Announces that the Lord is nigh;
Awake and hearken, for he brings
Glad tidings of the King of kings.
2 Then cleansed be every life from sin;
Make straight the way for God within,
And let each heart prepare a home
Where such a mighty guest may come.
3 For you are our salvation, Lord,
Our refuge, and our great reward;
Without your grace we waste away
Like flow'rs that wither and decay.
4 To heal the sick stretch out your hand,
And bid the fallen sinner stand;
Shine forth, and let your light restore
Earth's own true loveliness once more.
5 All praise the Son eternally,
Whose advent set his people free;
Whom with the Father we adore
And Spirit blest for evermore.

Born to set your people free;
From our fears and sins release us;
Free us from captivity.

You, the hope of all the earth,
Dear desire of ev'ry nation,
Come and save us by your birth.
3 Born your people to deliver;
Born a child and yet a King!
Dear desire of ev'ry nation,
Come, and save us by your birth.
4 By your own eternal Spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By your all sufficient merit
Raise us to your glorious throne.

Speak of peace, now says our God;
Comfort those who sit in darkness,
Mourning 'neath their sorrow's load.
Speak unto Jerusalem
Of the peace that waits for them;
Tell of all the sins I cover,
And that warfare now is over.
2 Hark, the voice of one who's crying
In the desert far and near.
Bidding all to full repentance
Since the kingdom now is here.
O that warning cry obey!
Now prepare for God a way;
Let the valleys rise to meet him
And the hills bow down to greet him.
3 O make straight what long was crooked,
Make the rougher places plain;
Let your hearts be true and humble,
As befits his holy reign.
For the glory of the Lord
Now o'er earth is shed abroad;
And all flesh shall see the token
That his word is never broken.

When the King Shall Come Again
Author: Christopher Idle, b. 1938 Hymnal: Gather Comprehensive #327 (1994) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Seasons and Feasts Advent Lyrics: 1 When the King shall come again
All his pow'r revealing,
Splendor shall announce his reign,
Life and joy and healing;
Earth no longer in decay,
Hope no more frustrated;
This is God's redemption day
Longingly awaited.
2 In the desert trees take root
Fresh from his creation;
Plants and flow'rs and sweetest fruit
Join the celebration;
Rivers spring up from the earth,
Barren lands adorning;
Valleys, this is your new birth,
Mountains, greet the morning!
3 Strengthen feeble hands and knees,
Fainting hearts, be cheerful!
God who comes for such as these
Seeks and saves the fearful;
Now the deaf can hear the dumb
Sing away their weeping;
Blind eyes, see the injured come
Walking, running, leaping.
4 There God's highway shall be seen
Where no roaring lion,
Nothing evil or unclean
Walks the road to Zion:
Ransomed people homeward bound
All your praises voicing,
See your Lord with glory crowned,
Share in his rejoicing! Scripture: Isaiah 35 Languages: English Tune Title: GAUDEAMUS PARITER

By the Spirit of our God
Was the word of God made flesh--
Woman's offspring, pure and fresh.
3 Wondrous birth! O wondrous child
Of the Virgin undefiled!
Mighty God and man in one,
Eager now his race to run!
4 God Creator is his source,
Back to God he runs his course,
Down to death and hell descends,
God's high throne he reascends.
5 Now your lowly manger bright
Hallows night with newborn light;
Let no night this light subdue,
Let our faith shine ever new.
