The Lord will come and not be slow
Author: John Milton, 1608-1674 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 98 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Lord will come and not be slow,
his footsteps cannot err;
before him righteousness shall go,
his royal harbinger.
2 Truth from the earth, like to a flower,
shall bud and blossom then;
and justice, from her heavenly bower,
look down on mortal men.
3 Rise, God, judge thou the earth in might,
this wicked earth redress;
for thou art he who shalt by right
the nations all possess.
4 The nations all whom thou hast made
shall come, and all shall frame
to bow them low before thee, Lord,
and glorify thy name.
5 For great thou art, and wonders great
by thy strong hand are done:
thou in thy everlasting seat
remainest God alone. Topics: Advent; Advent III Year A; Proper 12 Year C; Third Sunday Before Advent Year A Scripture: 2 Peter 3:9 Used With Tune: ST. STEPHEN

The King shall come when morning dawns
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 95 hymnals Lyrics:
The King shall come when morning dawns,
And light triumphant breaks;
When beauty gilds the eastern hills,
And life to joy awakes.
Not as of old a little child
To bear, and fight, and die,
But crowned with glory like the sun
That lights the morning sky.
O brighter than the rising morn
When he, victorious, rose,
And left the lonesome place of death,
Despite the rage of foes;
O brighter than that glorious morn
Shall this fair morning be,
When Christ, our King, in beauty comes,
And we his face shall see.
The King shall come when morning dawns,
And earth's dark night is past;
O haste the rising of that morn,
The day that aye shall last;
And let the endless bliss begin,
By weary saints foretold,
When right shall triumph over wrong,
And truth shall be extolled.
The King shall come when morning dawns,
And light and beauty brings:
Hail, Christ the Lord! Thy people pray,
Come quickly, King of kings.
Amen.

I come with joy, a child of God
Author: Brian Wren (b. 1936) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 74 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I come with joy, a child of God,
forgiven, loved and free,
the life of Jesus to recall,
in love laid down for me.

to find, as all are fed,
the new community of love
in Christ's communion bread.

each proud division ends.
The love that made us, makes us one,
and strangers now are friends.
4 The Spirit of the risen Christ,
unseen, but ever near,
is in such friendship better known,
alive among us here.

by all that God has done,
we'll go with joy, to give the world
the love that makes us one.

Like Jesus on the cross.

To Heav’n directs her sight;
Here every warmer passion meets,
And warmer powers unite.

And rising sin destroy;
Repentance comes with aching heart,
Yet not forbids the joy.

Then shall our souls be all delight,
And every tear be dry. Used With Tune: ST STEPHEN Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs 1707-09, Book II

O God of Jacob, by whose hand

O God of Jacob, by whose hand
God's mercies I will ever sing
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God’s mercies I will ever sing;
and with my mouth I shall
thy faithfulness make to be known
to generations all.
2 For mercy shall be built, said I,
for ever to endure;
thy faithfulness even in the heavens
thou wilt establish sure.
3 I with my chosen one have made
a covenant graciously;
and to my servant whom I loved,
to David sworn have I;
4 that I thy seed establish shall
for ever to remain,
and will to generations all
thy throne build and maintain.
5 The praises of thy wonders, Lord,
the heavens shall express;
the assembly of the holy ones
shall praise thy faithfulness.
6 For who in heaven with the Lord
may once himself compare?
Who is like God among the sons
of those that mighty are?
7 Great fear in meeting of the saints
is due unto the Lord;
and he of all about him should
with reverence be adored.
8 O Lord, the God of hosts, who can
to thee compared be?
The might One, the Lord, whose truth
doth round encompass thee.
9 Even in the raging of the sea
thou over it dost reign;
and when the waves thereof do rise,
thou stillest them again.
10 Rahab in pieces thou didst break,
like one that slaughtered is;
and with thy mighty arm thou hast
dispersed thine enemies.
11 The heavens are thine, thou for thine own
the earth dost also take;
the world, and fulness of the same,
thou by thy power didst make.
12 The north and south from thee alone
their first beginning had;
both Tabor mount and Hermon hill
shall in thy name be glad.
13 Thou hast an arm that’s full of power,
thy hand is great in might;
and thy right hand exceedingly
exalted is in height.
14 Justice and judgment of thy throne
are made the dwelling-place;
mercy, accompanied with truth,
shall go before thy face.1
15 O greatly blessed the people are
the joyful sound that know;
in brightness of thy face, O Lord,
they ever on shall go.
16 They in thy name shall all the day
rejoice exceedingly;
and in thy righteousness shall they
exalted be on high.
17 Because the glory of their strength
doth only stand in thee;
and in thy favour shall our horn
and power exalted be.
18 For to the Lord belongs our shield,
that doth us safety bring:
and unto Israel's Holy One
the man that is our king. Scripture: Psalm 89:1-18 Used With Tune: ST STEPHEN (NEWINGTON)

With joy we meditate the grace

of our High Priest above;
his heart is made of tenderness,
and ever yearns with love.
2 Touched with a sympathy within,
he knows our feeble frame;
he knows what sore temptations mean
for he has felt the same.
3 He in the days of feeble flesh
poured out his cries and tears;
and, in his measure, feels afresh
what every member bears.
4 He'll never quench the smoking flax,
but raise it to a flame;
the bruisèd reed he never breaks,
nor scorns the meanest name.
5 Then let our humble faith address
his mercy and his power:
we shall obtain delivering grace
in every needful hour. Topics: General Hymns The Christian Life Used With Tune: ST STEPHEN
