Thy kingdom come! On bended knee
Author: F. L. Hosmer, 1840-1929 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 103 hymnals Topics: Advent IV Year A Lyrics: 1 Thy kingdom come! On bended knee
the passing ages pray;
and faithful souls have yearned to see
on earth that kingdom's day.
2 But the slow watches of the night

and for the everlasting right
the silent stars are strong.

the flags of dawn appear;
gird up your loins, ye prophet souls,
proclaim the day is near:
4 The day in whose clear-shining light
all wrong shall stand revealed,
when justice shall be throned in might,
and every hurt be healed;
5 When knowledge, hand in hand with peace,
shall walk the earth abroad:
the day of perfect righteousness,
the promised day of God. Scripture: Isaiah 65:17-25 Used With Tune: IRISH

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 52 hymnals Topics: Advent IV B Lyrics: 1 Praise we the Lord this day,
This day so long foretold,
Whose promise shone with cheering ray
On waiting saints of old.

A virgin, born of David's line,
Shall bear the promised seed.

But worship and adore
Like her whom God's own majesty
Came down to shadow o'er.

To hear the gracious word:
Hail, Mary, pure and lowly maid,
The favored of the Lord.

In all the Church on earth!
Through her that wondrous myst'ry came,
The incarnate Savior's birth.

and manifest thy virgin-birth:
let every age adoring fall;
such birth befits the God of all.
2 Begotten of no human will,
but of the Spirit, thou art still
the Word of God, in flesh arrayed,
the Saviour, now to us displayed.
3 From God the Father he proceeds,
to God the Father back he speeds,
runs out his course to death and hell,
returns on God's high throne to dwell.
4 O equal to thy Father, thou!
Gird on thy fleshly mantle now,
the weakness of our mortal state
with deathless might invigorate.
5 Thy cradle here shall glitter bright,
and darkness glow with new-born light,
no more shall night extinguish day,
where love's bright beams their power display.
6 O Jesu, virgin-born, to thee
eternal praise and glory be,
whom with the Father we adore
and Holy Spirit, evermore. Amen. Scripture: 1 John 2:1 Used With Tune: PUER NOBIS NASCITUR
Come, thou Redeemer of the earth
Amazing grace (how sweet the sound)
Author: John Newton, 1725-1806 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,492 hymnals Topics: Advent IV Year B Lyrics: 1 Amazing grace (how sweet the sound)
that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
was blind, but now I see.
2 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
and grace my fears relieved;
how precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed!
3 Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come:
'tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.
4 The Lord has promised good to me,
his word my hope secures;
he will my shield and portion be
as long as life endures.
5 Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
and mortal life shall cease:
I shall possess, within the veil,
a life of joy and peace.
6 The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
the sun forbear to shine;
but God, who called me here below,
will be forever mine. Scripture: 1 Chronicles 17:16 Used With Tune: AMAZING GRACE
Amazing grace (how sweet the sound)
