(108) Rejoice, rejoice, be lievers! And let your lights ap- pear;

(J=80) On Jor-dan's bank the Bap-tist's cry Announc-es that the Lord is nigh;

Awake and hearken, for he brings Glad tidings of the King of kings. A-men.

(84) Come, Thou long - ex- pected Jesus, Born to set Thy people free;

From our fears and sins release us, Let us find our rest in Thee. Amen.

(J=104) Hark! a thrill-ing voice is sound-ing; "Christ is nigh!" it seems to say;

"Cast a way the dreams of dark-ness, O ye children of the day.” A - men.

2 Wakened by the solemn warning,
Let the earthbound soul arise;
Christ, her Sun, all sloth dispelling,
Shines upon the morning skies.

3 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;

4 So when next He comes with glory,
Wrapping all the world in fear,
May He with His mercy shield us,
And with words of love draw near.

Amen.

(May be sung to Regent Square, No. 133)

2 Jesus comes again in mercy,
When our hearts are bowed with care;
Jesus comes again in answer

To an earnest heartfelt prayer;
Alleluia! Alleluia!
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; Alleluia! Alleluia!

Now the gate of death is riven.

126 ST. SAVIOUR C. M.

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;
Alleluia! Alleluia!

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,
Alleluia! ever singing,

Till the dawn of endless day. Amen.
