Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah
Author: William Williams; Peter Williams; John Williams Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 1,833 hymnals Topics: Christian Year Advent Lyrics: 1 Guide me, O thou great Jehovah,
Pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but thou art mighty;
Hold me with thy powerful hand;
Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven,
Feed me till I want no more,
Feed me till I want no more.
2 Open now the crystal fountain,
Whence the healing stream doth flow;
Let the fire and cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through;
Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer,
Be thou still my strength and shield,
Be Thou still my strength and shield.
3 When I tread the verge of Jordan,
Bid my anxious fears subside;
Death of deaths, and hell's Destruction,
Land me safe on Canaan's side;
Songs of praises, songs of praises
I will ever give to thee,
I will ever give to thee.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 104 Used With Tune: CWM RHONDDA

O Word of God Incarnate
Author: William Walsham How Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 487 hymnals Topics: Christian Year Advent Lyrics: 1 O Word of God Incarnate,
O Wisdom from on high,
O Truth unchanged, unchanging,
O Light of our dark sky,
We praise you for the radiance
That from the hallowed page,
A lantern to our footsteps,
Shines on from age to age.
2 The Church from her dear Master
Received the gift divine,
And still that light is lifted
O'er all the earth to shine.
It is the chest so precious,
Where gems of truth are stored;
It is the heaven-drawn picture
Of Christ, the living Word.
3 It floats e'er like a banner
Before God's host unfurled;
It shines out like a beacon
Above the darkening world.
It is the chart and compass
That o'er life's surging sea,
'Mid mists and rocks and quicksands,
Still guides to Christ who saves.
4 O make your Church, dear Savior,
A lamp of purest gold,
To bear before the nations
Your true light, as of old.
O teach your wandering pilgrims
By this their path to trace,
Till, clouds and darkness ended,
They see you face to face.
Amen. Scripture: 1 Peter 1:23-25 Used With Tune: MUNICH
O Word of God Incarnate
Praise We Our Maker While We've Breath
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8 D Appears in 528 hymnals Topics: Christian Year Advent Lyrics: 1 Praise we our Maker while we've breath;
And when our voice is lost in death,
Praise shall employ our nobler powers.
Our days of praise shall ne'er be past
While life, and thought, and being last,
Or immortality endures.
2 The Lord gives vision to the blind;
The Lord supports the fainting mind;
He sends the laboring conscience peace.
He helps the stranger in distress,
The widow and the fatherless,
And grants the prisoner sweet release.
3 Blest is the man whose hopes rely
On Israel's God, who made the sky
And earth and seas, with all their train.
His truth forever stands secure;
He saves th'oppressed and feeds the poor,
And none shall find his promise vain.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 146 Used With Tune: OLD 113TH

Ye servants of the Lord

Each for your Master wait,
Observant of his heavenly word,
And watchful at his gate.

And trim the golden flame;
Gird up your loins, as in his sight,
For aweful is his name.
3 Watch! 'tis your Lord's command,
And while we speak, he's near;
Mark the first signal of his hand,
And ready all appear.
4 O happy servant he,
In such a posture found!
He shall his Lord with rapture see,
And be with honour crowned.
5 Christ shall the banquet spread
With his own royal hand,
And raise that faithful servant's head
Amidst the angelic band. Used With Tune: NARENZA

Come, Ye Thankful People, Come
Author: Henry Alford, 1810-1871 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 731 hymnals Topics: Christian Year Advent (Second Coming) Lyrics: 1 Come, ye thankful people, come-
Raise the song of harvest-home:
All is safely gathered in
Ere the winter storms begin.
God, our Maker, doth provide
For our wants to be supplied:
Come to God's own temple, come-
Raise the song of harvest-home.
2 All the world is God's own field,
Fruit unto His praise to yield:
Wheat and tares together sown,
Unto joy or sorrow grown.
First the blade and then the ear,
Then the full corn shall appear:
Lord of harvest, grant that we
Wholesome grain and pure may be.
3 For the Lord our God shall come
And shall take His harvest home:
From His field shall in that day
All offenses purge away-
Give His angels charge at last
In the fire the tares to cast,
But the fruitful ears to store
In His garner evermore.
4 Even so, Lord, quickly come
To Thy final harvest-home:
Gather Thou Thy people in,
Free from sorrow, free from sin;
There, forever purified,
In Thy presence to abide:
Come, with all Thine angels, come-
Raise the glorious harvest-home. Scripture: Psalm 67:6-7 Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE'S WINDSOR
