Hark! the sound of holy voices
Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-1885 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 236 hymnals Topics: Year A Advent 4 Lyrics: 1 Hark! the sound of holy voices,
chanting at the crystal sea:
Alleluia, alleluia,
alleluia, Lord, to thee:
multitude, which none can number,
like the stars in glory stands,
clothed in white apparel, holding
palms of vict'ry in their hands.
2 Patriarch and holy prophet,
who prepared the way of Christ,
king, apostle, saint, confessor,
martyr and evangelist,
saintly maiden, godly matron,
widows who have watched in prayer,
joined in holy concert, singing
to the Lord of all, are there.
3 They have come from tribulation,
and have washed their robes in blood,
washed them in the blood of Jesus;
tried they were, and firm they stood;
gladly, Lord, with thee they suffered;
gladly, Lord, with thee they died,
and by death to life immortal
they were born and glorified.
4 Now they reign in heav'nly glory,
now they walk in golden light,
now they drink, as from a river,
holy bliss and infinite;
love and peace they taste for ever,
and all truth and knowledge see
in the beatific vision
of the blessèd Trinity.
5 God of God, the one-begotten,
Light of Light, Emmanuel,
in whose body joined together
all the saints for ever dwell;
pour upon us of thy fullness,
that we may for evermore
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
truly worship and adore. Scripture: Matthew 1:23 Used With Tune: DEERHURST
Hark! the sound of holy voices
O God, our help in ages past

our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home.
2 Beneath the shadow of thy throne,
thy saints have dwelt secure;
sufficient is thine arm alone,
and our defence is sure.
3 Before the hills in order stood,
or earth received her frame,
from everlasting thou art God,
to endless years the same.
4 A thousand ages in thy sight
are like an evening gone;
short as the watch that ends the night
before the rising sun.
5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
will bear us all away;
we fade and vanish, as a dream
dies at the op'ning day.
6 Our God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
be thou our guard while troubles last,
and our eternal home. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:7-8 Used With Tune: ST ANNE

Of the Father's Love Begotten
Author: John Mason Neale; Aurelius Clemens Prudentius Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 214 hymnals Topics: Advent 4 Year A; Advent 4 Year B Lyrics: 1 Of the Father's love begotten,
ere the worlds began to be,
Christ is Alpha and Omega,
Christ the source, the ending he,
of the things that are and have been,
and that future years shall see,
evermore and evermore.
2 At his word the worlds were framed.
He commanded, it was done:
heaven and earth and depths of ocean
in their threefold order one;
all that grows beneath the shining
of the moon and burning sun,
evermore and evermore.
3 O that birth for ever blessèd!
When the Virgin, full of grace,
by the Holy Ghost conceiving,
bare the Saviour of our race,
and the babe, the world's redeemer,
first revealed his sacred face,
evermore and evermore.
4 This is he whom seers in old time
chanted of with one accord,
whom the voices of the prophets
promised in their faithful word;
now he shines, the long-expected;
let creation praise its Lord,
evermore and evermore.
5 O ye heights of heaven, adore him;
angel hosts, his praises sing;
powers, dominions, bow before him,
and extol our God and King;
let no tongue on earth be silent,
every voice in concert ring,
evermore and evermore.
6 Christ, to thee with God most blessèd,
and, O Holy Ghost, to thee,
hymn and chant and high thanksgiving,
and unwearied praises be,
honour, glory, and dominion
and eternal victory,
evermore and evermore. Used With Tune: DIVINUM MYSTERIUM

Songs of praise the angels sang
Author: J. Montgomery (1771-1854) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 542 hymnals Topics: Advent 4 The Annunciation Lyrics: 1 Songs of praise the angels sang,
heaven with alleluias rang
when creation was begun;
when God spoke, and it was done.
2 Songs of praise announced the dawn
when the Prince of peace was born;
songs of praise arose when He
captive led captivity.
3 Heaven and earth must pass away —
songs of praise shall crown that day!
God will make new heavens and earth —
songs of praise shall hail their birth!
4 And must we alone be dumb
till that glorious kingdom come?
No! the church delights to raise
psalms and hymns and songs of praise.
5 Saints below, with heart and voice
still in songs of praise rejoice;
learning here by faith and love,
songs of praise to sing above.
6 Hymns of glory, songs of praise,
Father, these to you we raise;
Saviour, Jesus, risen Lord,
with the Spirit be adored. Used With Tune: NORTHAMPTON
