Morn awakes, behold the glory
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics:
Morn awakes, behold the glory
From the hill-tops spread abroad,
Telling still the ancient story
Of the faithfulness of God.
9
Soul, bestir! the path before thee
Leads toward the realm of night;
Heed the voices that implore thee,--
Walk, the while ye have the light.
Haste! the daylight may forsake thee
Ere thou reach thy journey's goal;
Lest the solemn night o'ertake thee,
Up! the shining hours control.
Do the task that waits thy doing;
Let the will of God be thine;
Ever what is right pursuing,
Till the day to night decline.
Christ, Thou Sun that knows no setting,
In my soul in beauty shine;
Then, the dread of night forgetting,
I shall live in light divine.
Morn awakes, behold the glory
Jesus, Thou Art Mine Forever
Author: Matthias Loy Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thou art mine forever,
Dearer far than earth to me;
Neither life nor death shall sever
Those sweet ties which bind to Thee.
2 All were drear to me and lonely
If Thy presence gladdened not;
While I sing to Thee, Thee only,
Mine’s an ever blissful lot.
3 Thou alone art all my Treasure,
Who hast died that I may live;
Thou conferrest noblest pleasure,
Who dost all my sins forgive.
4 Brightest gems and fairest flowers
Lose their beauty in Thy frown;
Joy and peace, like balmy showers,
In Thy smile come gently down.
5 Jesus, Thou art mine forever;
Never suffer me to stray.
Let me in my weakness never
Cast my priceless pearl away.
6 Lamb of God, I do implore Thee,
Guard, support me, lest I fall.
Let me evermore adore Thee;
Be my everlasting All.
Amen. Topics: The Redeemer Scripture: Psalm 73:24 Used With Tune: STUTTGART

Mercy, O Thou Son of David
Alas, My God, My Sins Are Great
Author: Johann Major; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 21 hymnals First Line: Alas! my God! my sins are great Lyrics: 1. Alas! my God! my sins are great,
My conscience doth upbraid me;
And now I find that at my strait
No man hath power to aid me.
2. And fled I hence, in my despair,
In some lone spot to hide me,
My griefs would still be with me there,
Thy hand still hold and guide me.
3. Nay, Thee I seek—I merit naught,
Yet pity and restore me;
Be not Thy wrath, just God, my lot,
Thy Son hath suffered for me.
4. If pain and woe must follow sin,
Then be my path still rougher,
Here spare me not; if Heaven I win,
On earth I gladly suffer.
5. But curb my heart, forgive my guilt,
Make Thou my patience firmer,
For they must miss the good Thou wilt,
Who at Thy teachings murmur.
6. Then deal with me as seems Thee best,
Thy grace will help me bear it,
If but at last I see Thy rest,
And with my Savior share it. Used With Tune: ACH GOTT UND HERR Text Sources: Chorale Book for England (London: Longman, Green, Longman, Roberts and Green, 1863), number 107.

He Is Coming
Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: He is coming, and the tidings Lyrics: 1 He is coming, and the tidings
Now are rolling wide and far,
As the light flows out in gladness,
From yon bright and morning-star.
2 He is coming, hear the tidings
Sweep throughout the willing air,
With the hope that ends forever
Time’s dark ages of despair.
3 See the earth from dreams and slumber
Rouse itself to say, Amen;
Land and ocean bid Him welcome,
Flood and forest join the strain.
4 He is coming, and the mountains
Of Judea ring again;
See Jerusalem awaken,
Rise and shout her glad Amen.
5 He is coming; wastes of Horeb,
Now awaken and rejoice!
Hills of Moab, cliffs of Edom,
Lift thy too long silent voice!
6 He is coming, sea of Sodom,
Come to heal thy leprous brine,
To return thy palm and myrtle,
All the fruits and joyous vine.
7 He is coming, blighted Carmel,
To restore thy olive bowers;
He is coming, faded Sharon,
To give back thee all thy flowers.
8 Sons of Gentile-trodden Judah,
Waken and behold: He comes!
Long so landless, kingless exiles,
Go and seek your long lost homes.
9 Back to deep and ancient valleys
Which your fathers loved so well,
In their now long crumbled cities
Let their children’s children dwell.
10 Drain the last drop of the wormwood
From your nation’s bitter cup;
’Tis the bitterest, but the latest:
Now make haste and drink it up.
11 For He comes, thy true Messiah,
Thine anointed royal king;
See Him come, in love and glory:
For thee endless joy He brings.
12 He, thy mighty king, is coming,
Putting end to woes and wrongs;
Giving joy in place of mourning,
Turning all thy sighs to songs.
13 Now are dried the tears of ages:
Now you wear, as once of old,
Heav’nly diadem of beauty,
Precious crown of purest gold.
14 He has lifted thee from sadness,
Set thee on the highest throne,
As Messiah’s chosen nation,
Blessèd, best belovèd one.
15 Wipe the stain and dust of exile
From thy worn and weary feet;
Come with songs of glorious triumph,
Come thy Savior now to greet. Used With Tune: ADORATION Text Sources: Hymns of Faith and Hope 2nd series (London, James Nisbet, 1861)

Author: Prudentius (348-c. 413); Edward Caswall (1814-1878) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 51 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Bethlehem, a noble city,
has been blessed beyond compare,
for the gracious God of heaven
once became incarnate there.
2 Fairer than the sun at morning
was the star that told his birth,
to the world its God announcing,
seen in human form on earth.
3 From the east came men of wisdom
bringing treasures prized of old,
tributes to a greater wisdom,
gifts of incense, myrrh, and gold.
4 Sacred gifts of mystic meaning:
incense shows that God has come,
gold proclaims him king of nations,
myrrh foretells his saving tomb.
5 Holy Jesus, in your brightness
to the gentile world displayed,
with the Father and the Spirit
endless praise to you be paid. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Christmas and Epiphany; Christian Year Season of Epiphany Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12 Used With Tune: STUTTGART
