Thou, Who, for grief that all mankind In death their hopeless doom should find, Didst save a lost and guilty race By healing gifts of heavenly grace; Who didst, in love’s redeeming power, When earth was near its evening hour, Like bridegroom from his chamber, come Forth from a Virgin-mother’s womb ; At Whose great Name of glory now All knees in lowly homage bow; Whom things in heaven and earth adore, Their mighty King for evermore ; ADVENT.

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 with glory, Wrapping all the earth in fear, With His mercy He may shield us, And with words of love draw near. Honour, glory, might, and blessing To the FATHER and the SON, With the Everlasting SPIRIT, p‘ While eternal ages run. Amen. “— w" 10 THE Advent of our King !

He comes with glad release; To meet Him, Sion, haste; Nor close thine heart against the peace He freely bids thee taste. As Judge, on clouds of light, He soon will come again; And all His chosen saints unite With Him in heaven to reign. 8 ADVENT. Before the 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. 11 ON J ordan’s bank the Baptist’s cry ‘if; Announces that the LoRn is nigh : Awake, and hearken, for He brings Glad tidings from the King of kings. Then cleansed be every Christian breast, And furnished for so great a Guest : Yea, let us each our hearts prepare, That CHRIsT may deign to enter there. For Thou art our salvation, LoRn, Our Refuge and our great Reward ; W'ithout 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. To Gon the FATHER, Gon the Son, And Goo the SPIRIT, THREE in ONE, Praise, honour, might, and glory be, From age to age eternally.
