Comfort, comfort ye my people

Author: Miss Cath. Winkworth; John Olearius (Oelschlaeger) Meter: 8.7.7.8 Appears in 128 hymnals Topics: Advent, Third Sunday Lyrics: 1 Comfort, comfort now my people, Speak ye peace, thus saith our God; Comfort those who sit in darkness, Mourning 'neath their sorrows’ load; Speak ye to Jerusalem Of the peace that waits for them; Tell her that her sins I cover, And her warfare now is over. 2 For the Herald’s voice is crying In the desert far and near, Bidding all men to repentance, Since the kingdom now is here. O that warning cry obey! Now prepare for God a way! Let the valleys rise to meet Him, And the hills bow down to greet Him. 3 Make ye straight what long was crooked, Make the rougher places plain: Let your hearts be true and humble, As befits His holy reign; For the glory of the Lord Now o'er earth is shed abroad, And all flesh shall see the token, That His word is never broken.

Name at which must every knee Bow in deep humility. 2 Jesus! Name of priceless worth To the fallen sons of earth, For the promise that it gave-- "Jesus shall His people save." 3 Jesus! Name of mercy mild, Given to the holy Child. When the cup of human woe First He tasted here below. 4 Jesus! Only Name that's given Under all the mighty heaven, Whereby man, to sin enslaved, Burst his fetters, and is saved. 5 Jesus! Name of wondrous Love! Human Name of Him above! Pleading only this we flee, Helpless, 0 our God, to Thee. Used With Tune: ROSEFIELD

To those who fall, how kind Thou art, How good to those who seek! 4 But what to those who find? ah, this Nor tongue nor pen can show; The Love of Jesus, what it is, None but His loved ones know. 5 Jesus, our only Joy be Thou! As Thou our Prize wilt be; Jesus, be Thou our Glory now, And through eternity! Used With Tune: REDHEAD, 66

Hvo vil med til Himmerige?

Author: Brorson Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday in Advent Lyrics: 1 Hvo vil med til Himmerige? Kommer, Jesus raaber nu, Kommer Fattige og Rige, Vender Hjerte, Sind og Hu Fra den arme Verden bort! Tiden er herefter kort, Her er mere at bestille End med Verdens Lyst at spille. 2 Har I drevet eders Dage Hen i Synd og Sikkerhed, Hvad vil det for Ende tage? Det gaar jo til Helved ned. Vender om, og søger Raad I en Hjertens Bedrings-Graad! Søger udi saadan Smerte Jesus ret af ganske Hjerte! 3 Dermed vandrer andeledes End den store Verdens Flok! Her skal kjæmpes, her skal bedes, Sagen er jo vigtig nok; Hver en Lyst skal gribes fat, Som sig fast hos dig har sat, At den aldrig, aldrig mere Over Sjælen skal regjere. 4 Jesu Fodspor er alene Vei til Himlens Herlighed, Og hvo dette ei vil mene, Han af Gudsfrygt intet veed, Al hans Kunst og Visdoms Vei, Al hans Gjerning duer ei; Vil man Vei til Himlen vide, Da maa Verden først til Side. 5 Du maa vride dig og vende Her saa længe som du vil, Syndens Lyst maa have Ende, Ellers er Guds Naade spildt. Siger du, du veed det grant, Hvo der kunde kun saa sandt! Hen til Gud, om Kraft at bede, Han til Hjælpen straks er rede. 6 Kjender du, at det er nødigt Ret at bruge Naadens Tid, Og dog agter overflødigt Nu at bruge al din Flid, Saa er det Bevis kun paa, At du ei for Satan maa; Vil du da din Fiende lyde, Og det evigt hart fortryde? 7 Op, I Kristne, ser dog eder Ret i denne Verden for! Vaager, sukker, banker, leder Efter Jesu rette Spor! Gaar i denne Verden frem, Som det ret kan sømme dem, Der hvert Øieblik med Glæde Færdig staar for Dom at træde! 8 Op, I Kristne, samler Kræfter, Fatter Mod i Barm og Bryst, Ret at følge Jesus efter, Ret at følge ham med Lyst! Holder eder til ham nær, Faar ham altid mere kjær, Elsker trolig eders Næste, Søger alt hverandres Bedste! 9 Kjender eders store Vaade I en grundig Ydmyghed! I vor Herres Jesu Naade Sænker eder ganske ned! Lægger uophørlig Vind Paa at have Jesu Sind, Hvad han gjorde, gjører efter! Han skal give Mod og Kræfter. 10 Er det ikke Tid at vandre? Evigheden er os nær; Beder! stræver med hverandre At formane hver især! Hid, I Store, hid I Smaa! Tager Jesu Kors kun paa! Følger alle, ingen svige, Hvo der vil til Himmerige!

