Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D with refrain Appears in 1,326 hymnals Scripture: Habakkuk 1:12 Lyrics: 1 Hark! The herald angels sing,
“Glory to the newborn king.
Peace on earth and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled!”

join the triumph of the skies;
with the angelic host proclaim,
“Christ is born in Bethlehem!”
Refrain:
Hark! The herald angels sing,
“Glory to the newborn king!”
2 Christ, by highest heaven adored,
Christ. the everlasting Lord,
late in time behold him come,
offspring of the virgin’s womb.
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
hail the incarnate deity,
pleased in flesh with us to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel. [Refrain]
3 Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the sun of righteousness!
Light and life to all he brings,
risen with healing in his wings.
Mild he lays his glory by,
born that we no more may die,
born to raise us from the earth,
born to give us second birth. [Refrain]

great winds thy clarions, lightnings thy sword:
show forth thy pity on high where thou reignest:

meekness and mercy, and slighted thy word;
bid not thy wrath in its terrors awaken;
give to us peace in our time, O Lord.

yet to eternity standeth thy word;
falsehood and wrong shall not tarry beside thee;
give to us peace in our time, O Lord.

earth shall to freedom and truth be restored;
through the thick darkness thy Kingdom is hastening;
thou wilt give peace in thy time, O Lord.

praise him who saved them from peril and sword,
singing in chorus, from ocean to ocean,
peace to the nations, and praise to the Lord. Topics: The Church Celebrates National Life; Our Response to God in intercession and petition; God in judgement and justice; Kingdom of God; Nation and Society; Peace; Remembrance Sunday; Word of God Used With Tune: RUSSIA

The church's one foundation
Author: S. J. Stone, 1839-1900 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 859 hymnals Scripture: Habakkuk 1:2 Lyrics: 1 The church's one foundation
is Jesus Christ her Lord;
she is his new creation
by water and the word:
from heaven he came and sought her
to be his holy Bride;
with his own blood he bought her,
and for her life he died.
2 Elect from every nation,
yet one o'er all the earth,
her charter of salvation
one Lord, one faith, one birth;
one holy name she blesses,
partakes one holy food,
and to one hope she presses
with every grace endued.
*3 Though with a scornful wonder
men see her sore opprest,
by schisms rent asunder,
by heresies distrest;
yet saints their watch are keeping,
their cry goes up, 'How long?'
And soon the night of weeping
shall be the morn of song.
4 'Mid toil and tribulation,
and tumult of her war,
she waits the consummation
of peace for evermore;
till with the vision glorious
her longing eyes are blest,
and the great church victorious
shall be the church at rest.
5 Yet she on earth hath union
with God the Three in One,
and mystic sweet communion
with those whose rest is won:
O happy ones and holy!
Lord, give us grace that we,
like them, the meek and lowly,
on high may dwell with thee. Topics: Third Sunday Before Lent Year A; Proper 5 Year C; Proper 16 Year A Used With Tune: AURELIA

To his sublime abode.

And they thy face shall see. Topics: Attributes of God Holiness; The Holiness of God

God Is Working His Purpose Out
Author: Arthur C. Ainger, 1841-1919 Appears in 93 hymnals Scripture: Habakkuk 1:14 Lyrics: 1 God is working his purpose out
As year succeeds to year.
God is working his purpose out,
And the time is drawing near.
Nearer and nearer draws the time,
The time that shall surely be,
When the earth shall be filled
with the glory of God
As the waters cover the sea.
2 From utmost east to utmost west,
Wherever foot has trod,
By the mouth of many messengers
Goes forth the voice of God:
"Give ear to me, ye continents,
You isles, give ear to me,
That the earth may be filled
with the glory of God
As the waters cover the sea."
3 March we forth in the strength of God,
With the banner of Christ unfurled,
That the light of the glorious gospel of truth
May shine throughout the world.
Fight we the fight with sorrow and sin
To set their captives free,
That the earth may be filled
with the glory of God
As the waters cover the sea.
4 All we can do is worthless toil
Unless God blesses the deed.
Vainly we hope for the harvest-tide
Till God gives life to the seed.
Yet nearer and nearer draws the time,
The time that shall surely be,
When the earth shall be filled
with the glory of God
As the waters cover the sea. Topics: Second Coming Used With Tune: PURPOSE
