More lovely than the noonday light?
’Tis sent to announce a newborn king,
Glad tidings of our God to bring.

“From Jacob shall a star proceed”;
And lo! the eastern sages stand,
To read in heaven the Lord’s command.
3 O Jesus, while the star of grace
Impels us on to seek your face,
Let not our slothful hearts refuse
The guidance of your light to use.
4 To God Creator, heavenly light,
To Christ, revealed in earthly night
To God the Spirit blest we raise
An endless song of thankful praise!

O Jesus, I Have Promised
Author: John E. Bode Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 636 hymnals Topics: Year A Epiphany 3 Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, I have promised
to serve you to the end;
remain forever near me,
my Savior and my Friend;
I shall not fear life's struggles
if you are by my side,
nor wander from the pathway
if you will be my guide.
2 O let me hear you speaking
in accents clear and still,
above the storms of passion,
the murmurs of self-will!
O speak to reassure me,
to hasten or control!
O speak, and make me listen,
O guardian of my soul!
4 O Jesus, you have promised
to all who follow you
that where you are in glory
your servant shall be, too;
And, Jesus, I have promised
to serve you to the end;
O give me grace to follow
my Savior and my Friend! Scripture: John 14:1-4 Used With Tune: ANGEL'S STORY

To him thanksgiving I will bring;
with all his people I will raise
my voice and of his glory sing.
2 His saints delight to search and trace
his mighty works and wondrous ways.
Majestic glory, boundless grace,
and righteousness his work displays.
3 God's wondrous deeds of faithfulness
his people ever keep in mind.
His works of love and graciousness
reveal that God the LORD is kind.
4 God's promise shall forever stand;
he cares for those who trust his word.
Upon his saints his mighty hand
the wealth of nations has conferred.
5 His works are true and just indeed;
his precepts are forever sure.
In truth and righteousness decreed,
they shall forevermore endure.
6 By God's own hand redemption came;
his covenant sure no change can know.
Let all revere his holy name
in heaven above and earth below.

we find the key to wisdom's ways;

O Give the LORD Wholehearted Praise
From East to West, from Shore to Shore
Author: Caelius Sedulius (5th cent.?); John Ellerton (1826-1893) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 43 hymnals Topics: Epiphany Lyrics: 1 From east to west, from shore to shore,
let every heart awake and sing
the holy child whom Mary bore,
the Christ, the everlasting King.
2 Behold! The world's creator wears
the form and fashion of a slave;
our very flesh our Maker shares,
his fallen creatures all to save.
3 For this how wondrously he wrought!
A maiden, in her lowly place,
became, in ways beyond all thought,
the chosen vessel of his grace.
4 Assenting to the angel's word,
she chose what God the Spirit willed,
and suddenly the promised Lord
that pure and hallowed temple filled.
5 He shrank not from the oxen's stall,
he lay within the manger bed,
and he whose bounty feeds us all
at Mary's breast himself was fed.
6 And while the angels in the sky
sang praise above the silent field,
to shepherds poor the Lord most high,
the one great Shepherd, was revealed.
7 All glory for this blessèd morn
to God, the source of all, is due;
all praise to you, O Virgin-born,
all praise, O Holy Ghost, to you.

The saints on earth and those above
Author: Isaac Watts; Charles Wesley Appears in 78 hymnals Topics: Sixth Sunday after Epiphany Lyrics: 1 The saints on earth and those above
But one communion make;
Joined to their Lord, in bonds of love,
All of His grace partake.
2 One family, we dwell in Him,
One church above, beneath;
Though now divided by the stream,
The narrow stream of death.
3 One army of the living God,
To His command we bow;
Part of the host have crossed the flood,
And part are crossing now.
4 Lo! thousands to their endless home
Are swiftly borne away;
And we are to the margin come,
And soon must launch as they.
5 Lord Jesus! be our constant Guide!
Then when the word is given,
Bid death’s flood its waves divide,
And land us safe in heaven. Used With Tune: MEAR

Jesus! the name high over all
Author: C. Wesley (1707-1788 ) Appears in 303 hymnals Topics: Epiphany 1, Revelation The Baptism of Jesus Lyrics: 1 Jesus! the name high over all
in hell or earth or sky;
angels again before it fall
and devils fear and fly,
and devils fear and fly.
2 Jesus! the name to sinners dear,
the name to sinners given;
it scatters all their guilty fear,
it turns their hell to heaven,
it turns their hell to heaven.
3 Jesus the prisoner's fetters breaks
and bruises Satan's head;
power into strengthless souls he speaks
and life into the dead,
and life into the dead.
4 O that the world might taste and see
the riches of his grace!
The arms of love that welcome me
would all mankind embrace,
would all mankind embrace.
5 His righteousness alone I show,
his saving grace proclaim;
this is my work on earth below,
to cry 'Behold the Lamb!'
to cry 'Behold the Lamb!'
6 Happy if with my final breath
I may but gasp his name,
preach him to all, and cry in death,
'Christ Jesus is the Lamb!'
'Christ Jesus is the Lamb!'
Scripture: John 1:29 Used With Tune: LYDIA
Jesus! the name high over all
Fierce raged the tempest o'er the deep
Author: G. Thring Meter: 8.8.8.4 Appears in 134 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Fourth Sunday after Epiphany; The Church Year Fourth Sunday after Epiphany Lyrics: 1 Fierce raged the tempest o’er the deep,
Watch did Thine anxious servants keep,
But Thou wast wrapped in guileless sleep,
Calm and still.
2 "Save, Lord, we perish," was their cry,
"O save us in our agony!"
Thy word above the storm rose high,
"Peace, be still."
3 The wild winds hushed; the angry deep
Sank, like a little child, to sleep;
The sullen billows ceased to leap,
At Thy will.
4 So, when our life is clouded o’er,
And storm-winds drift us from the shore,
Say, lest we sink to rise no more,
"Peace, be still."

O God of Jacob, by whose hand

Thy people still are fed;
Who, through this weary pilgrimage,
Hast all our fathers led!
2 To Thee our humble vows we raise,
To Thee address our prayer;
And in Thy kind and faithful breast
Deposit all our care.
3 Through each perplexing path of life
Our wandering footsteps guide;
Give us by day our daily bread,
And raiment fit provide.
4 O spread thy covering wings around,
Till all our wanderings cease;
And at our fathers' loved abode
Our souls arrive in peace.
5 To Thee, as to our covenant God,
We'll our whole selves resign;
And thankful own, that all we are,
And all we have, is Thine. Used With Tune: IRISH
