The Prince Of Peace Is Come
Author: John Needham Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Prince of Peace is come,
Ye nations shout and sing;
Let men and angels join their songs,
To hail this glorious King.
2 He takes the servant’s form;
He lays His glory by;
His heavenly Father’s bosom leaves,
And throne of majesty.
3 Light of the world He comes,
The blind receive their sight;
The mind now feels His gladdening ray,
And all within is light.
4 Physician blest He came,
And well employs His art;
With ease He makes the bruisèd whole,
And heals the broken heart.
5 His tears, His sighs and pains
Ease to the wounded give;
The kind physician dies to make
The dying patients live.
6 The great Redeemer comes,
And sounds a jubilee:
He burst the prison doors, and bids
The captive souls go free.
7 Evangelist divine,
He makes the Gospel known;
The poor the joyful tidings hear,
And their great prophet own.
8 Whilst gracious God I hear
Thy Gospel’s joyful sound,
May my glad heart, my tongue, my life,
Be all obedience found. Used With Tune: ADVENT Text Sources: Hymns Devotional and Moral on Various Subjects (Bristol, England: S. Farley, 1768)

Let Hearts and Tongues Unite
Author: John Newton Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Let hearts and tongues unite
And loud thanksgivings raise;
’Tis duty, mingled with delight,
The Savior’s name to praise.
2. To Him we owe our breath,
He took us from the womb,
Which else had shut us up in death,
And proved an early tomb.
3. When on the breast we hung
Our help was in the Lord;
’Twas He first taught our infant tongue
To form the lisping word.
4. When in our blood we lay
He would not let us die,
Because His love had fixed a day
To bring salvation nigh.
5. In childhood and in youth
His eye was on us still;
Though strangers to His love and truth,
And prone to cross His will.
6. And since His name we knew,
How gracious has He been!
What dangers has He led us through,
What mercies have we seen!
7. Now through another year
Supported by His care;
We raise our Ebenezer here,
The Lord has helped thus far.
8. Our lot in future years
Unable to foresee
He, kindly to prevent our fears,
Says, Leave it all to Me.
9. Yea, Lord, we wish to cast
Our cares upon Thy breast!
Help us to praise Thee for the past,
And trust Thee for the rest. Used With Tune: ADVENT (Goss) Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779), number 42

Oh, hear the prayer of faith, and grant
That we may eat, and live.

And see yon "holy mount" bespeak

Who ne’er began, ne’er ends; controlled
By neither space nor time.

The royal David’s heir.

And bids us, "hear, believe."

While in the midst Thy symbols shine
Of Heav’n’s triunal throne. Used With Tune: ADVENT Text Sources: Tr.: Ancient Hymns from the Roman Breviary (London, J. G. & F. Rivington, 1837)

Long Had The Nations Sat

To one faint gleam of light.

Sent to prepare the way.

The sun itself arise!

Salutes our wondering eyes.

Dispel the doleful night;
He from our eyelids clears the film,
And pours in heavenly light.

Thy doctrine life imparts;
O may we feel its quickening power,
To warm and glad our hearts.

Shall run the heavenly way;
The paths which Thou hast marked and trod
Shall lead to endless day. Used With Tune: ADVENT Text Sources: Hymns Devotional and Moral on Various Subjects (Bristol, England: S. Farley, 1768)
