Gud, efter dig mig længes

Author: Hans Sthen Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Advent 4 Evening Service Lyrics: 1 Gud, efter dig mig længes, Af Sorgen Hjertet trænges, Til dig staar al min Lid Alt paa dit Ord og Naade Jeg trøster i min Vaade, O Herre, vær mig mild og blid! 2 Mit Hjerte gjøres bange For mine Synder mange, Jesus er dog min Trøst; Jeg tror ham vel for alle, Han vil ei fra mig falde, Han har mig med sit Blod forløst. 3 Stor Fristelse jeg finder, Min Synd saa hart mig binder, O Gud, hjælp mig derfra! Lad mig fortabt ei blive I Døden eller Live, Jeg evig dig vil prise da! 4 O Jesus, Lifsens Herre, Vil du min Jesus være! Jesus, hvor sødt et Navn! Jesus, min Frelser milde, Vil sig fra mig ei skille, Jesus han er min trygge Havn. 5 Gud Fader, dig miskunde, Lad mig ei gaa til Grunde, Mit Haab er sat til dig! Guds Søn, som mig forløste, Du hjælpe mig og trøste, Styrk det, du har begyndt i mig! 6 Guds Aand i lige Maade Mig give Visdom Naade, Giv lykke, gode Raad, Til flittig Tjener være, Mit Kors taalmodig bære, Og faa i Himlen Del og Lod!

Once in Royal David's City

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 407 hymnals Topics: Advent 4 Year A; Advent 4 Year B Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city stood a lowly cattle-shed, where a mother laid her baby in a manger for his bed. Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little child. 2 He came down to earth from heaven, who, with God is over all, and his shelter was a stable, and his cradle was a stall. There among the poor and lowly lived on earth our Saviour holy. 3 For he is our lifelong pattern; daily, when on earth he grew; he was tempted, scorned, rejected, tears and smiles like us he knew. Thus he feels for all our sadness, and he shares in all our gladness. 4 And our eyes at last shall see him, through his own redeeming love; for that child who seemed so helpless is our Lord in heaven above; and he leads his children on to the place where he is gone.

O morning stars, together proclaim the holy birth, and praises sing to God the King, and peace to all on earth. 3 How silently, how silently, the wondrous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts the blessed gift of heaven. No ear may hear his coming; but in this world of sin, where meek souls will receive him, still the dear Christ enters in. 4 O holy Child of Bethlehem, descend to us, we pray; cast out our sin, and enter in; be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels the great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, our Lord Emmanuel. Used With Tune: ST LOUIS
