As with Gladness Men of Old

Author: William Chatterton Dix Hymnal: HOoS1926 #60 (1926) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old Did the guiding star behold; As with joy they hailed its light, Leading onward, beaming bright: So, most gracious God, may we Evermore be led by Thee. 2 As with joyful steps they sped, To that lowly manger-bed, There to bend the knee before Him whom heaven and earth adore, So may we, with willing feet Ever seek Thy mercy-seat. 3 As they offered gifts most rare At that manger rude and bare, So may we, with holy joy, Pure, and free from sin's alloy, All our costliest treasures bring, Christ, to Thee, our heavenly King. 4 Holy Jesus, every day Keep us in the narrow way; And, when earthly things are past, Bring our ransomed souls at last Where they need no star to guide, Where no clouds Thy glory hide. 5 In the heavenly country bright Need they no created light; Thou its Light, its Joy, its Crown, Thou its Sun which goes not down; There forever may we sing Hallelujahs to our King. Amen. Topics: Church Year Epiphany; Epiphany; Names and Office of Christ King; Heaven Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12 Languages: English Tune Title: DIX

Return to that blest land From whence Thy Love hath caused Thee to come down. Reign at Thy Father's hand! Exalted Saviour, naught can sever Thee from the right to rule forever! Ascend, dear Lord!

Awake! the Watchman Crieth

Author: Frans Mikael Franzen; Augustus Nelson Hymnal: HOoS1926 #395 (1926) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Awake! the watchman crieth, On Zion's ramparts still! The Lord His grace supplieth, Repent, and heed His will. Life's journey fast is nearing The ever-lasting shore; The hour of death appearing, When time shall be no more. 2 Too late the sinners waken Where morn hath ceased to dawn; Where grace that was forsaken Is evermore withdrawn; Where's heard no praying sentence God's mercy to implore; For there is no repentance, When time shall be no more. 3 O souls who spurn salvation! See this eternity Of darkness, desolation, And constant agony. The torments none can banish, Nor aught can peace restore; And hope itself shall vanish, When time shall be no more! 4 Awake! the voice still soundeth; 'Tis now the accepted hour; The grace of God aboundeth To save from sin's dread power. Make haste, implore Christ's favor, Thy sins confess, and bow Before Thy Lord and Saviour; The accepted time is now. Amen.

Send preachers forth, in spirit strong, Armed with Thy Word, a dauntless host, Bold to attack the rule of wrong; Let them the earth for Thee reclaim, Thy heritage, to know Thy Name. 4 And let Thy Word have speedy course, Through every land be glorified, Till all the heathen know its force, And fill Thy churches far and wide; Wake Israel from her sleep, O Lord, And spread the conquests of Thy Word!

Amen.
