Author: Charles Coffin (1676-1749); John Chandler (1806-1876) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 229 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 60:1 Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry
announces that the Lord is nigh;
awake and hearken for he brings
glad tidings of the King of kings.
2 Then cleansed be every heart from sin;
make straight the way for God within;
prepare we in our hearts a home,
where such a mighty Guest may come.
3 For you are our salvation, Lord,
our refuge and our great reward;
without your grace we waste away,
like flowers that wither and decay.
4 Stretch out your hand, to heal our sore,
and make us rise to fall no more;
once more upon your people shine,
and fill the world with love divine.
5 All praise to you, eternal Son,
whose advent has our freedom won,
whom with the Father we adore,
and Holy Spirit, evermore. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Public Ministry; Christian Year Lent; Christian Year Season of Epiphany; Jesus baptism Used With Tune: WINCHESTER NEW (CRASSELIUS)

Rise, crowned with light, great Salem, rise!
Author: Pope Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 220 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 60 Lyrics: 1 Rise, crowned with light, great Salem, rise!
Exalt thine head and lift thine eyes;
See a long race thy courts adorn,
Of sons and daughters yet unborn.
2 See nations at thy gates attend,
And lowly in thy temple bend;
See crowds on every side arise,
Eager to mount above the skies.
3 See heaven its portals wide display,
And pour on thee a flood of day!
Thy day shall shine forever bright,
For God himself shall be thy light.
4 What though the skies in smoke decay,
Rocks fall, and mountains melt away!
Fixed in his word, his power remains:
Thy glorious King, Messiah, reigns!

Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness
Author: John Samuel Bewley Monsell (1811-1875) Meter: 12.10.12.10 Appears in 143 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 60:6 Lyrics: 1 Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness;
bow down before him, His glory proclaim;
gold of obedience and incense of lowliness
bring, and adore him; the Lord is his Name!
2 Low at his feet lay thy burden of carefulness;
high on his heart he will bear it for thee,
comfort thy sorrows, and answer thy prayerfulness,
guiding thy steps as may best for thee be.
3 Fear not to enter his courts, in the slenderness
of the poor wealth thou canst reckon as thine;
truth in its beauty and love in its tenderness,
these are the offerings to lay on His shrine.
4 These, though we bring them in trembling and fearfulness,
he will accept for the Name that is dear,
mornings of joy give for evenings of tearfulness,
trust for our trembling, and hope for our fear.
5 Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness;
bow down before him, His glory proclaim;
gold of obedience and incense of lowliness
bring, and adore him; the Lord is his Name! Topics: Our Response to God in the worship of God's house; Our Response to Christ In Dedication; Adoration Of God; Beauty; Offering of gifts; Offering of self Used With Tune: MOREDUN

Author: Thomas Hastings Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 452 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 60:1-3 Lyrics: 1 Hail to the brightness of Zion's glad morning!
Joy to the lands that in darkness have lain!
Hushed be the accents of sorrow and mourning;
Zion in triumph begins her mild reign.

Long by the prophets of Israel foretold!
Hail to the millions from bondage returning!
Gentiles and Jews the blest vision behold.
3 Lo, in the desert rich flowers are springing,
streams ever copious are gliding along;
loud from the mountain-tops echoes are ringing,
wastes rise in verdure and mingle in song.
4 See, from all lands, from the isles of the ocean,
praise to Jehovah ascending on high;
fall'n are the engines of war and commotion,
shouts of salvation are rending the sky.

following yonder star.

O star of wonder, star of night,
star with royal beauty bright,
westward leading, still proceeding,
guide us to thy perfect light!
2 Born a King on Bethlehem’s plain,
gold I bring to crown him again,
King forever, ceasing never
over us all to reign. [Refrain]

incense owns a deity nigh;
prayer and praising gladly raising,
worshiping God Most High. [Refrain]

breathes a life of gathering gloom;
sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying,
sealed in the stone-cold tomb. [Refrain]

King and God and Sacrifice:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
sounds through the earth and skies. [Refrain]

Wake, Awake, for Night is Flying
Author: Philipp Nicolai; Catherine Winkworth Meter: Irregular Appears in 215 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 60:1 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, you maidens! Night is past.
The bridegroom comes! Awake;
your lamps with gladness take!"
Alleluia!
Prepare yourselves to meet the Lord,
whose light has stirred the waiting guard.
2 Zion hears the watchmen singing,
and in her heart new joy is springing.
She wakes, she rises from her gloom,
for her Lord comes down all-glorious,
and strong in grace, in truth victorious.
Her star is risen; her light is come.
O, come, you Blessed One,
Lord Jesus, God's own Son.
Sing hosanna!
We go until the halls we view
where you have bid us dine with you.
3 Now let all the heavens adore you,
and saints and angels sing before you.
The harps and cymbals all unite.
Of one pearl each shining portal,
where, dwelling with the choir immortal,
we gather round your dazzling light.
No eye has seen, no ear has yet been trained
to hear what joy is ours!
Crescendos rise; your halls resound;
hosannas blend in cosmic sound.
