Blest Be Our Everlasting Lord

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 60 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Blest be our everlasting Lord, Our Father, God, and King! Thy sovereign goodness we record, Thy glorious power we sing. 2. By Thee the victory is giv’n; The majesty divine, And strength, and might, and earth, and Heav’n, And all therein, are Thine. 3. The kingdom, Lord, is Thine alone, Who dost Thy right maintain, And high on Thine eternal throne, O’er men and angels reign. 4. Riches, as seemeth good to Thee, Thou dost, and honor, give; And kings their power and dignity Out of Thy hand receive. 5. Thou hast on us the grace bestowed Thy greatness to proclaim; And therefore now thank we our God, And praise Thy glorious name. 6. Thy glorious name and nature’s powers Thou dost to us make known; And all the deity is ours, Through Thy incarnate Son. Used With Tune: ST. BERNARD (Richardson) Text Sources: Short Hymns, 1762

O God, Who by a Star Did Guide

Author: John Mason Neale Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 68 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God, who by a star did guide The Wise Men on their way, Until it came and stood beside The place where Jesus lay. 2 Although by stars you do not lead Your servants now below, Your Holy Spirit, when they need, Will show them how to go. 3 As yet we know you but in part, But still we trust your word That blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see the Lord. 4 O Savior, give us then your grace For pure in heart we'd be, That we may see you, face to face, Through all eternity. Amen. Topics: Christian Year Epiphany Scripture: Matthew 2:9-10 Used With Tune: ST. BERNARD
