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.

that God's pardon waits for them!
Tell them that their war is over;
God will reign in peace forever!
2 For the herald’s voice is crying
in the desert far and near,
calling us to true repentance,
since the Kingdom now is here.
O, 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 Straight shall be what long was crooked,
and the rougher places plain!
Let your hearts be true and humble,
as befits his holy reign!
For the glory of the Lord
now on earth is shed abroad,
and all flesh shall see the token
that God’s word is never broken. Scripture: Isaiah 40:1-8 Languages: English Tune Title: FREU DICH SEHR (GENEVA)

Once He Came in Blessing
Author: Jan Roh; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #270 (1995) Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Topics: Christian year--Advent; Christian year--Advent Lyrics: 1 Once he came in blessing
all our sins redressing,
came in likeness lowly,
Son of God most holy;
bore the cross to save us,
hope and freedom gave us.
2 Still he comes within 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: AVE HIERARCHIA

Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence
Author: Gerard Moultrie Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #271 (1995) Topics: Christian year--Advent; Christian year--Advent Lyrics: 1 Let all mortal flesh keep silence,
and with fear and trembling stand,
ponder nothing earthly minded,
for with blessing in his hand
Christ our God to earth descended,
our full homage to command.
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 heav'nly food.
3 Rank on rank the host of heaven
spreads its vanguard on the way,
as the Light of light descending
from the realms of endless day;
that the powers of hell may vanquish
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:
alleluia, alleluia,
alleluia, Lord Most High! Scripture: Isaiah 6:2-3 Languages: English Tune Title: PICARDY

Christ, the true, the only light,
sun of Righteousness, arise,
triumph o'er the shades of night.
Day-spring from on high, be near;
day-star, in my heart appear.
2 Dark and cheerless is the morn
unaccompanied by thee;
joyless is the day’s return
till thy mercy’s beams I see,
till they inward light impart,
glad my eyes and warm my heart.
3 Visit then this soul of mine,
pierce the gloom of sin and grief;
fill me, radiancy divine,
scatter all my unbelief;
more and more thyself display,
shining to the perfect day. Languages: English Tune Title: RATISBON

I Danced in the Morning (Lord of the Dance)
Author: Sydney Carter Hymnal: The Worshipbook #426 (1972) Topics: Christian Year Advent First Line: I danced in the morning when the world was begun Refrain First Line: Dance, then, wherever you may be Lyrics: 1 I danced in the morning when the world was begun,
And I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun
And I came down from heaven and I danced on the earth—
At Bethlehem I had my birth.
Refrain:
Dance, then, wherever you may be,
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he,
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be,
And I'll lead you all in the dance, said he.
2 I danced for the scribe and the Pharisee,
But they would not dance and they wouldn't follow me;
I danced for the fishermen, for James and John—
They came with me and the dance went on. [Refrain]
3 I danced on the Sabbath and I cured the lame;
The holy people said it was a shame;
They whipped and they stripped and they hung me high,
And they left me there on a cross to die. [Refrain]
4 I danced on a Friday and the sky turned black.
It's hard to dance with the devil on your back;
They buried my body and they thought I'd gone.
But I am the dance and I still go on. [Refrain]
5 They cut me down and I leap up high—
I am the life that'll never, never die;
I'll live in you if you'll live in me—
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he. [Refrain] Tune Title: [I danced in the morning when the world was begun]
