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.

Let earth in jubilation
Reflect Thy radiant glow.

Let Gentiles gain Thy favor,
And of Thy glory tell.

Object of the spirit's love,
Fountain in life's desert dreary,
Saviour from the world above:
O how oft Thine eyes, offended,
Gaze upon the sinner's fall!
Yet, upon the cross extended,
Thou didst bear the pain of all.
2 Do we pass that cross unheeding,
Breathing no repentant vow,
Though we see Thee wounded, bleeding,
See Thy thorn-encircled brow?
Yet Thy sinless death has brought us
Life eternal, peace, and rest;
Only what Thy grace has taught us
Calms the sinner's stormy breast.
3 Jesus, may our hearts be burning
With more fervent love for Thee;
May our eyes be ever turning
To Thy cross of agony;
Till in glory parted never
From the blessèd Saviour's side,
Graven in our hearts forever
Dwell the cross, the Crucified.
Amen.

A sweeter sound than Thy blest Name,
O Saviour of mankind!

O Joy of all the meek,
To those who fall, how kind Thou art,
How good to those who seek!

Nor tongue nor pen can show;

None but His loved ones know.

As Thou our Prize wilt be;
Jesus, be Thou our Glory now,
And through eternity!

To receive their heav'nly King.

With the trump of jubilee?
Lord of battles, God of armies,
He has gained the victory!

He who from the grave arose,
He hath vanquished sin and Satan,
He by death hath spoiled His foes.

On the clouds to God's right hand:

There with Him in glory stand;

Man with God is on the throne:
Mighty Lord, in Thine ascension
We by faith behold our own.

To whom He manifests His love,
And grants His name to know.

With all its grace, is given;
Their name an everlasting name,
Their joy the joy of heaven.
5 They suffer with their Lord below,
They reign with Him above;
Their profit and their joy to know
The mystery of His love.
6 The cross He bore is life and health,
Though shame and death to Him:
His people's hope, His people's wealth,
Their everlasting theme.

Low at Thy cross we lie:
Lord, in Thy great compassion,
Hear our bewailing cry.
We come to Thee with mourning,
We come to Thee in woe;
With contrite hearts returning,
And tears that overflow.
2 O gracious Intercessor!
O Priest within the veil,
Please for each lost transgressor
The blood that cannot fail.
We lay our sins before Thee,
We tell them one by one:
O for Thy Name's great glory
Forgive all we have done.
3 O by Thy cross and passion,
Thy tears and agony,
And crown of cruel fashion,
And death on Calvary;
By all that untold suffering,
Endured by Thee alone,
O Priest, O spotless Offering,
Plead, for Thou didst atone!
4 And in these hearts now broken
Re-enter Thou and reign,
And say, by that dear token,
We are absolved again.
And build us up, and guide us,
And guard us day by day;
And in Thy presence hide us,
And take our sins away.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: OLD 130TH PSALM

And thirst our souls from Thee to fill.

Where'er our changeful lot is cast,
Glad, that Thy gracious smile we see,
Blest, that our faith can hold Thee fast.

Make all our moments calm and bright;
Chase the dark night of sin away,
Shed o'er the world Thy holy light.

And night comes stealing on;
But Thou, dear Lord, art ever near,
My Day when day is gone.
Thy wings in love o'ershadow me,
The night with Thee is light;
I rest in Thee, Thou Changeless One,
And wait the dawning bright.
2 My life is but a fleeting day,
My race, how quickly run!
The dawn and noon-day glory fade
Into the setting sun.
A stranger and a pilgrim here,
With faltering feet I roam;
Lord, let Thy glory light the way
That leads me to my home.
3 By faith I see the better land,
Where falls no earthly night,
Where Thou dost shine, a radiant Sun,
The Everlasting Light.
Then help me, Lord, to walk with Thee,
And keep me Thine alway,
That when I sleep, I may awake
Unto the perfect day.

Rise, O Salem, Rise and Shine

Lo, the Gentiles hail thy waking:
Herald of a morn divine,
See the Dayspring o’er us breaking,
Telling God hath called to mind
Those who long in darkness pined.
2 O how blindly did we stray,
Ere this Sun our earth had brightened;
Heaven we sought not, for no ray
Had our wildered eyes enlightened:
All our looks were earthward bent,
All our strength on earth was spent.
3 But the Dayspring from on high
Hath arisen with beams unclouded,
And we see before Him fly
All the heavy gloom that shrouded
This sad earth, where sin and woe
Seemed to reign o’er all below.
4 Thine appearing, Lord, shall fill
All my thoughts in sorrow’s hour;
Thine appearing, Lord, shall still
All my dread of death’s dark power;
Whether joys or tears be mine,
Through them still Thy light shall shine.
5 Let me, when my course is run,
Calmly leave a world of sadness
For the place that needs no sun,--
For Thou art its light and gladness,--
For the mansions fair and bright,
Where Thy saints are crowned with light.
Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 60:1-6 Languages: English Tune Title: JESUS ALLT MITT GODA ÄR
Rise, O Salem, Rise and Shine
