Wake, Awake, for Night Is Flying
Author: P. Nicolai, 1566-1608 Appears in 219 hymnals Topics: Heaven's Eternal Joy First Line: "Wake, awake, for night is flying" Lyrics: 1 "Wake, awake, for night is flying,"
The watchmen on the heights are crying,
"Awake, Jerusalem, arise!"
It is midnight, we are weary,
With voices strong they call us clearly:
"Where are you now, O virgins wise?
The Bridegroom comes, awake!
Your lamps with gladness take!
Allelujah!
With bridal care yourselves prepare
To feast with Him, your Groom most fair."
2 Zion hears the watchword sounding,
With bridal joy her heart is bounding,
She wakes, and breaks the spell of sleep.
For her Lord comes forth in splendor,
All rich in grace, truth's strong Defender!
Her Star grows bright and darkness deep.
Now come,O precious Crown,
Lord Jesus, God's own Son.
Hail, Hosanna!
We enter all, the marriage hall,
To eat the Supper at Your call.
3 All the Church in Christ rejoices
With human and angelic voices,
With harp and cymbal's merry tone.
All twelve gates of that blest city
Gleam forth with pearls of heav'nly beauty;
We worship there around the throne.
No vision ever brought,
No ear hath ever caught
Such great glory;
Blessed, will we, sweet jubilee,
Sing "Gloria" eternally.

Wake, Awake, for Night Is Flying
Thou hidden source of calm repose
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 173 hymnals Topics: Peace and Joy Lyrics: 1 Thou hidden source of calm repose,
Thou all-sufficient love divine,
My help and refuge from my foes,
Secure I am, if thou art mine:
And lo! from sin, and grief, and shame
I hide me, Jesus, in thy Name.
2 Thy mighty Name salvation is,
And keeps my happy soul above;
Comfort it brings, and pow'r, and peace,
And joy, and everlasting love:
To me, with thy dear Name are giv'n
Pardon, and holiness, and heav'n.
3 Jesus, my all in all thou art;
My rest in toil, my ease in pain,
The medicine of my broken heart,
In war my peace, in loss my gain,
My smile beneath the tyrant's frown,
In shame my glory and my crown:
4 In want my plentiful supply,
In weakness my almighty pow'r,
In bonds my perfect liberty,
My light in Satan's darkest hour,
My help and stay whene'er I call,
My life in death, my heav'n, my all.
Amen. Scripture: Philippians 4:7 Used With Tune: STELLA

How Tedious and Tasteless the Hours
Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 660 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Joy and Peace; Joy Lyrics: 1 How tedious and tasteless the hours
When Jesus no longer I see!
Sweet prospects, sweet birds, and sweet flowers,
Have all lost their sweetness to me;
The midsummer sun shines but dim,
The fields strive in vain to look gay;
But when I am happy in Him,
December's as pleasant as May.
2 His name yields the richest perfume,
And sweeter than music His voice;
His presence disperses my gloom,
And makes all within me rejoice;
I should, were He always thus nigh,
Have nothing to wish or to fear;
No mortal so happy as I,
My summer would last all the year.
3 Content with beholding His face,
My all to His pleasure resigned,
No changes of seasons or place
Would make any change in my mind:
While blest with a sense of His love,
A palace a toy would appear;
And prisons would palaces prove,
If Jesus would dwell with me there.
4 Dear Lord, if indeed I am Thine,
If Thou art my sun and my song,
Say, why do I languish and pine,
And why are my winters so long?
O drive these dark clouds from my sky,
Thy soul-cheering presence restore;
Or take me to Thee upon high,
Where winter and clouds are no more.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 30:1 Used With Tune: CONTRAST
How Tedious and Tasteless the Hours
O Perfect Love
Author: Dorothy B. Gurney, 1858-1932 Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 251 hymnals Topics: Joy First Line: O perfect Love, all human thought transcending Lyrics: 1 O perfect Love, all human thought transcending,
Lowly we kneel in prayer before Thy throne,
That theirs may be the love which knows no ending,
Whom Thou forevermore dost join in one.
2 O perfect Life, be Thou their full assurance
Of tender charity and steadfast faith,
Of patient hope and quiet, brave endurance,
With child-like trust that fears no pain nor death.
3 Grant them the joy which brightens earthly sorrow;
Grant them the peace which calms all earthly strife,
And to life's day the glorious unknown morrow
That dawns upon eternal love and life.
Amen.
Scripture: Psalm 103:13 Used With Tune: PERFECT LOVE
O Perfect Love
