That God, the Son of God, should take
Our mortal form for mortals' sake.
2 For us He was baptized, and bore
His holy fast, and hungered sore;
For us temptations sharp He knew;
For us the tempter overthrew.
3 For us He prayed, for us He taught,
For us His daily works He wrought,
By words, and signs, and actions thus
Still seeking not Himself but us.
4 For us to wicked men betrayed,
Scourged, mocked, purple robe arrayed,
He bore the shameful cross and death;
For us at length gave up His breath.
5 For us He rose from death again,
For us He went on high to reign,
For us He sent His Spirit here
To guide, to strengthen, and to cheer.
6 To Him whose boundless love has won
Salvation for us through His Son,
To God the Father, glory be,
Both now and through eternity.

And for her life He died.

Yet one o'er all the earth,
Her charter of salvation,
One Lord, one faith, one birth;
One holy name she blesses,
Partakes one holy food,
And to one hope she presses,
With ev'ry grace endued.

Men see her sore opprest,
Tho' foes would rend asunder
The rock where she doth rest;
Yet saints their faith are keeping,
Their cry goes up, "How long?"
And soon the night of weeping
Shall be the morn of song.
4 'Mid toil and tribulation,
And tumult of her war,
She waits the consummation
Of peace for ever more;
Till with the vision glorious
Her longing eyes are blest,
And the great Church victorious
Shall be the Church at rest.

I have set My King to reign,
And on Zion's holy hill
My Anointed I maintain;
And on Zion's holy hill
My Anointed I maintain.
3 This His word shall be made known,
This Jehovah's firm decree:
Thou art My beloved Son,
Yea I have begotten Thee.
All the earth at Thy request
I will give Thee for Thy own;
Then Thy might shall be confessed
And Thy foes be overthrown;
Then Thy might shall be confessed
And Thy foes be overthrown.
4 Therefore, kings, be wise, give ear,
Hearken, judges of the earth;
Learn to serve the Lord with fear.
Mingle trembling with your mirth.

His consuming wrath should break;

Who in Christ their refuge take;

Of heaven and earth and seas,
Thy providence confirms thy word,
And answers thy decrees.
2 The things so long foretold
By David are fulfill'd;
When Jews and Gentiles join'd to slay
Jesus, thine holy Child.]
3 Why did the Gentiles rage,
And Jews with one accord
Join all their councils to destroy
Th' Anointed of the Lord?
4 Rulers and Kings agree
To form a vain design;
Against the Lord their powers unite,
Against his Christ they join.
5 The Lord derides their rage,
And will support his throne;
He that hath rais'd him from the dead,
Hath own'd him for his son.
Pause.
6 Now he's ascended high,
To rule the subject earth;
The merit of his blood he pleads,
And pleads his heavenly birth.
7 Beneath his sovereign sway
The Gentile nations bend;
Far as the world's remotest bounds,
His kingdom shall extend.
8 The nations that rebel,
Must feel his iron rod;
He'll vindicate those honours well
Which he receiv'd from God.
9 [Be wise, ye rulers, now,
And worship at his throne;
With trembling joy, ye people bow,
To God's exalted Son.

Ye perish on the place;

For refuge to his grace.] Scripture: Psalm 2 Languages: English

with John the Baptist stood,
his secret in the name he bore:
the holy Lamb of God.
See all his body washed and wet,
baptized in Jordan's flow,
as here his shame and glory meet,
his pain and triumph show.
2 See Christ submits himself to John;
the Lord bows to his slave!
See where he stoops, the sinless one,
to share a sinner's grave!
See him arising from the stream
where all the past now dies;
for yet a colder tomb he came
and now calls us to rise.
3 See Christ, to whom the Father speaks
as his beloved Son;
Messiah's chosen task he takes,
the servant's work begun.
See him on whom the Spirit fell,
descending like a dove,
in whom we find a springing well
of peace and joy and love.
4 See Christ through forty hungry days
with sand and stones for bed;
in lonely trials and desert ways
with him may we be led.
See him, the anointed Lamb who died,
to whom all praise we bring;
see Christ baptized, Christ crucified,
and Christ our reigning King! Scripture: Mark 1:9-13 Languages: English Tune Title: NOEL

And with this joyful cry

Christ has died! Christ is risen!
Christ will come again!

New-minted for our time,
Our liturgies sum up
The hope we have in Him:
Christ has died! Christ is risen!
Christ will come again!

As, kneeling side by side,
We take the bread and wine
From Him, the Crucified:
Christ has died! Christ is risen!
Christ will come again!
4 By this we are upheld
When doubt or grief assails
Our Christian fortitude,
And only grace avails:
Christ has died! Christ is risen!
Christ will come again!

Which, if we hold it fast,
Changes the world and us
And brings us home at last:
Christ has died! Christ is risen!

Though all my crimes before thee lie,
Behold them not with angry look,
But blot their memory from thy book.
2 Create my nature pure within,
And form my soul averse to sin;
Let thy good spirit ne'er depart,
Nor hide thy presence from my heart.
3 I cannot live without thy light,
Cast out and banish'd from thy sight:
Thine holy joys, my God, restore,
And guard me, that I fall no more.
4 Though I have griev'd thy spirit, Lord,
His help and comfort still afford,
And let a wretch come near thy throne,
To plead the merits of thy Son.
5 A broken heart, my God, my King,
Is all the sacrifice I bring;
The God of grace will ne'er despise
A broken heart for sacrifice.
6 My soul lies humbled in the dust,
And owns thy dreadful sentence just;
Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye,
And save the soul condemn'd to die.
7 Then will I teach the world thy ways;
Sinners shall learn thy sovereign grace;
I'll lead them to my Saviour's blood,
And they shall praise a pardoning God.
8 O may thy love inspire my tongue!
Salvation shall be all my song;
And all my powers shall join to bless
The Lord my strength and righteousness. Scripture: Psalm 51 Languages: English

My loads of guilt remove,
Break down this separating wall
That bars me from thy love.

Shall speak aloud thy righteousness,
And make thy praise my song.

Christ Is Coming! Let Creation
Author: John R. MacDuff Hymnal: Hymns to the Living God #96 (2017) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Topics: Jesus Christ Advent Lyrics: 1 Christ is coming! Let creation
from her groans and travail cease;
let the glorious proclamation
hope restore and faith increase:
Christ is coming! Christ is coming!
Come, Thou blessed Prince of Peace,
come, Thou blessed Prince of Peace.
2 Earth can now but tell the story
Of Thy bitter cross and pain;
she shall yet behold Thy glory,
When Thou comest back to reign:
Christ is coming! Christ is coming!
Let each heart repeat the strain,
let each heart repeat the strain.
3 Long Thine exiles have been pining,
far from rest, and home, and Thee;
but, in heav'nly vestures shining,
they their loving Lord shall see:
Christ is coming! Christ is coming!
Haste the joyous jubilee,
haste the joyous jubilee.
4 With that blessed hope before us,
let no harp remain unstrung;
let the mighty advent chorus
onward roll from tongue to tongue:
"Christ is coming! Christ is coming!
Come, Lord Jesus, quickly come,
come, Lord Jesus, quickly come!" Languages: English
Christ Is Coming! Let Creation
