When John in prison came to hear
Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #XII (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Third Sunday in Advent For the Gospel Lyrics: 1 When John in prison came to hear
How great the works of Jesus were,
Sent his Disciples for to know
Their Saviour Christ, and own him too.
2 When they to Christ enquiring came,
He bid them go to John again
And shew to him where they had been,
And tell the wonders they had seen.
3 The blind are made to see the light,
The dead to feel his pow'r and might;
The deaf to hear the dumb to talk,
The lepres cleans'd, the lame to walk.
4 The poor they hear the gospel sound,
Which heals the soul of every wound;
They learn to know the way of peace,
The way to endless happiness.
5 How happy and how bless'd are they
Who know that Jesus is the way,
They bear the cross and are resign'd
To follow Christ with heart and mind.
6 Should we not praise the Lord our king?
Who did salvation to us bring,
Who pities men the fallen race,
And came to make them heirs of grace. Scripture: Matthew 11:2-11 Languages: English
When John in prison came to hear
Wake, O wake! With tidings thrilling
Author: Philipp Nicolai (1556-1608); Francis Crawford Burkitt (1864-1935) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #54 (2013) Meter: 8.9.8.8.9.8.6.6.4.8.8 Topics: The Third Sunday before Advent Year C Lyrics: 1 Wake, O wake! With tidings thrilling
the watchmen all the air are filling,
arise, Jerusalem, arise!
Midnight strikes! No more delaying,
'The hour has come!' we hear them saying,
'where are ye all, ye virgins wise?
The Bridegroom comes in sight,
raise high your torches bright!'
Alleluia!
The wedding song swells loud and strong:
go forth and join the festal throng.
2 Zion hears the watchmen shouting,
her heart leaps up with joy undoubting,
she stands and waits with eager eyes;
see her Friend from heaven descending,
adorned with truth and grace unending!
Her light burns clear, her star doth rise.
Now come, thou precious Crown,
Lord Jesus, God's own Son!
Alleluia!
Let us prepare to follow there,
where in thy supper we may share.
3 Every soul in thee rejoices;
from earth and from angelic voices
be glory given to thee alone!
Now the gates of pearl receive us,
thy presence never more shall leave us,
we stand with angels round thy throne.
Earth cannot give below
the bliss thou dost bestow.
Alleluia!
Grant us to raise, to length of days,
the triumph-chorus of thy praise. Scripture: Matthew 25:1-13 Languages: English Tune Title: WACHET AUF
Wake, O wake! With tidings thrilling
When the King shall come again
Author: Christopher Idle (b. 1938) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #55 (2013) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Topics: The Third Sunday before Advent Year A Lyrics: 1 When the King shall come again
all his power revealing,
splendour shall announce his reign,
life and joy and healing:
earth no longer in decay,
hope no more frustrated;
this is God's redemption-day
longingly awaited.
2 In the desert trees take root
fresh from his creation;
plants and flowers and sweetest fruit
join the celebration:
rivers spring up from the earth,
barren lands adorning;
valleys, this is your new birth,
mountains, greet the morning!
3 Strengthen feeble hands and knees,
fainting hearts, be cheerful!
God who comes for such as these
seeks and saves the fearful:
deaf ears hear the silent tongues
sing away their weeping;
blind eyes see the lifeless ones
walking, running, leaping.
4 There God's highway shall be seen
where no roaring lion,
nothing evil or unclean
walks the road to Zion:
ransomed people homeward bound,
all your praises voicing,
see your Lord with glory crowned,
share in his rejoicing! Scripture: Isaiah 35 Languages: English Tune Title: ST JOHN DAMASCENE
When the King shall come again
Word of justice, alleluia

We sing the praise of him who died
Author: Thomas Kelly (1769-1855) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #156 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Third Sunday before Advent Year B Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of him who died,
of him who died upon the cross;
the sinner's hope let men deride,
for this we count the world but loss.
2 Inscribed upon the cross we see
in shining letters, 'God is love';
he bears our sins upon the tree;
he brings us mercy from above.
3 The cross! It takes our guilt away:
it holds the fainting spirit up;
it cheers with hope the gloomy day,
and sweetens every bitter cup.
4 It makes the coward spirit brave,
and nerves the feeble arm for fight;
it takes its terror from the grave,
and gilds the bed of death with light:
5 The balm of life, the cure of woe,
the measure and the pledge of love,
the sinner's refuge here below,
the angels' theme in heaven above. Scripture: Galatians 6:14 Languages: English Tune Title: BOW BRICKHILL
We sing the praise of him who died
With joy our voices we unite
Author: Richard Mant Hymnal: Church Book #260 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Advent, Third Sunday Lyrics: 1 With joy our voices we unite,
And lift our hearts above,
To God, the God of power and might,
To God, whose Name is Love.
2 To Him, who us, and earth, and skies,
With all their armies made,
From us, from all, let anthems rise,
To God the Father paid.
3 To Him, whose Death for all mankind,
For us, redemption won,
By us, by all, be songs combined,
In praise to God the Son.
4 To Him, who us and all His fold
With sanctity arrays,
To God, from all His saints enrolled,
The Holy Ghost, be praise.
5 To God, whose Name His Word reveals,
Whom all His saints confess,
Whose grace His faithful promise seals,
To save, to cleanse, to bless:
6 To God, from whom all blessings flow,
Eternal One in Three,
From all His saints, above, below,
Eternal glory be!
