Lord, and whither shall we go?

Author: Robert Montgomery Hymnal: Church Book #226 (1890) Topics: Advent, Third Sunday Lyrics: 1 Lord, and whither shall we go? Thou alone hast words of life! In our stormy griefs below, Who, but Thou, can heal the strife Sin and sorrow round us being, In life's vale while wandering? 2 Blessed Christ! embodied Word! Thou alone art Life and Light: Saints who have Thy truth preferred Walk in peace, and worship right: Thou alone to sin canst say, "I am Love, the Living Way." 3 Sun of Grace, O ever shine Round our paths, where'er they lead! Midnight feels a ray divine Breaking through the darkest need, If we hear, when most dismayed, "It is I, be not afraid!" 4 Pardon, peace, and purity, Gifts without, and grace within, Love and light which set us free From the curse and chain of sin-- These, Emmanuel, Thou canst give, While upon Thy words we live. 5 Not a want, Thou canst not fill; Not a fear, Thou wilt not tame; If, indeed, repentance will Rest upon Thy glorious Name, High o'er every guilt and grave Shall Redemption's banner wave! 6 Saviour, be our Polar Star, Shaded by no sinful night; Shed upon us from afar Living beams of holy light: When we reach our radiant home, We shall know the Way we come.

Where else such holy comforts meet, As spring eternal there? 2 Earth has no fount of true delight, No pure perennial stream; And sorrow's storm, and death's long night, Obscure life's brightest beam. 3 Unmingled joys 'tis Thine to give, And undecaying peace: For Thou canst teach us so to live, That life shall never cease. 4 Thou only canst the cheering words Of endless life supply; Anointed of the Lord of lords, The Son of God most high!

See the day of God appear. 4 Yea, Amen, let all adore Thee, High on Thine eternal throne; Savior, take the power and glory; Claim the kingdoms for Thine own: Hallelujah!

Fire of the Spirit, burn for our enduing, wind of the Spirit, fan the living flame! We turn to Christ amid our fear and failing, the will that lacks the courage to be free, the weary labours, all but unavailing, to bring us nearer what a church should be. 2 Lord of the Church, we seek a Father's blessing, a true repentance and a faith restored, a swift obedience and a new possessing, filled with the Holy Spirit of the Lord! We turn to Christ from all our restless striving, unnumbered voices with a single prayer: the living water for our souls' reviving, in Christ to live, and love and serve and care. 3 Lord of the Church, we long for our uniting, true to one calling, by one vision stirred; one cross proclaiming and one creed reciting, one in the truth of Jesus and his word. So lead us on; till toil and trouble ended, one Church triumphant one new song shall sing, to praise his glory, risen and ascended, Christ over all, the everlasting King!

Lov og pris og evig Ære

Author: Joh. N. Brun Hymnal: Salmebog for Lutherske Kristne i Amerika #452 (1919) Topics: Third Sunday in Advent Lyrics: 1 Lov og Pris og evig Ære Ske dig, o treenig Gud, Som vor Troes rene Lære Rev af Mørkets Fængsel ud! Da dit Lys var næsten slukt, Eller alt for ilde brugt, Satte du det paa sin Stage, Gav din Kirke klare Dage. 2 Du lod Olje-Bække flyde Ned fra Sandheds Kildervæld, Du lod Aaget sønderbryde, Du gav Sandheds Venner Held. Du en Luther ruster ud, Og ved dette Sendebud Tordner ind i Nattens Mørke: Kommer, lærer Gud at dyrke! 3 Altid, naar din Kirke heldte Truende med hastigt Fald, Altid, naar i Nød det gjeldte, Fik en Sandheds Tolk dit Kald, Aand og Lys og Kraft og Mod, Saa at fast din Kirke stod Over alle rigers Alder, Og skal staa, til Verden falder. 4 Gud til vilde Dyr ei giver Denne Turteldues Sjæl. Kirkens Sæde flytter bliver Til en anden Verdens-Del. Da for Jordens østre Kant Kundskabs gyldne sol oprandt, Var her Nat i disse Lande, Ingen kjendte Gud, den sande. 5 Derfra Lys til Vester iler, Sildig det til Norden kom, Men hvor længe mon det hviler, Før det dreies Jorden om? Og hvo ved, om Natten snart komme skal med vældig Fart, Jage Dagen bort til Andre; Her er Lys, o lad os vandre! Languages: Norwegian
