The sky is dark with storm and cloud
Author: John S.B. Monsell Hymnal: Hymns and Devotions for Daily Worship #8b (2024) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Topics: Advent Lyrics: 1. The sky is dark with storm and cloud,
The winds are piping high and loud,
The outer air is dull and chill,
The snow lies heavy on the hill,
Yet there is gladness in the soul
No clouds or darkness may control,
And on the heart a golden glow
Warmer than summer sunsets know.
2. God bless the calm and holy cheer
That ushers in the Christian year,
And whatsoe’er of gloom or shade,
Season, or sorrow may have made,
Lifts us, with its mysterious pow’r
Out of the dark and dying hour
Into the lights that ever play
Round children of th’ eternal day.
3. Blest Advent of our ling’ring Lord!
How high the hope, how sure the word
That thus, with ev’ry year’s return,
Make our dull hearts within us burn
For that long-sought and promised day
When “Heav’n and Earth shall pass away,”
And Christ from highest heav’ns shall come
To take his waiting people home.
4. Since childhood’s early hours, our eyes
Have watched the east for redd’ning skies!
Year after year has Advent brought
Nearer to us the Prize we sought,
But still it lingers—oh, that we
Were more prepared to welcome thee,
Thine Advent with its angel throng
Would not be tarrying, Lord, so long. Scripture: Romans 13:11-12 Languages: English
The sky is dark with storm and cloud
Once He Came in Blessing
Author: Johann Horn (Roh); Miss Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #10 (1926) Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Topics: Church Year Advent; Advent, Second Sunday; Christ Second Advent of; Second Advent Lyrics: 1 Once He came in blessing,
All our ills redressing,
Came in likeness lowly,
Son of God most holy;
Bore the cross to save us,
Hope and freedom gave us.
2 Still He comes within us,
Still His voice would win us
From the sins that hurt us;
Would to truth convert us
From our foolish errors,
Ere He comes in terrors.
3 Thus if Thou hast known Him,
Not ashamed to own Him,
Nor dost love Him coldly,
But will trust Him boldly,
He will now receive thee,
Heal thee, and forgive thee.
4 He who well endureth,
Bright reward secureth;
Come, then, O Lord Jesus,
From our sins release us;
Let us here confess Thee,
Till in heaven we bless Thee.
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 10:32 Languages: English Tune Title: GOTTES SOHN IST KOMMEN

O Very God of Very God
Author: John Mason Neale Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #11 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Church Year Advent; Advent, Second Sunday; Christ Second Advent of; Second Advent Lyrics: 1 O very God of very God,
And very Light of Light,
Whose feet this earth's dark valley trod,
That so it might be bright!
2 Our hopes are weak, our fears are strong,
Thick darkness binds our eyes;
Cold is the night, and O we long
For Thee, our Sun, to rise!
3 And even now, though dull and gray,
The east is brightening fast,
And kindling to the perfect day
That never shall be past.
4 O guide us till our path be done,
And we have reached the shore
Where Thou, our everlasting Sun,
Art shining evermore!
5 We wait in faith, and turn our face
To where the daylight springs,
Till Thou shalt come our gloom to chase,
With healing on Thy wings.
Amen.
Scripture: Malachi 4:2 Languages: English Tune Title: NOTTINGHAM (ST. MAGNUS)

On Jordan's Banks the Herald's Cry
Author: John Chandler Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #13 (1926) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Church Year Advent; Advent, Third Sunday; Advent, Fourth Sunday Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's bank the herald's cry
Announces that the Lord is nigh:
Come then and hearken, for he brings
Glad tidings from the King of kings.
2 Then cleansed be every breast from sin,
Make straight the way for God within,
And let us all our hearts prepare
For Christ to come and enter there.
3 For Thou art our Salvation, Lord,
Our Refuge and our great Reward.
Without Thy grace we waste away,
Like flowers that wither and decay.
4 Stretch forth Thy hand, to health restore,
And make us rise, to fall no more;
Once more upon Thy people shine,
And fill the world with love divine.
5 All praise, eternal Son, to Thee
Whose advent sets Thy people free,
Whom, with the Father, we adore,
And Holy Ghost, forevermore.
Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 40:3 Languages: English Tune Title: MENDON

And let your lights appear!
The evening is advancing,
And darker night is near.
The Bridegroom is arising,
And soon He draweth nigh.
Up, watch, and pray, and wrestle,--
At midnight comes the cry!
2 The watchers on the mountain
Proclaim the Bridegroom near;
Go meet Him as He cometh,
With hallelujahs clear.
The marriage feast is waiting,
The gates wide open stand;
Up, up ye heirs of glory,
The Bridegroom is at hand!
3 Ye saints, who here in patience
Your cross and sufferings bore,
Shall live and reign forever,
When sorrow is no more.
Around the throne of glory
The Lamb ye shall behold,
In triumph cast before Him
Your diadems of gold!
4 Our Hope and Expectation,
O Jesus, now appear;
Arise, Thou Sun so longed for,
O'er this benighted sphere!
With hearts and hands uplifted,
We plead, O Lord, to see
The day of earth's redemption
That brings us unto Thee!
Amen.

There's a Voice in the wilderness
Author: James Lewis Milligan Hymnal: Voices United #18 (1996) Meter: Irregular Topics: Christian Year Advent; Advent 2 Year A; Advent 2 Year B; Advent 2 Year C First Line: There's a voice in the wilderness crying Lyrics: 1 There’s a voice in the wilderness crying,
a call from the ways untrod:
prepare in the desert a highway,
a highway for our God!
The valleys shall be exalted,
the lofty hills brought low;
make straight all the crooked places,
where the God, our God, may go!
2 O Zion, that bringest good tidings,
get thee up to the heights and sing!
Proclaim to a desolate people
the coming of their King.
Like the flowers of the field they perish,
like grass our works decay,
the power and pomp of nations
shall pass like a dream away.
3 But the word of our God endureth,
the arm of the Lord is strong;
God stands in the midst of nations,
and soon will right the wrong.
God shall feed the flock like a shepherd,
the lambs so gently hold;
to pastures of peace will lead them,
and bring them safe to fold.
4 There’s a voice in the wilderness crying,
a call from the ways untrod:
prepare in the desert a highway,
a highway for our God!
The valleys shall be exalted,
the lofty hills brought low;
make straight all the crooked places,
where the God, our, God may go! Languages: English Tune Title: ASCENSION (BANCROFT)

And close the path to misery.
