"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 87 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.

Christian Patience

O what a grace divine Sent from the God of power and love That leans upon its father's hand, As thro' the wilds of life we rove. 2 By patience we serenely bear The troubles of our mortal state, And wait contented our discharge, Nor think our glory comes too late. 3 Tho's we in full sensation feel The weight, the wounds our God ordains, We smile amid our heaviest woes, And triumph in our sharpest pains. 4 O for this grace to aid us on, And arm with fortitude the breast, 'Till, life's tumultuous voyage o'er, We reach the shores of endless rest. 5 Faith into vision shall resign, Hope shall in full fruition die; And patience in possession end In the bright worlds of bliss on high.

Castillo Fuerte

Author: Martín Lutero; Juan B. Cabrera Appears in 38 hymnals Scripture: Luke 21:12-18 First Line: Castillo fuerte es nuestro Dios Lyrics: 1 Castillo fuerte es nuestro Dios, defensa y buen escudo; Con su poder nos librará en esta trance agudo. Con furia y con afán acósanos Satán; por armas deja ver astucia y gran poder; cual él no hay en la tierra. 2 Nuestro valor es nada aquí, con él todo es perdido; Mas por nosotros pugnará de Dios el Escogido. Es nuestro Rey Jesús, el que venció en la cruz, Señor y Salvador, y siendo él solo Dios, él triunfa en la batalla. 3 Aunque estén demonios mil prontos a devorarnos, No temeremos, porque Dios sabrá como ampararnos. Que muestre su vigor Satán, y su furor; dañarnos no podrá; pues condenado es ya por la Palabra Santa. 4 Esa palabra del Señor que el mundo no apetece, Por el Espíritu de Dios muy firme permanece. Nos pueden despojar de bienes y hogar, el cuerpo destruir, mas siempre ha de existir de Dios el Reino eterno.
