day hath God fulfill'd His promised word, This day is born a Saviour, Christ the Lord." 3 He spake; and straightaway the celestial choir In hymns of joy, unknown before, conspire; The praises of redeeming love they sang, And heav’n’s whole orb with Alleluias rang; God’s highest glory was their anthem still, Peace upon earth, and unto men good will. 4 Let us, like these good shepherds, then employ Our grateful voices to proclaim the joy; Trace we the Babe, Who hath retrieved our loss, From His poor manger to His bitter cross, Treading His steps, assisted by His grace, Till man’s first heav’nly state again takes place. 5 Then may we hope, th’angelic hosts among, To sing, redeem'd, a glad triumphal song: He that was born upon this joyful day Around us all His glory shall display; Saved by His love, incessant we shall sing Of angels and of angel-men the King. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: YORKSHIRE

Christ the Life of all the living

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Ernst Christoph Homburg Hymnal: LHTC1918 #98 (1917) Publication Date: 1917 Lyrics: 1 Christ the Life of all the living, Christ the Death of death, our foe, Who Thyself for us once giving To the darkest depths of woe, Patiently didst yield Thy breath But to save my soul from death; Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Blessèd Jesus, unto Thee. 2 Thou, ah Thou, hast taken on Thee Bitter strokes, a cruel rod; Pain and scorn were heaped upon Thee, O Thou sinless Son of God, Only thus for me to win Rescue from the bonds of sin; Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Blessèd Jesus, unto Thee. 3 Thou didst bear the smiting only That it might not fall on me; Stoodest falsely charged and lonely, That I might be safe and free; Comfortless that I might know Comfort from Thy boundless woe. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Blessèd Jesus, unto Thee. 4 Then for all that wrought our pardon, For Thy sorrows deep and sore, For Thine anguish in the garden, I will thank Thee evermore; Thank Thee with my latest breath For Thy sad and cruel death, For that last and bitter cry; Praise Thee evermore on high.

Come ye faithful, raise the strain

Author: John of Damascus; John Mason Neale Hymnal: LHTC1918 #108 (1917) Publication Date: 1917 Lyrics: 1 Come, ye faithful, raise the strain Of triumphant gladness; God hath brought His Israel Into joy from sadness; 'Tis the spring of souls today: Christ hath burst His prison, And from three days' sleep in death As a sun hath risen. 2 All the winter of our sins, Long and dark, is flying From His light, to whom we give Laud and praise undying. Neither might the gates of death, Nor the tomb's dark portal, Nor the watchers, nor the seal, Hold Thee as a mortal. 3 But to-day amidst the Twelve Thou didst stand, bestowing That Thy peace, which evermore Passeth human knowing. Come, ye faithful, raise the strain Of triumphant gladness; God hath brought His Israel Into joy from sadness. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Easter Languages: English Tune Title: ST. KEVIN
