behold, the King of glory waits!
The King of kings is drawing near,
the Saviour of the world is here;
salvation and new life he brings,
therefore the earth is glad and sings:
Our Maker, we sing praise,
mighty in all your ways.

with mercy ever at his side;
his kingly crown is holiness,
his scepter, pity in distress;
the end of all our woes he brings,
therefore the earth is glad and sings:
Our Saviour, we now raise
our grateful hymns of praise.

where Christ the ruler is confessed!
What happy hearts and happy homes
to whom this king in triumph comes!
The cloudless sun of joy he is,
Who brings us pure delight and bliss.
Our Comforter, we raise
our grateful hymns of praise.
4 Lift up the gates; lift up your heart,
make it a temple set apart
from earthly use for heaven's employ,
adorned with prayer and love and joy:
so shall your sovereign enter in,
and new and nobler life begin.
To you, O God, be praise
for word, and deed, and grace.
5 Redeemer, come! With me abide,
my heart to you I open wide.
Let me your inner presence feel,
your grace and love in me reveal;
your Holy Spirit guide us on
until our glorious goal is won.
Eternal praise and fame
we offer to your name. Topics: Adoration and Praise; Advent; Christ tne King Sunday; City; Inner Peace; Jesus Christ Kingship; Joy; New Life in Christ; Personal Response to Jesus; Redemption Used With Tune: MACH NOCH DIE TÜR

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 267 hymnals Scripture: 1 Timothy 6:13-16 Lyrics: 1 The Lord Jehovah reigns,
his throne is built on high;
the garments he assumes
are light and majesty:
his glories shine with beams so bright
no mortal eye can bear the sight.

keep the wide world in awe;
his wrath and justice stand
to guard his holy law;
and where his love resolves to bless
his truth confirms and seals his grace.

amazing wisdom shines,
confounds the powers of hell
and breaks their cursed designs;
strong is his arm, and shall fulfil
his great decrees, his sovereign will.

of Glory condescend?
And will he write his name
My Father and my Friend?
I love his name, I love his word;
join, all my powers, and praise the Lord. Topics: Evil; Glory of God; Grace; Judgment of God; Law of God; Our Love to God; Providence; Salvation; Word of God Used With Tune: ST JOHN

Watches each unguarded part:

"Child, your Father calls--come home!"

None so oft mislead our feet,
None betray us into sin,
Like the foes that dwell within;
Yet let nothing spoil our peace,
Christ shall also conquer these;

on Mary’s lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
while shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King,
whom shepherds guard and angels sing;
haste, haste to bring him laud,
the babe, the son of Mary!
2 Why lies he in such mean estate
where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear; for sinners here
the silent Word is pleading.
Nails, spear shall pierce him through,
the cross be borne for me, for you;
hail, hail for Word made flesh,
the babe, the son of Mary!
3 So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh;
come, peasant, king, to own him.
The King of kings salvation brings;
let loving hearts enthrone him.
Raise, raise the song on high,
the virgin sings her lullaby;
joy, joy, for Christ is born,
the babe, the son of Mary.

Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart
Blessed is the man whose softening heart
Author: Mrs. Barbauld Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 158 hymnals Scripture: 1 Timothy 6:17-19 Lyrics: 1 Blest is the man whose softening heart
Feels all another's pain;
To whom the supplicating eye
Was never raised in vain.
2 Whose breast expands with generous warmth,
A stranger's woes to feel;
And bleeds in pity o'er the wound
He wants the power to heal.
3 He spreads his kind, supporting arms
To every child of grief;
His secret bounty largely flows,
And brings unasked relief.
4 To gentle offices of love
His feet are never slow:
He views, through mercy's melting eye,
A brother in a foe.
5 Peace from the bosom of his God,
The Saviour's grace shall give;
And when he kneels before the throne,
His trembling soul shall live. Topics: The Christian Church Fellowship; Charity
