Wake, O wake! With tidings thrilling
Author: Philipp Nicolai, 1556-1608; F. C. Burkitt, 1864-1935 Hymnal: Common Praise #39 (2000) Meter: 8.9.8.8.9.8.6.6.4.8.8 Topics: Advent I Year A; Advent I Year C Lyrics: 1 Wake, O wake! With tidings thrilling
the watchmen all the air are filling,
arise, Jerusalem, arise!
Midnight strikes! No more delaying,
'The hour has come!' we hear them saying,
'where are ye all, ye virgins wise?
The Bridegroom comes in sight,
raise high your torches bright!'
Alleluia!
The wedding song swells loud and strong:
go forth and join the festal throng.
2 Zion hears the watchmen shouting,
her heart leaps up with joy undoubting,
she stands and waits with eager eyes;
see her Friend from heaven descending,
adorned with truth and grace unending!
Her light burns clear, her star doth rise.
Now come, thou precious Crown,
Lord Jesus, God's own Son!
Alleluia!
Let us prepare to follow there,
where in thy supper we may share.
3 Every soul in thee rejoices;
from earth and from angelic voices
be glory given to thee alone!
Now the gates of pearl receive us,
thy presence never more shall leave us,
we stand with angels round thy throne.
Earth cannot give below
the bliss thou dost bestow.
Alleluia!
Grant us to raise, to length of days,
the triumph-chorus of thy praise. Scripture: Isaiah 52:10 Languages: English Tune Title: WACHET AUF

When the Lord in Glory Comes
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Hymnal: Worship (4th ed.) #863 (2011) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 D Topics: Advent I C Lyrics: 1 When the Lord in glory comes
Not the trumpets, not the drums,
Not the anthem, not the psalm,
Not the thunder, not the calm,
Not the shout the heavens raise,
Not the chorus, not the praise,
Not the silences sublime,
Not the sounds of space and time,
But his voice when he appears
Shall be music to my ears;
But his voice when he appears
Shall be music to my ears.
2 When the Lord is seen again
Not the glories of his reign,
Not the lightnings through the storm,
Not the radiance of his form,
Not his pomp and pow'r alone,
Not the splendors of his throne,
Not his robe and diadems,
Not the gold and not the gems,
But his face upon my sight
Shall be darkness into light;
But his face upon my sight
Shall be darkness into light.
3 When the Lord to human eyes
Shall bestride our narrow skies,
Not the child of humble birth,
Not the carpenter of earth,
Not the man by all denied,
Not the victim crucified,
But the God who died to save,
But the victor of the grave,
He it is to whom I fall,
Jesus Christ, my All in all;
He it is to whom I fall,
Jesus Christ, my All in all. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. JOHN'S
