Findlater Hymnal: The Hymnal of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America 1940 #4 (1940) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D 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! watch in expectation! At midnight comes the cry. 2 See that your lights 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 days of earth's redemption, And ever be with thee! Amem.

O How Shall I Receive Thee?

Author: Paul Gerhardt Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #4 (1926) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D First Line: O how shall I receive Thee Lyrics: 1 O how shall I receive Thee, How greet Thee, Lord, aright? All nations long to see Thee, My Hope, my heart's Delight! O kindle, Lord most holy, Thy lamp within my breast, To do in spirit lowly All that may please Thee best. 2 Thy Zion palms is strewing, And branches fresh and fair; My heart, its powers renewing, An anthem shall prepare. My soul puts off her sadness Thy glories to proclaim; With all her strength and gladness She fain would serve Thy Name. 3 I lay in fetters groaning, Thou com'st to set me free; I stood, my shame bemoaning, Thou com'st to honor me. A glory Thou dost give me, A treasure safe on high, That will not fail nor leave me As earthly riches fly. 4 Love caused Thine incarnation, Love brought Thee down to me; Thy thirst for my salvation Procured my liberty. O love beyond all telling, That led Thee to embrace, In love all love excelling, Our lost and fallen race! 5 Rejoice then, ye sad-hearted, Who sit in deepest gloom, Who mourn o'er joys departed, And tremble at your doom; He who alone can cheer you, Is standing at the door; He brings His pity near you, And bids you weep no more. Amen.

Our God, You Called to Moses

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: Songs of Grace #5 (2009) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D First Line: Our God, you called to Moses to set your people free Lyrics: Our God, you called to Moses to set your people free. What wrongly some suppose is: He answered easily. “I’m not the one you’re seeking!” he seemed instead to say. “My strength is not in speaking; God, find another way!” And yet, O Lord, you told him to trust in what you said. Your strength would surely hold him through every day ahead. Though many would oppose him, by your own name he’d know: You were the one who chose him to help your people go. You call each congregation to serve the lost and poor. We doubt our own vocation; we ask, “Lord, are you sure?” Yet you give gifts for sharing, you show us what to say. Your Spirit gives us daring to serve Christ every day. Topics: Call/Vocation Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12 Languages: English Tune Title: LLANGLOFFAN
