Wake, Awake, for Night is Flying
Author: Philipp Nicolai; Catherine Winkworth Meter: Irregular Appears in 216 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 51:17 Lyrics: 1 Wake, awake, for night is flying,
the watchmen on the heights are crying;
awake, Jerusalem, at last.
Midnight hears the welcome voices,
and at the thrilling cry rejoices:
"Come forth, you maidens! Night is past.
The bridegroom comes! Awake;
your lamps with gladness take!"
Alleluia!
Prepare yourselves to meet the Lord,
whose light has stirred the waiting guard.
2 Zion hears the watchmen singing,
and in her heart new joy is springing.
She wakes, she rises from her gloom,
for her Lord comes down all-glorious,
and strong in grace, in truth victorious.
Her star is risen; her light is come.
O, come, you Blessed One,
Lord Jesus, God's own Son.
Sing hosanna!
We go until the halls we view
where you have bid us dine with you.
3 Now let all the heavens adore you,
and saints and angels sing before you.
The harps and cymbals all unite.
Of one pearl each shining portal,
where, dwelling with the choir immortal,
we gather round your dazzling light.
No eye has seen, no ear has yet been trained
to hear what joy is ours!
Crescendos rise; your halls resound;
hosannas blend in cosmic sound.

speak ye peace: thus saith our God.
Comfort those who sit in darkness
bowed beneath oppression's load;
speak ye to Jerusalem
of the peace that waits for them:
tell her that her sins I cover,
and her warfare now is over.
2 Hark! The herald's voice is calling
in the desert far and near,
calling us to new repentance
since the reign of God is here.
Oh, that warning cry obey!
Now prepare for Christ a way;
let the valleys rise to meet him,
and the hills bow down to greet him.
3 Make ye straight what long was crooked;
make the rougher places plain.
Let your hearts be true and humble
as befits Messiah's reign.
For the glory of the Lord
now o'er earth is shed abroad,
and all flesh shall see the token
that God's Word is never broken. Topics: Advent; John, the Baptist Used With Tune: PSALM 42

Home of the pure and blest,

I dream of thy rest, sweet rest!

Down from the far away. [Refrain]

Over the highlands of glory
Rolleth the great new song. [Refrain] Topics: Bible Songs Reward of Saints Used With Tune: BEAUTIFUL VALLEY OF EDEN

O God of Light
Author: Sarah E. Taylor, 1883-1954 Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 25 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 51:4 First Line: O God of light, Your Word, a lamp unfailing Lyrics: 1 O God of light, Your Word, a lamp unfailing,
Shall pierce the darkness of our earthbound way
And show Your grace, Your plan for us unveiling,
And guide our footsteps to the perfect day.
2 From days of old, through blind and willful ages,
Though we rebelled, you gently sought again
And spoke through saints, apostles, prophets, sages,
Who wrote with eager or reluctant pen.
3 Undimmed by time, those words are still revealing
To sinful hearts Your justice and Your grace;
And questing spirits, longing for Your healing,
See your compassion in the Savior's face.
4 To all the world Your summons You are sending,
Through all the earth, to ev'ry land and race,
That myriad tongues, in one great anthem blending,
May praise and celebrate Your gift of grace.
