The Lord will come! but not the same

Author: Reginald Heber Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Second Advent Executive Judgment Lyrics: 1 The Lord will come! but not the same As once in lowly form he came A silent Lamb to slaughter led, The bruised, the suffering, and the dead. 2 The Lord will come! a dreadful form, With wreath of flame and robe of storm, On cherub wings and wings of wind, Anointed Judge of human-kind. 3 Can this be He who went to stray A pilgrim on the world's highway; By power oppressed, and mocked by pride? O God! is this the Crucified? 4 Ye men of earth, to mountains call; Bid ragged rocks upon you fall; Seek, in the cavern's gloomy maze, A refuge from this piercing gaze. 5 But saints who here have waited long, Now raise with joy the choral song, Lo! this is he, our coming Lord, He saves according to his word.

O Morning Star! how fair and bright

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Philipp Nicolai Appears in 66 hymnals Topics: Second Sunday of Advent Lyrics: 1 O Morning Star! how fair and bright Thou beamest forth in truth and light; O Sov'reign meek and lowly, Thou Root of Jesse, David's Son, My Lord and Bridegroom, Thou hast won My heart to serve Thee solely! Holy art Thou, Fair and glorious, all victorious, Rich in blessing, Rule and might o'er all possessing. 2 Thou Heavenly Brightness! Light Divine! O deep within my heart now shine, And make Thee there an altar! Fill me with joy and strength to be Thy member, ever joined to Thee In love that cannot falter; Toward Thee longing Doth possess me; turn and bless me, For Thy gladness Eye and heart here pine in sadness. 3 But if Thou look on me in love, There straightway falls from God above A ray of purest pleasure; Thy Word and Spirit, flesh and blood, Refresh my soul with heavenly food, Thou art my hidden treasure; Let Thy grace, Lord, Warm and cheer me, O draw near me; Thou hast taught us Thee to seek, since Thou hast sought us! 4 Here will I rest, and this hold fast: The Lord I love is First and Last, The End as the Beginning! Here I can calmly die, for Thou Wilt raise me where Thou swellest now, Above all tears, all sinning; Amen! Amen! Come, Lord Jesus, soon release us; With deep yearning, Lord, we look for Thy returning! Used With Tune: NICOLAI (WIE SCHÖN LEUCHTET DER MORGENSTERN)

For the healing of the nations

To a life of love in action help us rise and pledge our word. 2 Lead us forward into freedom, from despair your world release, that, redeemed from war and hatred, all may come and go in peace. Show us how through care and goodness fear will die and hope increase. 3 All that kills abundant living, let it from the earth be banned: pride of status, race or schooling, dogmas that obscure your plan. In our common quest for justice may we hallow life’s brief span. 4 You, Creator-God, have written your great name on humankind; for our growing in your likeness, bring the life of Christ to mind; that by our response and service earth its destiny may find. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 3:18 Used With Tune: ALLELUIA DULCE CARMEN
