There's a mother's deep prayer and a baby's low cry! And the star rains its fire while the angel choirs sing, for the manger of Bethlehem cradles a king! 2 There's a tumult of joy o'er the wonderful birth, for the virgin's sweet boy is the Lord of the earth. See, the star rains its fire while the angel choirs sing, for the manger of Bethlehem cradles a king! 3 We rejoice in the light, and we echo the song that comes down through the night from the heavenly throng, and we welcome the glorious gospel they bring, and we greet in the cradle our savior and king.

Brightest and Best

Star of the east, the horizon adorning, guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. 2 Shall we give Jesus our costly devotion, fragrance of Edom, and off'rings divine, gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean, myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine? 3 Vainly we offer each ample oblation, vainly with gifts Jesus' favor secure. Richer by far is the heart’s adoration. Dearer to God are the gifts of the poor. 4 Brightest and best of the stars of the morning, dawn on our pathway, and lend us your aid. Star of the east, the horizon adorning, guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. Used With Tune: STAR IN THE EAST

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2,055 hymnals Topics: God Known in Jesus Christ Suffering and Death Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross on which the Prince of glory died, my richest gain I count but loss, and pour contempt on all my pride. 2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, save in the cross of Christ, my God: all the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to his blood. 3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet, sorrow and love flow mingled down! Did e’er such love and sorrow meet, or thorns compose so rich a crown? 4 Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were an offering far too small; love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all.

O the pangs his soul sustained! Shun not suff'ring, shame, or loss; learn of him to bear the cross. 3 Calv'ry’s mournful mountain climb; there, adoring at his feet, mark that miracle of time, God’s own sacrifice complete: “It is finished!” hear him cry; learn of Jesus Christ to die. 4 Early hasten to the tomb where they laid his breathless clay; all is solitude and gloom. Who has taken him away? Christ is ris'n! He meets our eyes; Savior, teach us so to rise. Used With Tune: REDHEAD 76
