From East to West, from Shore to Shore
Author: Caelius Sedulius (5th cent.?); John Ellerton (1826-1893) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #155 (1998) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 From east to west, from shore to shore,
let every heart awake and sing
the holy child whom Mary bore,
the Christ, the everlasting King.
2 Behold! The world's creator wears
the form and fashion of a slave;
our very flesh our Maker shares,
his fallen creatures all to save.
3 For this how wondrously he wrought!
A maiden, in her lowly place,
became, in ways beyond all thought,
the chosen vessel of his grace.
4 Assenting to the angel's word,
she chose what God the Spirit willed,
and suddenly the promised Lord
that pure and hallowed temple filled.
5 He shrank not from the oxen's stall,
he lay within the manger bed,
and he whose bounty feeds us all
at Mary's breast himself was fed.
6 And while the angels in the sky
sang praise above the silent field,
to shepherds poor the Lord most high,
the one great Shepherd, was revealed.
7 All glory for this blessèd morn
to God, the source of all, is due;
all praise to you, O Virgin-born,
all praise, O Holy Ghost, to you.

Thou Lord of hosts, whose guiding hand

Thou Lord of hosts, whose guiding hand
The Lord whom earth and sea and sky
Author: Venantius Fortunatus, 530-609; J. M. Neale, 1818-66 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #181b (1986) Lyrics: 1 The Lord whom earth and sea and sky
Adore and praise and magnify,
Who o'er their threefold fabric reigns,
The Virgin's spotless womb contains.
2 And he whose will is ever done
By moon and seas, by stars and sun,
Is borne upon a maiden's breast,
Whom God's foreseeing grace possessed.
3 How blest that Mother, in whose shrine
The very Word of God divine,
The maker of the earth and sky,
Was pleased in fleshly form to lie.
4 Blest in the message Gabriel brought,
Blest in the work the Spirit wrought,
Blest evermore, who brought to birth
The long-Desired of all the earth.
5 O Jesu, Virgin-born, to thee
Eternal praise and glory be,
Whom with the Father we adore
And Holy Spirit, evermore. Amen. Topics: The Blessed Virgin Mary; Office Hymn; The Christian Year Festivals and Other Holy Days: Proper; The Annunciation March 25th Tune Title: PUER NOBIS NASCITUR

Joy Dawned Again on Easter Day
O love how deep, how broad, how high!
Author: Benjamin Webb, 1819-85; Thomas à Kempis, 1379-1471 Hymnal: Together in Song #194 (1999) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O love how deep, how broad, how high!
it fills the heart with ecstasy
that God, the Son of God, should take
our mortal form for mortals’ sake.
2 He sent no angel to our race
of higher or of lower place
but wore the robe of human frame
himself, and to this lost world came.
3 For us he was baptized, and bore
his holy fast, and hungered sore;
for us temptations sharp he knew;
for us the tempter overthrew.
4 For us he prayed, for us he taught,
for us his daily works he wrought,
by words and signs and actions, thus
still seeking not himself but us.
5 For us to wicked hands betrayed,
scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed,
he bore the shameful cross and death;
for us at length gave up his breath.
6 For us he rose from death again,
for us he went on high to reign,
for us he sent his Spirit here
to guide, to strengthen and to cheer.
7 To him whose boundless love has won
salvation for us through his Son,
to God the Father, glory be
both now and through eternity.

O love, how deep, how broad, how high
Hymnal: The Book of Praise #205 (1997) Lyrics: 1 O love, how deep, how broad, how high,
how passing thought and fantasy,
that God, the Son of God, should take
our mortal form for mortals' sake.
2 For us baptized, for us he bore
his holy fast and hungered sore;
for us temptations sharp he knew,
for us the tempter overthrew.
3 For us he prayed; for us he taught;
for us his daily works he wrought:
by words and signs and actions, thus
still seeking not himself, but us.
4 For us to wicked hands betrayed,
scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed,
he bore the shameful cross and death,
for us gave up his dying breath.
5 For us he rose from death again;
for us he went on high to reign;
for us he sent his Spirit here
to guide, to strengthen and to cheer.
6 All glory to our Lord and God
for love so deep, so high, so broad,

What Star Is This?
Author: Charles Coffin; John Chandler Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #227 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: What star is this, with beams so bright Lyrics: 1 What star is this, with beams so bright,
more lovely than the noonday light?
’Tis sent to announce a newborn King,
glad tidings of our God to bring.
2 ’Tis now fulfilled what God decreed:
“From Jacob shall a star proceed”;
And lo! the eastern sages stand,
to read in heav'n the Lord’s command.
3 While outward signs the star displays,
an inward light the Lord conveys,
and urges them, with force benign,
to seek the Giver of the sign.
4 O while the star of heav'nly grace
invites us, Lord, to seek thy face,
may we no more that grace repel,
or quench that light which shines so well.
5 To God the Father, God the Son,
and Holy Spirit, Thee in one,
may ev'ry tongue and nation raise
an endless song of thankful praise.
