With what rapture, with what rapture, Gaze we on those glorious scars! 4 Yea, amen, let all adore thee, High on thine eternal throne; Savior, take the pow'r and glory, Claim the kingdom for thine own. Alleluia, alleluia! Thou shalt reign, and thou alone! Topics: Advent; Church Triumphant; Judgment; Second Coming of Christ; Sunday of the Fulfillment Languages: English Tune Title: PICARDY

"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, Let the earth-bound soul arise; Christ, its sun, all sloth dispelling, Shines upon the morning skies. 3 See, the Lamb, so long expected, Comes with pardon down from heav'n. Let us haste, with tears of sorrow, One and all, to be forgiv'n; 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!

Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-76 Hymnal: LW1982 #19 (1982) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 O Lord, how shall I meet you, How welcome you aright? Your people long to greet you, My hope, my heart's delight! Oh, kindle, Lord most holy, Your lamp within my breast To do in spirit lowly All that may please you best. 2 Your Zion strews before you Green boughs and fairest palms; And I too will adore you With joyous songs and psalms. My heart shall bloom forever For you with praises new And from your name shall never Withhold the honor due. 3 I lay in fetters, groaning; You came to set me free. I stood, my shame bemoaning; You came to honor me. A glorious crown you give me, A treasure safe on high That will not fail or leave me As earthly riches fly. 4 Love caused your incarnation; Love brought you down to me. Your thirst for my salvation Procured my liberty. Oh, love beyond all telling, That led you to embrace In love, all love excelling, Our lost and fallen race. 5 Rejoice, then, you sad-hearted, Who sit in deepest gloom, Who mourn your joys departed And tremble at your doom. Despair not; he is near you, There, standing at the door, Who best can help and cheer you And bids you weep no more. 6 He comes to judge the nations, A terror to his foes, A light of consolations And blessed hope to those Who love the Lord's appearing. O glorious Sun, now come, Send forth your beams so cheering And guide us safely home. Topics: Advent Languages: English Tune Title: WIE SOLL ICH DICH EMPFANGEN
