God of grace and God of glory
Earth was waiting, spent and restless
Author: W. C. Smith (1824-1908) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Earth was waiting, spent and restless,
with a mingled hope and fear,
faithful men and women praying,
'Surely, Lord, the day is near:
the Desire of all the nations —
it is time he should appear!'
2 then the Spirit of the Highest
to a virgin meek came down,
and he burdened her with blessing,
and he pained he with renown;
for she bore the Lord's anointed
for his cross and for his crown.
3 Earth has groaned and laboured for him
since the ages first began,
for in him was hid the secret
which through all the ages ran —
Son of Mary, Son of David,
Son of God, and Son of Man. Topics: God, Saviour Promised and Incarnate; Advent 4 The Annunciation; Christmas 1 The Incarnation Used With Tune: LINGWOOD
Earth was waiting, spent and restless
Sing, ye faithful, sing with gladness
Author: John Ellerton, 1826-93 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 38 hymnals Lyrics: 1 SING, ye faithful, sing with gladness,
Wake your noblest, sweetest strain,
With the praises of your Saviour
Let his house resound again;
Him let all your music honour,
And your songs exalt his reign.
2 Sing how he came forth from heaven,
Bowed himself to Bethlehem's cave,
Stooped to wear the servant's vesture,
Bore the pain, the cross, the grave,
Passed within the gates of darkness,
Thence his banished ones to save.
3 So, he tasted death for all men,
He, of all mankind the head,
Sinless one, among the sinful,
Prince of life, among the dead;
Thus he wrought the full redemption,
And the captor captive led.
4 Now on high, yet ever with us,
From his Father's throne the Son
Rules and guides the world he ransomed,
Till the appointed work be done,
Till he see, renewed and perfect,
All things gathered into one.
5 Alleluya to the Father,
Alleluya to the Son,
Alleluya to the Spirit,
Ever three and ever one,
One in love and one in glory,
While unending ages run. Amen. Topics: Procession Used With Tune: LINGWOOD
Sing, ye faithful, sing with gladness
