Brightest and best of the sons of the morning
Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: LHTC1918 #39b (1917) 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 dewdrops are shining,
Low lies His head 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,
Odors of Edom and offerings divine;
Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean,
Myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine?
4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation,
Vainly with gifts would His favor secure;
Richer by far is the heart's adoration,
Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.
5 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.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Epiphany Languages: English Tune Title: MORNING STAR
Brightest and best of the sons of the morning
O Thou, Who by a star didst guide
Author: John Mason Neale Hymnal: LHTC1918 #40 (1917) Lyrics: 1 O Thou, Who by a star didst guide
The wise men on their way,
Until it came and stood beside
The place where Jesus lay.
Although by stars Thou dost not lead
Thy servants now below,
Thy Holy Spirit, when they need,
Will show them how to go.
2 As yet we know Thee but in part,
But still we trust Thy word
That blessèd are the pure in heart,
For they shall see the Lord.
O Saviour, give us then Thy grace
To make us pure in heart,
That we may see Thee, face to face
Hereafter as Thou art.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Epiphany Languages: English Tune Title: ST. LEONARD
O Thou, Who by a star didst guide
Hail, Thou Source of every blessing
Author: Basil Woodd Hymnal: LHTC1918 #41 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Hail, Thou Source of every blessing,
Sovereign Father of mankind!
Gentiles now, Thy grace possessing,
In Thy courts admission find.
Grateful now we fall before Thee,
In Thy Church obtain a place,
Now by faith behold Thy glory,
Praise Thy truth, adore Thy grace.
2 Once far off, but now invited,
We approach Thy sacred throne;
In Thy covenant united,
Reconciled, redeemed, made one.
Now revealed to eastern sages,
See the star of mercy shine:
Mystery hid in former ages,
Mystery great of love divine.
3 Hail, Thou universal Saviour!
Gentiles now their offerings bring;
In Thy temple seek Thy favor,
Jesus Christ, our Lord and King;
May we, body, soul and spirit,
Live devoted to Thy praise,
Glorious realms of bliss inherit,
Grateful anthems ever raise.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Epiphany Languages: English Tune Title: DEERHURST
Hail, Thou Source of every blessing
Hail to the Lord's Anointed
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: LHTC1918 #42a (1917) Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Lord's Anointed,
Great David's greater Son!
Hail, in the time appointed,
His reign on earth begun!
He comes to break oppression,
To set the captive free;
To take away transgression,
And rule in equity.
2 He comes with succor speedy
To those who suffer wrong;
To help the poor and needy,
And bid the weak be strong;
To give them songs for sighing;
Their darkness turn to light,
Whose souls, condemned and dying,
Were precious in His sight.
3 He shall come down like showers
Upon the fruitful earth;
And love, joy, and hope, like flowers,
Spring in His path to birth.
Before Him on the mountains
Shall peace, the herald, go;
And righteousness the fountains
From hill to valley flow.
4 Kings shall fall down before ,
And gold and incense bring;
All nations shall adore Him,
His praise all people sing.
To Him shall prayer unceasing,
And daily vows ascend;
His kingdom still increasing,
A kingdom without end.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Epiphany Languages: English Tune Title: AURELIA

Hail to the Lord's Anointed
O One with God the Father
Author: William Washam How Hymnal: LHTC1918 #43 (1917) Lyrics: 1 O One with God the Father
In majesty and might,
The Brightness of His glory,
Eternal Light of Light,
O'er this our home of darkness
Thy rays are streaming now;
The shadows flee before Thee,
The world's true Light art Thou.
2 Yet, Lord, we see but darkly:
O heavenly Light, arise,
Dispel these mists that shroud us,
And hide Thee from our eyes.
We long to track the footprints
That Thou Thyself hast trod:
We long to see the pathway
That leads to Thee, our God.
3 O Jesus, shine around us
With radiance of Thy grace;
O Jesus, turn upon us
The brightness of Thy face.
We need no star to guide us,
As on our way we press,
If Thou Thy light vouchsafest,
O Sun of Righteousness.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Epiphany Languages: English Tune Title: ROTTERDAM
O One with God the Father
Join all the glorious names
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: LHTC1918 #44 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Join all the glorious names
Of wisdom, love, and power,
That ever mortals knew,
That angels ever bore:
All are too mean to speak His worth,
To poor to set my Saviour forth.
2 Great Prophet of my God,
My tongue would bless Thy name,
By Thee the joyful news
Of our salvation came,
The joyful news of sin forgiven,
Of hell subdued, and peace with Heaven.
3 Jesus, my great High Priest,
Offered His blood and died;
My guilty conscience seeks
No sacrifice beside:
His powerful blood did once atone,
And now it pleads before the throne.
4 O Thou Almighty Lord,
My Conqueror and my King,
Thy scepter and Thy sword,
Thy reigning grace I sing:
Thine is the power; behold I sit
In willing bonds before Thy feet.
Amen.

O Saviour of our race
Author: Laurentius Laurenti; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: LHTC1918 #45 (1917) Lyrics: 1 O Saviour of our race,
Welcome, indeed, Thou art,
Blessèd Redeemer, Fount of grace,
To this my longing heart!
2 Light of the world, abide
Through faith within my heart;
Leave me to seek no other guide,
Nor e’er from Thee depart.
3 Thou art the Life, O Lord,
Sole Light of life Thou art!
Let not Thy glorious rays be poured
In vain on my dark heart.
4 Star of the East, arise!
Drive all my clouds away;
Guide me, till earth’s dim twilight dies
Into the perfect day.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Epiphany Languages: English Tune Title: VENICE
O Saviour of our race
Light of the anxious heart
Author: Bernard of Clairvaux, d. 1153; Robert Campbell Hymnal: LHTC1918 #46 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Light of the anxious heart,
Jesus, Thy suppliants cheer;
Bid Thou the gloom of guilt depart,
And shed Thy sweetness here.
2 O happy he whose breast
Thou makest Thine abode;
Sweet Light that with the pure wilt rest,
For they shall see their God.
3 Brightness of God above,
Unfathomable grace,
Within our hearts implant thy love,
And fix Thy dwelling-place.
4 To lowly minds revealed,
Our Saviour we adore;
Like tribute to the Father yield
And Spirit, evermore.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Epiphany Languages: English Tune Title: GORTON
Light of the anxious heart
O Christ, our true and only Light
Author: Catherine Winkworth; Johann Heermann Hymnal: LHTC1918 #47 (1917) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our true and only Light,
Illumine those who sit in night;
Let those afar now hear Thy voice,
And in Thy fold with us rejoice.
2 Fill with the radiance of Thy grace
The souls now lost in error's maze,
And all, O Lord, whose secret minds
Some dark delusion hurts and blinds.
3 And all who else have strayed from Thee,
O gently seek; Thy healing be
To every wounded conscience given,
And let them also share thy heaven.
4 O make the deaf to hear Thy Word,
And teach the dumb to speak, dear Lord,
Who dare not yet the faith avow,
Though secretly they hold it now.
5 Shine on the darkened and the cold;
Recall the wanderers to Thy fold,
Unite all those who walk apart,
Confirm the weak and doubting heart.
6 So they with us may evermore
Such grace with wondering thanks adore
And endless praise to Thee be given
By all Thy Church in earth and heaven.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Epiphany Languages: English Tune Title: ST. OSWALD
O Christ, our true and only Light
