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 ev'ry heart from sin;

Make straight the way of God within;

Oh, let us all our hearts prepare

For Christ to come and enter there. 

3. To heal the sick stretch out Thine hand,

And bid the fallen sinner stand;

Shine forth, and let Thy light restore

Earth's own true loveliness once more. 

4. All praise, eternal Son, to Thee,

Whose advent sets Thy people free;

Whom with the Father we adore 

And Holy Ghost forever more.

Stay Awake – Chris O’Hara

all voices: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZBwVhl3Nlw

melody: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAcEPrlbjno

harmony:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9k1ZFB9xs0

There will be signs upon the sun

The moon and stars will share Earth's agony.

And ev'ry nation will be fearful of the sound:

the ocean's roar, the raging sea

then they will see the Son of Man

riding the clouds with pow'r and glory;

hold up your heads, your liberation is at hand:

your destiny, your destiny...

Refrain:

O stay awake, do not fear the night

The dawn will break with the Saviour's light

Your liberation is at hand:

O stay awake!  O stay awake!

The time is near, we must arise,

no longer living in the dark of night.

So arm yourselves as people living in the way

of truthfulness, integrity,

and hold a dream of days to come

when we will reach God's holy mountain

and change all weapons into instruments of peace

to sow the seed of justice.


111 My soul in stillness waits   

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPpSZI1mpi0

Refrain:
For you, O lord,
my soul in stillness waits.
Truly my hope is in you.

1. O Lord of Light, our only hope of glory,
your radiance shines in all who look to you.
Come light the hearts of all in dark and shadow.

2. O Spring of Joy, rain down upon our spirits.
Our thirsty hearts are yearning for your Word.
Come, make us whole; be comfort to our hearts.

3. O Root of Life, implant your seed within us,
and in your advent draw us all to you,
our hope reborn in dying and in rising.

4. O Key of Knowledge, guide us in our pilgrimage,
We ever seek, yet unfulfilled remain.
Open to us the pathway of your peace.

5. Come, let us bow before the God who made us.
Let every heart be opened to the Lord,
for we are all the people of his hand.

6. Here we shall meet the makers of the heavens,
creator of the mountains and the seas,
Lord of the stars and present to us now.

End  84 Like a sea without a shore (Maranatha)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdPIt2GOf1s

Like a sea without a shore,
love divine is boundless.
Time is now and evermore,
and his love surrounds us.

(CHORUS)
Maranatha! Maranatha! Maranatha!
Come lord Jesus, come!

So that we could all be free,
He appeared among us,
Blest are those who have not seen,
Yet believe his promise.

All our visions all our dreams,
Are but ghostly shadows
of the Radiant clarity
waiting at life's close.

Death, where is your victory?
Death, where is your sting?
Closer than the air we breath
is our risen King.

Praise to the Lord, the almighty, the King of creation!

O my soul, praise him, for he is your health and salvation:

All you who hear, now to his temple draw near,

Join in profound adoration.

Praise to the Lord, above all things so mightily reigning.,

Keeping us safe at his side, and so gently sustaining.

Have you not seen all you have needed has been 
met by his gracious ordaining?

Praise to the Lord, who will prosper our work and defend us;

Surely his goodness and mercy here daily attend us;

Ponder anew What the Almighty can do,

who with his love will befriend us.

Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!

Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in us adore him!

All that has life and breath, come now in praises before him!

Let the Amen sound from his people again,
