to the Christ's return to earth.
Help us to proclaim the gospel,
'til the world is reconciled.
Let us set your holy table
for each woman, man, and child.
3 God the Spirit, we are waiting
for your presence here and now.
Humbled by our sinful weakness,
at your mercy we will bow.

to receive you like a child. Scripture: Exodus 3:14 Used With Tune: HYFRYDOL

of loveliest form and grace,
as prophets sang, foreknowing;
it springs from Jesse's race,
and comes a perfect flower,
in midst of coldest winter,
at deepest midnight hour.
2 Isaiah hath foretold it
in words of promise sure,
and Mary's arms enfold it -
a gentle maiden pure.
Through God's eternal will
this child to her is given
at midnight calm and still.
3 This rose, whose fragrance tender
with sweetness fills the air,
dispels with glorious splendour
the darkness everywhere.
As human, yet true God,
from sin and death he saves us
and lightens every load.
4 0 Saviour, child of Mary,
you felt our human woe;
O Saviour, King of glory.
you all our weakness know.
Lead us at last, we pray.
to the full joys of heaven
and into endless day. Scripture: Colossians 1:19-20 Used With Tune: ES IST EIN ROS Text Sources: Anon. German, 15th cent.

Wise men, they came to look for wisdom
Author: Christopher Martin Idle (b. 1938) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Christmas and Epiphany; Christian Year Season of Epiphany 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: 1 Corinthians 1:30 Used With Tune: NEUMARK
Wise men, they came to look for wisdom
