As with Gladness Men of Old

Author: William C. Dix Hymnal: LH1941 #127 (1941) 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 glorious Lord, may we Evermore be led by Thee! 2 As with joyful steps they sped Savior, to Thy lowly bed, There to bend the knee before Him whom heav'n and earth adore, So may we with willing feet Ever seek Thy mercy seat! 3 As they offered gifts most rare At Thy cradle, 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 heav'nly 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. 5 In the heavenly country bright, Need they no created light; Thou its Light, its Joy, its Crown, Thou its Sun which goes not down; There forever may we sing Alleluias to our King! Amen. Topics: The Church Year Epiphany Scripture: Matthew 2:1-11 Languages: English Tune Title: DIX

Brightest and Best of the Sons of the Morning

Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: LH1941 #128 (1941) Meter: 11.10.11.10 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 Savior of all. 3 Shall we not yield Him, in costly devotion Odors of Edom and off'rings 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: The Church Year Epiphany Scripture: Matthew 2:11 Languages: English Tune Title: MORNING STAR

Now revealed to Eastern sages, See the Star of Mercy shine, Myst'ry hid in former ages, Myst'ry great of love divine. 3 Hail, Thou all-inviting Savior! Gentiles now their off'rings bring; In Thy temples seek Thy favor, Jesus Christ, our Lord and King. May we, body, soul, and spirit, Live devoted to Thy praise, Glorious realms of bliss inherit, Grateful anthems ever raise! Amen.

O Jesus, King of Glory

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Martin Behm Hymnal: LH1941 #130 (1941) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, King of Glory, Both David’s God and Son! Thy realm endures forever, In heav'n is fixed Thy throne. Help that in earth’s dominions Thro'out from pole to pole, Thy realm may spread salvation To each benighted soul. 2 The Eastern sages, bringing Their tribute gifts to Thee, Bear witness to Thy kingdom And humbly bow the knee. To Thee the star is pointing, And the prophetic Word; Hence joyously we hail Thee: Our Savior and our Lord! 3 Thou art a mighty Monarch, As by Thy Word is told, Yet carest Thou but little For earthly goods or gold; On no proud steed Thou ridest, Thou wear’st no jeweled crown Nor dwell’st in lordly castle, But bearest scoff and frown. 4 Yet art Thou decked with beauty, With rays of glorious light; Thy works proclaim Thy goodness, And all Thy ways are right. Vouchsafe to shield Thy people With Thine almighty arm That they may dwell in safety From those who mean them harm. 5 Ah, look on me with pity Though I am weak and poor; Admit me to Thy kingdom To dwell there, blest and sure. I pray Thee, guide and keep me Safe from my bitter foes, From sin and death and Satan; Free me from all my woes. 6 And bid Thy Word within me Shine as the fairest star; Keep sin and all false doctrine From all Thy people far. Help me confess Thee truly And with Thy Christendom Here own Thee King and Savior And in the world to come. Amen.

The Star Proclaims the King Is Here

Author: John M. Neale; Coelius Sedulius Hymnal: LH1941 #131 (1941) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The star proclaims the King is here; But, Herod, why this senseless fear? He takes no realms of earth away Who gives the realms of heav'nly day. 2 The wiser Magi see from far And follow on His guiding star; And, led by light, to light they press And by their gifts their God confess. 3 Within the Jordan's crystal flood In meekness stands the Lamb of God And, sinless, sanctifies the wave, Mankind from sin to cleanse and save. 4 At Cana first His power is shown; His might the blushing waters own And, changing as He speaks the word, Flow wine, obedient to their Lord. 5 All glory, Jesus, be to Thee For this Thy glad epiphany; Whom with the Father we adore And Holy Ghost forevermore. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Epiphany Scripture: Matthew 2:9 Languages: English Tune Title: WO GOTT ZUM HAUS

To Thee where angels know no night The song of praise forever rings. To Him who sits upon the throne, The Lamb once slain for sinful men, Be honor, might, all by Him won, Glory and praise! Amen, Amen. 2 Deep in the prophets' sacred page, Grand in the poets' winged word, Slowly, in type, from age to age, Nations beheld their coming Lord, Till through the deep Judean night Rang out the song "Good will to men!" Hymned by the first-born sons of light, Reechoed now, "Good will!" Amen. 3 That life of truth, those deeds of love, That death of pain, mid hate and scorn, These all are past, and now above He reigns our King, once crowned with thorn. Lift up your heads, ye heav'nly gates; So sang His hosts, unheard by men; Lift up your heads, for you He waits. We lift them up. Amen, Amen. 4 Nations afar, in ign'rance deep, Isles of the sea, where darkness lay, These hear His voice, they wake from sleep, And throng with joy the upward way. They cry with us, "Send forth Thy light, O Lamb, once slain for sinful men; Burst Satan's bonds, O God of might; Set all men free!" Amen, Amen. 5 Sing to the Lord a glorious song; Sing to His name, His love forthtell; Sing on, heav'n's host, His praise prolong; Sing, ye who now on earth do dwell: Worthy the Lamb for sinners slain; From angels praise and thanks from men; Worthy the Lamb, enthroned to reign, Glory and power! Amen, Amen. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Epiphany Scripture: Psalm 43:3 Languages: English Tune Title: O GROSSER GOTT

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Hymnal: LH1941 #134 (1941) 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 man made manifest. 2 Manifest at Jordan's stream, Prophet, Priest, and King supreme, And at Cana, Wedding-guest, In Thy Godhead manifest; Manifest in pow'r divine, Changing water into wine. Anthems be to Thee addressed, 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 addressed, God in man made manifest. 4 Sun and moon shall darkened be, Stars shall fall, the heav'ns shall flee; Christ will then like lightning shine, All will the the trumpet hear, All will see the Judge appear; Thou by all wilt be confessed, God in man made manifest. 5 Grant us grace to see Thee, Lord, Mirrored in Thy holy Word; May we imitate Thee now And be pure as pure art Thou That we like to Thee may be At Thy great Epiphany And may praise Thee, ever blest, God in man made manifest. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Epiphany Scripture: 1 Peter 1:20 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GEORGE
