HYMNS-

** Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold thy King cometh

I unto thee."

S.M.
1 The Advent of our King

Our prayers must now employ,
And we must hymns of welcome sing
In strains of holy joy.

The Everlasting Son
Incarnate deigns to be ;
Himself a servant's form puts on,
To set His servants free.

.»
1

Daughter of Sion, rise
To meet thy lowly King ;
Nor let thy faithless heart despise
The peace He comes to bring.

As Judge, in clouds of light,
He soon will come again,
And His true members all unite
With Him in heaven to reign. .
A

ADVENT.

Before that dawning day
Let sin's dark deeds be gone ;
The old man all be put away,
The new man all put on.

All glory to the Son,
Who comes to set us free.
With Father, Spirit, ever One,
Through all eternity. Amen.

*' Now it is high time to awake out of sleep."

Hark! a thrilling voice is sounding ;

** Christ is nigh," it seems to say ;
'* Cast away the dreams of darkness,

O ye children of the day !"

Wakened by the solemn warning.
Lei the earth-bound soul arise ;
Christ, her Sun, all ill dispelling,
^ Shines upon the morning skies.

8.7

((

t' *

Lo ! the Lamb, so long expected,

Comes with pardon down from heaven ;

Let us haste, with tears of sorrow,
One and all to be forgiven :

That when next He comes in glory.
And the world is wrapped in fear,

With His mercy He may shield us,
And with words of love draw near.

Honour, glory, miglit and blessing

To the Father and the Son,
With the Everlasting Spirit,

While eternal ages run. Amen.

" The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye
the way of the Lord, make His paths straight."

L.M.

3 On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry-
Announces that the Lord is nigh ;
Awake, and hearken, for He brings
Glad tidings of the King of kings.

Then cleansed be every breast from sin;
Make straight the way for God within ;
Prepare we in our hearts a home,
Where such a mighty Guest may come.

For Thou art our Salvation, Lord,
Our Refuge, and our great Keward ;
Without Thy grace we waste away,
Like flowers that wither and decay.

To heal the sick stretch out Thine hand,
And bid the fallen sinner stand ;
Shine forth, and let Thy light restore
Earth's own true loveliness once more.

All praise, Eternal Son, to Thee .. \
Whose Advent doth Thy people free ;
Whom with the Father we adore i

And Holy Ghost for evermore. Amen.

ADVENT.

**As it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this
the judgment: so Christ was once offered to bear the
sins of many ; and unto them that look for Him shall
He appear the second time without sin unto salvation."

LJM.

I Creator of the stany height,
Thy people's everlasting Light,
Jesus, Redeemer of us all,
Hear Thou Thy servants when they call.

Thou, sorrowing at the helpless cry
Of all creation doomed to die.
Didst save our lost and guilty race
And grant us gifts of heavenly grace.

At Thy great Name, exalted now,
All knees in lowly homage bow ;
All things in heaven and earth adore,
And own Thee King for evermore.

To Thee, O Holy One, we pray,
Our Judge in that tremendous day.
Ward off, while yet we dwell below,
The weapons of our crafty foe.

To God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Spirit, Three in One,
Praise, honour, might, and glory be,
From age to age eternally. Amen.
" He Cometh, He cometh to judge the earth."

Oh what fear man's bosom rendeth,
When from heaven the Judge descendeth,
On Whose sentence all dependeth !

Wondrous sound the trumpet flingeth,
Through earth's sepulchres it ringeth,
All before the Throne it bringeth.

Lo, the book exactly worded,
Wherein all hath been recorded !
Thence shall judgment be awarded,

What shall we, frail men, be pleading,
Who for us be interceding,
When the j ast are mercy needing %

King of Majesty tremendous,
Who dost free salvation send us,
Fount of pity, then befriend us !

Faint and weary Thou hast sought us.
On the cross of suffering bought us j
Shall such grace in vain be brought us ?

Guilty, now we pour our moaning.
All our shame with anguish owning ;
Spare, O God, Thy suppliants groaning.

Ah that day of tears and mourning !
From the dust of earth returning,
Man for judgment must prepare him ;

Spare, O God, in mercy spare him !
Lord, all-pitying, Jesu blest,
Grant us Thine eternal rest. Amen.

"Behold He Cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see
Him, and they also which pierced Him."

Once for favoured sinners slain ;
Thousand thousand saints attending
Swell the trium])h of His train ; #

Alleluia 1
Christ appears on earth again.

Every eye shall now behold Him

Robed in dreadful Majesty ;
They who set at nought and sold him,

Pierced and nailed Him to tlie tree,
Deej)ly wailing.

Shall the true Messiah sec.

Now redemption, long expected !

