Arise, the kingdom is at hand

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #65 (1898) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christ Morning Star Lyrics: 1 Arise, the kingdom is at hand, The King is drawing nigh: Arise with joy, thou faithful band, To meet the Lord most high, To meet the Lord most high! 2 Look up, ye souls weighed down with care, The Sovereign is not far; Look up, faint hearts, from your despair, Behold the Morning Star, Behold the Morning Star! 3 Look up, ye drooping hearts, to-day! The King is very near: O cast your griefs and fears away, For lo, your Help is here, For lo, your Help is here! 4 Hope, O ye broken hearts, at last! The King comes on in might; He loved us in the ages past, When we lay wrapt in night, When we lay wrapt in night. 5 Now fear and wrath to joy give place, Now are our sorrow o'er, Since God hath made us, in His grace, His children evermore, His children evermore. 6 O rich the gifts Thou bringest us, Thyself made poor and weak; O Love beyond compare that thus Can foes and sinners seek, Can foes and sinners seek! 7 For this we raise a gladsome voice On high to Thee alone, And evermore with thanks rejoice Before Thy glorious throne, Before Thy glorious throne.

Watchman, tell us of the night

Author: John Bowring Hymnal: The Hymnal #109 (1950) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Topics: Star in the East Lyrics: 1 Watchman, tell us of the night, What its signs of promise are: Traveler, o'er yon mountain's height, See that glory-beaming star! Watchman, doth its beauteous ray Aught of joy or hope foretell? Traveler, yes; it brings the day, Promised day of Israel. 2 Watchman, tell us of the night; Higher yet that star ascends: Traveler, blessedness and light, Peace and truth, its course portends. Watchman, will its beams alone Gild the spot that gave them birth? Traveler, ages are its own, And it bursts o'er all the earth! 3 Watchman, tell us of the night; For the morning seems to dawn: Traveler, darkness takes its flight; Doubt and terror are withdrawn. Watchman, let thy wanderings cease; Hie thee to thy quiet home. Traveler, lo, the Prince of Peace, Lo, the Son of God, is come! Amen. Tune Title: ST. GEORGE'S, WINDSOR

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning

Author: Bp. R. Heber, 1783-1826 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #128a (1917) Topics: Bethlehem Star of; Star Of Bethlehem 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 bed with the beasts of the stall; Angels adore Him, in slumber reclining, Maker, and Monarch, and Saviour of all. 3 Say, shall we yield Him, in costly devotion, Odours of Edom, and offerings 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 favour secure; Richer by far is the heart's adoration; Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.

Ashamed of Thee whom angels praise, Whose glories shine through endless days? 2 Ashamed of Jesus! sooner far Let evening blush to own a star; He sheds the beams of light divine O'er this benighted soul of mine. 3 Ashamed of Jesus! just as soon Let midnight be ashamed of noon; 'Tis midnight with my soul till He, Bright Morning Star, bid darkness flee. 4 Ashamed of Jesus! that dear Friend On whom my hopes of heaven depend! No; when I blush, be this my shame, That I no more revere His Name. 5 Soon shall He come with power to bless All who do here His Name confess; And then may this my glory be, That He is not ashamed of me! Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: BROOKFIELD

Star of hope! in danger cheer us; Help can only come from Thee. 2 When the storms of fierce temptation Wildly sweep across our way, And the night of fear and sorrow Quenches every starry ray, Let Thy presence, great Redeemer, Banish all our guilty fear; And the joy of Thy salvation Every fainting spirit cheer. 3 When the mists of doubt and passion Hide the reefs and shoals from sight, God of Love, protect and save us! Be our Refuge and our Light; Be our sure, unerring Pilot, Guide us safely to the shore, Where the waves of sin and sorrow Beat upon the soul no more. Languages: English Tune Title: BITHYNIA
