God, Who Made the Earth and Heaven

Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826; William Mercer, 1811-1873; Richard Whately, 1787-1863 Hymnal: CWH2021 #787 (2021) Meter: 8.4.8.4.8.8.8.4 Tune Title: AR HYD Y NOS Lyrics: 1 God, who made the earth and heaven, darkness and light: you the day for work have given, for rest the night. May your angel guards defend us, slumber sweet your mercy send us, holy dreams and hopes attend us all through the night. 2 And when morn again shall call us to run life's way, may we still, whate'er befall us, your will obey. From the pow'r of evil hide us, in the narrow pathway guide us, never be your smile denied us all through the day. 3 Guard us waking, guard us sleeping, and, when we die, may we in your mighty keeping all peaceful lie. When the last dread call shall wake us, then, O Lord, do not forsake us, but to reign in glory take us with you on high. 4 Holy Father, throned in heaven, all-holy Son, Holy Spirit, freely given, blest Three in One: grant us grace, we now implore you, till we lay our crowns before you and in worthier strains adore you while ages run.

There's a Voice in the Wilderness Crying

Author: James L. Milligan, 1876-1961 Hymnal: CWH2021 #308 (2021) Meter: Irregular Tune Title: ASCENSION 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. Topics: Advent Scripture: Isaiah 40:3-11 Languages: English

Awake, My Heart, with Gladness

Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-1676; John Kelly, 1833-1890 Hymnal: CWH2021 #443 (2021) Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.6.6.6 Tune Title: AUF, AUF, MEIN HERZ Lyrics: 1 Awake, my heart, with gladness– see what today is done! Now, after gloom and sadness, comes forth the glorious sun. My Savior there was laid where our bed must be made when to the realms of light our spirit wings its flight. 2 The foe in triumph shouted when Christ lay in the tomb; but lo, he now is routed, his boast is turned to gloom. For Christ again is free; in glorious victory he who is strong to save has triumphed o'er the grave. 3 This is a sight that gladdens— what peace it does impart! Now nothing ever saddens the joy within my heart. No gloom shall ever shake, no foe shall ever take the hope which God's own Son in love for me has won. 4 Now I will cling forever to Christ, my Savior dear, My Lord will leave me never; with him I need not fear. He rends death's iron chain; he breaks through sin and pain. He shatters hell's dark thrall; I follow Him through all. 5 He brings me to the portal that leads to bliss untold, whereon this rhyme immortal is found in script of gold: "Who there my cross has shared finds here a crown prepared; who there with me has died shall here be glorified."

I Look Not Back

Author: Annie Johnson Flint, 1866-1932 Hymnal: CWH2021 #815 (2021) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Tune Title: AUFSEHEN First Line: I look not back; God knows the fruitless efforts Lyrics: 1 I look not back; God knows the fruitless efforts, the wasted hours, the sin, the deep regrets. I leave them all with him who blots the record, and graciously forgives, and then forgets. 2 I look not forward; God sees all the future, the road that, short or long, will lead me home, and he will face with me its ev'ry trial, and bear for me the burdens that may come. 3 I look not round me; then would fears assail me, so wild the waves of earth's unruly seas, so dark the world, so filled with woe and evil, so vain the hope of comfort and of ease. 4 I look not inward; that would make me wretched, for I have naught on which to stay my trust. I only see my failures and offenses, and weak endeavors, crumbling into dust. 5 But I look up into the face of Jesus, for there my heart can rest, my fears are stilled; and there is joy, and love, and light for darkness, and perfect peace, and ev'ry hope fulfilled.

I lay my griefs on Jesus, my burdens and my cares; he from them all releases, he all my sorrows shares. 3 I rest my soul on Jesus, this weary soul of mine; his right hand me embraces, I in his arms recline. I love the name of Jesus, Immanuel, Christ, the Lord; like fragrance on the breezes his name abroad is poured. 4 I long to be like Jesus, meek, loving, lowly, mild; I long to be like Jesus, the Father's holy child. I long to be with Jesus amid the heav'nly throng, to sing with saints his praises, to learn the angels' song. Topics: Trust Scripture: Isaiah 53:4-7 Languages: English

Haughwout, 1873-1952 Hymnal: CWH2021 #855 (2021) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Tune Title: AURELIA First Line: The Church's one foundation (Un solo fundamento) Lyrics: 1 The Church's one foundation is Jesus Christ, her Lord; she is his new creation by water and the Word. From heav'n he came and sought her to be his holy bride; with his own blood he bought her, and for her life he died. 2 Elect from ev'ry nation, yet one o'er all the earth; her charter of salvation: one Lord, one faith, one birth. One holy name she blesses, partakes one holy food, and to one hope she presses, with ev'ry grace endued. 3 The Church shall never perish. Her dear Lord to defend, to guide, sustain, and cherish, is with her to the end. Tho' there be those that hate her and strive to see her fail, against both foe and traitor she ever shall prevail. 4 Tho' with a scornful wonder the world sees her oppressed, by schisms rent asunder, by heresies distressed, yet saints their watch are keeping; their cry goes up, "How long?" and soon the night of weeping shall be the morn of song. 5 'Mid toil and tribulation and tumult of her war she waits the consummation of peace forevermore till with the vision glorious her longing eyes are blest, and the great Church victorious shall be the Church at rest. --- SPANISH - 1 Un solo fundamento y un sólo un fundador la santa iglesia tiene en Cristo, su Señor, haciéndola su esposa, del cielo descendió, y por su propia sangre su libertad compró. 2 Aunque es de muchas razas, disfruta de unidad: sólo una fe confiesa en santa caridad; es uno su bautismo, un pan de santidad; por gracia siempre espera una felicidad. 3 El mundo la contempla pasmado y con desdén: de cismas desgarrada, de error y por vaivén. Mas santos de vigilia no cesan en su orar, y pronto por la noche oirán gozo y cantar. 4 Cercada de tumultos, de guerra y confusión, la paz eterna espera, serena en su visión; al fin, ya victoriosa, la iglesia terrenal recibe por su premio descanso celestial. 5 Mas ella aquí disfruta celeste comunión con Dios y con los santos en paz y perfección. Jesús, cabeza nuestra, concédenos lugar con los que habitan siempre en tu celeste hogar. Topics: Church Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:11 Languages: English; Spanish

Russell, 1806-1874; Unknown Hymnal: CWH2021 #310 (2021) Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Tune Title: AUS MEINES HERZENS GRUNDE 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. Topics: Advent Scripture: Luke 3:4-5 Languages: English
