wing your flight o’er all the earth;
As you sang creation’s story,
now proclaim Messiah’s birth:
Refrain:
Come and worship, come and worship,
worship Christ, give thanks and sing.
2 Shepherds, in the fields abiding,
watching o’er your flocks by night,
God with us is now residing,
yonder shines the infant light: [Refrain]
3 Sages, leave your contemplations,
brighter visions beam afar;
Seek the great Desire of Nations,
guided by Christ's natal star: [Refrain]
4 Saints, before the altar bending,
watching long in hope and fear,
Suddenly, our prayers attending,
Christ beside you shall appear. [Refrain] Scripture: Luke 2:8-20 Languages: English Tune Title: REGENT SQUARE
Angels, from the Realms of Glory
As with gladness men of old
Author: William C. Dix Hymnal: The Hymnal #135 (1950) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Topics: Jesus Christ the Lord His Epiphany; Christ Epiphany; Epiphany Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old
Did the guiding star behold;
As with joy they hailed its light,
Leading onward, beaming bright;
So, most gracious Lord, may we
Evermore be led to Thee.
2 As with joyful steps they sped
To that lowly manger bed,
There to bend the knee before
Him whom heaven and earth adore;
So may we with willing feet
Ever seek Thy mercy seat.
3 As they offered gifts most rare
At that manger rude and bare;
So may we with holy joy,
Pure, and free from sin's alloy,
All our costliest treasures bring,
Christ, to Thee, our heavenly King.
4 Holy Jesus, every day
Keep us in the narrow way;
And, when earthly things are past,
Bring our ransomed souls at last
Where they need no star to guide,
Where no clouds Thy glory hide.
Amen. Tune Title: DIX
As with gladness men of old
Brightest and best of the sons of the morning
Author: Bishop Reginald Heber Hymnal: The Hymnal #136 (1950) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Topics: Jesus Christ the Lord His Epiphany; Christ Epiphany; Epiphany Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning,
Dawn on our darkness and lend us thine 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 Saviour of all!
3 Say, shall we yield Him, in costly devotion,
Odors of Edom and offerings divine,
Gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean,
Myrrh from the forest, or 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 thine aid;
Star of the East, the horizon adorning,
Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
Amen. Tune Title: MORNING STAR
Brightest and best of the sons of the morning
O one with God the Father
Author: Bishop William Walsham How Hymnal: The Hymnal #137 (1950) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Jesus Christ the Lord His Epiphany; Christ Epiphany; Epiphany Lyrics: 1 O one with God the Father
In majesty and might,
The Brightness of His glory,
Eternal Light of light,
O'er this our home of darkness
Thy rays are streaming now;
The shadows flee before Thee,
The world's true Light art Thou.
2 Yet, Lord, we see but darkly:
O heavenly Light, arise!
Dispel these mists that shroud us,
And hide Thee from our eyes!
We long to track the footprints
That Thou Thyself hast trod:
We long to see the pathway
That leads to Thee our God.
3 O Jesus, shine around us
With radiance of Thy grace;
O Jesus, turn upon us
The brightness of Thy face.
We need no star to guide us,
As on our way we press,
If Thou Thy light vouchsafest,
O Sun of Righteousness.
Amen. Tune Title: ROTTERDAM
O one with God the Father
The First Nowell
Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #139 (1995) Meter: Irregular with refrain Topics: Year A Epiphany; Year B Epiphany; Year C Epiphany First Line: The first Nowell, the angel did say Lyrics: 1 The first Nowell the angel did say
was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep,
on a cold winter’s night that was so deep.
Refrain:
Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell,
born in a manger, Emmanuel.
2 They looked above and saw a star
shining in the east, beyond them far;
And to the earth it gave great light,
and so it continued both day and night. [Refrain]
3 And by the light of that same star
three sages came from country far,
To seek for a king was their intent,
and to follow the star wherever it went. [Refrain]
4 This star shone bright in the northwest,
o’er Bethlehem it took its rest,
And there it did both stop and stay,
right over the place where Jesus lay. [Refrain]
5 Then entered in those magi three,
and bending low upon their knee,
They offered there, in great reverence,
their gold and myrrh and frankincense. [Refrain]

