Brightest and Best
Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826 Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 921 hymnals First Line: Brightest and best of the stars of the morning Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning,
dawn on our darkness and lend us your aid.
Star of the east, the horizon adorning,
guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
2 Cold on his cradle the dewdrops 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.
3 Shall we yield him in costly devotion
rarest of fragrances, tribute divine,
gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean,
myrrh from the forest and gold from the mine?
4 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.
5 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning,
dawn on our darkness and lend us your aid.
Star of the east, the horizon adorning,
guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.

Weary of earth, and laden with my sin
Author: Samuel John Stone Appears in 221 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Weary of earth, and laden with my sin,
I look to heaven, and long to enter in;
But there no evil thing may find a home,
And yet I hear a voice that bids me "Come."
2 It is the voice of Jesus that I hear;
His are the hands stretched out to draw me near,
And His the Blood that can for all atone,
And set me faultless there before the throne.
3 ’Twas He Who found me on the deathly wild,
And made me heir of heaven, the Father’s child,
And day by day, whereby my soul may live,
Gives me His grace of pardon, and will give.
4 O great Absolver, grant my soul may wear
The lowliest garb of penitence and prayer,
That in Thy Father’s courts my glorious dress
May be the garment of Thy righteousness.
5 Yea, Thou wilt answer for me, righteous Lord:
Thine all the merits, mine the great reward;
Thine the sharp thorns, and mine the golden crown,
Mine the life won, through Thine, the life laid down.
Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Repentance Used With Tune: REGNATOR ORBIS
Weary of earth, and laden with my sin
Not worthy, Lord, to gather up the crumbs
Author: Edward Henry Bickersteth Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 89 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Not worthy, Lord, to gather up the crumbs
With trembling hand, that from Thy table fall,
A weary, heavy-laden sinner comes
To plead Thy promise and obey Thy call.
2 I am not worthy to be thought Thy child,
Nor sit the last and lowest at Thy board;
Too long a wanderer, and too oft beguiled,
I only ask one reconciling word.
3 I hear Thy voice; Thou bid'st me come and rest;
I come, I kneel, I clasp Thy piercèd feet;
Thou bid'st me take my place, a welcome guest
Among Thy saints, and of Thy banquet eat.
4 My praise can only breathe itself in prayer,
My prayer can only lose itself in Thee;
Dwell Thou for ever in my heart, and there,
Lord, let me sup with Thee; sup Thou with me.
Amen. Topics: The Holy Communion Used With Tune: REGNATOR ORBIS

enter God’s presence with thanks and a song!
You are the rock of your people’s salvation
to whom our jubilant praises belong.
2 Ruled by your might are the heights of the mountains;
held in your hands are the depths of the earth.
Yours is the sea, yours the land, for you made them,
God above all gods, who gave us our birth.
3 We are your people, the sheep of your pasture;
you are our Maker, and to you we pray.
Gladly we kneel in obedience before you;
great is the one whom we worship this day!
4 Now let us listen, for you speak among us;
open our hearts to receive what you say.
Peace be to all who remember your goodness,
trust in your word, and rejoice in your way! Topics: Adoration; The Church; Creation; Gathering; Sovereignty of God Scripture: Psalm 95 Used With Tune: O QUANTA QUALIA

and confidently waiting come what may,
we know that God is with us night and morning,
and never fails to greet us each new day.
2 Yet is this heart by its old foe tormented,
still evil days bring burdens hard to bear;
Oh, give our frightened souls the sure salvation,
for which, O Lord, you taught us to prepare.
3 And when this cup you give is filled to brimming
with bitter suffering, hard to understand,
we take it thankfully and without trembling
out of so good and so beloved a hand.
4 Yet when again in this same world you give us
the joy we had, the brightness of your sun,
we shall remember all the days we lived through
and our whole life shall then be yours alone.
5 By gracious pow'rs so faithfully protected,
so quietly, so wonderfully near,
I'll live each day in hope, with you beside me,
and go with you through every coming year. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 11:25 Used With Tune: O QUANTA QUALIA

فارحا فارحا أمضي إلى ال
Author: اسعد الشدودي Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 فارِحاً فارِحاً أمضي إلى ال
مسكَنِ المستنيرِ بالحَملْ
مسرعاً نحوَ خُلاَّني الذينْ
سافروا قبلُ للمينا الأمينْ
حيث يستنظروني في النعيمْ
يا لَشوقي إلى المجد العظيمْ
كلهم ناظرُ الفادي هناكْ
فارحاً فارحاً أقصدُ ذاكْ
2 سوف ألقى صفوفَ الأطهرينْ
مع قياثيرِهم مستنظرينْ
قائلين ادخلِ المجدَ العظيمْ
يا له من سرورٍ مستديمْ
رنَّ في قُبّة الله العلي
صوتُ ترنيمِ ذاك المحفلِ
ها هنا موطنٌ تبقى عليهْ
فارحاً فارحاً أسرِعْ إليهْ
3 يا لَشوقي إلى ذاك اللقا
عند سمْعي ترانيمَ السما
يا نِبالَ المنايا لا أخافْ
فِعْلَكِ المرَّ يومَ الإنصرافْ
شوكة الموت قد داس المسيحْ
ربُّنا ساحقاً باب الضريحْ
مات عني لأحيا في حماهْ
فارحاً فارحاً عيني تراهْ Used With Tune: O QUANTA QUALIA
