Magnificat (Kenneth Leighton)<br />

INTERVAL - 20 Minutes<br />

The Linden Tree Carol (Old German tune, arr. Reginald Jacques)<br />

Blessed be that Maid Mary (Traditional, arr. David Willcocks)<br />

LO! HE COMES WITH CLOUDS DESCENDING<br />

1. Lo! He comes with clouds descending,<br />

Once for favoured sinners slain;<br />

Thousand thousand saints attending<br />

Swell the triumph of his train:<br />

Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!<br />

God appears, on earth to reign.<br />

2. Every eye shall now behold him<br />

Robed in dreadful majesty;<br />

Those who set at naught and sold him,<br />

Pierced and nailed him to the Tree,<br />

Deeply wailing (three times)<br />

Shall their true Messiah see.<br />

3. Those dear tokens of his passion<br />

Still his dazzling body bears;<br />

Cause of endless exultation<br />

To his ransomed worshippers;<br />

With what rapture (three times)<br />

Gaze we on those glorious scars!<br />

4. Yea, Amen! Let all adore thee,<br />

High on thine eternal throne;<br />

Saviour, take the power and glory,<br />

Claim the kingdom for thine own:<br />

O come quickly! (three times)<br />

Alleluia! Come, Lord, come!<br />
