Come, O thou prince of glory come!

Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #VII (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Publication Date: 1816 Topics: First Sunday in Advent Lyrics: 1 Come, O thou prince of glory come! O dwell with us, here make thy home; To all the nations shew thy light, And bring the way of truth to sight. 2 To thee is known all we do need, Thou art our comforter indeed. We give our hearts and minds to thee, O may thy dwelling with us be! 3 But O, thou art already here! Our minds and senses feel thee near-- We know that thou art good and kind. Thy grace works sweetly on our mind. 4 O fill our hearts with heavenly love! Teach us true wisdom from above; Our hearts and wills to thee incline, And cause us to be wholy thine. 5 Direct our minds in all thy ways; Our tongues imploy to shew thy praise-- So shall we serve thee as we ought In all our actions, words and thought. 6 Grant us thy blessed spirits aid, By which our feeble minds are stay'd! Increase our hope, confirm our faith, And make us faithful unto death. 7 With heav'nly aid our souls revive, In faith, and truth, and love to thrive, Till we with holy Angels sing: Hosannah to the Lord our king. Scripture: Matthew 21:1-9 Languages: English

Could we O Saviour worthy be!

Thou Sovereign, Lord and King-- As to receive and wellcome thee. Who dost salvation bring. 2 All nations for thy coming wait And wish to know thee near; Let Zion open every gate, Till thou O King, appear! 3 Thy Zion streweth forth her Palms To ornament thy way; And we will worship thee with Psalms, And humbly sing and pray. 4 Our souls are nourish'd by thy grace, To praise thee is our theme; Our hearts are fill'd with thankfullness, We bless and praise thy name. 5 How great has thy compassion been, Thou Saviour of mankind-- When all the world lay dead in sin And no relief could find; 6 Then did'st thou, mighty Saviour come, To set us pris'ners free! To ransome us, to take us home, To be and dwell with thee. 7 We praise thee, O thou mighty one, Thy mercies we adore; To thee, O Saviour, thee alone! Be praise for ever more. Languages: English

Christum wir sollen loben schon, Der reinen magd Marien Sohn, So weit die liebe sonne leucht't, Und an der welt ende reicht. 2. Der selig' Schöpfer aller ding' Zog an ein's knechtes leib gering, Daß er das fleisch durch's fleisch erwürb Und sein geschöpf nicht gar verdürb. 3. Die göttlich' Gnad' vom himmel groß Sich in die keusche mutter goß; Ein mägdlein trug ein heimlich pfand, Das der natur war unbekannt. 4. Das züchtig' haus des herzens zart Gar bald ein tempel Gottes ward; Die kein mann rühret noch erkannt, Von Gottes wort man schwanger fand. 5. Die edle mutter hat gebor'n Den Gabriel verhieß zuvor'n, Den Sanct Johann's mit springen zeigt, Da er noch lag im mutterleib. 6. Er lag in heu mit armuth groß, Die krippen hart ihn nicht verdroß; Es ward ein' kleine milch sein speis', Der nie kein vöglein hungern ließ. 7. Des himmels chör' sich freuen drob Und die engel singen Gott lob, Den armen hirten wird vermeld't Der Hirt und Schöpfer aller welt. 8. Lob, Ehr' und Dank sei dir gesagt, Christ g'boren von der reinen magd, Mit Vater und dem heil'gen Geist, Von nun an bis in ewigkeit. Amen. Languages: German

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #232 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Publication Date: 1870 Topics: Christ advent of Lyrics: 1 Calm on the list'ning ear of night Come heaven's melodious strains, Where wild Judea stretches far Her silver-mantled plains. 2 Celestial choirs, from courts above, Shed sacred glories there, And angels, with their sparkling lyres, Make music on the air. 3 The joyous hills of Palestine Send back the glad reply. And greet, from all their holy heights, The day-spring from on high. 4 O'er the blue depths of Galilee There comes a holier calm, And Sharon waves, in solemn praise, Her silent groves of palm. 5 "Glory to God!" the sounding skies Loud with anthems ring; "Peace to the earth, good will to men, From heaven's eternal King!"
