It Came upon the Midnight Clear

Author: Edmund Hamilton Sears Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 904 hymnals Topics: Advent 3 Year C 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 all, 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 Yet with the woes of sin and strife the world has suffered long; beneath the angel strain have rolled two thousand years of wrong; and warring humankind hears not the love song which they bring. O hush the noise and cease your strife, and hear the angels sing. 4 For, lo! the days are hastening on, by prophets seen of old, when with the ever-circling years shall come the time foretold, when peace shall over all the earth its ancient splendours fling, and the whole world send back the song which now the angels sing. Used With Tune: CAROL

The Savior comes, The Savior promised long; Let ev'ry heart prepare a throne And ev'ry voice a song. 2 He comes the pris'ners to release, In Satan's bondage held. The gates of brass before him burst, The iron fetters yield. 3 He comes the broken heart to bind, The bleeding soul to cure, And with the treasures of his grace To enrich the humble poor. 4 Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace, Your welcome shall proclaim, And heav'n's eternal arches ring With your beloved name.

Hark! A Thrilling Voice is Sounding!

Author: Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #37 (1978) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Topics: Advent 3 Lyrics: 1 Hark! A thrilling voice is sounding! "Christ is near," we hear the cry. "Cast away the works of darkness, All you children of the day!" 2 Startled at the solemn warning, Let the earth-bound soul arise; Christ, its sun, all sloth dispelling, Shines upon the morning skies. 3 See the Lamb, so long expected, Comes with pardon down from heav'n. Let us haste, with tears of sorrow, One and all, to be forgiv'n; 4 So, when next he comes in glory And the world is wrapped in fear, He will shield us with his mercy And with words of love draw near. 5 Honor, glory, might, dominion to the Father and the Son With the everliving Spirit While eternal ages run!

Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy

1809 - 1847 Person Name: Felix Mendelssohn Topics: Advent 3 Year B Composer of "MENDELSSOHN" in Voices United Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy (b. Hamburg, Germany, 1809; d. Leipzig, Germany, 1847) was the son of banker Abraham Mendelssohn and the grandson of philosopher Moses Mendelssohn. His Jewish family became Christian and took the Bartholdy name (name of the estate of Mendelssohn's uncle) when baptized into the Lutheran church. The children all received an excellent musical education. Mendelssohn had his first public performance at the age of nine and by the age of sixteen had written several symphonies. Profoundly influenced by J. S. Bach's music, he conducted a performance of the St. Matthew Passion in 1829 (at age 20!) – the first performance since Bach's death, thus reintroducing Bach to the world. Mendelssohn organized the Domchor in Berlin and founded the Leipzig Conservatory of Music in 1843. Traveling widely, he not only became familiar with various styles of music but also became well known himself in countries other than Germany, especially in England. He left a rich treasury of music: organ and piano works, overtures and incidental music, oratorios (including St. Paul or Elijah and choral works, and symphonies. He harmonized a number of hymn tunes himself, but hymnbook editors also arranged some of his other tunes into hymn tunes. Bert Polman
