Hark! A Thrilling Voice Is Sounding

Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 138 hymnals Scripture: Luke 21:25-28 First Line: Hark! A thrilling voice is sounding! Lyrics: 1 Hark! A thrilling voice is sounding! "Christ is near," we hear it say. "Cast away the works of darkness, all you children of the day!" 2 Startled at the solemn warning, from the darkness we arise; Christ, our sun, all ill dispelling, shines upon the morning skies. 3 See, the Lamb so long expected comes with pardon down from heaven. Let us haste, with tears of sorrow, one and all, to be forgiven; 4 so when next he comes in glory and the world is wrapped in fear, he will shield us with his mercy and with words of love draw near. 5 Honor, glory, might, dominion to the Father and the Son, with the everliving Spirit while eternal ages run.

In the bleak midwinter

Author: Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830-1894) Meter: Irregular Appears in 88 hymnals Scripture: Luke 21:33 Lyrics: 1 In the bleak midwinter frosty wind made moan, earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone: snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow, in the bleak midwinter, long ago. 2 Our God, heaven cannot hold him, nor earth sustain; heaven and earth shall flee away when he comes to reign: in the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed the Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ. 3 Enough for him whom cherubim worship night and day, a breastful of milk and a mangerful of hay: enough for him whom angels fall down before, the ox and ass and camel which adore. 4 Angels and archangels may have gathered there, cherubim and seraphim thronged the air, but only his mother, in her maiden bliss, worshiped the Beloved with a kiss. 5 What can I give him, poor as I am? If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb, if I were a wise man I would do my part, yet what I can I give him, give my heart.
