The Star In The East

Author: Thomas Campbell Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7908 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 First Line: A star appeared, and peaceful threw Lyrics: 1 A star appeared, and peaceful threw Around its holy ray; It caught the faithful Magi’s view, And led the wondrous way, From far famed Persia’s smiling bowers, Fair land of beauty, fruits and flowers. 2 Each heart throughout the gazing throng What anxious gladness fills, While slowly moved that star along O’er Judah’s sacred hills, And softly fixed its mellow light On distant Bethlehem’s joyful night! 3 There, unknown to the rich and great, Or perfumed halls of state, Where shining golden lamps so bright Scoff at the silent night, Hear music’s notes, so holy, sweet, They rise and fall ’mid joy complete. 4 The Prince of Peace, so young, so fair, In lowly state He slept; While near, with kind parental care, The mother’s watch was kept. Let sweetest harp of Judah rise, And Gentile hymns climb to the skies! Languages: English Tune Title: MEIRINGEN

Though Rude Winds Usher Thee, Sweet Day

Author: Samuel Rickards Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12495 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Though rude winds usher thee, sweet day, Though clouds thy face deform, Though nature’s grace be swept away Before thy sleety storm; E’en in thy sombrest wintry vest, Of blessèd days thou art most blest. 2 Not frigid air nor gloomy morn Shall check our jubilee; Bright is the day when Christ was born; No sun need shine, but He: Let roughest storms their coldest blow, With love of Him our hearts shall glow. 3 Inspired with high and holy thought, Fancy is on the wing; It seems as to mine ear it brought Those voices caroling, Voices through Heav’n and earth that ran, Glory to God, goodwill to man. 4 I see the shepherds gazing wild At those fair spirits of light; I see them bending o’er the Child With that untold delight Which marks the face who view Things but too happy to be true. 5 There in the lowly manger laid Incarnate God they see; He stoops to take through spotless maid Our frail humanity; Son of high God, creation’s heir, He leaves His Heaven to raise us here. 6 Through Him, O Lord, we’re born anew, Thy children once again, Oh, day by day, our hearts renew, That Thine we may remain, And, angel-like, may all agree, One sweet and holy family. 7 Oft as this joyous morn doth come To speak our Savior’s love, Oh, may it bear our spirits home Where He now reigns above; That day which brought Him from the skies So man restores to paradise. 8 Then let winds usher thee, sweet day, Let clouds thy face deform, Though nature’s grace is swept away Before thy sleety storm; E’en i thy sombrest wintry vest, Of blessèd days thou art most blest.

The Darkness

Author: Matthew Bridges Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13841 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 First Line: O’er hill and vale and temple proud Lyrics: 1 O’er hill and vale and temple proud When Jesus died for man, There hung in air a sable shroud To mark the bitter ban— The ban of death on sinners laid, The dreadful debt Emmanuel paid! 2 Well might the sun of nature hide Its matchless lamp of light, And veil, while its Creator died, All radiancy in night: How could the smallest star illume The depth of such infernal gloom! 3 Oh! direful darkness—unalloyed, Of horror most profound— Emblem of what the cross destroyed And leveled with the ground; When, bursting through the reams of hell, It beamed with light ineffable! 4 Lord! by that darkness, from this soul All darkness roll away— Nor let a shade of sin control My progress t’wards the day: That day, with an unclouded sky, Of Heav’n—in full eternity!

It Will Not Come

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #14563 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 First Line: "It will not come, it will not come" Lyrics: 1 "It will not come, it will not come"; They reck not of the flood. And wherefore with such weary toil Build up that pile of wood? How should thine ark e’er reach the sea? How on this midland floated be? 2 The sea’s great gulfs are broken up; Heav’n’s windows opened are; For forty days the rain prevails; The mountains disappear. The faithless die; the ark, their scorn, Safe on the flood, their grave, is borne. 3 Lord, give us willing hearts to hear Not this world’s voice, but Thine, To fear Thy warnings, and to love Thy means of grace divine; Go in Thine ark, and there abide, Unscarred by wind and foaming tide. 4 So when another flood shall come— Not water, but of fire— When in the billowy surge of flame, All nature shall expire, We in Thy heav’nly ark may be, Anchored on Ararat with Thee.
