Hear, the midnight bells are chiming the signal for his royal coming: let voice to voice announce his name! We feel his footsteps near, the Bridegroom at the door — Alleluia! The lamps will shine with light divine as Christ the saviour comes to reign. 2 Zion hears the sound of singing; her heart is thrilled with sudden longing; she stirs, and wakes, and stands prepared. Christ her friend, and lord, and lover, her star and sun and strong redeemer — at last his mighty voice is heard. The Son of God has come To make with us his home: sing Hosanna! The fight is won, the feast begun; we fix our eyes on Christ alone. 3 Glory, glory, sing the angels, while music sounds from strings and cymbals; all humankind, with songs arise! Twelve the gates into the city, each one a pearl of shining beauty; the streets of gold ring out with praise. All creatures round the throne adore the holy One with rejoicing: Amen be sung by every tongue to crown their welcome to the King. Languages: English Tune Title: SLEEPERS, WAKE

God who comes for such as these seeks and saves the fearful: now the deaf can hear the dumb sing away their weeping; blind eyes see the injured come walking, running, leaping. 4 There God's highway shall be seen where no roaring lion, nothing evil or unclean walks the road to Zion: ransomed people homeward bound, all your praises voicing, see your Lord with glory crowned, share in his rejoicing!

When the Lord in glory comes

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (born 1926) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #201 (1987) Topics: Advent 1 The Advent Hope Lyrics: 1 When the Lord in glory comes not the trumpets, not the drums, not the anthem, not the psalm, not the thunder, not the calm, not the shout the heavens raise, not the chorus, not the praise, not the silences sublime, not the sounds of space and time, but his voice when he appears shall be music to my ears; but his voice when he appears shall be music to my ears. 2 When the Lord is seen again not the glories of his reign, not the lightnings through the storm, not the radiance of his form, not his pomp and power alone, not the splendours of his throne, not his robe and diadems, not the gold and not the gems, but his face upon my sight shall be darkness into light; but his face upon my sight shall be darkness into light. 3 When the Lord to human eyes shall bestride our narrow skies, not the child of humble birth, not the carpenter of earth, not the man by all denied, not the victim crucified, but the God who died to save, but the victor of the grave, he it is to whom I fall, Jesus Christ, my all in all; he it is to whom I fall, Jesus Christ, my all in all.
