English Hymn O-R

O Christ, in thee my soul hath found


1. O Christ, in thee my soul hath found,
and found in thee alone,
the peace, the joy I sought so long,
the bliss till now unknown.


Refrain:
Now none but Christ can satisfy,
none other name for me!
There’s love and life and lasting joy,
Christ Jesus, found in thee.


2. I sighed for rest and happiness,
I yearned for them, not thee;
but while I passed my Saviour by,
his love laid hold on me.


3. I tried the broken cisterns, ah!
But how the waters failed;
even as I stooped to drink they fled,
and mocked me as I wailed.


4. The pleasures lost I sadly mourned,
but never wept for thee,
till grace the sightless eyes received,
thy loveliness to see.

 



Oh, come, all ye faithful, Joyful and triumphant!
Oh, come ye, oh, come ye to Bethlehem;
Come and behold him Born the king of angels:


Refrain
O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.


God of God, Light of Light ,
Lo, He abhors not the virgin’s womb;
Very God, begotten, not created;


Sing, choirs of angels, Sing in exultation,
Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above!
Glory to God In the highest:


Yea, Lord, we greet thee, Born this happy morning;
Jesus, to thee be glory given!
Word of the Father, Now in flesh appearing!

 


O come, let us sing to the Lord


1. O come, let us sing to the Lord,
to him our voices raise;
with joyful noise let us the Rock
of our salvation praise.


2. Let us before his presence come
with praise and thankful voice;
let us sing psalms to him with grace,
and make a joyful noise.


3. For God’s a great God and great King;
above all gods he is.
The depths of earth are in his hand;
the heights of hills are his.


4. To him the spacious sea belongs,
for he the same did make;
the dry land also from his hands
its form at first did take.


5. O come, and let us worship him;
let us bow down withal,
and on our knees before the Lord,
our Maker, let us fall.

 



O come, O come, Emmanuel, and ransom captive Israel,
that mourns in lonely exile here until the Son of God appear.


Refrain:
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.


O come, thou Dayspring, come and cheer thy people with thine advent here;
disperse the gloomy clouds of night, and death’s dark shadows put to flight.


O come, thou Rod of Jesse, free thine own from Satan’s tyranny;
from depths of hell thy people save, and give them victory over the grave.
