Midnight's solemn hour is tolling, His chariot wheels are nearer rolling; He comes; prepare, ye virgins wise; Rise up with willing feet; Go forth, the Bridegroom meet; Alleluia! Bear through the night your well-trimmed light, Speed forth to join the marriage rite. 2 Zion hears the watchmen singing, And all her heart with joy is springing; She wakes, she rises from her gloom. Forth her Bridegroom comes, all-glorious, The strong in grace, in truth victorious; Her star is risen, her light is come. All hail, Thou precious One, Lord Jesus, God's dear Son! Alleluia! The joyful call we answer all, And follow to the nuptial hall. 3 Lamb of God, the heavens adore Thee, And men and angels sing before Thee, With harp and cymbal's clearest tone. By the pearly gates in wonder We stand, and swell the voice of thunder In bursts of choral melody. To mortal eyes and ears What glory now appears! Alleluia! We raise the song, we swell the throng, To praise Thee ages all along. Used With Tune: SLEEPERS, AWAKE

Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh

Author: Harriet Beecher Stowe, 1812-1896 Appears in 367 hymnals Topics: Abiding, presence of Christ Lyrics: 1 Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh, When the bird waketh, and the shadows flee, Fairer than morning, lovelier than daylight, Dawns the sweet consciousness, I am with Thee. 2 Alone with Thee, amid the mystic shadows, The solemn hush of nature newly born; Alone with Thee in breathless adoration, In the calm dew and freshness of the morn. 3 As in the dawning o'er the waveless ocean, The image of the morning-star doth rest, So in the stillness, Thou beholdest only Thine image in the waters of my breast. 4 Still, still with Thee! As to each newborn morning A fresh and solemn splendour still is given, So does this blessed consciousness, awaking, Breathe each day nearness unto Thee and heaven. 5 When sinks the soul, subdued by toil, to slumber, Its closing eyes look up to Thee in prayer; Sweet the repose beneath Thy wings o'ershading, But sweeter still, to wake and find Thee there. 6 So shall it be at last, in that bright morning, When the soul waketh, and life's shadows flee; O in that hour, fairer than daylight dawning, Shall rise the glorious thought I am with Thee.

You helped and guarded Mary as she laboured, bringing us Jesus. 4 Joseph, your anxious caring set you dreaming, dreams full of warning, dreams of death and danger. Trusting your spirit, you were quick and acted, saving your Jesus. 5 Joseph, your loving presence and protection prompted your son to share with his disciples his name for love most freeing, deep and faithful: 'Abba, dear father'. 6 Joseph, your spirit gives us hope and vision when life is crisis, chaos, or destruction: may we, like you, find, growing up among us, Christ's loving presence.
