I place myself in Jesus' hands

Author: C. J. P. Spitta Hymnal: LHPN1913 #163 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 I place myself in Jesus' hands, And there abide for ever; No griefs, no joys, shall loose the bands, Nor our sweet union sever; In those dread days When earth decays, Who stays on Him, and whom He stays, Shall be preserved for ever. 2 A rock and castle is the Lord, And they shall see and wonder Who build on His almighty word, And thereon deeply ponder; And what He saith, In life and death, My heart shall trust with steadfast faith, Though earth be rent asunder. 3 Let Him do with me what He will, He cannot fail to please me, I cleave to Him with strong faith still, And hope that He will bless me: He must be blest Who loves Him best, And on His word doth firmly rest; Lord, with this truth impress me. 4 When things are at their worst, I will Still joy in His protection, Who loves to bring out good from ill, And grieves in my affliction: His trials sent Are all well meant, His blows a Father's chastisement, And tokens of affection. 5 My confidence unshaken stands Upon His blessed promise, That none shall pluck us from His hands, Nor any foe o'ercome us. He will not break The word He spake, He will not leave us, nor forsake, Nor take His Spirit from us.

Hark! a thrilling voice is sounding

Author: Anon. Hymnal: LHPN1913 #164 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Hark! a thrilling voice is sounding: "Christ is nigh," we hear it say; "Cast away the works of darkness, O ye children of the day!" 2 Wakened by the solemn warning, Let the earth-bound soul arise; All the powers of darkness vanish; Christ, our Day-star, mounts the skies. 3 Lo, the Lamb, so long expected, Comes with pardon down from heaven. Let us haste, with tears of sorrow, One and all, to be forgiven. 4 So, when next He shines with glory, Wrapping all the earth in fear, Not for chastening, but salvation Unto us He shall appear. 5 Honor, glory, might, dominion, To the Father and the Son, With the everlasting Spirit, While eternal ages run.

Christians, prayer may well employ you

Author: W. E. Arends Hymnal: LHPN1913 #165 (1913) Meter: 8.9.8.8.9.8.6.6.4.4.4.8 Lyrics: 1 Christians, prayer may well employ you, The powers of darkness would destroy you: Yea, Satan's self has planned your fall, Wield God's word, a weapon glorious, Against each foe; and soon victorious Our God will make you o'er them all. Is Satan strong and fell? Here is Immanuel. Sing Hosanna! The strong ones yield, With Christ our shield, And we as conquerors hold the field. 2 Cast afar this world's vain pleasures, Aye, boldly fight for heavenly treasures, And steadfast be in Jesus' might, He will help, whate'er betide you: And naught will harm with Christ beside you: Be faith you'll conquer in the fight. Then shame, O weary soul! Look forth toward the goal: There joy waits you. The race then run, The combat done, Your crown of glory will be won. 3 Wisely fight, for time is fleeting, The hours of grace are swift retreating! And life is shortest to the wise. When the trump the dead is waking, And sinners all with fear are quaking, Then will the saints with joy arise. Bless God: our triumph's sure, Though long we did endure Scorn and trial. Thou, Son of God, To Thy abode Wilt lead the way Thyself hast trod. 4 Jesus, all Thy children cherish, And keep them that they never perish, Whom Thou hast purchased with Thy blood. Give new life, that our desiring Be ever heavenward aspiring, For what is holy, true and good. Thy Spirit on us pour, That we may love Thee more-- Hearts o'erflowing: And then will we Be true to Thee In death and life eternally.

Lo, He comes with clouds descending

Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: LHPN1913 #166 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Lyrics: 1 Lo, He comes with clouds descending, Once for our salvation slain; Thousand angel-hosts attending Swell the triumph of His train: Hallelujah!

See the day of God appear. 4 Yea, Amen, let all adore Thee, High on Thine eternal throne; Savior, take the power and glory; Claim the kingdoms for Thine own: Hallelujah! Thou shalt reign, and Thou alone! Topics: The Church Year Third Sunday in Advent; The Church Year Third Sunday in Advent; Second Coming of Christ Tune Title: [Lo, He comes with clouds descending]

The only Son from heaven

Author: Elizabeth Cruciger Hymnal: LHPN1913 #167 (1913) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.6 Lyrics: 1 The only Son from heaven, Foretold by ancient seers, By God, the Father, given, In human form appears; No sphere His light confining, No star so brightly shining As He, our Morning Star. 2 O time of God appointed, O bright and holy morn! He comes, the King anointed, The Christ, the virgin-born; His home on earth He maketh, And man of heaven partaketh, Of life again an heir. 3 O Lord, our hearts awaken, To know and love Thee more, In faith to stand unshaken, In Spirit to adore, That we still heavenward hasting, Yet here Thy joy foretasting May reap its fulness there.

Hail to the Lord's Anointed

Author: J. Montgomery Hymnal: LHPN1913 #168 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Lord's Anointed, Great David's greater Son! Hail, in the time appointed, His reign on earth begun! He comes to break oppression, To set the captive free, To take away transgression And rule in equity. 2 He comes with succor speedy To those who suffer wrong; To help the poor and needy, And bid the weak be strong; To give them songs for sighing; Their darkness turn to light, Whose souls, condemned and dying, Were precious in His sight. 3 He shall come down like showers Upon the fruitful earth; And love and joy, like flowers, Spring in His path to birth. Before Him, on the mountains, Shall peace, the herald, go; And righteousness, in fountains, From hill to valley flow. 4 Kings shall fall down before Him, And gold and incense bring; All nations shall adore Him, His praise all people sing; For He shall have dominion O'er river, sea and shore, Far as the eagle's pinion Or dove's light wing can soar. 5 For Him shall prayer unceasing And daily vows ascend; His kingdom still increasing A kingdom without end. The mountain-dews shall nourish A seed in weakness sown, Whose fruit shall spread and flourish And shake like Lebanon. 6 O'er ev'ry foe victorious, He on His throne shall rest, From age to age more glorious, All-blessing and all-blest. The tide of time shall never His covenant remove; His name shall stand for ever; That name to us is love!

Comfort, comfort ye my people

Author: J. Olearius Hymnal: LHPN1913 #170 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Comfort, comfort ye my people, Speak ye peace, thus saith our God; Comfort those who sit in darkness, Mourning ’neath their sorrows' load. Speak ye to Jerusalem Of the peace that waits for them; Tell her that her sins I cover, And her warfare now is over. 2 Yea, her sins our God will pardon, Blotting out each dark misdeed; All which well deserved His anger He will no more see or heed. She has suffered many a day, Now her griefs have passed away, God will change her pining sadness Into ever springing gladness. 3 For the herald’s voice is crying In the desert far and near, Bidding all men to repentance, Since the kingdom now is here. O that warning cry obey! Now prepare for God a way; Let the valleys rise to meet Him, And the hills bow down to greet Him. 4 Make ye straight what long was crooked, Make the rougher places plain, Let your hearts be true and humble, As befits His holy reign. For the glory of the Lord Now o’er earth is shed abroad, And all flesh shall see the token That His Word is never broken.
