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.

Naar du under mig et Blik
Af dit naadefulde Øie,
Saa har jeg fuldkommen Nøie
Under Korsets Tornestik.

Og en liden Stund bedrøver,
For at skjænke mig en Strøm
Udaf Livsens Kildes Aarer
For de her udøste Taarer
I det ny Jerusalem.
5 Hold, min Sjæl, da op at klage,
Lad Guds Veie dig behage!
Først til Strid og saa til Fred!
Du maa Tornekronen bære,
Saa skal Livsens Krones Ære
Skjænkes dig i Evighed.

Jesus, kom dog selv til mig
Author: Johan Scheffler; Ukjende Hymnal: Salmebog for Lutherske Kristne i Amerika #117 (1919) Topics: Advent 3 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, kom dog selv til mig,
Og forbliv uryggelig!
Kom, min Sjæleven saa kjær,
Jeg alene dig begjær.
2 Verdens Lyst og Liflighed
Giver Sjælen ingen Fred,
Vil kun Jesus hos mig bo,
Fattes mig ei Trøst og Ro.
3 Verdens Rigdom, Magt og Pragt
Holder jeg kun i Foragt,
Jesus, din Fornedring er
Al den Ære jeg begjær!
4 Tages al Ting fra mig bort,
Jeg dit ikke skjøtter stort,
Du, o Jesus, er den Del,
Jeg udvælger for min Sjæl.
5 Ingen anden lukkes ind
I mit Hjerte, Hu og Sind.
Ak, saa kom da, Sjæleven,
Driv al Sorgen fra mig hen!
6 Tusind Gange ønskes du,
Som er ene i min Hu
Tusind Gang' jeg beder dig,
Jesus, kom, og bliv hos mig!
7 Nu jeg taalig vente vil,
Lægger dette Suk hertil
Herre Jesus, trøst mig, naar
Jeg af denne Verden gaar. Languages: Norwegian

Hark the glad sound! — the Saviour comes
Author: P. Doddridge (1702-1751) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #193 (1987) Topics: Advent 3 The Forerunner 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 wounded soul to cure;
and with the treasures of his grace
to enrich the humbled 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: BRISTOL
