EHOLD! the darkness flies away, The Sun of Righteousness shall rise, To him ye nations turn your eyes, The dark designs and ways of sin, life of purest joy begin, Let all your works be new. The Saviour, who on earth was found, In meek and lowly state, Shall also come with trumpet's sound, In heav'nly glory great. Then welcome him! in armour bright, That ye may dwell before his sight, 127 2. 3. THE SECOND SUNDAY. 1 ALMIGHTY and eternal Lord, 2 Impress our hearts with what we hear, THE THIRD SUNDAY. 1 O THOU, who holdest in thy hand Make known on earth thy gracious name. 4 Bring mountains low and raise the plains, 5 Let sinners turn from evil ways, THE FOURTH SUNDAY. ISE up thy power, O mighty Lord! we on earth are hinder'd sore, soon forget our heav'nly race, thy great love may we rejoice, fore thy presence may we stand, d sing thy praise with accents sweet, CHRISTMAS-DAY. MIGHTY God thy grace display, d pass'd through hatred, grief, and scorn. y renovating power impart, cheer our new created heart; at we, now made thy children here, y Holy Spirit now bestow, at we in grace and truth may grow, 129 |
