Comfort, Comfort Ye My People
Author: Johannes Olearius; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 128 hymnals Topics: Christian Year-Advent Lyrics: 1 Comfort, comfort ye my people,
speak ye peace, thus saith our God;
comfort those who sit in darkness,
mourning 'neath their sorrows' load.
Speak ye to Jerusalem
of the peace that waits for them;
tell her that her sins I cover,
and her warfare now is over.
2 Hark, the voice of one that crieth
in the desert far and near,
bidding all to true repentance
since the kingdom now is here.
O that warning cry obey!
Now prepare for God a way;
let the valleys rise to meet Him,
and the hills bow down to greet Him.
3 Make ye straight what long was crooked,
make the rougher places plain;
let your hearts be true and humble,
as befits His holy reign.
For the glory of the Lord
now o'er earth is shed abroad;
and all flesh shall see the token
that His word is never broken. Scripture: Isaiah 40:1-5 Used With Tune: PSALM 42
Comfort, Comfort Ye My People
O God of Every Nation
Author: William W. Reid, Jr. Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: Christian Year Advent Lyrics: 1 O God of every nation,
Of every race and land,
Redeem the whole creation
With your almighty hand;
Where hate and fear divide us,
And bitter threats are hurled,
In love and mercy guide us
And heal our strife-torn world.
2 From search for wealth and power
And scorn of truth and right,
From trust in bombs that shower
Destruction through the night,
From pride of race and nation
And blindness to your way,
Deliver every nation,
Eternal God, we pray.
3 Lord, strengthen all who labor
That men may find release
From fear of rattling saber,
From dread of war's increase;
When hope and courage falter,
Your still small voice be heard;
With faith that none can alter,
Your servants undergird.
4 Keep bright in us the vision
Of days when war shall cease,
When hatred and division
Give way to love and peace,
Till dawns the morning glorious
When brotherhood shall reign,
And Christ shall rule victorious
O'er all the world's domain.
Amen. Scripture: Micah 4:1-4 Used With Tune: LLANGLOFFAN

Upon the world's dark hour!
Show us the way the Master trod;
Reveal his saving power.
2 Remove the veil of ancient words,
With message long obscure;
Restore to us your truth, O God,
And make its meaning sure.
3 Show us the prophets and the priests,
The kings, the common men,
Who kept the faith and walked with you;
O make them live again!
4 O let your Word be light anew
To every nation's life;
Unite us in your will, O Lord,
And end all sinful strife.
5 O may one Lord, one faith, one Word,
One Spirit lead us still;
And one great church go forth in might
To work God's perfect will.
Amen. Scripture: John 8:12 Used With Tune: ST. PETER

Thy rule, O Christ, begin;

The tyrannies of sin.

And purity and love?
When shall all hatred cease,
As in the realms above?
3 When comes the promised time
That war shall be no more,
And lust, oppression, crime,
Shall flee thy face before?
4 We pray thee Lord, arise,
And come in thy great might;
Revive our longing eyes,
Which languish for thy sight.

Jesus Comes with Clouds Descending
Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 781 hymnals Topics: Christian year--Advent Lyrics: 1 Jesus comes with clouds descending;
see the Lamb for sinners slain!
Thousand, thousand saints attending
join to sing the glad refrain:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Christ the Lord returns to reign!
2 Ev'ry eye shall then behold you
robed in awesome majesty;
those who jeered and mocked and sold you,
pierced and nailed you to the tree,
shamed and grieving, shamed and grieving,
shall their true Messiah see.
3 Yes, amen! Let all adore you
high on your eternal throne;
crowns and empires fall before you,
claim the kingdom for your own.
Come, Lord Jesus, come, Lord Jesus,
everlasting Christ, come down! Scripture: Zechariah 12:10 Used With Tune: UNSER HERRSCHER, UNSER KÖNIG

Come, Ye Thankful People, Come
Author: Henry Alford, 1810-1871 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 738 hymnals Topics: Christian Year Advent (Second Coming) Lyrics: 1 Come, ye thankful people, come-
Raise the song of harvest-home:
All is safely gathered in
Ere the winter storms begin.
God, our Maker, doth provide
For our wants to be supplied:
Come to God's own temple, come-
Raise the song of harvest-home.
2 All the world is God's own field,
Fruit unto His praise to yield:
Wheat and tares together sown,
Unto joy or sorrow grown.
First the blade and then the ear,
Then the full corn shall appear:
Lord of harvest, grant that we
Wholesome grain and pure may be.
3 For the Lord our God shall come
And shall take His harvest home:
From His field shall in that day
All offenses purge away-
Give His angels charge at last
In the fire the tares to cast,
But the fruitful ears to store
In His garner evermore.
4 Even so, Lord, quickly come
To Thy final harvest-home:
Gather Thou Thy people in,
Free from sorrow, free from sin;
There, forever purified,
In Thy presence to abide:
Come, with all Thine angels, come-
Raise the glorious harvest-home. Scripture: Psalm 67:6-7 Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE'S WINDSOR
Come, Ye Thankful People, Come
