ST. JAMES. 7, 6. FROM LINDEMAN'S KORAL BOK. 181 The glories of Christ's kingdom. 1 HAIL, to the Lord's Anointed, 2 He comes with succor speedy And bid the weak be strong: To give them songs for sighing, Their darkness turn to light, Whose souls, condemned and dying, Were precious in his sight. 3 He shall descend like showers 4 To him shall prayer unceasing, His covenant remove; His name shall stand forever; JAMES MONTGOMERY. ARR. BY WILLIAM HENRY MONK. There to bend the knee before 3 As they offered gifts most rare 4 Holy Jesus, every day WILLIAM C. DIX. ANTIOCH. C. M. *ARR. FROM GEORGE FREDERICK HANDEL. 183 Joy to the world. 1 Joy to the world! the Lord is come; Let every heart prepare him room, 2 Joy to the world! the Saviour reigns; While flelds and floods, rocks, hills, and plains, Repeat the sounding joy. 3 No more let sin and sorrow grow, He comes to make his blessings flow 4 He rules the world with truth and grace, And makes the nations prove The glories of his righteousness, Justice shall guard his throne above, And peace abound below. 4 To us a Child of hope is born, The Wonderful, the Counselor, JOHN MORRISON, 185 The Saviour's advent. 1 HARK, the glad sound! the Saviour comes, The Saviour promised long; Let every heart prepare a throne, 2 He comes, the prisoner to release, The gates of brass before him burst, 3 He comes, from thickest films of vice And on the eyes oppressed with night 4 He comes, the broken heart to bind, 5 Our glad hosannas, Prince of peace, PHILIP DODDRIDGE. 3 Once on the raging seas I rode, The storm was loud, the night was dark, The ocean yawned, and rudely blowed The wind that tossed my foundering bark, 4 Deep horror then my vitals froze: Death-struck, I ceased the tide to stem; When suddenly a star arose, It was the Star of Bethlehem. 5 It was my guide, my light, my all, 6 Now safely moored, my perils o'er, The Star, the Star of Bethlehem. H. KIRKK WHITE, Seek the great Desire of nations; Worship Christ, the newborn King. Worship Christ, the newborn King. 5 Sinners, wrung with true repentance, Doomed for guilt to endless pains, Justice now revokes the sentence, Mercy calls you,-break your chains: Come and worship, Worship Christ, the newborn King. 70 JAMES MONTGOMERY. HERALD ANGELS. 7. D. FELIX MENDELSSOHN-BARTHOLDY 190 God incarnate. 3 Christ, by highest heaven adored, 4 Hail the heaven-born Prince of peace! Hail the Sun of righteousness! Light and life to all he brings, Risen with healing in his wings. CHARLES WESLEY. 1 BRIGHT and joyful is the morn, 2 On his shoulder he shall bear Names most awful, names most high. 3 Wonderful in counsel he, Christ, the incarnate Deity; Sire of ages, ne'er to cease; King of kings, and Prince of peace, 4 Come and worship at his feet; JAMES MONTGOMERY. |
