Prepare the Way, O Zion!

Author: Franz Mikael Franzèn; Augustus Nelson Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #1 (1926) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.6.6 Topics: Advent, First Sunday Refrain First Line: O blest is He that came Lyrics: 1 Prepare the way, O Zion! Ye awful deeps, rise high; Sink low, ye tow'ring mountains, The Lord is drawing nigh; The righteous King of glory, Foretold in sacred story. Refrain: O blest is He that came In God the Father’s Name. 2 O Zion, He approacheth, Thy Lord and King for aye! Strew palms where He advanceth, Spread garments in His way. God’s promise faileth never, Hosanna sound forever! [Refrain] 3 Fling wide thy portals, Zion, And hail thy glorious King; His tidings of salvation To every people bring, Who, waiting yet in sadness, Would sing His praise in gladness. [Refrain] 4 He cometh not with warriors, And not with pomp and show, Yet smiteth He with terror Sin, death, and every foe. The Spirit’s sword He wieldeth, Not e’en to death He yieldeth. [Refrain] 5 Give heed, thou sinful people, Thy King and Saviour own; The kingdom He hath founded Is not an earthly one; No power can overthrow it, Nor earthly wisdom know it. [Refrain] 6 The throne which He ascendeth Is fixed in heaven above: His sanctified dominion Is light alone and love. His praise be ever sounding For grace and peace abounding. [Refrain] 7 Jerusalem is fallen, And closed its temple-door; Its sacrifices ended; Its scepter is no more. Christ’s kingdom never ceaseth, Its glory still increaseth. [Refrain] Amen.

Could we O Saviour worthy be!

Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #VIII (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: First Sunday in Advent Lyrics: 1 Could we O Saviour worthy be! Thou Sovereign, Lord and King-- As to receive and wellcome thee. Who dost salvation bring. 2 All nations for thy coming wait And wish to know thee near; Let Zion open every gate, Till thou O King, appear! 3 Thy Zion streweth forth her Palms To ornament thy way; And we will worship thee with Psalms, And humbly sing and pray. 4 Our souls are nourish'd by thy grace, To praise thee is our theme; Our hearts are fill'd with thankfullness, We bless and praise thy name. 5 How great has thy compassion been, Thou Saviour of mankind-- When all the world lay dead in sin And no relief could find; 6 Then did'st thou, mighty Saviour come, To set us pris'ners free! To ransome us, to take us home, To be and dwell with thee. 7 We praise thee, O thou mighty one, Thy mercies we adore; To thee, O Saviour, thee alone! Be praise for ever more. Languages: English

We are by the Apostle taught

Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #IX (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: First Sunday in Advent For the Epistle; First Sunday in Advent Lyrics: 1 We are by the Apostle taught, And in his doctrine see, How carefull every christian ought In all their lives to be. 2 The Gospel brings the truth to sight, And spreads a bright display! And ignorance like, as the night, Thereby is drove away. 3 This blessed light to us is shown, O may it shine within, To make our state by nature known, And feel the weight of sin. 4 Yet sure Salvation thro' the blood Of Jesus we obtain! And thus restor'd unto our God, And made his own again. 5 Then, O ye christians pray be wise; Exert your inmost pow'r-- Strive from the sleep of sin to rise, Awake and sleep no more. 6 The night is past and fully spent, Let works of darkness cease: The blessed light that Jesus sent Creates establish'd peace.

I'll praise my Maker whilst I've breath

Author: Watts Hymnal: Church Book #2 (1890) Topics: Worship Praise and Thanksgiving; Advent, Third Sunday; First Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 I'll praise my Maker whilst I've breath; And when my voice is lost in death, Praise shall employ my nobler powers: My days of praise shall ne'er be past, While life and thought and being last, Or immortality endures. 2 Happy the man whose hopes rely On Israel's God, who made the sky, And earth, and seas, with all their train; His truth for ever stands secure; He saves the opprest, He feeds the poor; And none shall find His promise vain. 3 The Lord gives eyesight to the blind; The Lord supports the fainting mind; He sends the laboring conscience peace; He helps the stranger in distress, The widowed and the fatherless, And grants the prisoner sweet release. 4 I'll praise Him while He lends me breath; And when my voice is lost in death, Praise shall employ my nobler powers: My days of praise shall ne'er be past, While life and thought and being last, Or immortality endures.

