4th Sunday in Advent

Angels, from the realms of glory,
Wing your flight o'er all the earth;
Ye who sang creation's story,
Now proclaim Messiah's birth;
Come and worship, come and worship,
Worship Christ, the newborn King.
-- James Montgomery

For the Third Sunday in Advent

Hark, the glad sound! The Savior comes,
The Savior promised long;
Let every heart exult with joy,
And every voice be song!
Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace,
Thy welcome shall proclaim;
And heavens exalted arches ring
With Thy most honored Name.
 --Philip Doddridge

For the Second Sunday of Advent

“Welcome to earth, thou noble guest,
through whom the sinful world is blest!
In my distress thou com’st to me;
what thanks shall I return to thee?”
-- Martin Luther, 1535
