Hark what a sound, and too divine for hearing

Author: Frederic W. H. Myers, 1843-1901 Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 23 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 5:7 Lyrics: 1 Hark what a sound, and too divine for hearing, stirs on the earth and trembles in the air! Is it the thunder of the Lord's appearing? Is it the music of his people's prayer? 2 Surely he cometh, and a thousand voices shout to the saints, and to the deaf are dumb; surely he cometh, and the earth rejoices, glad in his coming who hath sworn: I come! 3 This hath he done, and shall we not adore him? This shall he do, and can we still despair? come, let us quickly fling ourselves before him, cast at his feet the burden of our care. 4 Yea through life, death, through sorrow and through sinning, he shall suffice me, for he hath sufficed: Christ is the end, for Christ was the beginning, Christ the beginning, for the end is Christ.

When night descends in sable guise

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 16 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 5:8 Lyrics: 1 When night descends in sable guise, And spreads her gloom around, To close the weary traveller's eyes, And rest him on the ground, 2 Amidst the dreary desert wide, The wanderer faints to hear, The wild alarm on every side, Which speaks some danger near. 3 So in this wilderness of life, Whene'er afflictions come, We sink, as in a night of grief, Far from our sheltering home. 4 The tempter's, like a lion's roar, Sounds through the vale abroad, Then let us watch, and ever more Depend upon our God. 5 From every other help afar, And left without a friend, God is a helper ever near, And faithful to the end.

Arise, O Christian People

Author: Valentin Thilo, 1607-62; Arthur T. Russell, 1806-74 Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 5:5-6 First Line: Arise, O Christian people! Lyrics: 1 Arise, O Christian people! Prepare yourselves today; Prepare to greet the Savior, Who takes you sins away. To us by grace alone The truth and light were given; The promised Lord from heaven To all the world is shown. 2 Prepare the way before Him; Prepare for Him the best. Cast out what would offend Him, This great, this heav'nly guest. Make straight, make plain the way: The lowly valleys raising, The heights of pride abasing, His path, all even lay. 3 The humble heart and lowly God raises up on high; Beneath His feet in terror The haughty soul shall lie. The heart sincere and right, That heeds God's invitation And makes true preparation-- It is the Lord's delight. 4 Prepare my heart, Lord Jesus; Turn not from me aside, And help me to receive You This blessed Advent-tide. From stall and manger low Come now to dwell within me; I'll sing Your praises gladly And forth Your glory show. Used With Tune: AUS MEINES HERZENS GRUNDE
