Lo, in the wilderness a voice

Author: Percy Dearmer, 1867-1936 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lo, in the wilderness a voice 'make straight the way' is crying: when men are turning from the light, and hope and love seem dying, the prophet comes to make us clean: 'there standeth one you have not seen, Whose voice you are denying.' 2 God give us grace to hearken now to those who come to warn us, give sight and strength, that we may kill the vices that have torn us, lest love professed should disappear in creeds of hate, contempt, and fear, that crush and overturn us. 3 When from the vineyard cruel men cast out the heavenly powers and Christendom denies its Lord, the world in ruin cowers. Now come, O God, in thy great might! Unchanged, unchanging is thy right, unswayed thy justice towers.

So dearly loved, we shall not fear; there's nothing that can hurt us.

Smeby, 1851-1929 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Holy Ghost, Thou gift divine, And giver of all blessing, Thou, with the Father and the Son, True God-head art possessing, And from them both art shed abroad, Eternal Spirit, Lord and God, In Thee all Christians glory. 2 O Spirit blest, we Thee entreat: O grant us that we ever With heart and soul, as it is meet, May serve our Lord and Savior, And Him confess till our last breath, As Lord of life and Lord of death And give Him praise and honor. 3 Our hearts let new-created be, Our walk make pure and holy. Help us offense and sin to flee, And ever serve God solely, So that our faith in Christ, our Lord, May prove itself in deed and word Before the world about us. 4 Thy gracious heav'nly dew let fall, The fainting Church to quicken; Thy soothing ointment pour on all Whose souls are sad and stricken. Sustain us, Lord, in evil days, And let our lives in all our ways Abound in love and mercy. 5 Give strength and courage to contend Against the hosts of evil, That we may vanquish, in the end, The world, the flesh, the devil; And when death's billow o'er us rolls, Bear Thou to heav'n our ransomed souls While dust to dust returneth.
