Author: Frederick William Henry Myers (1843-1901) Hymnal: The Hymnal #110 (1950) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Topics: Christ advent of Lyrics: 1 Hark, what a sound, and too divine for hearing, Stirs on the earth and trembles in the air! Is it the thunder of the Lord's appearing? Is it the music of His people's prayer? 2 Surely He cometh, and a thousand voices Shout to the saints and to the deaf are dumb; Surely He cometh, and the earth rejoices, Glad in His coming who hath sworn, "I come." 3 So even I, and with a pang more thrilling, So even I, and with a hope more sweet, Yearn for the sign, O Christ, of Thy fulfilling, Faint for the flaming of Thine advent feet. 4 Yea, through life, death, through sorrow and through sinning He shall suffice me, for He hath sufficed; Christ is the end, for Christ was the beginning, Christ the beginning, for the end is Christ. Amen. Tune Title: WELWYN

Hail to the Lord's Anointed

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Hymnal #111 (1950) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Christ advent of 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, Were precious in His sight. 3 He shall come down like showers Upon the fruitful earth, And love, joy, 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 O'er every foe victorious, He on His throne shall rest, From age to age more glorious, All blessing and all blest; The tide of time shall never His covenant remove; His Name shall stand forever— That Name to us is Love. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 72 Tune Title: TOURS