See in solemn pomp appear,

E-ise to meet Him in the air !

7 Hark tlie glad sound ! the Saviour comes,

The Saviour promised long ;
Let every heart prepare a throne,
And every voice a song.

He comes, the prisoners to release

In Satan's bondage held ;
The gates of brass before Him burst.

The iron fetters yield.

He comes, the broken hearts to bind,

The bleeding souls to cure,
And with the treasures of His grace

To bless the humble poor.

Our glad hosannas. Prince of Peace,
Thine Advent shall proclaim,

And heaven's exalted arches ring
With Thy beloved Name. Amen.

with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of

8 Great God, what do I see and hear ?

The end of things created :
The Judge of all men doth appear

On clouds of glory seated :
The trumpet sounds, the graves restore
The dead which they contained before ;
Prepare, my soul, to meet Him.

ADVENT.

The dead in Christ are first to rise
At that last trumpet's sounding ;

Caught up to meet Him in the skies,
With joy their Lord surrounding ;

No gloomy fears their souls dismay ;

His presence sheds eternal day
On those prepared to meet Him.

The ungodly filled with guilty fears,
Behold His wrath prevailing :

In woe they rise, but all their tears
And sighs are unavailing ;

The day of gi'ace is past and gone ;

Trembling they stand before His throne.
All unprepared to meet Him.

Great Judge, to Thee our prayers we pour.

In deep abasement bending ;
O shield us through that last dread hour.

Thy wondrous love extending :
May we, in this our trial day,
With faithful hearts Thy word obey.

And thus prepare to meet Thee. Amen,

Of the things that are, that have been,
And that future years shall see.

He is found in human fashion,
Death and sorrow here to know,

That the race of Adam's children,
Doomed by Law to endless woe,

May not henceforth die and perish
In the dreadful gulf below.

This is He Whom seers in old time
Chanted of with one accord ;

Whom the voices of the Prophets
Promised in their faithful word ;

No\^ He shines, the long-expected :
Let creation praise its Lord.

Christians, awake, salute the happy morn,
Whereon the Saviour of mankind was born,
Rise to adore the mysteiy of love.
Which hosts of angels chanted from above ;
With them the joyful tidings first begun
Of God Incarnate and the Virgin's Son.

Then to the watchful shepherds it was told,
Who heard the angelic herald's voice : " Behold,
I bring good tidings of a Saviour's birth
To you and all the nations upon earth :
This day hath God fulfilled His promised word,
This day is born a Saviour, Christ the Lord."

He spake; and straightway the celestial choir
In hymns of joy, unknown before, conspire :
The praises of redeeming love they sang,
And heaven's whole orb with alleluias rang :
God's highest glory was their anthem still.
Peace upon earth, and unto men good- will.

Trace we the Babe, Who hath retrieved our loss,
From the poor manger to the bitter cross ;
Tread in His steps, assisted by His grace.
Till man's first heavenly state again takes place.

Then may we hope, the angelic hosts among,

To join redeemed, a glad triumphant throng :

Around us all His glory shall display ;

Speed on with eager feet ;
Come to the hallowed cave with them
The holy Babe to greet.

A manger, stall, and swaddling clothes,
A Child and Mother poor.

Art thou the Christ ? the Son ?
The Father's Image bright 1
And see we Him Whose arm upholds
Earth and the starry height ?

Yea, faith can pierce the cloud
Which veils Thy glory now ;
We hail Thee God, before Whose Throne
The angels prostrate bow.

A silent Teacher, Lord,
Thou bid'st us not refuse
To bear what flesh would have us shun.
To shun what flesh would choose.

With that pure love of Thine,

Of his Incarnate Lord,
Beyond the stars, beyond all space,

There Judah's Lion and the Lamb,
That for our ransom bled ;

There of the kingdom learnt
The mysteries sublime ;
How sown in martyrs' blood the Faith
Should spread from clime to clime.

Lord, give us grace, like him,
In Thee to live and die ;
To spurn the fleeting things of earth,
And seek for joys on high.

Their harvest treasures home.

For Thou their burden dost remove,

And break the tyrant's rod,
As in the day when Midian fell

Before the sword of GoD.

For unto us a Child is born,

To ub a Son is given,
And on His Shoulder ever rest

All power in earth and heaven.

His name shall be the Prince of Peace,

The Everlasting Lord,
The Wonderful, the Counsellor,

The God by all adored.

His righteous government and power

Shall over all extend ;
On judgment and on justice based,

His reign shall have no end.

There to bend the knee before

Him Whom heaven and earth adore ;

Ever seek the mercy seat.

At that manger rude and bare ;
So may we with holy joy,
Pure and free from sin's alloy.
All our costliest treasures bring,

Where no clouds Thy glory hide.

