Wake, awake, for night is flying

Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1829-78; Philipp Nicolai, 1556 - 1608 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #7a (1958) Lyrics: 1 Wake, awake, for night is flying, The watchmen on the heights are crying, Awake, Jerusalem, at last! Midnight hears the welcome voices And at the thrilling cry rejoices: Come forth, ye virgins, night is past! The Bridegroom comes, awake, Your lamps with gladness take; Allelujah! And for his marriage feast prepare, For ye must go to meet him there. A-men. 2 Zion hears the watchmen singing, And all her heart with joy is springing, She wakes, she rises from her gloom; For her Lord comes down all-glorious, The strong in grace, in truth victorious, Her Star is risen, her Light is come. Ah come, thou blessèd One, God's own belovèd Son, Alleluia! We follow till the halls we see Where thou hast bid us sup with thee. 3 Now let all the heavens adore thee, And men and angels sing before thee, With harp and cymbal's clearest tone; Of one pearl each shining portal, Where we are with the choir immortal Of angels round thy dazzling throne; Nor eye hath seen, nor ear Hath yet attained to hear What there is ours; But we rejoice, and sing to thee Our hymn of joy eternally. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Advent Languages: English Tune Title: WACHET AUF

Wide open are thy hands

Author: Charles Porterfield Krauth, 1823 - 83; St. Bernard of Clairvaux, 1091 - 1153 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #66 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Wide open are thy hands, Paying with more than gold The awful debt of guilty men, Forever and of old. Ah, let me grasp those hands, That we may never part, And let the power of their blood Sustain my fainting heart. 2 Wide open are thine arms, A fallen world to embrace; To take to love and endless rest Our whole forsaken race. Lord, I am sad and poor, But boundless is thy grace; Give me the soul-transforming joy For which I seek thy face. 3 Draw all my mind and heart Up to thy throne on high, And let thy sacred Cross exalt My spirit to the sky. To these, thy mighty hands, My spirit I resign; Living, I live alone to thee, Dying, alone am thine. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Lent Languages: English Tune Title: LEOMINSTER

Where cross the crowded ways of life

Author: Frank Mason North, 1850 - 1935 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #351 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life, Where sound the cries of race and clan, Above the noise of selfish strife, We hear thy voice, O Son of Man. 2 In haunts of wretchedness and need, On shadowed thresholds dark with fears, From paths where hide the lures of greed, We catch the vision of thy tears. A-men. 3 From tender childhood's helplessness, From woman's grief, man's burdened toil, From famished souls, from sorrow's stress, Thy heart has never known recoil. 4 The cup of water given for thee Stills holds the freshness of thy grace; Yet long these multitudes to see The sweet compassion of thy face. 5 O Master, from the mountain side, Make haste to heal these hearts of pain; Among these restless throngs abide, O tread the city's streets again; 6 Till sons of men shall learn thy love, And follow where thy feet have trod; Till glorious from thy heaven above, Shall come the city of our God. Amen. Topics: The Propagation of the Gospel; Church Life and Work City, Nation, World Languages: English Tune Title: WALTON (GERMANY)

When I survey the wondrous Cross

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #503a (1958) Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous Cross On which the Prince of Glory died, My richest gain I count but loss And pour contempt on all my pride. 2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast Save in the death of Christ, my God; All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to his Blood. 3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down; Did e’er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown? 4 Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a present far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all. Amen.
