Brightest and Best
Author: Reginald Hebee Meter: 11.10.11.10 D Appears in 921 hymnals Topics: Offering First Line: Brightest and best of the stars of the morning Lyrics: 1 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.
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

O Jesus, I Have Promised
Author: John E. Bode Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 632 hymnals Topics: Dedication and Offering; Offering Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, I have promised
to serve you to the end;
be now and ever near me,
my Master and my Friend.
I shall not fear the battle
if you are by my side,
nor wander from the pathway
if you will be my guide.
2 O let me feel you near me;
the world is ever near:
I see the sights that dazzle,
the tempting sounds I hear.
My foes are ever near me,
around me and within;
but, Jesus, draw still nearer
and shield my soul from sin!
3 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;
and speak to 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 servants shall be too.
O guide me, call me, draw me,
uphold me to the end,
when you in glory take me,
my Savior and my Friend.

God, Whose Giving Knows No Ending
Author: Robert L. Edwards Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 33 hymnals Topics: Offering Lyrics: 1 God, whose giving knows no ending,
from your rich and endless store,
nature's wonder, Jesus' wisdom,
costly cross, grave's shattered door:
gifted by you, we turn to you,
offering up ourselves in praise;
thankful song shall rise forever,
gracious donor of our days.
2 Skills and time are ours for pressing
toward the goals of Christ, your Son:
all at peace in health and freedom,
races joined, the church made one.
Now direct our daily labor,
lest we strive for self alone.
Born with talents, make us servants
fit to answer at your throne.
3 Treasure, too, you have entrusted,
gain through powers your grace conferred:
ours to use for home and kindred,
and to spread the gospel word.
Open wide our hands in sharing,
as we heed Christ's ageless call,
healing, teaching, and reclaiming,
serving you by loving all.
Scripture: Matthew 25:14-30 Used With Tune: BEACH SPRING

I rest my weary soul in thee;
I give thee back the life I owe,
that in thine ocean depths its flow
may richer, fuller be.

I yield my flickering torch to thee;
my heart restores its borrowed ray,
that in thy sunshine's blaze its day
may brighter, fairer be.

I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
and feel the promise is not vain,
that morn shall tearless be.

I dare not ask to fly from thee;
I lay in dust life's glory dead,
and from the ground there blossoms red
life that shall endless be. Scripture: Matthew 11:28-29 Used With Tune: ST MARGARET
