Savior of the Nations, Come

Author: Ambrose of Milan, 340-397; Martin Luther, 1483-1546; William M. Reynolds, 1812-1876 Hymnal: CWH2021 #301 (2021) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Savior of the nations, come; virgin's Son, make here your home. Marvel now, O heav'n and earth, that the Lord chose such a birth. 2 Not by human flesh and blood, by the spirit of our God was the Word of God made flesh, woman's offspring, pure and fresh. 3 Wondrous birth! O wondrous Child of the virgin undefiled, though by all the world disowned, still to be in heav'n enthroned. 4 From the Father's throne he came and ascended to the same, captive leading death and hell. High the song of triumph swell! 5 Praise to God the Father sing, praise to God the Son, our King, praise to God the Spirit be ever and eternally.

When the King Shall Come Again

Author: Christopher M. Idle, b. 1938 Hymnal: CWH2021 #307 (2021) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 When the King shall come again, all his pow'r revealing, splendor shall announce his reign, life and joy and healing, earth no longer in decay, hope no more frustrated. This is God's redemption day longingly awaited. 2 In the desert trees take root, fresh from his creation; plants and flow'rs and sweetest fruit join the celebration. Rivers spring up from the earth, barren lands adorning. Valleys, this is your new birth; mountains, greet the morning! 3 Strengthen feeble hands and knees, fainting hearts be cheerful! God, who comes for such as these, seeks and saves the fearful. Deaf ears, hear the silent tongues sing away their weeping; blind eyes, see the lifeless ones walking, running, leaping. 4 There God's highway shall be seen where no roaring lion, nothing evil or unclean Walks the road to Zion. Ransomed people, homeward bound, all your praises voicing, see your Lord with glory crowned; share in his rejoicing!

There's a Voice in the Wilderness Crying

Author: James L. Milligan, 1876-1961 Hymnal: CWH2021 #308 (2021) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 There’s a voice in the wilderness crying, a call from the ways untrod: Prepare in the desert a highway, a highway for our God! The valleys shall be exalted, the lofty hills brought low; make straight all the crooked places where the Lord, our God, may go! 2 O Christians, you bring good tidings; get up to the heights and sing! Proclaim to a desolate people the coming of their King. Like the flow'rs of the field they perish; like grass our works decay. The pow'r and pomp of nations shall pass like a dream away. 3 But the Word of our God is eternal; the arm of our God is strong. He stands in the midst of the nations, and he shall right the wrong. He shall feed his flock like a shepherd, the lambs shall gently hold, to pastures of peace shall lead them, and bring them to his fold.

Arise, O Christian People

Author: Valentin Thilo, 1607-1662; Arthur T. Russell, 1806-1874; Unknown Hymnal: CWH2021 #310 (2021) Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 First Line: Arise, O Christian people! Lyrics: 1 Arise, O Christian people! Prepare yourselves today; prepare to greet the Savior, who takes your 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.
