Rejoice, all ye believers

Author: Jane Borthwick; Laurentius Laurenti Meter: 7.6 Appears in 336 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, all ye believers, And let your lights appear! The evening is advancing, And darker night is near. The Bridegroom is arising, And soon He draweth nigh, Up! pray and watch, and wrestle-- At midnight comes the cry! 2 The watchers on the mountain Proclaim the Bridegroom near; Go meet Him as He cometh, With hallelujahs clear. The marriage feast is waiting, The gates wide-open stand; Up, up, ye heirs of glory; The Bridegroom is at hand! 3 Ye saints, who here in patience Your cross and sufferings bore, Shall live and reign for ever, When sorrow is no more. Around the throne of glory The Lamb ye shall behold, In triumph cast before Him Your diadems of gold! 4 Our Hope and Expectation, O Jesus, now appear; Arise, Thou Sun so longed for, O'er this benighted sphere! With hearts and hands uplifted, We plead, O Lord, to see The day of earth’s redemption, That brings us unto Thee! Topics: Advent; Advent, First Sunday Used With Tune: ICH DANK' DIE LIEBER HERRE

Let Me Be Thine Forever

Author: N. Selnecker, 1532-92 ; M. Loy, 1828-1915 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 56 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let me be Thine forever, Thou faithful God and Lord; Let me forsake Thee never Nor wander from Thy Word. Lord, do not let me waver, But give me steadfastness, And for such grace forever Thy holy name I'll bless. 2 Lord Jesus, my Salvation, My Light, my Life divine, My only Consolation, Oh, make me wholly Thine, For Thou hast dearly bought me With blood and bitter pain. Let me, since Thou hast sought me, Eternal life obtain. 3 And Thou, O Holy Spirit, My Comforter and Guide, Grant that in Jesus' merit I always may confide, Him to the end confessing Whom I have known by faith. Give me Thy constant blessing And grant a Christian death.

O One with God the Father

Author: W. W. How Appears in 65 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O One with God the Father, In majesty and might, The brightness of His glory, Eternal Light of light, O'er this our home of darkness Thy rays are streaming now; The shadows flee before Thee; The world's true light art Thou. 2 Yet, Lord, we see but darkly: O heavenly Light, arise, Dispel these mists that shroud us, And hide Thee from our eyes. We long to track the footprints That Thou Thyself hast trod: We long to see the pathway That leads to Thee, our God. 3 O Jesus, shine around us With radiance of Thy grace; O Jesus, turn upon us The brightness of Thy face. We need no star to guide us, As on our way we press, If Thou Thy light vouchsafest, O Sun of righteousness.
