"Christ also loved the Church, and gave Himself for it."-Eph. v. 25.

I O GLORY of Thy chosen race,
Light of the nations, show Thy face;
We wait in faith Thy lowly birth,
God's glory veiled to bless the earth.

2 Thee, Son of God, from heaven's high seat,

Thee, Virgin-born, we long to greet; Redeemed by Thee, all worlds proclaim The wonder of Thy Twofold Name.

3 This earth hath seen Thy sojourn, Lord, Who now art high in heaven adored; In Hell's dim vale Thy footsteps trod : f The star-worlds hymned Thee back to God.

4 O mighty Saviour, King divine, Subdue this realm of flesh made Thine: Its feeble frame cries out for Thee; Thy touch, Thy life, alone make free.

5 E'en now Thy manger gleams afar,
To waiting eyes a morning star,
In each dark night to faith below
Its light unquenched shall ever glow.

F 6 All praise to God the Father be,
All praise, Eternal Son, to Thee,
Whom with the Spirit we adore,
One God, both now and evermore.
Amen.

73 "Blessed is He that cometh in the Name of the Lord.”—St. Matt. xxi. 9.

I ZION, at thy shining gates,
Lo, the King of Glory waits!
Haste thy Monarch's pomp to greet,
Strew thy palms before His Feet.

2 Christ, for Thee their triple light
Faith and Hope and Love unite :
This the beacon we display
To proclaim Thine Advent-day.

3 Come, and give us peace within ;
Loose us from the bands of sin;
Take away the galling weight
Laid on us by Satan's hate.

4 Give us grace Thy yoke to wear;
Give us strength Thy cross to bear;
Make us Thine in deed and word,
Thine in heart and life, O Lord.

5 Kill in us the carnal root,
That the Spirit may bear fruit;
Plant in us Thy lowly mind;
Keep us faithful, loving, kind.

6 So, when Thou shalt come again,
Judge of Angels and of men,
f We with all Thy saints shall sing
f Alleluias to our King. Amen.
