On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry

Author: Charles Coffin, 1676-1749; John Chandler, 1808-76 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #12 (1986) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Year Advent Lyrics: 1 ON Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry Announces that the Lord is nigh; Come then and hearken, for he brings Glad tidings of the King of kings. 2 Then cleansed be every Christian breast, And furnished for so great a guest! Yea, let us each our hearts prepare For Christ to come and enter there. 3 For thou art our salvation, Lord, Our refuge and our great reward; Without thy grace our souls must fade, And wither like a flower decayed. 4 Stretch forth thine hand to heal our sore, And make us rise, to fall no more; Once more upon thy people shine, And fill the world with love divine. 5 All praise, eternal Son, to thee Whose advent sets thy people free, Whom, with the Father, we adore, And Spirit blest, for evermore. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: WINCHESTER NEW

Prepare the way, O Zion!

Hymnal: Sunday School Book #13 (1903) Topics: Advent and Christmas Advent Lyrics: 1 Prepare the way, O Zion! Ye awful deeps, rise high, Sink low, ye towering mountains, The Lord is drawing nigh: The righteous King of glory, Foretold in sacred story. Oh, blest is He that came In God the Father's Name! 2 O Zion, He approacheth, Thy Lord and King for aye! Palm-branches strew with gladness Spread garments in His way. God's promise faileth never, Hosianna sound forever! Oh, blest is He that came In God the Father's Name! 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 with gladness. Oh, blest is He that came In God the Father's Name! 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, Oh, blest is He that came In God the Father's Name. 5 Give heed, thou sinful people, Thy King and Saviour own: The kingdom which He foundeth Is not an earthly one; No power can overthrow it, Nor earthly wisdom know it. Oh, blest is He that came In God the Father's Name! 6 The throne which He ascendeth Is fixed in heaven above: His sanctified dominion Is light alone and love. With grace and peace abounding His praise be ever sounding. Oh, blest is He that came In God the Father's Name! 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. Oh, blest is He that came In God the Father's Name!

There's a Voice in the Wilderness Crying

Author: James L. Milligan Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #13 (1993) Meter: Irregular Topics: Advent; Advent Lyrics: 1 There's a voice in the wilderness crying, A call from the ways untrod: Prepare in the desert a highway, A highway for our God! The valleys shall be exalted, The lofty hills brought low; Make straight all the crooked places Where the Lord our God may go! 2 O Christians, you bring good tidings; Get up to the heights and sing! Proclaim to a desolate people The coming of their King. Like the flow'rs of the field they perish; Like grass their works decay. The pow'r and pomp of nations Shall pass like a dream away; 3 But the Word of our God is eternal; The arm of the Lord is strong. He stands in the midst of the nations, And he shall right the wrong. He shall feed his flock like a shepherd, The lambs shall gently hold, To pastures of peace shall lead them, And bring them safe to his fold. Languages: English Tune Title: ASCENSION

Rejoice, all ye believers

Hymnal: Sunday School Book #14 (1903) Topics: Advent and Christmas Advent Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, all ye believers, And let your lights appear! The evening is advancing, The darker night is near, The Bridegroom is arising, And soon He draweth nigh. Up, pray, and watch, and wrestle,-- At midnight comes the cry. 2 The watchers on the mountain Proclaim the Bridegroom near; Go meet Him as He cometh, With hallelujahs clear. The marriage-feast is waiting, The gates wide-open stand: Up, up, ye heirs of glory. The Bridegroom is at hand! 3 Ye saints, who here in patience Your cross and sufferings bore, Shall live and reign for ever, When sorrow is no more. Around the throne of glory The Lamb ye shall behold, In triumph cast before Him Your diadems of gold! 4 Our Hope and Expectation, O Jesus, now appear; Arise, Thou Sun so longed for, O'er this benighted sphere! With hearts and hands uplifted; We plead, O Lord, to see The day of earth's redemption, That brings us unto Thee!

You are on earth most blest; you are most blest, most blessèd, God chose you, you are blest!” 3 But Mary was most troubled to hear the angel’s word. What was the angel saying? It troubled her to hear, to hear the angel’s message, it troubled her to hear. 4 “Fear not, for God is with you, and you shall bear a child. His name shall be called Jesus, God’s offspring from on high. And he shall reign forever, forever reign on high.” 5 “How shall this be?” said Mary, “that I should be with child.” The angel answered quickly, “The power of the Most High will come upon you shortly, your child shall be God’s child.” 6 As Mary heard the angel, she wondered at his words. “Behold, I am your handmaid,” she said unto her God. “So be it; I am ready according to your word.” Languages: English Tune Title: ANNUNCIATION

Lyrics: 1 Arise, O Christian people! Prepare yourselves today. Prepare to greet the Savior, Who takes your sins away. To us by grace alone The truth and light was given; The promised Lord from heaven To all the world is shown. 2 Prepare the way before him; Prepare for him the best. Cast out what would offend him, This great, this heav'nly guest. Make straight, make plain the way: The lowly valleys raising, The heights of pride abasing, His path all even lay. 3 The humble heart and lowly God raises up on high; Beneath his feet in terror The haughty soul shall lie. The heart sincere and right, That heeds God's invitation And makes true preparation -- It is the Lord's delight. 4 Prepare my heart, Lord Jesus; Turn not from me aside, And help me to receive you This blessed Adventtide. From stall and manger low Come now to dwell within me; I'll sing your praises gladly And forth your glory show. Languages: English Tune Title: AUS MEINES HERZENS GRUNDE
