We come, Lord, to Thy feet

Lift up the Advent strain!

Hymnal: VoP1883 #37 (1883) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Lift up the Advent strain! Behold the Lord is nigh! Greet His approach, ye saints, again, With hymns of holy joy. 2 The everlasting Son, Incarnate deigns to be; Our God the form of slave puts on, A race of slaves to free. 3 Daughter of Sion, rise To meet Thy lowly King. Nor let the faithless heart despise The peace He comes to bring. 4 As Judge in clouds of light He shall come down again, And all His scattered saints unite With Him in Heaven to reign. 5 Before that dreadful day May all our sins be gone, The old man all be put away, The new man all put on. 6 Jesus, all praise to Thee, Our joy and endless rest; We pray Thee here our Guide to be Our crown amid the blest. Amen. Topics: Our Lord Jesus Christ His Advent; Festivals Languages: English Tune Title: GOSS

We give Thee but Thine own

Hymnal: VoP1883 #124 (1883) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 We give Thee but Thine own, Whate'er the gift may be; All that we have is Thine alone, A trust, O Lord, from Thee. 2 May we Thy bounties thus As stewards true receive, And gladly, as Thou blessest us, To Thee our first fruits give. 3 O! hearts are bruised and dead, And homes are bare and cold, And lambs for whom the Shepherd bled, Are straying from the fold. 4 To comfort and to bless, To find a balm for woe, To tend the lone and fatherless Is angel's work below. 5 The captive to release, To God the lost to bring, To teach the way of life and peace, It is a Christ-like thing. 6 And we believe Thy Word, Though dim our faith may be; Whate'er for Thine we do, O Lord, We do it unto Thee. Amen. Topics: Offerings Languages: English Tune Title: TELLEFSEN

Fair waved the golden corn

Hymnal: VoP1883 #225 (1883) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Fair waved the golden corn In Canaan's pleasant land, When full of joy some shining morn, Went forth the reaperband. 2 To God so good and great Their cheerful thanks they pour; Then carry to His temple-gate The choicest of their store. 3 Like Israel, Lord, we give Our earliest fruits to Thee, And pray that, long as we shall live, We may Thy children be. 4 Thine is our youthful prime, And life and all its powers; Be with us in our morning time, And bless our evening hours. 5 In wisdom let us grow, As years and strength are given, That we may serve Thy Church below, And join Thy saints in heaven. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: HOLYROOD

It came upon the midnight clear

Hymnal: VoP1883 #45 (1883) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth, To touch their harps of gold: "Peace on the earth, good-will to men From heaven's all gracious King;" The world in solemn stillness lay To hear the angels sing. 2 Still through the cloven skies they come, With peaceful wings unfurl'd; And still their heavenly music floats O'er all the weary world: Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on hovering wing, And ever o'er its Babel sounds The blessed angels sing. 3 O ye beneath life's crushing load, Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way, With painful steps and slow! Look now, for glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing; O rest beside the weary road, And hear the angels sing. 4 For lo, the days are hastening on, By prophets seen of old, When with the ever-circling years Shall come the time foretold. When the new heaven and earth shall own The Prince of Peace their King, And the whole world send back the song Which now the angels sing. Amen.

While shepherds watch'd their flocks by night

Hymnal: VoP1883 #48 (1883) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 While shepherds watch'd their flocks by night, All seated on the ground, The angel of the Lord came down, And glory shone around. "Fear not," said he, for mighty dread Had seized their troubled mind, "Glad tidings of great joy I bring To you and all mankind. 2 "To you, in David's town this day Is born of David's line, The Saviour, who is Christ the Lord, And this shall be the sign. "The heavenly Babe you there shall find, To human view display'd, All meanly wrapt in swathing bands, And in a manger laid." 3 Thus spake the seraph: and forthwith Appeared a shining throng Of angels, praising God, who thus Address'd their joyful song: "All glory be to God on high, And to the earth be peace; Good-will henceforth from heaven to men Begin, and never cease." Amen. Topics: Our Lord Jesus Christ Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: GABRIEL

How bright these glorious spirits shine!

Hymnal: VoP1883 #99 (1883) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 How bright these glorious spirits shine! Whence all their white array? How came they to the blissful seats Of everlasting day? Lo, these are they, from sufferings great, Who came to realms of light; And in the blood of Christ have wash'd Those robes which shine so bright. 2 Now with triumphal palms they stand Before the throne on high, And serve the God they love amidst The glories of the sky. His presence fills each heart with joy, Tunes every mouth to sing; By day, by night, the sacred courts With glad hosannas ring. 3 The Lamb, which reigns upon the throne, Shall o'er them still preside; Feed them with nourishment divine, And all their footsteps guide. 'Mong pastures green He'll lead His flock, Where living streams appear; And God the Lord from every eye Shall wipe off every tear. Amen. Topics: Apostles and Saints Languages: English Tune Title: S.
