Lyrics
The King Shall Come
And light triumphant breaks;
When beauty gilds the eastern hills,
And life to joy awakes.
To bear, and fight, and die,
But crowned with glory like the sun
That lights the morning sky.
When He, victorious, rose,
And left the lonesome place of death,
Despite the rage of foes.
Shall this fair morning be,
When Christ, our King, in beauty comes,
And we His face shall see.
And earth’s dark night is past;
O haste the rising of that morn,
The day that aye shall last.
By weary saints foretold,
When right shall triumph over wrong,
And truth shall be extolled.
And light and beauty brings:
Hail, Christ the Lord! Thy people pray,
Come, Long Expected Jesus

Lyrics
Come, Long Expected Jesus
Born to set Thy people free;
From our fears and sins release us,
Let us find our rest in Thee.
Israel’s Strength and Consolation,
Hope of all the earth Thou art;
Dear Desire of every nation,
Joy of every longing heart.
Born a child and yet a King,
Born to reign in us forever,
Now Thy gracious kingdom bring.
By Thine own eternal Spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By Thine all sufficient merit,
Raise us to Thy glorious throne.

O Come, Divine Messiah
The world in silence waits the day
When hope shall sing its triumph,
And sadness flee away.
Dear Savior haste;
Come, come to earth,
Dispel the night and show Thy face,
And bid us hail the dawn of grace.
O come, divine Messiah!
The world in silence waits the day
When hope shall sing its triumph,
And sadness flee away.
Whom priest and prophet long foretold,
Come break the captive fetters;
Redeem the long-lost fold.
And lowly will Thy cradle be;
All clothed in human weakness
We shall Thy Godhead see.

Sing Out, Earth and Skies
Marty Haugen (C) GIA Publications
Come to us, O Righteous One;
Come, and bring our love to birth:
In the glory of your Son.
Sing out, earth and skies!
Sing of the God who loves you!
Raise your joyful cries!
Dance to the life around you!
Fill the earth with righteousness;
Teach us all to sing your name:
May our lives your love confess.
Twinkling star and burning sun;
God of day and God of night:
In your light we all are one.
Shower down upon the earth;
Come, O God of joy and pain:
God of sorrow, God of mirth.
Come and shape our hearts anew;
Come and make oppression cease:
Bring us all to life in you.

Magnificat
The Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name.
He has shown the might and strength of his arm, and scattered the proud of heart.
He has filled the hungry with all good things, and sent the rich away.
He promised his mercy to Abraham and his children for ever more.

Lyrics
Creator of the Stars
Thy people’s everlasting light,
Jesu, Redeemer, save us all,
And hear Thy servants when they call.
Should doom to death a universe,
Hast found the medicine, full of grace,
To save and heal a ruined race.
As drew the world to evening-tide;
Proceeding from a virgin shrine,
The spotless Victim all divine.
All knees must bend, all hearts must bow;
And things celestial Thee shall own,
And things terrestrial, Lord alone.
To judge and doom the quick and dead,
Preserve us, while we dwell below,
From every insult of the foe.
And God the Spirit, Three in One,
Laud, honor, might, and glory be
From age to age eternally.

On Jordan's Bank
Announces that the Lord is nigh;
Awake and hearken, for He brings
Glad tidings of the King of kings.
Make straight the way of God within;
Oh, let us all our hearts prepare
For Christ to come and enter there.
And bid the fallen sinner stand;
Shine forth, and let Thy light restore
Earth's own true loveliness once more.
Whose advent sets Thy people free;
Whom with the Father we adore
And Holy Ghost forever more.

Save us, O Lord, carry us back, rouse your power and come.
Rescue your people, show us your face, bring us back.
Arise, O Lord, hear our cries, O Lord; bring us back!
give ear to us, draw near to us, Lord God of hosts!
Your vineyards are trampled, uprooted and burned. Come to us, Father of Might!

O Come, Emmanuel
That mourns in lonely exile here until the Son of God appear.
To us the path of knowledge show, And teach us in her way to go.
In ancient times once gave the law In cloud and majesty and awe.
That trust your mighty power to save and give them victory o'er the grave
Make safe the way that leads on high And close the path to misery.

Lyrics
People Look East
Of the crowning of the year.
Make your house fair as you are able,
Trim the hearth and set the table.
People, look east and sing today:
Love, the guest, is on the way.
One more seed is planted there:
Give up your strength the seed to nourish,
That in course the flower may flourish.
People, look east and sing today:
Love, the rose, is on the way.
Guard the nest that must be filled.
Even the hour when wings are frozen
God for fledging time has chosen.
People, look east and sing today:
Love, the bird, is on the way.
One more light the bowl shall brim,
Shining beyond the frosty weather,
Bright as sun and moon together.
People, look east and sing today:
Love, the star, is on the way.
Christ who brings new life to earth.
Set every peak and valley humming
With the word, the Lord is coming.
People, look east and sing today:
Love, the Lord, is on the way.

Lyrics
The Advent of Our King
by Charles Coffin, 1676-1749
Translated by John Chandler, 1806-1876
Our prayers must now employ,
And we must hymns of welcome sing
In strains of holy joy.
Incarnate deigns to be;
Himself a servant's form puts on
To set His servants free.
To meet thy lowly King,
Nor let thy faithless heart despise
The peace He comes to bring.
He soon will come again
And His true members all unite
With Him in heaven to reign.
Let sin's dark deeds be gone,
The old man all be put away,
The new man all put on.
Who comes to set us free,
With Father, Spirit, ever One,
Through all eternity.

Turn To Me
Author: John Foley
Copyright: © 1975 New Dawn Music
Turn to me, O turn and be saved, says the Lord, for I am God,
there is no other, none beside me, I call your name.
I am he that comforts you, who are you to be afraid.
Of flesh that fades, is made like the grass of the field soon to wither.
Listen to me, my people; Give ear to me, my nation:
A law will go forth from me, and my justice for a light to the people.
Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look at the earth down below.
The heavens will vanish like smoke, and the earth will wear out like a garment.
