Sun of My Soul, Thou Saviour Dear
Author: John Keble, 1792-1866 Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #121 (1999) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Sun of my soul, Thou Saviour dear,
It is not night if Thou be near;
O may no earth-born cloud arise
To hide Thee from Thy servant's eyes.
2 When the soft dews of kindly sleep
My wearied eyelids gently steep,
Be my last thought, how sweet to rest
Forever on my Saviour's breast.
3 Abide with me from morn till eve,
For without Thee I cannot live;
Abide with me when night is nigh,
For without Thee I dare not die.
4 If some poor wandering child of Thine
Have spurned today, the voice divine,
Now, Lord, the gracious work begin;
Let him no more lie down in sin.
5 Watch by the sick; enrich the poor
With blessings from Thy boundless store;
Be every mourner's sleep tonight,
Like infants' slumbers, pure and light.
6 Be near and bless us when we wake,
Ere through the world our way we take,
Till, in the ocean of Thy love,
We lose ourselves in heaven above.
AMEN. Topics: Epiphany Languages: English Tune Title: HURSLEY

Brings the night its peace profound;
Let our vesper hymn be blending
With the holy calm around.
Jubilate! Jubilate!
Jubilate! Amen!
Let our vesper hymn be blending
With the holy calm around.
2 Soon as dies the sunset glory,
Stars of heaven shine out above,
Telling still the ancient story–
Their Creator's changeless love.
Jubilate! Jubilate!
Jubilate! Amen!
Telling still the ancient story–
Their Creator's changeless love.
3 Now, our wants and burdens leaving
To His care who cares for all,
Cease we fearing, cease we grieving;
At His touch our burdens fall.
Jubilate! Jubilate!
Jubilate! Amen!
Cease we fearing, cease we grieving;
At His touch our burdens fall.
4 As the darkness deepens o'er us,
Lo! eternal stars arise;
Hope and faith and love rise glorious,
Shining in the spirit's skies.
Jubilate! Jubilate!
Jubilate! Amen!
Hope and faith and love rise glorious,
Shining in the spirit's skies.

The First Noel the Angel Did Say
Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #123 (1999) Meter: Irregular with refrain First Line: The first Noel, the angel did say Refrain First Line: Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Lyrics: 1 The first Noel, 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:
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.
2 They looked up 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 wise-men came from country far,
To seek for a king was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went. [Refrain]
4 This star drew nigh to 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 wise-men three,
Full reverently upon the knee,
And offered there, in His presence,
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense. [Refrain]
AMEN.

We Three Kings of Orient Are
Author: John H Hopkins, 1820-1891 Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #124 (1999) Meter: 8.8.8.6 with refrain Refrain First Line: O star of wonder, star of night Lyrics: 1 We three kings of Orient are;
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Following yonder star.
Refrain:
O star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to Thy perfect light.
2 Born a King on Bethlehem’s plain,
Gold I bring to crown Him again,
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign. [Refrain]
3 Frankincense to offer have I:
Incense owns a Deity nigh;
Prayer and praising, all men raising,
Worship Him, God on high. [Refrain]
4 Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom:
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying,
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb. [Refrain]
5 Glorious now, behold him arise,
King and God and Sacrifice;
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Sounds thro' the earth and skies. [Refrain]

As With Gladness Men of Old
Author: William C Dix, 1837-1898 Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #125 (1999) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 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 joyous 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. Topics: Epiphany Languages: English Tune Title: DIX

Brightest and Best of the Sons
Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826 Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #126 (1999) Meter: 11.10.11.10 First Line: Brightest and best of the sons of the morning 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 dew-drops 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, 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 Thine aid;
Star of the East, the horizon adorning,
Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
AMEN. Topics: Epiphany Languages: English Tune Title: MORNING STAR

The Only Son From Heaven
Author: Thomas a Kempis; Elizabeth Cruciger Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #127 (1999) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.6 Lyrics: 1 The only Son from heaven,
Foretold by ancient seers,
By God the Father given,
In human form appears.
No sphere his light confining,
No star so brightly shining
As he, our Morning Star.
2 Oh, time of God appointed,
Oh, bright and holy morn!
He comes, the king anointed,
The Christ, the virgin-born,
Grim death to vanquish for us,
To open heav'n before us
And bring us life again.
3 Awaken, Lord, our spirit
To know and love you more,
In faith to stand unshaken,
In spirit to adore,
That we, through this world moving,
Each glimpse of heaven proving,
May reap its fullness there.
4 O Father, here before you
With God the Holy Ghost,
And Jesus, we adore you,
O pride of angel-host:
Before you mortals lowly
Cry, "Holy, holy, holy,
O blessed Trinity!"

Oh, Love, How Deep
Author: Thomas a Kempis, 1380-1471; Benjamin Webb, 1819-1885 Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #128 (1999) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Oh, love, how deep, how broad, how high Lyrics: 1 Oh, love, how deep, how broad, how high,
Beyond all thought and fantasy,
That God, the Son of God, should take
Our mortal form for mortal's sake!
2 He sent no angel to our race,
Of higher or of lower place,
But wore the robe of human frame,
And to this world Himself he came.
3 For us baptized, for us he bore
His holy fast and hungered sore;
For us temptation sharp he knew,
For us the tempter overthrew.
4 For us he prayed, for us he taught;
For us his daily works he wrought.
By words and signs and actions thus
Still seeking not himself, but us. Topics: Lent/Palm Sunday Languages: English Tune Title: DEO GRACIAS
Oh, Love, How Deep
From God the Father, Virgin-Born
Author: John M. Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #129 (1999) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 From God the Father, virgin-born
To us the only Son came down;
By death the font to consecrate,
The faithful to regenerate.
2 Beginning from his home on high,
In human flesh he came to die;
Creation by his death restored,
And shed new joys of life abroad.
3 Glide on, O glorious Sun, and bring
The gift of healing on your wing;
To ev'ry dull and clouded sense
The clearness of your light dispense.
4 Abide with us, O Lord, we pray;
The gloom of darkness chase away;
Your work of healing, Lord, begin,
And take away the stain of sin.
5 Lord, once you came to earth’s domain
And, we believe, shall come again;
Be with us on the battlefield,
From ev'ry harm your people shield.
6 To you, O Lord, all glory be
For this your blest epiphany;
To God whom all his hosts adore.
And Holy Spirit evermore. Topics: Lent/Palm Sunday Languages: English Tune Title: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM

Songs of Thankfulness and Praise
Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-1885 Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #130 (1999) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 1 Songs of thankfulness and praise,
Jesus, Lord, to thee we raise;
Manifested by the star
To the sages from afar,
Branch of royal David's stem
In thy birth at Bethlehem;
Anthems be to thee addressed,
God in flesh made manifest.
2 Manifest at Jordan's stream,
Prophet, Priest, and King supreme;
And at Cana, wedding-guest,
In thy Godhead manifest;
Manifest in power divine,
Changing water into wine;
Anthems be to thee addressed,
God in flesh 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 addressed,
God in flesh made manifest.
4 Grant us grace to see thee, Lord,
Present in thy holy Word;
Grace to imitate thee now
And be pure, as pure art thou;
That we might become like thee
At thy great Epiphany,
And may praise thee, ever blest,
God in flesh made manifest. Topics: Epiphany Languages: English Tune Title: SALZBURG