Light of Light, enlighten me

Author: Benjamin Schmolck; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #5 (1908) Topics: First Sunday of Advent Lyrics: 1 Light of Light, enlighten me, Now anew the day is dawning; Sun of grace, the shadows flee, Brighten Thou my Sunday morning; With Thy joyous sunshine blest Happy is my day of rest. 2 Fount of all my joy and peace, To Thy living waters lead me; Thou from earth my soul release, And with grace and mercy feed me; Bless Thy Word that it may prove Rich in fruits of faith and love. 3 Kindle Thou the sacrifice That upon my lips is lying; Clear the shadows from mine eyes, That, from every error flying, No strange fire may in me glow That Thine altar doth not know. 4 Let me with my heart to-day, Holy, Holy, Holy, singing, Wrapt awhile from earth away, All my soul to Thee upspringing, Have a foretaste inly given How they worship Thee in heaven. 5 Rest in me and I in Thee, Build a paradise within me; O reveal Thyself to me, Blessed Love, who diedst to win me; Fed from Thine exhaustless urn, Pure and bright my lamp shall burn. 6 Hence all care, all vanity! For the day to God is holy; Come, Thou glorious Majesty, Deign to fill this temple lowly; Nothing else my soul shall move, Simply resting in Thy love.

Al Verden sander det og veed, At du er End af Evighed. 2 Al Engles Hob og Himlens Hær, Lov, Tak og Pris for Thronen bær, Og Sangen af Serafer gaar Saa langt, som himlens Hvælving naar: 3 "Du hellig, hellig, hellig er, Gud Zebaot, vor Herre kjær, Og fund er Himlen al og Jord Udaf din Guddoms Ære stor!" 4 Profeter og Apostle glad Og dine Vidner, Rad paa Rad, De staa for dig i Livsens Sal Med Takkefang i Tusindtal. 5 Din Kirstenhed paa denne Jord Bekjender dig og paa dig tror Som Faderen af Evighed, Hvis Magt ei Maal og Ende veed. 6 Og Sønnen, den erbaarne, som Fra dig til Verdens Frelse kom, Samt Heligaand, vor Trøster sand, Høilovet over alle land. 7 O Kriste, Ærens Konge prud, Du er Guds Søn og evig Gud, Stor Kjærlighed dig til os drog, Du os at frelse Manddom tog. 8 Den haarde Dødens Braad du brød Og vandt os Livet ved din Dod. Dig binder ikke Dødens Baand, Du sidder hos Guds høire Haand. 9 Gjenkommer med Guds Vælde stor, At holde Dommedag paa Jord. Thi hjælp os nu, vær deres Trøst, Som du saa dyre har forløst! 10 Reed os et Rum i himmerig Blandt dem, som samlet er hos dig! Dit Folk til Hjælp, o Kristus, kom, Velsign din Arv og Ejendom! 11 Opløft os, led os, vis os Vei, Til evig Tid forlad os ei! Vi flokkes glade i din Favn, Hver Dag velsigne vi dit Navn. 12 Tag os, trofaste Gud, i Agt, Lad ingen Synd i os faa Magt! O vær os naadig, Herre Gud, Vær naadig alt til Enden ud! 13 Gud være os miskundelig, Som vi og haabet har paa dig! Vi tror derpaa og trøstes ved, Vi rokkes ei i Evighed. Languages: Norwegian

Vaagn op, min Sjæl, thi Stunden er

Hymnal: Psalmebog, udgiven af Synoden for den norske evangelisk-lutherske Kirke i Amerika (2nd ed.) #52 (1890) Topics: First Sunday in Advent Evening Lyrics: 1 Vaagn op, min Sjæl! thi Stunden er Af Søvn og Slum at stande, Og Salighedens Tid er nær At glæde vore Lande. Vor Sorrigs Nat Er gangen plat, Vi skal nu snart befinde, Fra Davids Stol Retvisheds Sol, Vor Jesum, at oprinde. 2 Kast derfor af din Synde-Ham, Og Mørkets sule Klæde, At Jesus, Guds uskyldig Lam, I dig kan have Glæde! Gak frem og staa Med Vaaden paa, Som Lysets Barn kan sømme; Lad Utugt gaa Af Hjertets Vraa, Hold Kiv og Had i Tømme! 3 Ifør mig, Gud, og klæd mig saa, At hver kan se og kjende, Jeg har min Jesum ganske paa Indtil mit Levnets Ende! Bort Kjøds Begjær! Min Jesus er Udi mit Kjød i Vente; Gid jeg ham ind I Sjæl og Sind Med Bøn og Bod kan hente! Languages: Norwegian