And eastern sages with amaze
Upon the wondrous vision gaze.

The guiding star above is bright.
Within them shines a clearer light.
Which leads them on with power benign
To seek the Giver of the sign.

O Jesu, while the star of grace
Allures us now to seek thy face,
Let not our slothful hearts refuse
The guidance of that light to use.

For this Thy glad Epiphany :

55 When I survey the wondrous Cross
On which the Prince of Glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss.
And pour contempt on all my pride.

Forbid it Lord, that I should boast.
Save in the Cross of Christ my God ;
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His Blood.

See, from His Head, His Hands, His Feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down ;
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
Or tliorns compose so rich a crown]

CK)OD FETDAY.

Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were an offering far too small ;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my life, my soul, my all.

To Christ, who won for sinners grace
By bitter grief and anguish sore,
Be praise from all the ransomed race
For ever and for evermore. AmeiL

that we might be matle the righteousness of God in Him."

A sacrifice for guilty man.
By the Eternal Spiri± made
An offering in the sinner's stead ;
Our everlasting IViest art Thou, •
Pleading Thy death for sinners now.

Eternal Victim, from Thy side
Thy love did pour a crimson tide.
And still Thy vesture dyed in hlood
Gives token of the cleansing flood ;
The Lamb for ever slain art Thou,
Pleading Thy death for sinners now.

PoTir down upon our darkened sight.

So may we know Tliee Victim, Priest,

And guilt oppress my soul,
Then let Thy bitter Passion
The rising storm control ;
Remind me that Thy Blood was spilt
For me, T)h, most unworthy !
To take away my guilt.

Lord, let Thy hitter Passion
My soul with strength inspire

To flee with indignation
Each sinful, low desire ;
Ah ! never would I, Lord, forget

The greatness of that Ransom
Which paid my endless debt.

Should earthly griefs assail me,
If need be, shame and scorn,

Let patience never fail me
To bear as Thou hast borne ;
Grant that the world I may forsake,

And Thee for my example,
Oh ! may I daily take.

Henceforth my heart shall bless Thee,
Whilst here its pulses move ;

Dark and cheerless is the morn

Unaccompanied by Thee ;
Joyless is the day's return

Till Thy mercy's beams we see,
Till they pour their gladdening light
Through the darkness of our night.

Visit then these souls of Tliine ;

Pierce the gloom of sin ulkJ grief;
Fill us, Lord, with light divine ;

Scatter all our unbelief ;
More and more Thyself dis})lay,
Shining to the perfect day.

Through sleep and darkness safel^^- brought,
Restored to life, and power and thought.

New perils past, new sins forgiven,
New thoughts of God, new hopes t>f heaven.

If on our daily course our mind
Be set to hallow all we find,
New treasures still of countless price
God will provide for sacrifice.

The trivial round, tlie connnon task,
Will furnish all we need to ask,
Koom to deny ourselves, a road
To bring us daily nearer God.

MORNING.

Come, Holy Sun of heavenly love,
Come in Thy radiance from above,
And to our inward hearts convey
The Holy Spirit's cloudless ray.

So we the Father's help will claim
And sing the Father's glorious name.
And his Ahnighty grace implore
That we may stand to fall no more.

May He our actions deign to bless,
And loose the bonds of wickedness ;
From sudden falls our feet defend,
And guide us safely to the end.

O hallowed thus be every day ;
Let meekness as a morning ray.
Let faith as noontide splendour glow.
Our souls the twilight never know.

All praise to God the Father be.
All praise, Fiternal Son, to Thee,
Whom with the Spirit we adore.
For ever and for evermore. Amen.

Come near and bless its when we wake,
Ere through the world our way we take ;
Till in the ocean of Thy love
We lose ourselves in Heaven above. Amen.

" Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for
the arrow that fiieth by day."

190 Saviour ! breathe an evening blessing,
Ere repose our spirits seal.
Sin and want we come confessing,
Thou canst save and Thou canst heal.

Though destruction walk around us,
Though the arrows past us fly.

Angel guards from Thee surround us,
We are safe if Thou art nigh.

Though the night be dark and dreary.
Darkness cannot hide from Thee ;

Thou art tie Who, never weary,
Watchest where Thy people be.

Should swift death this night overtake us.
And our couch become our tomb.

May the eternal morn awake us
Clad in bright and deathless bloom.

Amen.

At eventide descend ;
So life's brief day is sinking down
To its appointed end.

Lord, on the cross Thine arms were stretched

To draw Thy j)eople nigh ;
O grant us then that cross to love,

And in those arms to die.

All glory to the Father be,

All glory to the Son,
All glory, Holy Ghost, to Thee,

While endless ages run. Amen.