O Christ, our true and only Light
Author: John Heermann; Miss Winkworth Hymnal: Church Book #145 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Epiphany; Epiphany, Second Sunday; Epiphany, Sixth Sunday Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our true and only Light,
Illumine those who sit in night;
Let those afar now hear Thy voice,
And in Thy fold with us rejoice.
2 Fill with the radiance of Thy grace
The souls now lost in error's maze,
And all, O Lord, whose secret minds,
Some dark delusion hurts and blinds.
3 And all who else have strayed from Thee,
O gently seek! Thy healing be
To every wounded conscience given,
And let them also share Thy heaven.
4 O make the deaf to hear Thy Word,
And teach the dumb to speak, dear Lord,
Who dare not yet the faith avow,
Though secretly they hold it now.
5 Shine on the darkened and the cold,
Recall the wanderers to Thy fold,
Unite those now who walk apart,
Confirm the weak and doubting heart.
6 So they with us may evermore
Such grace with wondering thanks adore,
And endless praise to Thee be given,
By all Thy Church in earth and heaven. Languages: English Tune Title: HERR JESU CHRIST, MEIN'S LEBENS LICHT

Manifested by the star
To the sages from afar;
Branch of Royal David's stem
In Thy birth at Bethlehem:
Anthems be to Thee addrest,
God in Man made manifest.

Prophet, Priest, and King supreme;
And at Cana wedding-guest
In the Godhead manifest;
Manifest in power Divine,
Changing water into wine;
Anthems be to Thee addrest,
God in Man made manifest.
3 Manifest in making whole
Palsied limbs and fainting soul;
Manifest in valiant fight,
Quelling all the devil's might;
Manifest in gracious will,
Ever bringing good from ill;
Anthems be to Thee addrest,
God in Man made manifest.
4 Grant us grace to see Thee, Lord,
Present in Thy holy Word;
May we imitate Thee now,
And be pure, as pure art Thou;
That we like Thee may be,
At Thy great Epiphany;
And may praise Thee, ever blest,
God in Man made manifest.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: HOLLINGSIDE

'Twas in the Moon of Wintertime

when all the birds had fled,
that mighty Gitchi Manitou
sent angel choirs instead;
Before their light the stars grew dim,
and wondering hunters heard the hymn:
Refrain:
Jesus Emmanuel, Jesus is born,
in excelsis gloria.
2 Within a lodge of broken bark
the tender babe was found;
a ragged robe of rabbit skin
enwrapped his beauty round;
But as the hunter braves drew nigh,
the angel song rang loud and high: [Refrain]
3 The earliest moon of wintertime
is not so round and fair
as was the ring of glory on
the helpless Infant there.
The chiefs from far before him knelt
with gifts of fox and beaver pelt. [Refrain]
4 O children of the forest free,
O seed of Manitou,
the holy Child of earth and heaven
is born today for you.
Come kneel before the radiant Child,
who brings you beauty, peace, so mild. [Refrain] Scripture: Luke 2:11 Languages: English Tune Title: UNE JEUNE PUCELLE

Bethl'hem, thou dost all excel:
out of thee the Lord from heaven
came to rule his Israel.
2 Fairer than the sun at morning
was the star that told his birth,
to the world its God announcing
seen in fleshly form on earth.
3 Eastern sages at his cradle
make oblations rich and rare;
see them give in deep devotion,
gold and frankincense and myrrh.
4 Sacred gifts of mystic meaning:
incense doth their God disclose,
gold the King of kings proclaimeth,
myrrh his sepulcher foreshows.
5 Jesu, whom the Gentiles worshipped
at thy glad Epiphany,
unto thee with God the Father
and the Spirit glory be. Scripture: John 1:14 Languages: English Tune Title: STUTTGART
