Blessed Be the God of Israel

Author: Michael Perry Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #135 (1995) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Christian Year: Advent Lyrics: 1 Blessed the God of Israel, who comes to set us free, who visits and redeems us and grants us liberty. The prophets spoke of mercy, of freedom and release; God shall fulfill the promise to bring our people peace. 2 Now from the house of David a child of grace has come, a Savior who will lead us to our eternal home. Before him goes the herald, forerunner in the way, the prophet of salvation, the harbinger of day. On all by death imprisoned the sun begins to rise, the dawning of forgiveness upon the sinner's eyes, to guide the feet of pilgrims along the paths of peace; O bless our God and Savior with songs that never cease!

R Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who has come to set the chosen people free. God has raised up for us a mighty Savior from the house of David. Through the holy prophets, God promised of old to save us from our enemies, from the hands of all who hate us; to show mercy to our forebears, and to remember the holy covenant. This was the oath God swore to our ancestor Abraham, to set us free from the hands of our enemies, free to worship without fear, holy and righteous in God's sight, all the days of our life. R And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way, to give God's people knowledge of salvation by the forgiveness of their sins. In the tender compassion of our God the dawn from on high shall break upon us, to shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, and to guide our feet into the way of peace.

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #140 (1995) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Christian Year: Advent Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Lord's Anointed, great David's greater Son! Hail, in the time appointed, his reign on earth begun! He comes to break oppression, to set the captive free, to take away transgressions, and rule in equity. 2 He comes with justice speedy to those who suffer wrong, to help the poor and needy, and bid the weak be strong, to give them songs for sighing, their darkness turn to light, whose souls, condemned and dying, are precious in his sight. 3 He shall come down like showers upon the fruitful earth; love, joy, and hope, like flowers, spring in his path to birth. Before him, on the mountains, shall peace, the herald, go, and righteousness, in fountains, from hill to valley flow. 5 To him shall prayer unceasing and daily vows ascend, his kingdom still increasing, a kingdom without end. The tide of time shall never his covenant remove. His name shall stand for ever; that name to us is Love. Scripture: Psalm 72 Languages: English Tune Title: SHEFFIELD

God is working his purpose out as year succeeds to year

Author: A. C. Ainger, 1841-1919 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #495 (1986) Meter: Irregular Topics: The Christian Year Advent Lyrics: 1 God is working his purpose out as year succeeds to year, God is working his purpose out and the time is drawing near; Nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be, When the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. 2 From utmost east to utmost west where'er man's foot hath trod, By the mouth of many messengers goes forth the voice of God, 'Give ear to me, ye continents, ye isles, give ear to me, That the earth may be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea.' 3 What can we do to work God's work, to prosper and increase The brotherhood of all mankind, the reign of the Prince of Peace? What can we do to hasten the time, the time that shall surely be, When the earth shall be filled with the lory of God as the waters cover the sea? 4 March we forth in the strength of God with the banner of Christ unfurled, That the light of the glorious gospel of truth may shine throughout the world; Fight we the fight with sorrow and sin, to set their captives free, That the earth may be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. 5 All we can do is nothing worth unless God blesses the deed; Vainly we hope for the harvest-tide till God gives life to the seed; Yet nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be, When the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea.

To a Maid Whose Name Was Mary

Author: Gracia Grindal Hymnal: Voices United #14 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6 Topics: Christian Year Advent Lyrics: 1 To a maid whose name was Mary, the angel Gabriel came. “Fear not” the angel told her, “I come to bring good news; good news I come to tell you, good news, I say, good news." 2 “For you are highly favoured by the God the Lord of all, who even now is with you. 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
