"Sleepers, Wake!" A Voice Astounds Us
Author: Philipp Nicolai (1556-1608); Carl P. Daw, Jr. (1944-) Appears in 11 hymnals Scripture: Romans 13:8-14 Lyrics: 1 “Sleepers, wake!” a voice astounds us;
the shout of rampart-guards surrounds us:
"Awake, Jerusalem, arise!"
Midnight’s peace their cry has broken,
their urgent summons clearly spoken:
"The time has come, O maidens wise!
Rise up, and give us light;
the Bridegroom is in sight.
Alleluia!
Your lamps prepare and hasten there,
that you the wedding feast may share."
2 Zion hears the watchmen singing.
Her heart with joyful hope is springing;
she wakes and hurries through the night.
Forth he comes, her bridegroom glorious
in strength of grace, in truth victorious:
her star is risen, her light grows bright.
Now come, most worthy Lord,
God's Son, Incarnate Word,
alleluia!
We follow all and heed your call
to come into the banquet hall.
3 Lamb of God, the heavens adore you;
let saints and angels sing before you,
as harps and cymbals swell the sound.
Twelve great pearls, the city's portals:
through them we stream to join the immmortals
as we with joy your throne surround.
No eye has known the sight,
no ear heard such delight:
alleluia!
Therefore we sing to greet our King;
forever let our praises ring. Topics: Advent Used With Tune: WACHET AUF

To meet the bold tempter, go, fearlessly go,
And stand like the brave, with thy face to the foe.
Chorus:
Stand like the brave, stand like the brave,
Stand like the brave, with thy face to the foe.

And turn not thy back, for no armor is there;
The legions of darkness, if thou wouldst o'er-throw,
And stand like the brave, with thy face to the foe. [Chorus]
3 The cause of thy Master with vigor defend;
Be watchful, be zealous, and fight to the end;
Wherever he leads thee, go, valiantly go,
And stand like the brave, with thy face to the foe. [Chorus]
4 Press on, never doubting, thy Captain is near,
With grace to supply, and with comfort to cheer;
His love, like a stream in the desert will flow,
Then stand like the brave, with thy face to the foe. [Chorus] Topics: Bible Songs Missionary Songs Used With Tune: [O Christian, awake! 'tis the Master's command]

Veiled in Darkness Judah Lay
Author: Douglas LeTell Rights Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: Romans 13:12 Refrain First Line: Peace on earth, peace on earth, goodwill, goodwill to men Lyrics: 1 Veiled in darkness Judah lay,
Waiting for the promised day,
While across the shadowy night
Streamed a flood of glorious light,
Heavenly voices chanting then,
"Peace on earth, peace on earth, goodwill, goodwill to men."
2 Still the earth in darkness lies.
Up from death’s dark vale arise
Voices of a world in grief,
Prayers of men who seek relief:
Now our darkness pierce again,
"Peace on earth, peace on earth, goodwill, goodwill to men."
3 Light of light, we humbly pray,
Shine upon your world today;
Break the gloom of our dark night,
Fill our souls with love and light,
Send your blessed word again,
"Peace on earth, peace on earth, goodwill, goodwill to men."
Amen. Topics: Service for the Lord's Day Conclusion of Worship; Acts of the Church Ordination; Acts of the Church Installation; Christian Year Advent; Christian Year Christmas; Christian Year Epiphany Used With Tune: PITTSBURGH

Community of Christ
Author: Shirley Erena Murray, 1931- Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: Romans 13:8 Lyrics: 1 Community of Christ,
who make the cross your own,
live out your creed and risk your life
for God alone:
the God who wears your face,
to whom all worlds belong,
whose children are of every race
and every song.
2 Community of Christ,
look past the Church's door
and see the refugee, the hungry,
and the poor.
Take hands with the oppressed,
the jobless in your street,
take towel and water, that you wash
your neighbor's feet.
3 Community of Christ,
through whom the word must sound --
cry out for justice and for peace
the whole world round:
disarm the powers that war
and all that can destroy,
turn bombs to bread, and tears of anguish
into joy.
4 When menace melts away,
so shall God's will be done,
the climate of the world be peace
and Christ its sun;
our currency be love
and kindliness our law,
our food and faith be shared as one
for evermore. Used With Tune: LEONI
