Creator of the stars of night

Amen. Scripture: Acts 17:27-28 Used With Tune: CONDITOR ALME Text Sources: Latin hymn, 9th century

Praise

Author: Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 133 hymnals Topics: The Incarnation of Christ First Line: Awake, awake the sacred song Lyrics: 1 Awake, awake the sacred song To our incarnate Lord; Let ev'ry heart, and ev'ry tongue Adore th’eternal word. 2 That awful word, that sov'reign pow'r, By whom the worlds were made; (O happy marn! illustrious hour!) Was once in flesh array'd! 3 Then shone almighty pow'r and love In all their glorious forms: When Jesus left his throne above To dwell with sinful worms. 4 To dwell with misery below, The Saviour left the skies; And sunk to wretchedness and woe, That worthless man might rise. 5 Adoring angels tun'd their songs To hail the joyful day; With rapture then, let mortal tongues Their grateful worship pay. 6 What glory, Lord, to thee is due! With wonder we adore; But could we sing as angels do, Our highest praise were poor. Scripture: Psalm 113:1-2

Celestial choirs, from courts above, Shed sacred glories there, And angels, with their sparkling lyres, Make music on the air. 2 The answering hills of Palestine Send back the glad reply, And greet from all their holy heights The Dayspring from on high: O'er the blue depths of Galilee There comes a holier calm; And Sharon waves in solemn praise Her silent groves of palm. 3 "Glory to God!" the lofty strain The realms of ether fills; How sweeps the song of solemn joy O'er Judah's sacred hills! "Glory to God!" the sounding skies Loud with their anthems ring: "Peace on the earth; good-will to men, From heaven's eternal King."
