Hark! a thrilling voice is sounding
Author: Edward Caswall, 1814 - 78 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #1 (1958) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Hark! a thrilling voice is sounding;
'Christ is nigh,' it seems to say,
'Cast away the works of darkness,
O ye children of the day.'
2 Wakened by the solemn warning,
Let the earth-bound soul arise;
Christ, her sun, all ill dispelling,
Shines upon the morning skies.
3 Lo, the Lamb, so long expected,
Comes with pardon down from heaven;
Let us haste, with tears of sorrow,
One and all to be forgiven;
4 So when next he comes in glory,
And the world is wrapped in fear,
With his mercy may he shield us,
And with words of love draw near.
5 Honor, glory, might, and blessing
Be to God: the Father, Son,
And the everlasting Spirit,
While eternal ages run.
Amen.

The Advent of our God
Author: John Chandler, 1806 - 76; Charles Coffin, 1676-1749 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #3 (1958) Lyrics: 1 The advent of our God
Our prayers must now employ,
And we must meet him on his road
With hymns of holy joy.
2 The everlasting Son
Incarnate deigns to be;
Himself a servant's form puts on
To set his people free.
3 Daughter of Sion, rise
To meet thy lowly King,
Nor let thy faithless heart despise
The peace he comes to bring. A-men.
4 As judge, on clouds of light,
He soon will come again,
And all his scattered saints unite
With him in heaven to reign.
5 Before the dawning day
Let sin's dark deeds be gone;
The old man all be put away,
The new man all put on.
6 All glory to the Son,
Who comes to set us free,
With Father, Spirit, ever One,
Through all eternity.

Author: John Chandler, 1806 - 76; Charles Coffin, 1676 - 1749 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #4 (1958) Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's banks the Baptist's cry

Glad tidings of the King of kings.

Make straight the way for God within;
And let us all our hearts prepare
For Christ to come and enter there. A-men.

Our refuge and our great reward;
Without thy grace we waste away
Like flowers that wither and decay.
4 Stretch forth thy hand, to health restore,
And make us rise to fall no more;
Once more upon thy people shine,
And fill the world with love divine.
5 All praise, eternal Son, to thee
Whose advent sets thy people free,
Whom with the Father we adore,
And Holy Ghost, for evermore.

Raise us to thy glorious throne.

Procured my liberty.

And tremble at your doom,

And bids you weep no more.
