Hail to the Lord's Anointed

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.6 Appears in 843 hymnals Topics: Advent, Third Sunday 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 succor 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 For 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 forever; That Name to us is Love. Scripture: Psalm 72 Used With Tune: AURELIA

With such I hasten to the place where God my Savior shows his face, and gladly take my station there, and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer! 3 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! thy wings shall my petition bear to him whose truth and faithfulness engage the waiting soul to bless. And since he bids me seek his face, believe his word, and trust his grace, I'll cast on him my every care, and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer! United Methodist Hymnal, 1989

Hvo vil med til Himmerige?

Author: Brorson Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday in Advent Lyrics: 1 Hvo vil med til Himmerige? Kommer, Jesus raaber nu, Kommer Fattige og Rige, Vender Hjerte, Sind og Hu Fra den arme Verden bort! Tiden er herefter kort, Her er mere at bestille End med Verdens Lyst at spille. 2 Har I drevet eders Dage Hen i Synd og Sikkerhed, Hvad vil det for Ende tage? Det gaar jo til Helved ned. Vender om, og søger Raad I en Hjertens Bedrings-Graad! Søger udi saadan Smerte Jesus ret af ganske Hjerte! 3 Dermed vandrer andeledes End den store Verdens Flok! Her skal kjæmpes, her skal bedes, Sagen er jo vigtig nok; Hver en Lyst skal gribes fat, Som sig fast hos dig har sat, At den aldrig, aldrig mere Over Sjælen skal regjere. 4 Jesu Fodspor er alene Vei til Himlens Herlighed, Og hvo dette ei vil mene, Han af Gudsfrygt intet veed, Al hans Kunst og Visdoms Vei, Al hans Gjerning duer ei; Vil man Vei til Himlen vide, Da maa Verden først til Side. 5 Du maa vride dig og vende Her saa længe som du vil, Syndens Lyst maa have Ende, Ellers er Guds Naade spildt. Siger du, du veed det grant, Hvo der kunde kun saa sandt! Hen til Gud, om Kraft at bede, Han til Hjælpen straks er rede. 6 Kjender du, at det er nødigt Ret at bruge Naadens Tid, Og dog agter overflødigt Nu at bruge al din Flid, Saa er det Bevis kun paa, At du ei for Satan maa; Vil du da din Fiende lyde, Og det evigt hart fortryde? 7 Op, I Kristne, ser dog eder Ret i denne Verden for! Vaager, sukker, banker, leder Efter Jesu rette Spor! Gaar i denne Verden frem, Som det ret kan sømme dem, Der hvert Øieblik med Glæde Færdig staar for Dom at træde! 8 Op, I Kristne, samler Kræfter, Fatter Mod i Barm og Bryst, Ret at følge Jesus efter, Ret at følge ham med Lyst! Holder eder til ham nær, Faar ham altid mere kjær, Elsker trolig eders Næste, Søger alt hverandres Bedste! 9 Kjender eders store Vaade I en grundig Ydmyghed! I vor Herres Jesu Naade Sænker eder ganske ned! Lægger uophørlig Vind Paa at have Jesu Sind, Hvad han gjorde, gjører efter! Han skal give Mod og Kræfter. 10 Er det ikke Tid at vandre? Evigheden er os nær; Beder! stræver med hverandre At formane hver især! Hid, I Store, hid I Smaa! Tager Jesu Kors kun paa! Følger alle, ingen svige, Hvo der vil til Himmerige!
