Christ upon the Mountain Peak
Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #180 (1990) Meter: 7.8.7.8 with alleluia Topics: Epiphany Season Lyrics: 1 Christ upon the mountain peak
stands alone in glory blazing;
let us, if we dare to speak,
with the saints and angels praise him:
Alleluia!
2 Trembling at his feet we saw
Moses and Elijah speaking;
all the prophets and the law
shout through them their joyful greeting:
Alleluia!
3 Swift the cloud of glory came,
God proclaiming in the thunder
Jesus as his Son by name;
nations cry aloud in wonder!
Alleluia!
4 This is God's beloved Son:
law and prophets before him;
First and Last and only One,
let creation now adore him!
Alleluia!

Brightest and Best of the Stars
Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #182 (1990) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Topics: Epiphany Season 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 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!
Scripture: Job 38:7 Languages: English Tune Title: MORNING STAR
Brightest and Best of the Stars
Wise Men, They Came to Look
Author: Christopher Idle Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #186 (1990) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Topics: Epiphany Season First Line: Wise men, they came to look for wisdom Lyrics: 1 Wise men, they came to look for wisdom,
finding one wiser than they knew;
rich men, they met with one yet richer--
King of the kings, they knelt to you:
Jesus our wisdom from above,
wealth and redemption, life and love.
2 Pilgrims they were, from unknown countries,
searching for one who knows the world;
lost are their names, and strange their journeys,
famed is their zeal to find the child:
Jesus, in you the lost are claimed,
aliens are found, and known, and named.
3 Magi, they stooped to see your splendor,
led by a star to light supreme;
promised Messiah, Lord eternal,
glory and peace are in your name.
Joy of each day, our Song by night,
shine on our path your holy light.
4 Guests of their God, they opened treasures,
incense and gold and solemn myrrh;
welcoming one too young to question
how came these gifts, and what they were.
Gift beyond price of gold or gem,
make among us your Bethlehem. Scripture: Daniel 2:21 Languages: English Tune Title: WER NUR DEN LIEBEN GOTT
Wise Men, They Came to Look

heaven brought near in power divine;

Jesus, Lord, to you we raise,
once revealed, when heaven's star
brought the wise men from afar;
Branch of royal David's stem

Word before the world began,
God revealed to us in man.

Cana's holy wedding guest
keeping to the last the best,
Word before the world began,
God revealed to us in man.
3 God revealed in valiant fight,
conquering the devil's might,
sins forgiven, sickness healed,
life restored and God revealed:
once revealed in gracious will
ever bringing good from ill,

all will see the Son appear,
Word before the world began,
God revealed to us in man. Scripture: Matthew 24:29-31 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GEORGE'S WINDSOR

Your Hands, O Lord, in Days of Old
Author: Edward Hayes Plumptre (1821-1891) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #293 (1998) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Epiphany (season) Lyrics: 1 Your hands, O Lord, in days of old
were strong to heal and save;
they triumphed over pain and death,
o'er darkness and the grave.
To you they went, the blind, the mute,
the palsied and the lame,
the leper set apart and shunned,
the sick with fevered frame.
2 And then your touch brought life and health,
gave speech and strength and sight;
and youth renewed, with health restored,
claimed you, the Lord of light.
And so, O Lord, be near to bless,
almighty now as then,
in every street, in every home,
in every troubled friend.
3 O be our mighty healer still,
O Lord of life and death;
restore and strengthen, soothe and bless
with your almighty breath.
On hands that work and eyes that see,
your healing wisdom pour,
that whole and sick and weak and strong
may praise you evermore. Scripture: Psalm 6 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. MICHAEL'S
Your Hands, O Lord, in Days of Old
Praise the One Who Breaks the Darkness
Author: Rusty Edwards (1955-) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #397 (1998) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Epiphany (season) Lyrics: 1 Praise the one who break the darkness
with a liberating light.
Praise the one who frees the prisoners,
turning blindness into sight.
Praise the one who preached the gospel,
healing every dread disease,
calming storms and feeding thousands
with the very bread of peace.
2 Praise the one who blessed the children
with a strong yet gentle word.
Praise the one who drove out demons
with a piercing two-edged sword.
Praise the one who brings cool water
to the desert's burning sand.
From this well comes living water
quenching thirst in every land.
3 Praise the one true love incarnate:
Christ who suffered in our place.
Jesus died and rose for many
that we may know God by grace.
Let us sing for joy and gladness,
seeing what our God has done.
Praise the one redeeming glory;
praise the One who makes us one. Scripture: Isaiah 61 Languages: English Tune Title: NETTLETON

Joy of heaven, to earth come down!
Fix in us Thy humble dwelling,
All thy faithful mercies crown.
Jesus, Thou art all compassion,
Pure, unbounded love Thou art;
Visit us with Thy salvation,
Enter every trembling heart!
2 Breathe, O breathe Thy loving spirit
Into every troubled breast!
Let us all in Thee inherit,
Let us find Thy promised rest.
Take away the love of sinning,
Alpha and Omega be;
End of faith, as its beginning,
Set our hearts at liberty.
3 Come, Almighty, to deliver,
Let us all Thy life receive;
Graciously return, and never,
Never more Thy temples leave!
Thee we would be always blessing,
Serve Thee as Thy hosts above,
Pray and praise Thee without ceasing,
Glory in Thy precious love.
4 Finish then Thy new creation,
Pure and spotless let us be;
Let us see Thy great salvation
Perfectly restored in Thee!
Changed from glory into glory,
Till in heaven we take our place,
Till we cast our crowns before Thee,
Lost in wonder, love, and praise. Languages: English Tune Title: RIPLEY
Love divine, all love excelling
