Born to set thy people free;
From our fears and sins release us;
Let us find our rest in thee.

Hope of all the earth thou art,
Dear desire of ev'ry nation,
Joy of ev'ry longing heart.

Born a child, and yet a king;
Born to reign in us forever,
Now thy gracious kingdom bring.
By thine own eternal Spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By thine all-sufficient merit
Raise us to thy glorious throne. Used With Tune: JEFFERSON

Gott heilger Schöpfe aller Stern
Author: Thomas Müntzer Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Das Kirchenjahr Advent First Line: Gott, heilger Schöpfer aller Stern Lyrics: 1 Gott, heilger Schöpfer aller Stern,
erleucht uns, die wir sind so fern,
daß wir erkennen Jesus Christ,
der für uns Mensch geworden ist.
2 Denn es ging dir zu Herzen sehr,
da wir gefangen waren schwer
und sollten gar des Todes sein;
drum nahm er auf sich Schuld und Pein.
3 Da sich die Welt zum Abend wandt,
der Bräut’gam Christus ward gesandt.
Aus seiner Mutter Kämmerlein
ging er hervor als klarer Schein.
4 Gezeigt hat er sein groß Gewalt,
daß es in aller Welt erschallt,
sich beugen müssen alle Knie
im Himmel und auf Erden hie.
5 Wir bitten dich, o heilger Christ,
der du zukünftig Richter bist,
lehr uns zuvor dein’ Willen tun
und an dem Glauben nehmen zu.
6 Lob, Preis sei, Vater, deiner Kraft
und deinem Sohn, der all Ding schafft,
dem heilgen Tröster auch zugleich
so hier wie dort im Himmelreich.
Amen. Used With Tune: [Gott, heilger Schöpfer aller Stern] Text Sources: 10. Jh. bei Johann Leisentrit 1567

Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence
Author: Gerard Moultrie Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 187 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Advent Lyrics: 1 Let all mortal flesh keep silence,
and with fear and trembling stand;
ponder nothing earthly minded,
for with blessing in his hand
Christ our God to earth descendeth,
our full homage to demand.
2 King of kings, yet born of Mary,
as of old on earth he stood,
Lord of lords, in human vesture,
in the body and the blood,
he will give to all the faithful
his own self for heavenly food.
3 Rank on rank the host of heaven
spreads its vanguard on the way,
as the Light of light descendeth
from the realms of endless day,
that the powers of hell may vanish
as the shadows clear away.
4 At his feet the six-winged seraph,
cherubim, with sleepless eye,
veil their faces to the presence,
as with ceaseless voice they cry,
“Alleluia, alleluia,
alleluia, Lord most high!”
Scripture: Psalm 2:11 Used With Tune: PICARDY Text Sources: From Liturgy of St. James, 4th cent.

Love Divine, All Loves Excelling
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,932 hymnals Topics: Church Year Advent First Line: Love divine, all loves excelling Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all loves excelling,
joy of heaven, to earth come down;
fix in us thy humble dwelling,
all thy faithful mercies crown.
Jesus, thou art all compassion,
pure, unbounded love thou art;
visit us with thy salvation,
enter every trembling heart.
2 Breathe, oh, breathe thy loving Spirit
into every troubled breast;
let us all in thee inherit;
let us find thy promised rest.
Take away the love of sinning;
Alpha and Omega be;
end of faith, as its beginning,
set our hearts at liberty.
3 Come, Almighty to deliver,
let us all thy life receive;
suddenly return, and never,
nevermore thy temples leave.
Thee we would be always blessing,
serve thee with thy hosts above,
pray and praise thee without ceasing,
glory in thy perfect love.
4 Finish, then, thy new creation;
pure and spotless let us be;
let us see thy great salvation
perfectly restored in thee:
changed from glory into glory,
till in heaven we take our place,
till we cast our crowns before thee,
lost in wonder, love and praise. Scripture: Malachi 3:1 Used With Tune: HYFRYDOL
Love Divine, All Loves Excelling
It Came Upon the Midnight Clear
Author: Edmund H. Sears Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 924 hymnals Topics: Christian Year Advent Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth,
To touch their harps of gold:
"Peace on the earth, good will to men,
From heaven's all-gracious King":
The world in solemn stillness lay,
To hear the angels sing.
2 Still through the cloven skies they come,
With peaceful wings unfurled,
And still their heavenly music floats
O'er all the weary world:
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hovering wing,
And ever o'er its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
3 And ye, beneath life's crushing load,
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toil along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow,
Look now! for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing:
O rest beside the weary road,
And hear the angels sing.
4 For lo, the days are hastening on,
By prophet bards foretold,
When with the ever-circling years
Comes round the age of gold;
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling,
And the whole world give back the song
Which now the angels sing.
Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 9:6 Used With Tune: CAROL
