The prophets spoke of mercy, of freedom and release, God shall fulfill the promise and bring the people peace. 2 God from the house of David a child of grace is given; a Savior comes among us to raise us up to heaven. Before him goes the herald, forerunner in the way, the prophet of salvation, the harbinger of day. 3 On those who sit in darkness the sun begins to rise, the dawning of forgiveness upon the sinner’s eyes, God guides the feet of pilgrims along the paths of peace. O bless our God and Savior with songs that never cease! Scripture: Luke 1:5-23 Languages: English Tune Title: MERLE'S TUNE

Rejoice in God, the word commands

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #398 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Complaint under Darkness Lyrics: 1 Rejoice in God, the word commands, And fain would I obey; Yet still my spirit lingering stands, While doubts impede my way. 2 How can my soul exult for joy, Which feels this load of sin? And how can praise my tongue employ, While darkness reigns within? 3 Whence should my lips give rapture birth, When I no rapture feel? Or how should notes of heavenly mirth, Sound from a breast of steel? 4 If falling tears and rising sighs, In triumph share a part; Then, Lord, behold these streaming eyes, And search this bleeding heart! 5 My soul forgets to use her wings; My harp neglected lies; For sin has broken all its strings, And guilt shuts out my joys. 6 The power, the sweetness, of thy voice, Alone my heart can move; Make me in Christ my Lord rejoice, And melt my soul to love.

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #451 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Hope in darkness; Patience in darkness Lyrics: Long have I sat beneath the sound Of thy salvation, Lord; But still how weak my faith is found, And knowledge of thy word! Oft I frequent thy holy place, And hear almost in vain; How small a portion of thy grace My memory can retain! [My dear Almighty, and my God, How little art thou known By all the judgments of thy rod, And blessings of thy throne!] How cold and feeble is my love! How negligent my fear! How low my hope of joys above! How few affections there! Great God! thy sovereign power impart To give thy word success; Write thy salvation in my heart, And make me learn thy grace. [Show my forgetful feet the way That leads to joys on high; There knowledge grows without decay, And love shall never die.] Scripture: Psalm 77 Languages: English

Why should this earth delight us so?

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #458 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Hope in darkness; Patience in darkness Lyrics: Why should this earth delight us so? Why should we fix our eyes On these low grounds where sorrows grow, And every pleasure dies ? While time his sharpest teeth prepares Our comforts to devour, There is a land above the stars, And joys above his power. Nature shall be dissolved and die, The sun must end his race, The earth and sea for ever fly Before my Savior's face. When will that glorious morning rise? When the last trumpet sound, And call the nations to the skies, From underneath the ground? Scripture: Psalm 77 Languages: English
