On this day, the first of days

Author: H. Baker Hymnal: CHRC1920 #31 (1920) Lyrics: 1 On this day, the first of days, God the Father's Name we praise; Who, creation's Lord and Spring, Did the world from darkness bring. 2 On this day, th' Eternal Son Over death His triumph won; On this day the Spirit came With His gifts of living flame. 3 O that fervent love to-day May in every heart have sway, Teaching us to praise aright God, the Source of life and light. 4 Father, Who didst fashion me Image of Thyself to be, Fill me with Thy love divine, Let my every thought be Thine. 5 Thou, Who dost all gifts impart, Shine, blest Spirit, in my heart; Best of gifts Thy love bestow; Make me burn Thy love to know. 6 God, the blessed Three in One, Dwell within my heart alone; Thou dost give Thyself to me, May I give myself to Thee.

Sweet is the work, my God, my King

Author: I. Watts Hymnal: CHRC1920 #32 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Sweet is the work, my God, my King, To praise Thy Name, give thanks, and sing; To show Thy love by morning light, And talk of all Thy truth at night. 2 Sweet is the day of sacred rest; No mortal cares shll seize my breast; O may my heart in tune be found, Like David's harp of solemn sound! 3 My heart shall triumph in my Lord, And bless His works, and bless His word; His works of grace, how bright they shine! How deep His counsels, how divine! 4 I then shall share a glorious part, When grace hath well refined my heart, And fresh supplies of joy are shed, Like holy oil, to cheer my head. 5 Then shall I see, and hear, and know, All I desired or wished below; And every power find sweet employ In that eternal world of joy.

Saviour, again to Thy dear Name we raise

Author: J. Ellerton Hymnal: CHRC1920 #33 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Saviour, again to Thy dear Name we raise With one accord our parting hymn of praise; We stand to bless Thee ere our worship cease, Then, lowly kneeling, wait Thy word of peace. 2 Grant us Thy peace through this approaching night, Turn Thou for us its darkness into light; From harm and danger keep Thy children free, For dark and light are both alike to Thee. 3 Grant us Thy peace upon our homeward way; With Thee began, with Thee shall end the day; Guard Thou the lips from sin, the hearts from shame, That in this house have called upon Thy Name. 4 Grant us Thy peace throughout our earthly life, Our balm in sorrow, and our stay in strife; Then, when Thy voice shall bid our conflict cease, Call us, O Lord, to Thine eternal peace.

Julian Hymnal: CHRC1920 #35 (1920) First Line: Hark! the voice Eternal Lyrics: 1 Hark! the voice Eternal, Robed in majesty, Calling into being Earth and sea and sky, Hark! in countless numbers, All the angel throng, Hail creation's morning With one burst of song. High in regal glory, 'Mid eternal light, Reign, O King Immortal, Holy, Infinite. 2 Bright the world and glorious, Calm both earth and sea, Noble in its grandeur Stood man's purity; Came the great transgression, Came the sadd'ning fall, Death and desolation Breathing over all. Still in regal glory, 'Mid eternal light, Reign'd the King Immortal, Holy, Infinite. 3 Jesus! Lord and Master, Prophet, Priest and King, To Thy feet, triumphant, Hallowed praise we bring. Thine the pain and weeping, Thine the victory. Power, and praise, and honour, Be, O Lord to Thee.

Sadly closed the evening Of His hallowed life, As the noontide darkness Veiled the last dread strife. Lo! again in glory, 'Mid eternal light, Reigns the King Immortal, Holy, Infinite. 5 Lo! again He cometh, Robed in clouds of light, As the Judge Eternal, Armed with power and might. Nations to His footstool Gathered then shall be; Earth shall yield her treasures, And her dead, the sea. Till the trumpet soundeth, 'Mid eternal light Reign, Thou King Immortal, Holy, Infinite.

Day of Wrath! O Day of mourning!

Hymnal: CHRC1920 #36 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Day of Wrath! O Day of mourning! See fulfill'd the prophets' warning, Heav'n and earth in ashes burning! 2 O what fear man's bosom rendeth, When from Heav'n the Judge descendeth, On Whose sentence all dependeth! 3 Wondrous sound the trumpet flingeth; Through earth's sepulchres it ringeth; All before the throne it bringeth. 4 Death is struck, and nature quaking, All creation is awaking, To its Judge an answer making. 5 Lo! the Book exactly worded, Wherein all hath been recorded: Thence shall judgment be awarded. 6 When the Judge His seat attaineth, And each hidden deed arraigneth, Nothing unavenged remaineth. 7 What shall I, frail man, be pleading? Who for me be interceding, When the just are mercy needing? 8 King of Majesty tremendous, Who dost free salvation send us, Fount of pity, then befriend us! 9 Think, good Jesu, my salvation Cost Thy wondrous Incarnation; Leave me not to reprobation! 10 Faint and weary, Thou hast sought me, On the Cross of suffering bought me. Shall such grace be vainly brought me? 11 Righteous Judge! for sin's pollution Grant Thy gift of absolution, Ere that day of retribution. 12 Guilty, now I pour my moaning, All my shame with anguish owning; Spare, O God, Thy suppliant groaning! 13 Thou the sinful woman saved'st; Thou the dying thief forgavest; And to me a hope vouchsafest. 14 Worthless are my prayers and sighing, Yet, good Lord, in grace complying, Rescue me from fires undying!

