The Bridegroom Soon Will Call Us

Author: M. Loy; Johann Walther Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 21 hymnals Topics: Processionals and Recessionals Advent Lyrics: 1 The Bridegroom soon will call us: Come, as My guests appear. May slumbers not enthrall us When we His voice shall hear; May all our lamps be burning And oil be found in store, That we, with Him returning, May find an open door. 2 There shall we see delighted Our blest Redeemer's face, Who leads our souls benighted To glory by His grace; The patriarchs shall meet us, The prophets we shall stand; Apostles, martyrs, greet us In that celestial land. 3 They will not blush to own us As brothers, sisters dear; Love ever will be shown us When we with them appear; We all shall come before Him Who for us flesh became; As Lord and God adore Him And bless His holy name. 4 Our Father, rich in blessing, Will give us crowns of gold; And to His bosom pressing, Will grant us bliss untold; He welcomes with embraces His own in boundless love And decks us with His graces In blissful realms above. 5 In that fair home shall never Be hushed the singers' voice; With hearts and lips forever Shall we in God rejoice; The angels shall adore Him, All saints shall voice His praise And bring with joy before Him Their sweetest heavenly lays. 6 In mansions fair and spacious Will God the feast prepare And, ever kind and gracious, Bid us His riches share; There bliss that knows no measure From springs of love shall flow, And never-changing pleasure His bounty will bestow. Amen. Used With Tune: EVARTS

Ye Christians, Sing A Joyful Lay

Author: H. Brueckner; Nicolas Hermann Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Processionals and Recessionals Christmas Lyrics: 1 Ye Christians, sing a joyful lay To God, the Holy One, Who heaven's door flings wide today And sends to earth His Son, And sends to earth His Son. 2 He leaves the Father's throne on high, Is born an infant small, Doth in a lowly manger lie, Is sheltered in a stall, Is sheltered in a stall. 3 His royal pow'r He lays aside, Becomes like mortal man, And here below doth He abide Who laid creation's plan, Who laid creation's plan. 4 He is the heir of David's throne, And yet God's only Son, By whose unbounded grace alone The kingdom must be won, The kingdom must be won. 5 He serve, that He may set me free And well supply my need; What more could Jesus do for me? He is my help indeed, He is my help indeed. 6 Again He opens wide the door To blissful Paradise; The cherub guards the gate no more, O let your praises rise! Used With Tune: LÜTZEN

The dawn and noon-day glory fade Into the setting sun. A stranger and a pilgrim here, With falt'ring feet I roam; Lord, let Thy glory light the way That leads me to my home. 3 By faith I see the better land, Where falls no earthly night, Where Thou dost shine, a radiant Sun, The Everlasting Light. Then help me, Lord, to walk with Thee, And keep me Thine alway, That from my sleep I may awake Unto the perfect day. Amen. Used With Tune: CECILE

From perils sore it shieldeth Thy trembling soul indeed; At last it rends the azure sky, The earth thy body yieldeth To join thy soul on high. 3 The crown of life is given To thee who faithful art, Who earnestly hast striven To serve with trusting heart. God moveth thee thy voice to raise, And sendeth thee from heaven Sweet tunes, His name to praise. 4 With voices sweetly ringing, We therefore bless His hand, To Christ our tribute bringing With heaven's joyful band.

Christians, Rise, Put On Your Armor

Author: J. C. Aaberg; H. A. Brorson; J. Falkner Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Processionals and Recessionals General Lyrics: 1 Christians, rise, put on your armor; Men of Christ, assume your part. Satan, still the crafty charmer, Trains his host in all his art. As your sword Use God's Word, Hell is battling 'gainst the Lord. 2 Follow Christ, your great Commander, Lean upon His mighty arm; Satan, armed with guile and slander, Aims to do you naught but harm. Have no fear Christ is near, He as victor shall appear. 3 With the cross of Christ to lead you, Press ye onward in the strife. He who by the cross has freed you Fills the faintest heart with life, For each wound Balm is found In the joy of victors crowned. 4 Many hearts are filled with yearning And have yet no solace found. Men to God but partly turning Find that fear and woes abound. God will bless When the flesh By His Spirit we suppress. 5 Crowns are won by true endeavor, As all saints have testified. They have overcome forever, Strengthened by the Lamb that died. Likewise we Cannot be From the Christian's trials free. 6 Though our flesh to dust be turning, If our souls in God remain, On a glorious Easter morning Day for us shall break again. Easter day Holding sway, Death must yield its mighty prey. 7 Then the host of Christ shall gather At His throne a ransomed throng, Offering thanks to God, the Father, And to Christ salvation's song. Every tongue Shall this song Through eternity prolong. Amen. Used With Tune: NEANDER
