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.

the iron fetters yield.

to enrich the humble poor.

ere the worlds began to be,
Christ is Alpha and Omega,

of the things that are and have been,
and that future years shall see,
evermore and evermore.

When the Virgin, full of grace,
by the Holy Ghost conceiving,
bare the Saviour of our race,

first revealed his sacred face,

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

cherubim with sleepless eye
veil their faces to the presence,

There's a Voice in the wilderness
Author: James Lewis Milligan Hymnal: Voices United #18 (1996) Meter: Irregular Topics: Christian Year Advent First Line: There's a voice in the wilderness crying 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 God, our God, may go!
2 O Zion, that bringest good tidings,
get thee up to the heights and sing!
Proclaim to a desolate people
the coming of their King.
Like the flowers of the field they perish,
like grass our works decay,
the power and pomp of nations
shall pass like a dream away.
3 But the word of our God endureth,
the arm of the Lord is strong;
God stands in the midst of nations,
and soon will right the wrong.
God shall feed the flock like a shepherd,
the lambs so gently hold;
to pastures of peace will lead them,
and bring them safe to fold.
4 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;

where the God, our, God may go! Languages: English Tune Title: ASCENSION (BANCROFT)

all our sins redressing,
came in likeness lowly,
Son of God most holy;
bore the cross to save us,
hope and freedom gave us.

still his voice would win us
from the sins that hurt us;
would to truth convert us
from our foolish error,
ere he comes in terror.
3 Thus if we have known him,
not ashamed to own him,
nor have spurned him coldly,
but will trust him boldly,
he will then receive us,
heal us, and forgive us.
4 Those who then are loyal
find a welcome royal.
Come then, O Lord Jesus,
from our sins release us;
let us here confess you
till in heav'n we bless you. Scripture: Matthew 1:23 Languages: English Tune Title: ADVENT
