Wake, Awake, for Night is Flying

Author: Philipp Nicolai; Catherine Winkworth Meter: Irregular Appears in 218 hymnals Topics: Music and Singing 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. Scripture: Isaiah 21:11 Used With Tune: WACHET AUF

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Author: Robert Robinson Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2,245 hymnals Topics: Music and Singing Lyrics: 1 Come, thou Fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing thy grace; streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet, sung by flaming tongues above. Praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it, mount of thy redeeming love. 2 Here I raise to thee an altar; hither by thy help I've come; and I hope, by thy good pleasure, safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God; he, to rescue me from danger, interposed his precious blood. 3 O to grace how great a debtor daily I'm constrained to be! Let thy goodness, like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to thee. Prone to wander, how I feel it, prone to leave the God I love; here's my heart, O take and seal it, seal it for thy courts above. Used With Tune: NETTLETON

My song is love unknown

Author: Samuel Crossman, c.1624-1683 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 129 hymnals Topics: Music / Singing / Song Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown, my Saviour’s love to me, love to the loveless shown, that they might lovely be. Oh who am I, that for my sake my Lord should take frail flesh and die? 2 He came from his blest throne salvation to bestow, but we made strange, and none the longed-for Christ would know. But oh, my Friend, my Friend indeed, who at my need his life did spend. 3 Sometimes they strew his way and his sweet praises sing, resounding all the day hosannas to their King; Then “Crucify” is all their breath, and for his death they thirst and cry. 4 Here might I stay and sing, no story so divine; never was love, dear King, never was grief like thine. This is my friend in whose sweet praise I all my days could gladly spend. Scripture: Mark 11:1-11 Used With Tune: LOVE UNKNOWN
