Second Sunday in Advent

Praise the Lord! rejoice, ye Gentiles,
All ye people, laud His Name,
Let your lives, and let your voices
His eternal Love proclaim:
Praise to God the glorious Giver,
Christ the Saviour of the lost.
And the Comforter for ever.
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!

There shall be a root of Jesse,
And in Him, the wise and just,
That shall reign over the Gentiles,
Shall the Gentiles ever trust:
Praise to God the glorious Giver,
Christ the Saviour of the lost.
And the Comforter for ever.
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!

God of Hope! my heart's devotion
Wholly unto Thee belongs,
Wilt Thou not forgive its frailty?
Wilt Thou not accept its songs?
Praise to God the glorious Giver,
Christ the Saviour of the lost,
And the Comforter for ever,
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!

my God, how Thy Salvation
Fills my soul with peace and joy.
Patience gives, and consolation
Which the world cannot destroy:
Praise to God the glorious Giver,
Christ the Saviour of the lost.
And the Comforter for ever,
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!

For that Love whose tender mercies
Purest joys do daily bring,
I will in my life confess Thee,
With my mouth Thy praises sing:
Praise to God the glorious Giver,
Christ the Saviour of the lost.
And the Comforter for ever.
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!
