Far, far ahead, to win us, Yet with us, nay within us; Till all shall see That King is he, The Love from Galilee! Scripture: Luke 1:26-38 Used With Tune: ANNUNCIATION Text Sources: St. 1: Dutch

'Tis the Lord of all creation, Who this wondrous path hath trod; He is God from everlasting, And to everlasting God. 2 Who is this,--a Man of Sorrows, Walking sadly life's hard way, Homeless, weary, sighing, weeping Over sin and Satan's sway? 'Tis our God, our glorious Saviour, Who above the starry sky Now for us a place prepareth Where no tear can dim the eye. 3 Who is this?--behold Him shedding Drops of blood upon the ground? Who is this,--despised, rejected, Mocked, insulted, beaten, bound? 'Tis our God, who gifts and graces Poureth on His Church below, Now, in royal might victorious, Triumphing o'er every foe. 4 Who is this that hangeth dying While the rude world scoffs and scorns, Numbered with the malefactors, Torn with nails, and crowned with thorns? 'Tis the God who ever liveth 'Mid the shining ones on high, In the glorious golden city Reigning everlastingly. Amen. Used With Tune: AUTUMN

Hark! hark! the notes of joy

Appears in 95 hymnals Topics: Christ advent of Lyrics: 1 Hark! hark! the notes of joy Roll o’er the heavenly plains, And seraphs find employ For their sublimest strains: Some new delight in Heaven is known; Loud sound the harps around the throne. 2 Hark! hark! the sounds draw nigh; The joyful hosts descend; The Lord forsakes the sky; To earth His footsteps bend; He comes to bless our fallen race; He comes with messages of grace. 3 Bear, bear the tidings round; Let ev'ry mortal know What love in God is found, What pity He can show: Ye winds that blow, ye waves that roll, Convey the news from pole to pole. 4 Strike, strike the harps again, To great Immanuel’s name; Arise, ye sons of men, And all His grace proclaim: Angels and men, wake ev'ry string; ’Tis God the Saviour’s praise we sing.
