The herald of the Word, is born;
And faithful hearts shall never fail
With thanks and praise his light to hail.
2 With heav'nly message Gabriel came,
That John should be that herald's name,
And with prophetic utt'rance told
His actions great and manifold.
3 Though not yet born, John gave aright
His witness to the coming Light;
And Christ, the Sun of all the earth,
Fulfilled that witness at his birth.
4 John's mighty deeds exalt his fame
To greater than a prophet's name;
Of woman born shall never be
A greater prophet than was he. Languages: English Tune Title: WINCHESTER NEW

Lo, from the desert homes
Author: Charles Coffin, 1676-1749; Isaac Williams, 1802-1865 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #775 (2010) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Topics: Saints' and Other Holy Days St. John the Baptist Lyrics: 1 Lo, from the desert homes,
where he hath hid so long,
the new Elijah comes,
in sternest wisdom strong;
the voice that cries
of Christ from high,
and judgement nigh
from opening skies.
2 Your God e’en now doth stand
at heaven’s opening door;
his fan is in his hand,
and he will purge his floor;
the wheat he claims
and with him stows,
the chaff He throws
to quenchless flames.
3 Ye haughty mountains, bow
your sky-aspiring heads;
ye valleys, hiding low,
lift up your gentle meads;
make his way plain
your king before,
for evermore
he comes to reign.
4 May thy dread voice around,
thou harbinger of Light,
on our dull ears still sound,
lest here we sleep in night,
till judgement come,
and on our path
the Lamb's dread wrath
shall burst in doom.
5 O God, with love’s sweet might,
who dost anoint and arm
Christ’s soldier for the fight
with grace that shields from harm
thrice blessèd Three,
heaven’s endless days
shall sing thy praise
eternally. Scripture: Matthew 3:1-3 Languages: English Tune Title: DARWALL'S 148TH

The great forerunner of the morn
Hail, harbinger of morn
Author: The Venerable Bede, 673-735; Charles Stewart Calverly, 1831-1884 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #774 (2010) Meter: 6.6.10 D Topics: Saints' and Other Holy Days St. John the Baptist Lyrics: 1 Hail, harbinger of morn:
thou that art this day born,
and heraldest the Word with clarion voice!
Ye faithful ones, in him
behold the dawning dim
of the bright day, and let your hearts rejoice.
2 John – by that chosen name
to call him Gabriel came
by God's appointment from his home on high:
what deeds that babe should do
to manhood when he grew,
God sent his angel forth to testify.
3 There is none greater, none,
than Zechariah's son;
than this no mightier prophet hath been born:
of prophets he may claim
more than a prophet's fame;
sublimer deeds than theirs his brow adorn.
4 'Lo, to prepare thy way,'
did God the Father say,
'before thy face my Messenger I send,
thy coming to forerun;
as on the orient sun
doth the bright Daystar morn by morn attend.'
5 Praise therefore God most high;
praise him who came to die
for us, his Son that liveth evermore;
and to the Spirit raise,
the Comforter, like praise,
while time endureth, and when time is o'er. Languages: English Tune Title: DOWN AMPNEY
Hail, harbinger of morn
