breaking the kingdom of death.

from the death of the winter arising,
every good gift of the year
now with its Saviour returns. [Refrain]

worship the maker of all. [Refrain]

the author of life and creation;
treading the pathway of death,
life now bestowing on all. [Refrain]

let your word be assured to the doubting:
light on the third day returns;
rise, Son of God, from the tomb! [Refrain]

flinging its increase of light. [Refrain]

order our days in your peace. [Refrain]

on those who await his appearing,
he whom the Lord foretold
suddenly, swiftly descends: [Refrain]

with sevenfold mystical offering,
pouring on all human souls
infinite riches of God. [Refrain]
3 Hark! for in myriad tongues
Christ's own, his chosen apostles,
preach to the ends of the earth
Christ and his wonderful works. [Refrain]

all praise to the fount of our being,
light that now lightens all,
life that in all now abides. [Refrain]

tell of peace!" so says our God.

Tell them that their war is over;
God will reign in peace forever!
2 For the herald's voice is crying
in the desert far and near,
calling all to true repentance,
since the Kingdom now is here.
Oh, that warning cry obey!
Now prepare for God a way!
Let the valleys rise to meet him,
and the hills bow down to greet him!
3 Straight shall be what long was crooked,
and the rougher places plain!
Let your hearts be true and humble,
as befits his holy reign!
For the glory of the Lord
now on earth is shed abroad,
and all flesh shall see the token
that God's word is never broken. Scripture: Isaiah 40:1 Used With Tune: GENEVAN 42

They have builded him an altar in the evening dews and damps;
I can read his righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps;
His day is marching on. [Refrain]

He is sifting out the hearts of men before his judgment seat;
O be swift, my soul, to answer him; be jubilant my feet!
Our God is marching on. [Refrain]

With a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me;
As he died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,

He makes me down to lie
In pastures green; He leadeth me
The quiet waters by.

And me to walk doth make
Within the paths of righteousness,
E'en for his own name's sake.
3 Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale,
Yet will I fear none ill;
For thou art with me; and thy rod
And staff me comfort still.
4 My table thou hast furnished
In presence of my foes;
My head thou dost with oil anoint,
And my cup overflows.
5 Goodness and mercy all my life
Shall surely follow me;
And in God's house forevermore
My dwelling place shall be.
