How brightly shines the Morning Star!

Author: Philipp Nicolai, 1556-1608; William Mercer, 1811-1873 Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7.4.8.4.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How brightly shines the Morning Star! The nations see and hail afar The Light in Judah shining. Thou David's son of Jacob's race, The Bridegroom, and the King of grace, For thee our hearts are pining! Lowly, holy, Great and glorious, thou victorious Prince of graces, Filling all the heavenly places! 2 Though circled by the hosts on high, He deigns to cast a pitying eye Upon his helpless creatures; The whole creation's Head and Lord, By highest seraphim adored, Assumed our very nature. Jesu, grant us, Through thy merit, to inherit Thy salvation; Hear, O hear our supplication. 3 Rejoice, ye heav’ns; thou earth, reply; With praise, ye sinners, fill the sky, For this his incarnation. Incarnate God, put forth thy power, Ride on, ride on, great Conqueror, Till all know thy salvation. Amen, Amen! Alleluya, Alleluya! Praise be given Evermore by earth and heaven.

O wondrous Conqueror and great

Author: E. C. Homburg Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7.4.4.4.4.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O wondrous Conqueror and great, Scorned by the world Thou didst create, Thy work is all completed! Thy toilsome course is at an end; Thou to the Father dost ascend, In royal glory seated. Lowly, holy, now victorious, High and glorious: Earth and heaven To Thy rule, O Christ, are given. 2 Thou, Lord, art now our head, and we Thy members are, and draw from Thee Our life and full salvation. For comfort, peace, joy, light and power, For balm to heal in sorrow's hour, We yield Thee adoration. Kneeling, feeling, Thou art nearest, Lord, and dearest: we're receiving Grace surpassing our conceiving. 3 Lord Jesus, keep our eyes on Thee; Help us Thy servants true to be, Fulfilling Thy good pleasure, Set Thou our minds on things above, Let this vain world ne'er win our love, Be Thou our only treasure. Wholly, lowly, we would own Thee, And enthrone Thee: wisdom learning, All Thy perfect ways discerning. 4 Thou, Jesus, art our shield and guide, O let Thy words in us abide, Directing all our going. Teach us to love Thy blessed will, To suffer meekly and be still, Nor fear grief's tide o'erflowing. Weeping, keeping low before Thee, We adore Thee. 'Midst our sorrow, Lord, we hail the coming morrow. 5 Lord Jesus, hasten Thy return; Our longing hearts expectant yearn To prove the joys of heaven. Thy precious blood has set us free, We owe our present all to Thee, For us Thy life was given. Singing, bringing praise abounding Now we're sounding never-ending Triumph, Lord, in Thy ascending.

My choicest Pearl, and precious Crown, God and the Virgin Mary's Son, Thou King of endless Glory! Thou art compar'd to Sharon's flow'r; Thy Gospel and its saving Pow'r Excells what's Transitory. Lovely Lilly, O Hosanna, Heav'nly Manna, Thy sweet Favour Be mine everlasting Savour. III. Thy Love, so pow'rful and divine, Dart deep into this Heart of mine, Thou brilliant Stone and Jewel! Confirm me more and more to be A Branch of Thee, the living Tree, That Self may lose its Fewel. Sighing, Dying Is thy Creature; for in Nature Is no Pleasure Without Thee, my King and Treasure. IV. From God descends a Glance of Joy. When thou, with thy most gracious Eye, Beholdst thy loving Creature: Immanuel! my sov'reign Good, Thy Word, thy Spirit, Flesh and Blood Renew my very Nature; Grant me sweetly Thine Embraces, that the Graces Of Salvation May root out all Depravation. V. Thou Father, from Eternity, In Mercy was inclin'd to me, Through CHRIST, thy well-beloved; Thy son has chose me for his Bride; In this my Spouse I can confide; My Love shall ne'er be moved. O! this Bliss is Of his giving, who's the Living Bread and Manna; Ever will I sing HOSANNA. VI. Tune all your Strings of Lute and Harp, Resolve the Notes of Flat and Sharp Into Celestial Concords, That Nothing may disturb my Frame, Which is wrapt up in JESUS' Name, The sweetest of all Comforts. Ringing, Singing, In your Praises, let the Phrases Of your Duty Please the Lord of Bliss and Beauty. VII. My Joy to all the World be known, That my Beloved keeps his Throne, On Hills of Light and Glory. He'll kindly bring me to that Place, Where all the Wonders of his Grace Shall lie disclos'd before me. Amen! Amen! Lord my Sov'reign! come and govern All the Nations; Come! I wait with great Impatience. Topics: Spiritual Marriage Used With Tune: [How bright appears the Morning-Star]
