Hark! a thrilling voice is sounding

Author: E. Caswell Hymnal: CHRC1920 #41 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Hark! a thrilling voice is sounding; "Christ is nigh," it seems to say; "Cast away the works of darkness, O ye children of the day." 2 Waken'd by the solemn warning, Let the earth bound soul arise; Christ, her Sun, all sloth dispeling, Shines upon the morning skies. 3 Lo! the Lamb, so long expected, Comes with pardon down from heaven; Let us haste, with tears of sorrow, One and all to be forgiven. 4 So when next He comes with glory, Wrapping all the world in fear, May He with His mercy shield us, And with words of love draw near.

Rejoice, rejoice, believers!

Author: S. Findlater; L. Laurenti Hymnal: CHRC1920 #42 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, rejoice, believers! And let your lights appear; The evening is advancing, And darker night is near. The Bridegroom is arising, And soon He will draw nigh; Up! pray, and watch, and wrestle! At mid-night comes the cry. 2 See that your lamps are burning; Replenish them with oil; Look now for your salvation, The end of sin and toil. The watchers on the mountain Proclaim the Bridegroom near, Go meet Him as He cometh, With alleluias clear. 3 O wise and holy virgins, Now raise your voices higher, Until in songs of triumph Ye meet the angel choir. The marriage-feast is waiting, The gates wide open stand; Up, up, ye heirs of glory! The Bridegroom is at hand. 4 Our hope and expectation, O Jesus, now appear; Arise, Thou Sun so longed for, O'er this benighted sphere! With hearts and hands uplifted, We plead, O Lord, to see The day of earth's redemption, And ever be with Thee! Topics: The Christian Year Advent Languages: English Tune Title: GREENLAND

On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry

Author: J. Chandler; C. Coffin Hymnal: CHRC1920 #43 (1920) Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry Announces that the Lord is nigh; Awake, and hearken for he brings Glad tidings of the King of kings. 2 Then cleansed be every Christian breast, And furnished for so great a Guest; Yea, let us each our hearts prepare For Christ to come and enter there. 3 For Thou art our Salvation, Lord, Our Refuge and our great Reward; Without Thy grace we waste away, Like flowers that wither and decay. 4 To heal the sick stretch out Thine hand, And bid the fallen sinner stand; Once more upon Thy people shine, And fill the world with love divine. 5 All praise, eternal Son, to Thee, Whose Advent set Thy people free; Whom with the Father we adore, And Holy Ghost for evermore.

"Thy kingdom come," on bended knee

Author: F. L. Hosmer Hymnal: CHRC1920 #45 (1920) Lyrics: 1 "Thy kingdom come," on bended knee The passing ages pray; And faithful souls have yearn'd to see On earth that kingdom's day. 2 But the slow watches of the night Not less to God belong; And for the everlasting right The silent stars are strong. 3 And lo! already on the hills The flags of dawn appear; Gird up your loins, ye prophet souls, Proclaim the day is near: 4 The day in whose clear-shining light All wrongs shall stand revealed, When justice shall be throned in might, And every hurt be healed; 5 When knowledge, hand in hand with peace, Shall walk the earth abroad; The day of perfect righteousness, The promised day of God.
