Advent hymns and songs (alphabetical by first line):
All earth is waiting
All my heart this night rejoices
Angels from the realms of glory
Arise! the kingdom is at hand
As with gladness men of old
Awake! awake, and greet the new morn
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
Blessed be the God of Israel
Blest is the king whose coming
Brightest and best of the sons of the morning
Calm on the listening ear of night
Christ, whose glory fills the skies
City of God, Jerusalem
Come down, O Love divine
Come, O precious ransom, come
Come, thou desire of all thy saints
Comfort, comfort ye my people
Creator of the stars of night
Day of wrath, O day of mourning
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
Faithful soul, behold your King
Fling wide the door, unbar the gates
Good Christians, now rejoice
Great God, what do I see and hear
Hail to the Lord's Anointed
Hark! A thrilling voice is sounding
Hark the glad sound, the Savior comes
Hark! the herald angels sing
Hark, what mean those holy voices
Herald, sound the note of judgment
Hills of the North, rejoice
Hosanna to the coming Lord
I want to walk as a child of the light
Infant holy, infant lowly
It came upon the midnight clear
Jesus came, the heavens adoring
Jesus may come today
Jesus shall reign where'er the sun
Joy to the world! The Lord is come
Let all mortal flesh keep silence
Let the earth now praise the Lord
Lift up your heads, pilgrims a-weary
Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates
Light one candle to watch for Messiah
Lo, he comes with clouds descending
Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming
Lord, I lift my soul to thee
Lord of all hopefulness
Love divine, all loves excelling
Marvelous message we bring
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
My soul cries out with a joyful shout
Now the heavens start to whisper
O Bride of Christ, rejoice
O come, all ye faithful
O come, divine Messiah
O come, O come, Emmanuel
O day of God, draw nigh
O heavenly Word, eternal Light
O how shall I receive thee?
O little town of Bethlehem
O Lord, how shall I meet you
O Lord of light, our only hope of glory
O Savior, rend the heavens wide
O the King is coming
Of the Father's love begotten
On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry
Once he came in blessing
Once in royal David's city
People in darkness are looking for light
People, look east
Prepare the royal highway
Prepare the way, O Zion
Prepare the way of the Lord
Refiner's fire
Rejoice, rejoice believers!
Rejoice, rejoice, the Kingdom comes
Rejoice, the Lord is King!
Rise up, and shine
Savior of the nations, come
Send your word O Lord like the rain
Silent night, holy night
"Sleepers, wake!" a voice astounds us
Soon and very soon, we are going to see the King
Tell out, my soul
The advent of our God
The angel Gabriel from heaven came
The day of wrath! That dreadful day
The first Noel, the angel did say
The King shall come when morning dawns
The people that in darkness sat
The people who walked in darkness
The race that long in darkness pined
The sky shall unfold
The Word made flesh has dwelt among us
There's a voice in the wilderness crying
Thy Kingdom come, O God
Thy Kingdom come, on bended knee
Thou didst leave thy throne
Thou, whose almighty Word
To a maid whose name was Mary
Veiled in darkness, Judah lay
Wait for the Lord, whose day is near
Wake, awake, for night is flying
Watchman, tell us of the night
What child is this?
What is the crying at Jordan?
When He shall come
When the King shall come again
While shepherds watched their flocks by night
While we are waiting, come!
Who is the King of glory
Ye servants of the Lord
Ye who claim the faith of Jesus
You shall go out with joy
You'll hear the trumpet sound