"He that keepeth Israel shall neither slumher nor sleep."

192 Before the ending of the day, L.M.
Creator of the world ! we pray

That with Thy wonted favour Thou
Wouldst be our guard and keeper now.

Uplift us with Thine arm of might.
So may our souls rise pure and bright ;
With love divine our hearts inflame,
To praise Thee for Thy glorious name.

Author of all things, gracious Guide,
In life be ever at our side ;
And when the assaults of death impend.
Thy people strengthen and defend.

Abide with me ; fast falls the eventide ;
The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide;
When other helpers fail, and comforts flee.
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.

Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day ;
Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away ;
Change and decay in all around I see ;

Thou Who changest not, abide with me.

What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power ?
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be 1
Through cloud and sunshine. Lord, abide wdth me.

I fear no foe with Thee at hand to bless ;
1 lis have no weight, and tears no bitterness ;
Where is death's sting, where, grave, thy victory ?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.

Hold Thou Thy Cross before my closing eyes ;
Shine thioughthe gloom, and point me to the skies;
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadow s

flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Amen.

Where suns can never set.

Our sun is sinking low.

Our day is almost o'er,

O Sun of righteousness, do Thou

Shine on us evermore.

Praise to the Father give.
Praise to the Spirit, One alone.
In Whom alone we live. Amen.

Saviour ! to Thy Father bear
This* our feeble evening prayer ;
Thou hast seen how oft to-day
We, like sheep, have gone astray ;
Blessed Saviour ! yet through Thee,
Pray our sins may pardoned be.

Soften, strengthen, comfort still !

Dwelling in the midst of foes.

On the same eternal throne ;

197 O Thou, who hid from mortal sight
Dost dwell in unapproached light.
Before Whose presence angels bow
With faces veiled in homage low ;

Awhile in darkness we remain.
And round us yet are sin and pain ;
But soon the everlasting day
Shall (jhase our shades of night away.

For Thou hast promised. Gracious Lord,

A day of gladness and reward ;

A day but faintly imaged here

By brightest sun at noon-tide clear.

EVENING.

Then from tlie bonds of sin set free,
The soul shall %, O God, to Thee ;
To see Thee, love Thee, and adore,
Her blissful task for evermore.

The fulness of Thy joy to share ;

And gain eternal light above. Amen.

Thy word into our minds instil ;
And make our lukewarm hearts to glow

With lowly love and fervent will.

O blessed Jesus, be our Light.

The day is gone, its hours have run.

And thou hast taken count of all,
The scanty triumphs grace hath won,

The broken vow, the frequent fall.
Through life's long day and death's dark night,
O blessed Jesus, be our Light.

Grant us, dear Lord, from evil ways
True absolution and release; •

And bless us more than in past days,

Sweet fear, and sober liberty.

Labour is sweet, for Thou hast toiled ;

And care is light, for Thou hast cared ;
Ah ! never let our works be soiled

With strife, or by deceit ensnared.
Through life's long day, and death's dark night,
O blessed Jesus, be our Light.

For all we love, the poor, the sad,

The sinful, unto Thee we call ;
O let Thy mercy make us glad :

Thou art our Jesus and our All.
Through life's long day, and death's dark night,
O blessed Jesus, be our Light. Amen.

BURIAL OF THE DEAD,

Here in an inn a stranger dwelt.
Here joy and grief by turn^ lie felt ;
Poor dwelling, now we close thy door !

The task is o'er,
The sojourner returns no Uxore !

Now of a lasting home possest,
He goes to seek a deeper rest.
Good night ! the day was sultry here,

Ln toil and fear ;
Good niffht ! the niffht is cool and clear.

Chime on, ye bells, again begin,
And ring the Sabbath morning in,
The labourer's week-day work is done.

The rest begun
Which Christ hath for His people won.

How many graves around us lie !
How many homes are in the sky !
Yes, for each saint doth Christ prepare

A place with care :
Thy home is waiting, brother, there !

Jesus, Thou reignest, Lord alone,
Thou wilt return and claim Thine own.
Come quickly Lord ! return again !

Amen ! Amen !
Thine seal us ever, now and then ! Amen ,

216 Christ is gone up : yet ere He passed

From earth, in Leaven to reign,
He formed one holy Church to last
Till He should come again.

His twelve Apostles first He made

His ministers of grace ;
And they their hands on others laid.

To fill in turn their place.

So age by age and year by year
His truth was handed down ;

And still the holy Church is here,
Although her Lord is gone.

Let those find pardon, Lord, from Thee,

Whose love to her is cold ;
Bring wanderers in, and let there be

One Shepherd and one fold. Amen.
