Comfort, Comfort Now My People
Author: Johannes G. Olearius; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: TWC #132 (1990) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 "Comfort, comfort now my people;
tell of peace!" so says our God.
Comfort those who sit in darkness
mourning under sorrow's load.
To God's people now proclaim
that God's pardon waits for them!
Tell them that their war is over;
God will reign in peace forever!
2 For the herald's voice is crying
in the desert far and near,
calling all to true repentance,
since the Kingdom now is here.
Oh, that warning cry obey!
Now prepare for God a way!
Let the valleys rise to meet him,
and the hills bow down to greet him!
3 Straight shall be what long was crooked,
and the rougher places plain!
Let your hearts be true and humble,
as befits his holy reign!
For the glory of the Lord
now on earth is shed abroad,
and all flesh shall see the token
that God's word is never broken. Topics: Advent Season; Advent Season; Jesus Christ Reign; Kingdom of God; Pardon; World Peace Scripture: Isaiah 40:1 Languages: English Tune Title: GENEVAN 42

On Jordan's Bank the Baptist's Cry
Author: Charles Coffin; John Chandler Hymnal: TWC #136 (1990) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry
announces that the Lord is nigh:
awake and listen for he brings
glad tidings of the King of kings.
2 Let every heart be cleansed from sin,
make straight the way for God within,
and so prepare to be the home
where such a mighty guest may come.
3 For you are our salvation, Lord,
our refuge and our great reward;
without your grace we waste away
like flowers that wither and decay.
4 To heal the sick, stretch out your hand,
and make the fallen sinner stand;
shine out, and let your light restore
earth's own true loveliness once more.
5 To you, O Christ, all praises be,
whose advent sets your people free;
whom with the Father we adore
and Holy Spirit evermore! Topics: Advent Season; Biblical Persons; Advent Season; Biblical Persons John the Baptist; Biblical Places Jordan; Holy Spirit Lifegiver; Jesus Christ Light; Jesus Christ Refuge; Salvation Scripture: Genesis 15:1 Languages: English Tune Title: PUER NOBIS
