'Wake, awake! for night is flying'

Author: Philipp Nicolai (1556-1608); Catherine Winkworth (1827-1878) Hymnal: CH4 #278 (2005) 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 virgins, night is past! The Bridegroom comes; awake, your lamps with gladness take, Alleluia! and for his marriage feast prepare, for ye must go and meet him there.' 2 Zion hears the watchmen singing, and all her heart with joy is springing; she wakes, she rises from her gloom; for the Lord comes down all-glorious, the strong in grace, in truth victorious; her Star is risen, her Light is come! Now come, O blessèd One, God's own belovèd Son, Alleluia! We follow to the festal hall to sup with you, the Lord of all. 3 All the heavens and earth adore you, and saints and angels sing before you, with harp and cymbal's clearest tone; Zion's gates of pearl before us resound as angels sing in chorus and lead us to your dazzling throne. No mortal eye nor ear can comprehend or bear such great glory; but we rejoice and sing the song, Alleluia! through ages long.

We sing the praise of him who died

Author: Thomas Kelly (1769-1855) Hymnal: CH4 #405 (2005) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of him who died, of him who died upon the cross; the sinner's hope though all deride -- for this we count the world but loss. 2 Inscribed upon the cross we see in shining letters, 'God is love'; he bears our sins upon the tree; he brings us mercy from above. 3 The cross! it takes our guilt away; and holds the fainting spirit up; it cheers with hope the gloomy day, and sweetens every bitter cup; 4 It makes the coward spirit brave, and nerves the feeble arm for fight; it takes its terror from the grave, and gilds the bed of death with light; 5 The balm of life, the cure of woe, the measure and the pledge of love, the sinner's refuge here below, the angels' theme in heaven above.
