Sweeter sounds than music knows

Author: John Newton Appears in 73 hymnals Topics: Advent, Third Sunday Lyrics: 1 Sweeter sounds than music knows, Charm me in Emmanuel's Name; All her hopes my spirit owes To His birth, and Cross, and shame. 2 When He came the angels sung, "Glory be to God on high:" Lord, unloose my stammering tongue; Who shall louder sing than I? 3 Did the Lord a man become, That He might the law fulfil, Bleed and suffer in my room, And canst thou, my tongue, be still? 4 No; I must my praises bring, Though they worthless are, and weak; For, should I refuse to sing, Sure the very stones would speak. 5 O my Saviour, Shield, and Sun, Shepherd, Brother, Lord, and Friend-- Every precious name in one! I will love Thee without end. Used With Tune: OLD 136TH PSALM

See the day of God appear. 4 Yea, Amen, let all adore Thee, High on Thine eternal throne; Savior, take the power and glory; Claim the kingdoms for Thine own: Hallelujah! Thou shalt reign, and Thou alone! Used With Tune: [Lo, He comes with clouds descending]

O Christ, our true and only Light

Author: Johann Heermann; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 95 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday of Advent Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our true and only Light, Illumine those who sit in night; Let those afar now hear Thy voice And in Thy fold with us rejoice. 2 Fill with the radiance of Thy grace The souls now lost in error's maze; And all whom in their secret minds Some dark delusion haunts and blinds. 3 And all who else have strayed from Thee, Oh gently seek! Thy healing be To every wounded conscience given, And let them share the peace of heaven. 4 O make the deaf to hear Thy Word, And help the dumb to speak, dear Lord, Who dare not yet the faith avow, Though secretly they hold it now. 5 Shine on the darkened and the cold; Recall those wandered from Thy fold. Unite all those who walk apart, Confirm the weak and doubting heart, 6 So they with us may evermore Such grace with wondering thanks adore And endless praise to Thee be given By all Thy Church in earth and heaven. Used With Tune: BRESLAU (Herr Jesu Christ, mein's Leben's Licht)

I know whom I believe in

Author: Ernst Moritz Arndt Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday of Advent Lyrics: 1 I know whom I believe in, I know what firm abides, When all around me fading Away like vapor glides. I know what lasts forever, When all things shake and fall, When wit the wise forsaketh, And craft doth craft forestall. 2 It is the Light of Glory; It is my Jesus, King; It is the Rock I stand on; It is of this I sing. He never more shall fail me, Deliv'rer, Shepherd mine, He lighteth all my darkness, He makes my path to shine. 3 He whom blood-stained they buried In the still twilight hour, He whom God waked from slumber, He who arose in power: He for my guilt atoneth, To me His Spirit gives, Me with His grace He crowneth: I live because He lives. 4 I know what I believe in, I know what standeth fast, And what, when earth shall crumble, Uncrumbled, still shall last; Through sorrow it bides with me, Mine when to death I bow, In heaven it will assure me A crown to deck my brow. Used With Tune: WEBB (Goodwin)

Lord, cause Thy face on us to shine

Author: Thomas Cotterill Appears in 23 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday of Advent Lyrics: 1 Lord, cause Thy face on us to shine, Give us Thy peace, and seal us Thine; Teach us to prize the means of grace, And love Thine earthly dwelling-place. 2 On is our faith, and one our Lord; One body, Spirit, hope, reward: May we in one communion be One with each other, one with Thee. 3 Bless all whose voice salvation brings, Who minister in holy things; Our pastors, elders, deacons, bless; Cloth them with zeal and righteousness: 4 Let many in the judgment day, Turned from the error of their way, Their hope, their joy, their crown appear:-- Save those who preach, and those who hear.
