And fill the world with love divine.

And the hills bow to greet him!

And the rougher places plain!
Let your hearts be true and humble,
As befits his holy reign!

Now on earth is shed abroad,
And all flesh shall see the token
That God's word is never broken. Languages: English Tune Title: FREU DICH SEHR

In strains of holy joy.

To set His servants free.

To meet thy lowly King;
Repentant hearts He'll not despise,
Forgiveness He doth bring.

He soon will come again;
Then saints and angels will unite
To praise His heav'nly reign.

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.

promised in their faithful word;

and rule in equity.

their darkness turn to light,
whose souls, condemned and dying,
are precious in his sight.
3 Christ shall come down like showers
upon the fruitful earth,
and love, joy, hope, like flowers,
spring in his path to birth.
Before him on the mountains
shall peace, the herald, go,
and righteousness in fountains
from hill to valley flow.
4 To him shall prayer unceasing
and daily vows ascend,
his kingdom still increasing,
a kingdom without end.
The tide of time shall never
his covenant remove.
His name shall stand for ever:
that name to us is Love.

Love Divine, All Loves Excelling
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Voices United #333 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Advent 2 Year A; Advent 2 Year C Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all loves excelling,
joy of heaven, to earth come down,
fix in us thy humble dwelling,
all thy faithful mercies crown.
Jesus, thou art all compassion,
pure, unbounded love thou art;
visit us with thy salvation,
enter every trembling heart.
2 Come, almighty to deliver,
let us all thy life receive;
suddenly return, and never,
nevermore thy temples leave.
Thee we would be always blessing,
serve thee as thy hosts above,
pray, and praise thee, without ceasing,
glory in thy perfect love.
3 Finish then thy new creation;
pure and spotless let us be;
let us see thy great salvation
perfectly restored in thee,
changed from glory into glory,
till in heaven we take our place,
till we cast our crowns before thee,
lost in wonder, love, and praise.

Hail to the Lord's anointed
Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #259 (2000) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Topics: Year A Advent 2 Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Lord's anointed,
great David's greater son!
Hail, in the time appointed,
his reign on earth begun!
He comes to break oppression,
to set the captive free;
to take away transgression,
and rule in equity.
2 He comes with succour speedy
to those who suffer wrong;
to help the poor and needy,
and bid the weak be strong;
to give them songs for sighing,
their darkness turn to light,
whose souls, condemned and dying,
were precious in his sight.
3 He shall come down like showers
upon the fruitful earth,
and love, joy, hope, like flowers,
spring in his path to birth:
before him on the mountains
shall peace the herald go;
and righteousness in fountains
from hill to valley flow.
4 Kings shall bow down before him,
and gold and incense bring;
all nations shall adore him,
his praise all people sing:
to him shall prayer unceasing
and daily vows ascend;
his kingdom still increasing,
a kingdom without end.
5 O'er ev'ry foe victorious,
he on his throne shall rest,
from age to age more glorious,
all-blessing and all-blest;
the tide of time shall never
his covenant remove;
his name shall stand for ever,
that name to us is love. Scripture: Psalm 72 Languages: English Tune Title: CRÜGER
