O Morning Star, So Fair And Bright

Author: Phil. Nicolai Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7.4.8.4.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Morning Star, so pure and bright, Whose rays shed forth pure truth and light, Thou Sov'reign meek and lowly; Sweet Root of Jesse, Thou who art The Lord and Bridegroom of the heart, Deign Thou to own me wholly. Loving art Thou Great and glorious, all victorious, Rich in blessing, Rule and might o'er all possessing. 2 Thou radiant Brightness from above, Fill Thou my heart with heav'nly love, Nor may Thy grace forsake me; O fill Thou me with joy divine, And let me be forever Thine; Thy fruitful member make me. Tow'rd Thee longing Doth possess me, do Thou bless me, Sun of gladness, Lest my soul repine in sadness. 3 If Thou but look on me in love, God draweth near me from above With joy's o'erflowing measure; Lord Jesus Christ, my highest Good, Thy Word and Spirit, flesh and blood, My inmost heart doth treasure. With Thy bounty Draw Thou near me, warm and cheer me, Firmly hold me; Keep me Thine, in love enfold me. 4 Here will I rest, and e'er hold fast: My Bridegroom is the First and Last, The source and goal forever; Here I may calmly die, for Thou Wilt take me where Thou dwellest now, Naught Thee and me shall sever. Amen! Amen! Come, we pray Thee, nor delay Thee; We with yearning Look, O Lord, for Thy returning. Topics: The Means of Grace The Redeemer Used With Tune: NICOLAI Text Sources: Tr. composite

To tidings by the prophets borne Hast Thou fulfillment given. O sacred and immortal day, When unto earth, in glorious ray, Descends the grace of heaven, Singing, Ringing, Sounds are blending, Praises sending Unto heaven For the Savior to us given. 2 ’Tis God’s own Image and, withal, The Son of Man, that mortals all May find in Him a brother. He comes, with peace and love to bide On earth, the erring race to guide And help as could no other; Rather Gather, Closer, fonder, Sheep that wander, Feed and fold them, Than let evil powers hold them. 3 He tears, like other men, will shed, Our sorrows share and be our aid Through His eternal power; The Lord’s good will unto us show, And mingle in our cup of woe The drops of mercy’s shower; Dying, Buying, Through His passion Our salvation, And to mortals Opening the heav'nly portals. 4 He comes, for our redemption sent, And by His glory heav'n is rent, To close upon us never; Our blessed Shepherd He would be, Whom we may follow faithfully And be with Him forever; Higher, Nigher Glory winging, Praises singing To the Father And His Son, our Lord and Brother.

Among us dwells in truth and grace The hidden God, who loves our race; He brought us all salvation. The glory of the Son we see, The only Son’s true majesty, And bow in adoration. Draw near and hear, Every nation now salvation God bestoweth. And His love and mercy showeth. 3. Rejoice, my soul, and bless His name Who to the lost and fallen came To open Heaven’s portals.

O Jesus Christ, how bright and fair

Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Kelly Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Jesus Christ, how bright and fair The state of holy marriage, where Thy blessing rich is given! What gracious gifts Thou dost bestow, What streams of bounty ever flow Down from Thy holy heaven, When they Obey Thee, Lord, ever Leave Thee never, Whose troth-plighted, In one life have been united! 2 When man and wife are mated well, In harmony together dwell In chaste and faithful union, Then grows their fortune with their love, And angel visitants above Rejoice at such communion; No storm, No worm Can destroy that, Can e'er gnaw that, What God giveth To the pair that in Him liveth. 3 Be of good cheer, it was not we Who first this order did decree; It was a higher Father, Who loved and liveth us for aye, And from whose lips, when grieved, each day We friendly counsel gather; Good end He'll send To our doing and pursuing, Wisely guiding All our planning and providing. 4 A time will come, it cannot fail, When we 'neath trials sore shall quail, And tears be freely flowing; To him who bears it patiently, By God's grace shall His sorrow be Turned into joy o'erflowing. Waive care, Wait, bear; He is near thee, Who can cheer thee, For thy sadness He will give thee oil of gladness. 5 Come hither then, my King so bless'd! In trials guide, in pain give rest, In anxious times relieving! To Thee we shall ascribe the praise, Our hearts and voices we shall raise In one loud song, thanks giving, Till we With Thee Shall be dwelling And there telling Thy praise ever, Nevermore from Thee to sever.
