Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 749 hymnals Scripture: Mark 13:24-27 Lyrics: 1 Come, thou long-expected Jesus,
born to set thy people free;
from our fears and sins release us,
let us find our rest in thee:
Israel’s strength and consolation,
hope of all the earth thou art;
dear desire of ev’ry nation,
joy of ev’ry longing heart.
2 Come, thou universal Savior;
come, redeem the human race.
Life and joy spring from thy favor;
cheer each soul in need of grace.
Still we wait for thine appearing—
make our senseless struggles cease.
Guide us from our weary wand’ring
into paths of perfect peace.
3 Born thy people to deliver,
born a child, and yet a king;
born to reign in us forever,
now thy gracious kingdom bring.
By thine own eternal Spirit,
rule in all our hearts alone.
By thine all-sufficient merit,
raise us to thy glorious throne. Topics: Hope; Joy; Liberation; Reign of Christ Used With Tune: HYFRYDOL Text Sources: Hymns for the Nativity of Our Lord, 1744; stanza 2 adapt. from “Light of Those Whose Dreary Dwelling” in the same collection

O Jesus, I Have Promised
Author: John E. Bode Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 622 hymnals Scripture: Mark 13:13 Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, I have promised
to serve you to the end;
be now and ever near me,
my master and my friend.
I shall not fear the battle
if you are by my side,
nor wander from the pathway
if you will be my guide.
2 O let me feel you near me;
the world is ever near:
I see the sights that dazzle,
the tempting sounds I hear.
My foes are ever near me,
around me and within;
but, Jesus, draw still nearer
and shield my soul from sin!
3 O let me hear you speaking
in accents clear and still,
above the storms of passion,
the murmurs of self-will.
O speak to reassure me,
to hasten or control;
and speak to make me listen,
O guardian of my soul.
4 O Jesus, you have promised
to all who follow you
that where you are in glory
your servants shall be too.
And, Jesus, I have promised
to serve you to the end;
O give me grace to follow,
my master and my friend. Topics: Invitation and Response; Assurance; Christ--Invitation of; Christian warfare; Covenant; Discipleship; Following Christ; Invitation and Response; Invitation and Response; Ordination; Temptation of believers; Trust and Confidence Used With Tune: ANGEL'S STORY

O Wisdom from on high,
O Truth unchanged, unchanging,
O Light of our dark sky:
we praise you for the radiance
that from the hallowed page,
a lantern to our footsteps,
shines on from age to age.

received this gift divine;
and still that light is lifted
on all the earth to shine.
It is the chart and compass
that, all life’s voyage through,
amid the rocks and quicksands
still guides, O Christ, to you.

a lamp of purest gold
to bear before the nations
your true light, as of old;
O teach your wandering pilgrims
by this our path to trace,
till, clouds and storms thus ended,
we see you face to face. Topics: The Church; Incarnation; Scripture; The Word Used With Tune: MUNICH

let thy voice call me home, saying, 'Yet there is room,
there is room at my side for thee:' [Refrain] Topics: Proper 8 Year C Used With Tune: MARGARET
