Entrance Hymn
Verse 1
Christ, come quickly, there's danger at the door,
poverty a plenty, hearts gone wild with war.
There's hunger in the city and famine on the plain.Refrain
Come, Lord Jesus, the light is dying,
the night keeps crying, Come, Lord Jesus.Verse 2
Want demands a hearing in far too many lands.
The sick go unattended, death deals a heavy hand.
The dreams of men are empty, their cup of sorrow full.Refrain
Come, Lord Jesus, the light is dying,
the night keeps crying, Come, Lord Jesus.Verse 3
The world awaits in darkness, a mighty birst of light,
to set the lame man leaping, to give the blind man sight.
We have the prophet's promise, we await the Prince of Peace.Refrain
Come, Lord Jesus, the light is dying,
the night keeps crying, Come, Lord Jesus.Verse 4
The clouds shall send a Saviour like softly falling rain,
yet mighty in His power, to free us from our chains.
His shield will be compassion, His weapon liberty.Refrain
Come, Lord Jesus, the light is dying,
the night keeps crying, Come, Lord Jesus.
Offertory Hymn
Verse 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!Verse 2
Then cleansed be every soul from sin;
Make straight the way for God within;
Prepare we in our hearts a home
Where such a mighty Guest may come.Verse 3
For Thou art our salvation, Lord,
Our refuge, and our sure reward.
Shine forth, and let Thy light restore
Our souls to Heav'nly grace once more.Verse 4
All praise, eternal Son, to Thee
Whose advent sets Thy people free,
Whom, with the Father, we adore,
And Holy Spirit, evermore.

Let the valleys be raised and the mountains made low,
Ev'ry meadow and field overturn.

For the coming of God in our day.Verse 1
God has come to His pe0ple as He promised of old.
He has raised up a Savior in the sight of us all.Refrain

Ev'ry meadow and field overturn.
Make the pathway straight and the highway run smooth
For the coming of God in our day.Verse 2
You, little child, go before Him, like the prophets of old.
Bringing news of His coming, by the mercy of God.Refrain
Let the valleys be raised and the mountains made low,
Ev'ry meadow and field overturn.
Make the pathway straight and the highway run smooth
For the coming of God in our day.Verse 3
God has come like the morning on the darkness of night,
as a light to the people, like the breaking of day.Refrain
Let the valleys be raised and the mountains made low,
Ev'ry meadow and field overturn.
Make the pathway straight and the highway run smooth
For the coming of God in our day.
