O speak to reassure me, To hasten or control; O speak, and make me listen, Thou Guardian of my soul! 4 O Jesus, Thou hast promised To all who follow Thee That where Thou art in glory There shall Thy servant be; And, Jesus, I have promised To serve Thee to the end; O give me grace to follow, My Master and my Friend! 5 O let me see Thy footmarks And in them plant mine own; My hope to follow duly Is in Thy strength alone. O guide me, call me, draw me, Uphold me to the end; And then in heav'n receive me, My Savior and my Friend! Amen. Used With Tune: MEININGEN

Author: Reginald Heber Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 920 hymnals Topics: Processionals and Recessionals Epiphany Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid; Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. 2 Cold on His cradle the dew-drops are shining; Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall: Angels adore Him in slumber reclining, Maker and Monarch and Savior of all! 3 Shall we not yield Him, in costly devotion, Odors of Edom and off'rings divine? Gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest and gold from the mine? 4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation; Vainly with gifts would His favor secure: Richer by far is the heart's adoration; Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. 5 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid; Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. Amen. Used With Tune: MORNING STAR

The Lord shall be thy part: His only, His forever, Thou shalt be and thou art! Jesus, in mercy bring us Soon to that land of rest: Who art, with God the Father And Spirit, ever blest! 5 Jerusalem the golden, Shall I e'er see thy face? O sweet and pleasant city, Shall I e'er win thy grace? I have the hope within me To comfort and to bless; Shall I e'er win the glory? O my Redeemer, yes! Amen. Used With Tune: EWING
