Star of Ocean Fairest
Author: Thomas I. Ball, 1838-1916 Meter: 6.6.6.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Star of ocean fairest,
Mother, God who barest,
Virgin thou immortal,
Heaven’s blissful portal.
2 Ave thou receivest,
Gabriel’s word believest;
Change to peace and gladness
Eva’s name of sadness.
3 Loose the bonds of terror,
Lighten blinded error;
All our ills repressing,
Pray for every blessing.
4 Mother’s care displaying,
Offer Him thy praying,
Who when born our brother,
Chose thee for His mother.
5 Virgin, all excelling,
Gentle past our telling;
Pardoned sinners render
Gentle, chaste and tender.
6 In pure paths direct us;
On our way protect us;
Till, on Jesus gazing,
We shall join thy praising.
7 Father, Son eternal,
Holy Ghost supernal,
With one praise we bless Thee,
Three in One confess Thee. Used With Tune: AVE MARIS STELLA Text Sources: Unknown author, 9th century

Go Up, Go Up, My Heart
Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 6.6.6.6 Appears in 25 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Go up, go up, my heart,
Dwell with thy God above;
For here thou canst not rest,
Nor here give out thy love.
2 Go up, go up, my heart!
Be not a trifler here;
Ascend above these clouds,
Dwell in a higher sphere.
3 Let not thy love flow out
To things so soiled and dim;
Go up to Heav’n and God;
Take up thy love to Him.
4 Waste not thy precious stores
On pleasure here below:
To God that wealth belongs;
On Him that wealth bestow.
5 Go up, reluctant heart!
Take up thy rest above;
Arise, earth-clinging thoughts;
Ascend, my lingering love! Used With Tune: ARRAN Text Sources: Church Music by Leonard W. Bacon (Rochester, NY: E. Durrow & Brother, 1855)
Go Up, Go Up, My Heart
To Thee, O Christ, our God
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 6.6.6.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics:
I
To Thee, O Christ, our God,
Great Shepherd, who didst bear
The wandering sheep that strayed
Back to Thy shepherd care;
II
Who, pitying, gav’st Thy life,
That we might stray no more,—
To Thee our hearts we raise,
And Thee our songs adore.
III
Blest Spirit, source of life,
From Hades’ fearful gloom
Thou brought’st the Shepherd, Christ,
Who lay in mortal tomb,
IV
That He might still provide,
And tend, and guard, and keep,
Where’er His flock, abides
One Shepherd, of His sheep.
To Thee, O Christ, our God
Antiphon A (From the Office of Dawn)
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 6.6.6.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: In mine affliction, Lord Lyrics:
In mine affliction, Lord,
My cry went up to Thee,
And to my sorrowing heart,
Thou gav'st Thy mercy free.
When life is parched and dry,
Refreshing streams appear,
And earth's vain sounds are dead
To my enchanted ear.
To Holy Ghost be praise,
To Father and to Son:
Almighty Trinity,
While endless ages run.

Foretold by raptured seers—

Meter: 6.6.6.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thrice blessed Word of God!
Gift of a Father's love,
Which holy prophets wrote,
Moved by the Holy Dove:
2 Within thy pages fair,
What hidden treasure lies!
Sweet lessons for the young,
Deep wisdom for the wise,
3 A well of water pure,
A mine of priceless gold;
The eye of faith alone
thy secrets can unfold.
4 Yet may the childlike heart
From thy sweet teaching learn
The way to endless life,
And Jesus' mind discern.
5 Therefore with grateful hearts,
O Trinity divine,
We magnify Thy name,
For this blest gift of Thine. Topics: Word of God Used With Tune: THRICE BLESSED WORD OF GOD
Thrice blessed Word of God!
