The Advent of Our God
Author: John Chandler, 1806-1876; Charles Coffin, 1676-1749 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 54 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The advent of our God
Shall be our theme for prayer;
Come, let us meet him on the road
And place for him prepare.
2 The everlasting Son
Incarnate stoops to be,
Himself the servant's form puts on
To set his people free.
3 Come, Zion's daughter, rise
To meet your lowly king,
Nor let your faithless heart despise
The peace he comes to bring.
4 As judge, on clouds of light,
He soon will come again,
And all his scattered saints unite
With him on high to reign.
5 Before the dawning day
Let sin be put to flight;
No longer let the law hold sway,
But walk in freedom's light.
6 All glory to the Son,
Who comes to set us free,
With Father, Spirit, ever one
Through all eternity. Topics: Advent; Advent Used With Tune: FRANCONIA
The Advent of Our God
Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life
Author: Frank M. North, 1850-1935 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 370 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life,
Where sound the cries of race and clan,
Above the noise of selfish strife,
We hear your voice, O Son of Man.
2 In haunts of wretchedness and need,
On shadowed thresholds dark with fears,
From paths where hide the lures of greed,
We catch the vision of your tears.
3 From tender childhood's helplessness,
From human grief and burdened toil,
From famished souls, from sorrow's stress,
Your heart has never known recoil.
4 The cup of water giv'n for you
Still holds the freshness of your grace;
Yet long these multitudes to view
The strong compassion in your face.
5 O Master, from the mountainside
Make haste to heal these hearts of pain;
Among these restless throngs abide;
Oh, tread the city's streets again;
6 Till all the world shall learn your love,
And follow where your feet have trod;
Till glorious from your heaven above,
Shall come the city of our God. Topics: Society; City; Love; Society Used With Tune: WALTON

Infant Holy, Infant Lowly
Author: Edith M. G. Reed, 1885-1933 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 95 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Infant holy, infant lowly,
For his bed a cattle stall;
Oxen lowing, little knowing
Christ the child is Lord of all.
Swiftly winging, angels singing,
Bells are ringing, tidings bringing:
Christ the child is Lord of all!
Christ the child is Lord of all!
2 Flocks were sleeping, shepherds keeping
Vigil till the morning new
Saw the glory, heard the story,
Tidings of a Gospel true.
Thus rejoicing, free from sorrow,
Praises voicing, greet the morrow:
Christ the child was born for you!
Christ the child was born for you! Topics: Christmas; Christmas Used With Tune: W ZLOBIE LEZY Text Sources: Polish carol; Kingsway Carol Book

Lord, Teach Us How to Pray Aright
Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 222 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, teach us how to pray aright,
With rev'rence and with fear.
Though dust and ashes in your sight,
We may, we must draw near.
2 We perish if we cease from prayer;
Oh, grant us pow'r to pray.
And when to meet you we prepare,
Lord, meet us on our way.
3 Give deep humility; the sense
Of godly sorrow give;
A strong, desire, with confidence,
To hear your voice and live;
4 Faith in the only sacrifice
That can for sin atone;
To cast our hopes, to fix our eyes
On Christ, on Christ alone.
5 Give these, and then your will be done;
Thus strengthened with all might,
We, through your Spirit and your Son,
Shall pray, and pray aright. Topics: Society; Easter 7 (Year A); Pentecost 10 (Year C); Pentecost 23; Humility; Prayer Used With Tune: SONG 67

We Give Thee but Thine Own
Author: William W. How, 1823-1897 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 489 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We give thee but thine own,
Whate'er the gift may be;
All that we have is thine alone,
A trust, O Lord, from thee.
2 May we thy bounties thus
As stewards true receive,
And gladly, as thou blessest us,
To thee our first-fruits give.
3 Hearts still are bruised and dead,
And homes are bare and cold,
And lambs for whom the Shepherd bled
Are straying from the fold.
4 To comfort and to bless,
To find a balm for woe,
To tend those lost in loneliness,
Is angels' work below.
5 The captive to release,
The lost to God to bring,
To teach the way of life and peace -
It is a Christlike thing.
6 And we believe thy word,
Though dim our faith may be:
Whate'er we do for thine, O Lord,
We do it unto thee. Topics: Stewardship; Service; Stewardship Used With Tune: HEATH
We Give Thee but Thine Own

"Hell today is vanquished, heav’n is won today!"
Christ, once dead, is living, God forevermore!
Him, their true creator, all his works adore!
"Welcome, happy morning!" age to age shall say.
2 Maker and Redeemer, life and health of all,
God from heav'n beholding human nature’s fall,
You, the true and only Son of God above,
Died as mortal man to save us by your love.
"Welcome, happy morning!" age to age shall say.
3 Source of all things living, you came down to die,
Plumbed the depths of hell to raise us upon high.
Come then, true and faithful; come, fulfill your word;
This is your third morning: Rise, O buried Lord!
"Welcome, happy morning!" age to age shall say.
4 Free the souls long prisoned, bound with Satan’s chain;
All that once had fallen raise to life again;
Show your face in brightness, shine in every land
As in Eden's garden when the world began.
"Welcome, happy morning!" age to age shall say.

As a child and heir of heaven.

Heart and life renewing truly,
Born of water and the Spirit,
And my kingdom thus inherit."

In our arms this infant bearing;
Lord, to us your glory show;
Let this child, your mercy sharing,
In your arms be shielded ever,
Yours on earth and yours forever.

Shepherd, take your lamb and feed it;
Prince of Peace, make here your throne;
Way of Life, to heaven lead it;
Precious vine, let nothing sever
From your side this branch forever.

Prayers that from our hearts proceeded.
Our petitions heav'nward soar;
May our fond desires be heeded!
Write the name we now have given;
Write it in the book of heaven! Topics: Holy Baptism; Holy Baptism; Worship Used With Tune: LIEBSTER JESU, WIR SIND HIER
