Brightest and Best of the Stars
Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826 Hymnal: Worship and Rejoice #235 (2003) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Scripture: Job 38:7 First Line: Brightest and best of the stars of the morning Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the stars of the morning,
dawn on our darkness and come to our aid;
star of the east, the horizon adorning,
guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
2 What shall we give him, in costly devotion?
Shall we bring incense and offerings divine,
gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean,
myrrh from the forest or gold from the mine?
3 Vainly we offer each lavish oblation,
vainly with gifts would his favor secure;
richer by far is the heart’s adoration,
dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.
4 Brightest and best of the stars of the morning,
dawn on our darkness and come to our aid;
star of the east, the horizon adorning,
guide where our infant Redeemer is laid! Topics: Epiphany Languages: English Tune Title: MORNING STAR

Dawn on our darkness and lend us your aid,
Star of the east, the horizon adorning,
Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
2 Say, shall we yield him in costly devotion,
Odors of Edom and off'rings divine,
Gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean,
Myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine?
3 Vainly we offer each ample oblation,
Vainly with gifts would His favor secure;
Richer by far is the heart's adoration,
Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.
4 Cold on his cradle the dew-drops are shining,
Low lies his head with the beasts of the stall;
Angels adore him in slumber reclining,
Maker and Monarch and Savior of all.

O little town of Bethlehem
Author: Phillips Brooks, 1835-1893 Hymnal: Common Praise #63a (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Scripture: Job 38:7 Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem,
how still we see thee lie!
above thy deep and dreamless sleep
the silent stars go by:
yet in thy dark streets shineth
the everlasting Light;
the hopes and fears of all the years
are met in thee tonight.
2 O morning stars, together
proclaim the holy birth,
and praises sing to God the King,
and peace to men on earth.
For Christ is born of Mary;
and, gathered all above,
while mortals sleep, the angels keep
their watch of wondering love.
3 How silently, how silently,
the wondrous gift is given!
so God imparts to human hearts
the blessings of his heaven.
No ear may hear his coming;
but in this world of sin,
where meek souls will receive him, still
the dear Christ enters in.
4 O holy Child of Bethlehem,
descend to us, we pray;
cast out our sin, and enter in:
be born in us today.
We hear the Christmas angels,
the great glad tidings tell:
O come to us, abide with us,
our Lord Emmanuel. Topics: Christmas; Chirstimas Midnight Languages: English Tune Title: FOREST GREEN

1 ¡Oh, aldehuela de Belén!
Afortunada tú,
pues en tus campos brilla hoy
la sempiterna luz.
El Hijo tan deseado
con santa expectación,
el anunciado Salvador
en ti, Belén, nació.
2 Allá do el Redentor nació
los ángeles están
velando todos con amor
al niño sin igual.
¡Estrellas rutilantes,
a Dios la gloria dad!
Pues hoy el cielo nos mostró
Su buena voluntad.
3 Calladamente Dios nos da
su incomparable don;
así también impartirá
Sus bendiciones hoy.
Ningún oído acaso
perciba su venir,
mas el de humilde corazón
le habrá de recibir.
4 ¡Oh Santo Niño de Belén!
Desciende con tu paz;
en nuestras almas nace hoy
limpiando todo mal.
Los ángeles del cielo
te anuncian al nacer;
¡ven con nosotros a morar,
oh Cristo, Emanuel! Topics: Año Cristiano Navidad; Christian Year Christmas Languages: English; Spanish Tune Title: ST. LOUIS
