Midnight’s solemn hour is tolling, and seraph-notes are onward rolling; they call on us our part to take. Come forth, ye virgins wise: the Bridegroom comes, arise! Alleluia! Each lamp be bright with ready light to grace the marriage feast tonight. 2 Zion hears the voice that singeth with sudden joy her glad heart springeth, at once she wakes, she stands arrayed: her Light is come, her Star ascending, lo, girt with truth, with mercy blending, her Bridegroom there, so long delayed. All hail! God’s glorious Son, All hail! Our joy and crown, Alleluia! The joyful call we answer all, and follow to the bridal hall. 3 Praise to him who goes before us! Let men and angels join in chorus, let harp and cymbal add their sound. Twelve the gates, a pearl each portal we haste to join the choir immortal within the Holy City’s bound. Ear ne’er heard aught like this, nor heart conceived such bliss. Alleluia! We raise the song, we swell the throng, to praise thee ages all along.

When shall all hatred cease, as in the realms above? 3 When comes the promised time that war shall be no more, and lust, oppression, crime shall flee thy face before? 4 We pray thee, Lord, arise, and come in thy great might; revive our longing eyes, which languish for thy sight. 5 Men scorn thy sacred name, and wolves devour thy fold; by many deeds of shame we learn that love grows cold. 6 O'er heathen lands afar thick darkness broodeth yet: arise, O morning star, arise, and never set!

When the King shall come again

Author: Christopher Idle, 1938- Hymnal: CPWI2010 #56 (2010) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 When the King shall come again all his power revealing, splendour shall announce his reign, life and joy and healing: earth no longer in decay, hope no more frustrated; this is God's redemption day longingly awaited. 2 In the desert trees take root fresh from his creation; plants and flowers and sweetest fruit join the celebration; rivers spring up from the earth, barren lands adorning; valleys, this is your new birth, mountains, greet the morning! 3 Strengthen feeble hands and knees, fainting hearts, be cheerful! God who comes for such as these, seeks and saves the fearful; deaf ears, hear the silent tongues sing away their weeping; blind eyes, see the lifeless ones walking, running, leaping. 4 There God's highway shall be seen where no roaring lion, nothing evil or unclean Walks the road to Zion: ransomed people, homeward bound, all your praises voicing, see your Lord with glory crowned. Share in his rejoicing! Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Advent Languages: English Tune Title: GAUDEAMUS PARITER
