Thou, Jesus Christ, Didst Man Become

Author: Olaus Petri, 1497-1552 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #5a (1901) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Thou, Jesus Christ, didst man become From death us to deliver; Thy pitying eye beheld our doom, That we were lost forever; Thou gavest hope in direst need, When death and hell with gaping greed Were ready to devour us. 2 Thou couldst not bear that Satan's might Had in its grasp enslaved us: In pity thou didst for us fight, And hast in mercy saved us. From heaven Thou cam'st for our release, To purchase our eternal peace, By bitter death and suffering. 3 And Thou hast taught us in Thy Word That faith shall life inherit, For Thou art merciful, O Lord, And sav'st us by Thy merit, If we but simply do believe That all Thy children shall receive The blessings Thou hast promised. 4 Our brother Thou art now become-- An honor beyond measure! Thou wouldst our life with mercy crown, And give us richest treasure. The world's contempt we need not fear, God's Son is now our brother dear: What power can now destroy us? 5 All praise to Thee eternally, For all Thy gracious favor; We are God's children now with Thee, Lord Jesus Christ, our Saviour! Well may we one and all rejoice, And praise our God with heart and voice; He is our gracious Father. Topics: Advent Languages: English Tune Title: AUS TIEFER NOTH SCHREI ICH ZU DIR

Thy welcome shall proclaim; And heaven's eternal arches ring With Thy beloved Name, With Thy beloved Name. Topics: Advent Languages: English Tune Title: LOBT GOTT, IHR CHRISTEN

Arise, the Kingdom is at Hand

Author: Johann Rist, 1607-1667 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #7 (1901) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Arise, the kingdom is at hand, The King is drawing nigh; Arise with joy, thou faithful band, To meet the Lord most high, To meet the Lord most high. 2 Look up, ye souls weighed down with care, The Sovereign is not far; Look up, faint hearts, from your despair, Behold the morning star! Behold the morning star! 3 Look up, ye drooping hearts, to-day! The King is very near; Oh, cast your griefs and fears away, For lo, your Help is here! For lo, your Help is here! 4 Hope, O ye broken hearts, at last! The King comes on in might; He loved us in the ages past, When we lay wrapt in night, When we lay wrapt in night. 5 Now fear and wrath to joy give place, Now are our sorrows o'er, Since God hath made us in His grace His children evermore, His children evermore. 6 Oh, rich the gifts Thou bringest us! Thyself made poor and weak; Oh, love beyond compare that thus Can foes and sinners seek! Can foes and sinners seek! 7 For this we raise a gladsome voice On high to Thee alone, And evermore with thanks rejoice Before Thy glorious throne, Before Thy glorious throne. Amen.

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #8 (1901) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D First Line: Hail to the Lord's Anointed 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, Wee precious in His sight. 3 He shall come down like showers Upon the fruitful earth: And love, joy, hope, 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 For Him shall prayer unceasing And daily vows ascend; His kingdom still increasing, A kingdom without end. The tide of time shall never His covenant remove; His Name shall stand forever; That Name to us is Love. Amen. Topics: Advent Languages: English Tune Title: AURELIA

Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-1676 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #9 (1901) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D First Line: Oh! how shall I receive Thee Lyrics: 1 Oh! how shall I receive Thee, How greet Thee, Lord, aright? All nations long to see Thee, My Hope, my heart's Delight! Oh! kindle, Lord most holy, Thy lamp within my breast. To do in spirit lowly All that may please Thee best. 2 Thy Zion palms is strewing, And branches fresh and fair; My heart, its powers renewing. An anthem shall prepare. My soul puts off her sadness Thy glories to proclaim; With all her strength and gladness She fain would serve Thy Name. 3 I lay in fetters groaning, Thou com'st to set me free: I stood, my shame bemoaning, Thou com'st to honor me. A glory Thou dost give me, A treasure safe on high, That will not fail nor leave me As earthly riches fly. 4 Love caused Thine incarnation, Love brought Thee down to me; Thy thirst for my salvation Procured my liberty. Oh, love beyond all telling, That led Thee to embrace, In love all love excelling, Our lost and fallen race! 5 Rejoice, then, ye sad-hearted, Who sit in deepest gloom, Who mourn o'er joys departed, And tremble at your doom: He who alone can cheer you, Is standing at the door; He brings His pity near you, And bids you weep no more. Amen. Topics: Advent Languages: English Tune Title: O, DU MITT HJÄRTAS TRÄNGTAN