Great God, what do I see and hear!

Author: W. B. Collyer; J. Cotterill Hymnal: CHRC1920 #37 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Great God, what do I see and hear! The end of things created! The Judge of mankind doth appear On clouds of glory seated! The trumpet sounds: the graves restore The dead which they contained before; Prepare, my soul, to meet Him! 2 The dead in Christ shall first arise At the last trumpet's sounding, Caught up to meet Him in the skies, With joy their Lord surrounding: No gloomy fears their souls dismay, His presence sheds eternal day On those prepared to meet Him. 3 But sinners, filled with guilty fears, Behold His wrath prevailing; For they shall rise and find their tears And sighs are unavailing: The day of grace is past and gone; Trembling, they stand before the throne, All unprepared to meet Him. 4 Great God, to Thee my spirit clings, Thy boundless love declaring; One wondrous sight my comfort brings, The Judge my nature wearing. Beneath His Cross I view the day When heaven and earth shall pass away, And thus prepare to meet Him. Topics: The Christian Year Advent Languages: English Tune Title: LUTHER'S HYMN

Lo! He comes with clouds descending

Author: J. Cennick; C. Wesley; M. Madan Hymnal: CHRC1920 #38 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Lo! He comes with clouds descending, Once for favoured sinners slain; Thousand thousand saints attending Swell the triumph of His train; Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Christ appears on earth again. 2 Every eye shall now behold Him Robed in dreadful majesty; Those who set at nought and sold Him, Pierced and nailed Him to the tree, Deeply wailing, Shall the true Messiah see. 3 Those dear tokens of His Passion Still His dazzling body bears, Cause of endless exultation To His ransomed worshippers: With what rapture Gaze we on those glorious scars! 4 Now redemption, long expected, See in solemn pomp appear; All His saints, by man rejected, Now shall meet Him in the air: Alleluia! See the day of God appear. 5 Yea, amen, let all adore Thee, High on Thine eternal throne; Saviour, take the power and glory, Claim the kingdom for Thine own: Alleluia! Thou shalt reign, and Thou alone. Topics: The Christian Year Advent Languages: English Tune Title: HELMSLEY

Wake, awake, for night is flying

Author: P. Nicolai Hymnal: CHRC1920 #39 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Awake, awake, for night is flying; The watchmen on the heights are crying; Awake, Jerusalem, arise! Midnight's solemn hour is tolling, His chariot wheels are nearer rolling He comes; prepare, ye virgins wise. Rise up; with willing feet Go forth, the Bridegroom meet: Alleluia! Bear thro' the night your well-trimm'd light, Speed forth to join the marriage rite. 2 Sion hears the watchmen singing, Her heart with deep delight is springing, She wakes, she rises from her gloom: Forth her Bridegroom comes, all-glorious, In grace arrayed, by truth victorious; Her Star is risen, her Light is come! All hail, Incarnate Lord, Our crown, and our reward! Alleluia! We haste along, in pomp of song, And gladsome join the marriage throng. 3 Lamb of God, the heavens adore Thee, And men and angels sing before Thee, With harp and cymbal's clearest tone. By the pearly gates in wonder We stand, and swell the voice of thunder, That echoes round Thy dazzling throne. No vision ever brought, No ear hath ever caught, Such bliss and joy: We raise the song, we swell the throng, To praise Thee ages all along.

The King shall come when morning dawns

Author: J. Brownlie Hymnal: CHRC1920 #40 (1920) Lyrics: 1 The King shall come when morning dawns, And light triumphant breaks; When beauty gilds the Eastern hills, And life to joy awakes. 2 Not as of old a little child To bear, and fight, and die, But crowned with glory like the sun That lights the morning sky. 3 O brighter than the rising morn When He, victorious, rose, And left the lonesome place of death, Despite the rage of foes; 4 O brighter than that glorious morn Shall this fair morning be, When Christ, our King, in beauty comes, And we His face shall see. 5 The King shall come when morning dawns, And earth's dark night is past; O haste the rising of that morn, The day that aye shall last; 6 And let the endless bliss begin, By weary saints foretold, When right shall triumph over wrong, And truth shall be extolled. 7 The King shall come when morning dawns, And light and beauty brings: Hail, Christ the Lord! Thy people pray, Come quickly, King of kings. Topics: The Christian Year Advent Languages: English Tune Title: NEWMAN