Author: George Weissel; Miss Winkworth Meter: 8.8.6 Appears in 280 hymnals Topics: Advent, Third Sunday Lyrics: 1 Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates! Behold, the King of glory waits; The King of kings is drawing near, The Saviour of the world is here; Life and salvation He doth bring, Wherefore rejoice, and gladly sing: We praise Thee, Father, now, Creator, wise art Thou! 2 The Lord is just, a Helper tried, Mercy is ever at His side; His kingly crown is holiness, His sceptre, pity in distress, The end of all our woe He brings; Wherefore the earth is glad and sings: We praise Thee, Saviour, now, Mighty in deed are Thou! 3 O blest the land, the city blest, Where Christ the Ruler is confest! O happy hearts and happy homes To whom this King in triumph comes! The cloudless Sun of joy He is, Who bringeth pure delight and bliss: O Comforter Divine, What boundless grace is Thine! PART II 4 Fling wide the portals of your heart; make it a temple, set apart from earthly use for heaven's employ, adorned with prayer, and love, and joy; So shall your Sovereign enter in, And new and nobler life begin: To Thee, O God, be praise, For word and deed and grace! 5 Redeemer, come! I open wide My heart to Thee; here, Lord, abide! Let me Thy inner presence feel, Thy grace and love in me reveal; Thy Holy Spirit guide us on, Until our glorious goal be won! Eternal praise and fame We offer to Thy Name. Used With Tune: MACHT HOCH DIE THÜR

Let all within me join, And aid my tongue to bless His Name Whose favors are divine. 2 'Tis He forgives thy sins; 'Tis He relieves thy pain; 'Tis He that heals thy sicknesses, And gives thee strength again. 3 He crowns thy life with love, When rescued from the grave; He, that redeemed my souls from death, Hath boundless power to save. 4 He fills the poor with good, He gives the suff'rers rest; The Lord hath justice for the proud, And mercy for th'oppressed. 5 His wondrous works and ways He made by Moses known; But sent the world His truth and grace By His beloved Son. 6 O bless the Lord, my soul! Nor let this mercies lie Forgotten in unthankfulness, And without praises die. Used With Tune: MORNINGTON

How beauteous are their feet

Author: Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 715 hymnals Topics: Advent, Third Sunday Lyrics: 1 How beauteous are their feet, Who stand on Zion's hill! Who bring salvation on their tongues, And words of peace reveal. 2 How charming is their voice! How sweet the tidings are! "Zion, behold thy Saviour King; He reigns and triumphs here." 3 How happy are our ears, That hear this joyful sound, Which kings and prophets waited for, And sought, but never found! 4 How blessed are our eyes That see this heavenly light! Prophets and saints desired it long, But died without the sight. 5 The watchmen join their voice, And tuneful notes employ; Jerusalem breaks forth in songs, And deserts learn the joy. 6 The Lord makes bare His arm Through all the earth abroad; Let all the nations now behold Their Saviour and their God. Used With Tune: MOUNT EPHRAIM
