Jesus came - the heavens adoring-

Came with peace from realms on high:

Jesus came for man’s redemption,

Lowly came on earth to die:

Hallelujah, hallelujah!

Came in deep humility.

2

Jesus comes again in mercy,

When our hearts are bowed with care;

Jesus comes again in answer

To an earnest, heartfelt prayer.

Hallelujah, hallelujah!

Comes to save us from despair.

3

Jesus comes to hearts rejoicing,

Bringing news of sins forgiven;

Jesus comes in sounds of gladness,

Leading souls redeemed to heaven.

Hallelujah, hallelujah!

Now the gate of death is riven.

4

Jesus comes in joy and sorrow,

Shares alike our hopes and fears;

Jesus comes, whate’er befalls us,

Glads our hearts and dries our tears,

Hallelujah, hallelujah!

Cheering e’en our failing years.

5

Jesus comes on clouds triumphant,

When the heavens shall pass away.

Jesus comes again in glory;

Let us then our homage pay,

Hallelujah, hallelujah!

Till the dawn of endless day.

1

Let the earth now praise the Lord,

Who hath truly kept His word,

And the sinners’ help and friend

Now at last to us doth send.

2

What the fathers most desired,

What the prophets’ heart inspired,

What they longed for many a year,

Stands fulfilled in glory here.

3

Abram’s promised great reward,

Zion’s helper, Jacob’s Lord,

Him of twofold race behold,

Truly come, as long foretold.

4

Welcome, O my Saviour, now!

Hail, my portion, Lord, art Thou.

Here too in my heart I pray,

O prepare Thyself a way.

5

King of glory, enter in,

Cleanse it from the filth of sin,

As Thou hast so often done,

It belongs to Thee alone.

6

As Thy coming was in peace,

Quiet, full of gentleness,

Let the same mind dwell in me

That was ever found in Thee.

7

Bruise for me the serpent’s head,

That, set free from doubt and dread,

I may cleave to Thee in faith,

Safely kept through life and death.

8

And when Thou dost come again,

As a glorious King to reign,

I with joy may see Thy face,

Freely ransomed by Thy grace.

1

On Jordan’s bank the Baptist’s cry

Announces that the Lord is nigh;

Awake and hearken, for he brings

Glad tidings of the King of kings.

2

Then cleansed be every heart from sin;

Make straight the way for God within;

Prepare we in our hearts a home,

Where such a mighty guest may come.

3

For Thou art our salvation, Lord,

Our refuge and our great reward;

Without Thy grace we waste away

Like flowers that wither and decay.

4

To heal the sick stretch out Thy hand,

And bid the fallen sinner stand;

Shine forth, and let Thy light restore

Earth’s own true loveliness once more.

5

All praise, eternal Son, to Thee

Whose advent sets Thy people free,

Whom with the Father we adore,

And Holy Spirit evermore.
