Hail to God's Own Anointed
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Voices United #30 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: The Christian Year Advent; Christian Year Advent Lyrics: 1 Hail to God's own anointed,
great David's greater Son!
Hail, in the time appointed,
God's reign on earth begun!
Christ comes to break oppression,
to set the captive free;
to take away transgression,
and rule in equity.
2 Christ comes with justice surely
to those who suffer wrong,
to help the poor and needy,
and bid the weak be strong,
to give them songs for sighing,
their darkness turn to light,
whose souls, condemned and dying,
are precious in his sight.
3 Christ shall come down like showers
upon the fruitful earth,
and love, joy, hope, like flowers,
spring in his path to birth.
Before him on the mountains
shall peace, the herald, go,
and righteousness in fountains
from hill to valley flow.
4 To him shall prayer unceasing
and daily vows ascend,
his kingdom still increasing,
a kingdom without end.
The tide of time shall never
his covenant remove.
His name shall stand for ever:
that name to us is Love.

Hark, the Glad Sound
Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: Voices United #29 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Year Advent; Christian Year Advent First Line: Hark, the glad sound! The Saviour comes Lyrics: 1 Hark, the glad sound! The Saviour comes,
the Saviour promised long:
let every heart prepare a throne;
and every voice a song.
2 He comes, the prisoners to release
in Satan's bondage held;
the gates of brass before him burst,
the iron fetters yield.
3 He comes, the broken heart to bind,
the bleeding soul to cure;
and with the treasures of his grace
to enrich the humble poor.
4 Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace,
your welcome shall proclaim;
and heaven's eternal arches ring
with your beloved name. Languages: English Tune Title: RICHMOND

Of the Father's Love Begotten
Author: John Mason Neale; Aurelius Clemens Prudentius Hymnal: Voices United #61 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7.7 Topics: Christian Year Advent Lyrics: 1 Of the Father's love begotten,
ere the worlds began to be,
Christ is Alpha and Omega,
Christ the source, the ending he,
of the things that are and have been,
and that future years shall see,
evermore and evermore.
2 At his word the worlds were framed.
He commanded, it was done:
heaven and earth and depths of ocean
in their threefold order one;
all that grows beneath the shining
of the moon and burning sun,
evermore and evermore.
3 O that birth for ever blessèd!
When the Virgin, full of grace,
by the Holy Ghost conceiving,
bare the Saviour of our race,
and the babe, the world's redeemer,
first revealed his sacred face,
evermore and evermore.
4 This is he whom seers in old time
chanted of with one accord,
whom the voices of the prophets
promised in their faithful word;
now he shines, the long-expected;
let creation praise its Lord,
evermore and evermore.
5 O ye heights of heaven, adore him;
angel hosts, his praises sing;
powers, dominions, bow before him,
and extol our God and King;
let no tongue on earth be silent,
every voice in concert ring,
evermore and evermore.
6 Christ, to thee with God most blessèd,
and, O Holy Ghost, to thee,
hymn and chant and high thanksgiving,
and unwearied praises be,
honour, glory, and dominion
and eternal victory,
evermore and evermore. Languages: English Tune Title: DIVINUM MYSTERIUM

Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence (Lorsque les mortels, en silence frémiront)
Author: Gerard Moultrie; G. de Lioncourt Hymnal: Voices United #473 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Christian Year Advent Lyrics: 1 Let all mortal flesh keep silence,
and with awe and reverence stand;
ponder nothing earthly minded,
for with blessing in his hand
Christ our God to us approacheth
our full homage to demand.
2 King of kings, yet born of Mary,
as of old on earth he stood,
Lord of lords, in human vesture,
in the body and the blood,
he will give to all the faithful
his own self for heavenly food.
3 Rank on rank the host of heaven
spreads its vanguard on the way.
as the Light of light descendeth
from the realms of endless day,
that the powers of hell may vanish
as the darkness clears away.
4 At his feet the six-winged seraph;
cherubim with sleepless eye
veil their faces to the presence,
as with ceaseless voice they cry,
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
hallelujah, Lord Most High! Languages: English Tune Title: PICARDY

Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming
Author: Theodore Baker; L. Monastier Hymnal: Voices United #8 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.6 Topics: Christian Year Advent First Line: Lo, how a rose e'er blooming (D'un arbre séculaire) Lyrics: 1 Lo, how a rose, e'er blooming,
from tender stem hath sprung,
of Jesse's lineage coming
as seers of old have sung.
It came a blossom bright,
amid the cold of winter
when half spent was the night.
2 Isaiah 'twas foretold it,
the Rose I have in mind,
with Mary we behold it,
the virgin mother kind.
To show God's love aright
she bore for us a Saviour
when half-spent was the night.
French:
1 D'un arbre séculaire,
du vieux tronc d'Isaï,
durant l'hiver austère,
un frais rameau jaillit;
et, sur le sol durci,
dans la nuit calme et claire,
une rose a fleuri.
2 Dieu, par leur voix fervente,
de nombreux serviteurs,
à son peuple en attente,
promettait un Sauveur.
Il vient, suprême honneur,
chez une humble servante,
toute à son pur bonheur. Languages: English Tune Title: ES IST EIN' ROS
Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming
Love Divine, All Loves Excelling
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Voices United #333 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Christian Year Advent Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all loves excelling,
joy of heaven, to earth come down,
fix in us thy humble dwelling,
all thy faithful mercies crown.
Jesus, thou art all compassion,
pure, unbounded love thou art;
visit us with thy salvation,
enter every trembling heart.
2 Come, almighty to deliver,
let us all thy life receive;
suddenly return, and never,
nevermore thy temples leave.
Thee we would be always blessing,
serve thee as thy hosts above,
pray, and praise thee, without ceasing,
glory in thy perfect love.
3 Finish then thy new creation;
pure and spotless let us be;
let us see thy great salvation
perfectly restored in thee,
changed from glory into glory,
till in heaven we take our place,
till we cast our crowns before thee,
lost in wonder, love, and praise.

Author: Charles Wesley; John Cennick; Martin Madan Hymnal: Voices United #25 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Topics: Christian Year Advent Lyrics: 1 Lo, he comes with clouds descending,
see the Lamb for sinners slain!
Thousand thousand saints attending
join to sing the glad refrain:
hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!
God appears on earth to reign.
2 Every eye shall now behold you,
robed in awesome majesty;
all who jeered, and mocked, and sold you,
pierced, and nailed you to the tree,
deeply grieving, deeply grieving, deeply grieving,
shall the true Messiah see.
3 Now redemption, long expected
see in pomp appear;
all the saints, by us rejected,
thrill the trumpet sound to hear:
hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!
See the day of God appear!
4 Yea! Amen! Let all adore you,
high on your eternal throne;
crowns and empires fall before you,
claim the kingdom for your own:
O come quickly! O come quickly! O come quickly!
Everlasting Christ, come down. Languages: English Tune Title: HELMSLEY
Lo, He Comes with Clouds Descending
