Wake, O Wake, and Sleep No Longer

Author: Philipp Nicolai, 1556-1608; Christopher Idle, b. 1938 Meter: 8.9.8.8.9.8.6.6.4.4.4.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Wake, O wake, and sleep no longer, For he who calls you is no stranger; Awake, God's own Jerusalem! Hear, the midnight bells are chiming The signal for his royal coming: Let voice to voice announce his name! We feel his footsteps near, The Bridegroom at the door-- Alleluia! The lamps will shine With light divine As Christ the savior comes to reign. 2 Zion hears the sound of singing; Our hearts are thrilled with sudden longing; She stirs, and wakes, and stands prepared. Christ, her friend, and lord, and lover, Her star and sun and strong redeemer-- At last his mighty voice is heart. The Son of God has come To make with us his home: Sing Hosanna! The fight is won, The feast begun; We fix our eyes on Christ alone. 3 Glory, glory, sing the angels, While music sounds from strings and cymbals; All humankind, with songs arise! Twelve the gates into the city, Each one a pearl of shining beauty; The streets of gold ring out with praise. All creatures round the throne Adore the holy One With rejoicing: Amen be sung By ev'ry tongue To crown their welcome to the King.

Rise! To Arms! With Prayer Employ You

Author: Wilhelm Erasmus Arends, 1677-1721; John M. Sloan, 1835-after 1890 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rise! To arms! With prayer employ you, O Christians, lest the foe destroy you; For Satan has designed your fall. Wield God’s word, the weapon glorious; Against all foes be thus victorious, For God protects you from them all. Fear not the hordes of hell, Here is Emmanuel. Hail the Savior! The strong foes yield To Christ, our shield, And we, the victors, hold the field. 2 Cast afar this world’s vain pleasure And boldly strive for heav'nly treasure. Be steadfast in the Savior’s might. Trust the Lord, who stands beside you, For Jesus from all harm will hide you. By faith you conquer in the fight. Take courage, weary soul! Look forward to the goal! Joy awaits you. The race well run, Your long war won, Your crown shines splendid as the sun. 3 Wisely fight, for time is fleeting; The hours of grace are fast retreating; Short, short is this our earthly way. When the Lord the dead will waken And sinners all by fear are shaken, The saints with joy will greet that day. Praise God, our triumph’s sure. We need not long endure Scorn and trial. Our Savior King His own will bring To that great glory which we sing. Topics: The Church Militant Scripture: Ephesians 6:10-18 Used With Tune: WACHET AUF

Holy Majesty, Before Thee

Kjellstrand Meter: 8.9.8.8.9.8.6.6.4.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Holy Majesty, before Thee We bow to worship and adore Thee; With grateful hearts to Thee we sing. Earth and heaven tell the story Of Thine eternal might and glory, And all Thy works their incense bring. Lo, hosts of Cherubim And countless Seraphim Sing, Hosanna, Holy is God, almighty God, All-merciful and all-wise God! 2 God of light, exalted, holy! Thy tender care protects the lowly, Nor leaves Thy children to their fate. Gracious art Thou, God our Father, Thy chosen people Thou dost gather Within Thine arms compassionate. Thou gavest us Thy Son, Thro' whom Thy grace is won, And Thy Spirit Dwelleth within to cleanse from sin Whom thine own Son hath died to win. 3 Choirs of faithful voices name Thee, And all Thy chosen seed proclaim Thee, Most holy, holy, holy Lord. Hear Thy ransomed children praying That we may do Thy will, ne'er straying Away from Thee, nor from Thy Word. Vouchsafe to us Thy love, Thy wisdom from above; Grant us, Father, That in its light we walk aright In holiness as in Thy sight. 4 Bless and keep, O Lord, Thy creatures, Reveal to us Thy gracious features, O turn to us Thy face with peace. Here our songs we humbly tender Till glorified our tongues shall render To Thee our praise without surcease, Where hosts of Cherubim And countless Seraphim Sing, Hosanna, Holy is God, almighty God, All-merciful and all-wise God! Amen. Topics: Worship Prayer and Praise; Advent, Second Sunday; Epiphany, Second Sunday; Trinity Sunday; A Day of Thanksgiving or a Harvest Festival; Thanksgiving Used With Tune: WACHET AUF
