Speak of peace, now says our God.
Comfort those who sit in darkness,
Mourning under sorrows' load.
Speak unto Jerusalem
Of the peace that waits for them.
Tell of all the sins I cover,
And that warfare now is over.
2 Hark, the voice of one who's crying
In the desert far and near,
Bidding all to full repentance
Since the kingdom now is here.
Oh, that warning cry obey!
Now prepare for God a way!
Let the valleys rise to meet him
And the hills bow down to greet him.
3 O make straight what long was crooked,
Make the rougher places plain.
Let your hearts be true and humble,
As befits his holy reign.
For the glory of the Lord
Now o'er earth is shed abroad.
And all flesh shall see the token
That his word is never broken. Topics: Advent Scripture: Isaiah 40:1-8 Used With Tune: GENEVA 42

Announces that the Lord is nigh;
Awake and harken, for he brings
Glad tidings of the King of kings.

Make straight the way for God within,
And let each heart prepare a home
Where such a mighty guest may come.
3 For you are our salvation, Lord,
Our refuge, and our great reward;
Without your grace we waste away
Like flow'rs that wither and decay.
4 To heal the sick stretch out your hand,
And bid the fallen sinner stand;
Shine forth and let your light restore
Earth's own true loveliness once more.
5 All praise to you, eternal Son,
Whose advent has our freedom won,
Whom with the Father we adore,
And Holy Spirit, evermore. Topics: Advent Used With Tune: WINCHESTER NEW

Pleased as man with us to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel. [Refrain]

Hail the Sun of Righteousness!

Ris'n with healing in his wings.

Born that we no more may die,
Born to raise us from the earth,
Born to give us second birth. [Refrain]

But little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes.
I love you, Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh.
3 Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask you to stay
Close by me forever, and love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear children in your tender care,
And fit us for heaven, to live with you there. Topics: Christmas Used With Tune: MUELLER

Angels We Have Heard on High
The First Nowell
Meter: Irregular Appears in 399 hymnals First Line: The first Nowell the angel did say Lyrics: 1 The first Nowell the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep,
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Refrain:
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell!
Born is the King of Israel.
2 They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east beyond them far;
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night. [Refrain]
3 And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from country far;
To seek for a king was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went. [Refrain]
4 This star drew nigh to the northwest,
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest;
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay. [Refrain]
5 Then entered in those wise men three,
Full rev'rently upon their knee,
And offered there in his presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense. [Refrain]
6 Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heav'nly Lord;
Who with the Father we adore
And Spirit blest for evermore. [Refrain] Topics: Epiphany of the Lord Used With Tune: THE FIRST NOWELL Text Sources: English Carol, 17th C.
