Give Thanks for Life
Author: Shirley Erena Murray Meter: 10.10.10 with refrain Appears in 13 hymnals Topics: Advent 3 Year B First Line: Give thanks for life, the measure of our days Lyrics: 1 Give thanks for life, the measure of our days,
mortal, we pass through beauty that decays,
yet sing to God our hope, our love, our praise,
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
2 Give thanks for those who made their life a light
caught from the Christ-flame, bursting through the night,
who touched the truth, who burned for what is right,
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
3 And for our own, our living and our dead,
thanks for the love by which our life is fed,
a love not changed by time or death or dread,
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
4 Give thanks for hope, that like the wheat, the grain
lying in darkness does its life retain,
in resurrection to grow green again,
Hallelujah, hallelujah! Used With Tune: SINE NOMINE

Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming
Author: Theodore Baker; L. Monastier Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.6 Appears in 111 hymnals Topics: Advent 3 Year A First Line: Lo, how a rose e'er blooming (D'un arbre séculaire) Lyrics: 1 Lo, how a rose, e'er blooming,
from tender stem hath sprung,
of Jesse's lineage coming
as seers of old have sung.
It came a blossom bright,
amid the cold of winter
when half spent was the night.
2 Isaiah 'twas foretold it,
the Rose I have in mind,
with Mary we behold it,
the virgin mother kind.
To show God's love aright
she bore for us a Saviour
when half-spent was the night.
French:
1 D'un arbre séculaire,
du vieux tronc d'Isaï,
durant l'hiver austère,
un frais rameau jaillit;
et, sur le sol durci,
dans la nuit calme et claire,
une rose a fleuri.
2 Dieu, par leur voix fervente,
de nombreux serviteurs,
à son peuple en attente,
promettait un Sauveur.
Il vient, suprême honneur,
chez une humble servante,
toute à son pur bonheur. Used With Tune: ES IST EIN' ROS Text Sources: German, 15th century

Er Jesu Kristi Rige,
Dets Herlighed er og saa stor,
At det har ingen Lige.
2 Usynligt vel, som Sjæl og Sind,
Det næmt dog er et kjende,
Alt som en By paa Berge-Tind
Det sees til Verdens Ende.
3 Dets Under er et Guddoms-Ord,
Som skaber, hvad det nævner,
Som fylder Dale trindt paa Jord,
Og Høiene udjævner.
4 Med det indvies Jesu Daab,
Velsignes Jesu Bæger,
Saa hist udspringer Livets Haab,
Og her det vederkvæger.
5 Med det der skabes gode Kaar
For Herrens Kjæmper lave,
At de kan le ad Banesaar,
Og springe over Grave.
6 Med det der skabes Vin af Vand,
Og Pardis af Ørke,
Med et der skabes Lys om Land,
Mens Verden gaar i Mørke.
7 Lad høres kun det Raab, som gaar,
At riget er lagt øde,
Gud kroner ligefuldt sit Aar
med Frugtbarhed og Grøde.
8 Dets Glans opstaar som Aks i Bang,
Som Bar i visne Skove,
Ja prægtig, som med Fuglesnag
Den gylden Sol af Vove.
9 Og naar han kommer i det blaa,
Er Kristnes Kamp til Ende,
Hvad Troende i Speilet saa,
De Salige skal kjende.
10 Da riget er med Sole-Kaar
Tilsyne og tilstede
i Eveghedens Gylden-Aar
Med Ret og Fred og Glæde.
Vidunderligst af alt paa Jord
Christ whose glory fills the skies
Author: C. Wesley (1707-1788) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 485 hymnals Topics: Advent 3 The Forerunner Lyrics: 1 Christ whose glory fills the skies,
Christ the true, the only light;
Sun of righteousness, arise,
triumph over shades of night:
Dayspring from on high, be near;
Daystar, in my heart appear!
2 Dark and cheerless is the morn
till your mercy's beams I see;
joyless is the day's return
till your glories shine on me:
as they inward light impart,
cheer my eyes and warm my heart.
3 Visit then this soul of mine,
pierce the gloom of sin and grief;
fill me, radiancy divine,
scatter all my unbelief;
more and more yourself display,
shining to the perfect day! Used With Tune: RATISBON

in a believer's ear!
it soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds,
and drives away our fear.
2 It makes the wounded spirit whole,
and calms the troubled breast;
it satisfies the hungry soul,
and gives the weary rest.
3 Dear name, the rock on which I build,
my shield and hiding-place;
my never-failing treasury, filled
with boundless stores of grace!
4 Jesus, my shepherd, guardian, friend,
my prophet, priest and king,
my Lord, my life, my way, my end —
accept the praise I bring.
5 Weak is the effort of my heart,
and cold my warmest thought;
but when I see you as you are,
I'll praise you as I ought.
6 Till then I would your love proclaim
with every fleeting breath;
and may the music of your name
refresh my soul in death. Used With Tune: RACHEL

When the King Shall Come Again
Author: Christopher Idle, b. 1938 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 21 hymnals Topics: Advent 3, Year A 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 35:1-6 Used With Tune: GAUDEAMUS PARITER
