O Ruler of the Universe

Author: John Chandler, 1806-1876; Charles Coffin, 1676-1749 Hymnal: LBoW1978 #22 (1978) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The advent of our God Shall be our theme for prayer; Come, let us meet him on the road And place for him prepare. 2 The everlasting Son Incarnate stoops to be, Himself the servant's form puts on To set his people free. 3 Come, Zion's daughter, rise To meet your lowly king, Nor let your faithless heart despise The peace he comes to bring. 4 As judge, on clouds of light, He soon will come again, And all his scattered saints unite With him on high to reign. 5 Before the dawning day Let sin be put to flight; No longer let the law hold sway, But walk in freedom's light. 6 All glory to the Son, Who comes to set us free, With Father, Spirit, ever one Through all eternity.

O Lord, How Shall I Meet You

Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1606-1676 Hymnal: LBoW1978 #23 (1978) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 O Lord, how shall I meet you, How welcome you aright? Your people long to greet you, My hope, my heart's delight! Oh, kindle, Lord most holy, Your lamp within my breast To do in spirit lowly All that may please you best. 2 Your Zion strews before you Green boughs and fairest palms; And I, too, will adore you With joyous songs and psalms. My heart shall bloom forever For you with praises new And from your name shall never Withhold the honor due. 3 I lay in fetters, groaning; You came to set me free. I stood, my shame bemoaning; You came to honor me. A glorious crown you give me, A treasure safe on high That will not fail or leave me As earthly riches fly. 4 Love caused your incarnation; Love brought you down to me. Your thirst for my salvation Procured my liberty. Oh, love beyond all telling, That led you to embrace In love, all love excelling, Our lost and fallen race. 5 Rejoice, then, you sad-hearted, Who sit in deepest gloom, Who mourn your joys departed And tremble at your doom. Despair not; he is near you, There, standing at the door, Who best can help and cheer you And bids you weep no more. 6 He comes to judge the nations, A terror to his foes, A light of consolations And blessed hope to those Who love the Lord's appearing. O glorious Sun, now come, Send forth Your beams so cheering And guide us safely home. Topics: Advent; Advent Languages: English Tune Title: WIE SOLL ICH DICH EMPFANGEN

The bridegroom is arising And soon is drawing nigh. Up, pray and watch and wrestle; At midnight comes the cry. 2 The watchers on the mountain Proclaim the bridegroom near; Go forth as he approaches With alleluias clear. The marriage feast is waiting; The gates wide open stand. Arise, O heirs of glory; The bridegroom is at hand. 3 The saints, who here in patience Their cross and suff'rings bore, Shall live and reign forever When sorrow is no more. Around the throne of glory The Lamb they shall behold; In triumph cast before him Their diadems of gold. 4 Our hope and expectation, O Jesus, now appear; Arise, O 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 sets your people free!

He comes with clouds descending, Once for favored sinners slain; Thousand thousand saints attending Swell the triumph of his train: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia! Christ the Lord returns to reign. 2 Ev'ry eye shall now behold him Robed in glorious majesty; Those who set at nought and sold him, Pierced and nailed him to the tree, Deeply wailing, deeply wailing, deeply wailing, Shall their true Messiah see. 3 Those dear tokens of his Passion Still his dazzling body bears, Cause of endless exultation To his ransomed worshipers. With what rapture, with what rapture, with what rapture Gaze we on those glorious scars! 4 Yea, amen, let all adore thee, High on thine eternal throne; Savior, take the pow'r and glory, Claim the kingdom as thine own. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia! Thou shalt reign, and thou alone! Topics: Advent; Advent; Church Triumphant; Judgment Languages: English Tune Title: HELMSLEY

Comfort those who sit in darkness Mourning under sorrow’s load. To God's people now proclaim That God's pardon waits for them! Tell them that their war is over; God will reign in peace forever! 2 For the herald’s voice is crying In the desert far and near, Calling us to true repentance, Since the Kingdom now is here. Oh, that warning cry obey! Now prepare for God a way! Let the valleys rise to meet him, And the hills bow to greet him! 3 Straight shall be what long was crooked, And the rougher places plain! Let your hearts be true and humble, As befits his holy reign! For the glory of the Lord Now on earth is shed abroad, And all flesh shall see the token That God's word is never broken.

By thine own eternal Spirit Rule in all our hearts alone; By thine all-sufficient merit Raise us to thy glorious throne. Topics: Advent; Advent 4; Advent Languages: English Tune Title: JEFFERSON
