O Word of God Incarnate
Author: William Walsham How Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 496 hymnals Topics: Christian Year Advent Lyrics: 1 O Word of God Incarnate,
O Wisdom from on high,
O Truth unchanged, unchanging,
O Light of our dark sky,
We praise you for the radiance
That from the hallowed page,
A lantern to our footsteps,
Shines on from age to age.
2 The Church from her dear Master
Received the gift divine,
And still that light is lifted
O'er all the earth to shine.
It is the chest so precious,
Where gems of truth are stored;
It is the heaven-drawn picture
Of Christ, the living Word.
3 It floats e'er like a banner
Before God's host unfurled;
It shines out like a beacon
Above the darkening world.
It is the chart and compass
That o'er life's surging sea,
'Mid mists and rocks and quicksands,
Still guides to Christ who saves.
4 O make your Church, dear Savior,
A lamp of purest gold,
To bear before the nations
Your true light, as of old.
O teach your wandering pilgrims
By this their path to trace,
Till, clouds and darkness ended,
They see you face to face.
Amen. Scripture: 1 Peter 1:23-25 Used With Tune: MUNICH
O Word of God Incarnate
Praise We Our Maker While We've Breath
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8 D Appears in 530 hymnals Topics: Christian Year Advent Lyrics: 1 Praise we our Maker while we've breath;
And when our voice is lost in death,
Praise shall employ our nobler powers.
Our days of praise shall ne'er be past
While life, and thought, and being last,
Or immortality endures.
2 The Lord gives vision to the blind;
The Lord supports the fainting mind;
He sends the laboring conscience peace.
He helps the stranger in distress,
The widow and the fatherless,
And grants the prisoner sweet release.
3 Blest is the man whose hopes rely
On Israel's God, who made the sky
And earth and seas, with all their train.
His truth forever stands secure;
He saves th'oppressed and feeds the poor,
And none shall find his promise vain.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 146 Used With Tune: OLD 113TH

Ye servants of the Lord
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-51 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 460 hymnals Topics: The Christian Year Advent Lyrics: 1 Ye servants of the Lord
Each for your Master wait,
Observant of his heavenly word,
And watchful at his gate.
2 Let all your lamps be bright,
And trim the golden flame;
Gird up your loins, as in his sight,
For aweful is his name.
3 Watch! 'tis your Lord's command,
And while we speak, he's near;
Mark the first signal of his hand,
And ready all appear.
4 O happy servant he,
In such a posture found!
He shall his Lord with rapture see,
And be with honour crowned.
5 Christ shall the banquet spread
With his own royal hand,
And raise that faithful servant's head
Amidst the angelic band. Used With Tune: NARENZA
