How Lovely Shines the Morning Star!

Author: Philipp Nicolai Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7.4.4.4.4.8 Appears in 13 hymnals Topics: Christ advent of Lyrics: 1 How lovely shines the Morning Star! The nations see and hail afar the light in Judah shining. Thou David's Son of Jacob's race, my bridegroom and my King of grace, for thee my heart is pining. Lowly, holy, great and glorious, thou victorious Prince of graces, filling all the heav'nly places. 2 Though circled by the hosts on high, he deigned to cast a pitying eye upon his helpless creature; the whole creation's head and Lord, by highest seraphim adored, assumed our very nature. Jesus, grant us, through thy merit to inherit thy salvation; hear, O hear our supplication. 3 Now richly to my waiting heart, O thou, my God, deign to impart the grace of love undying. In thy blest body let me be, e'en as the branch is in the tree, thy life my life supplying. Sighing, crying, for the savor of thy favor; resting never till I rest in thee forever. 4 Thou, mighty Father, in thy Son didst love me ere thou hadst begun this ancient world's foundation. Thy Son hath made a friend of me, and when in spirit him I see, I joy in tribulation. What bliss is this! He that liveth to me giveth life forever; nothing me from him can sever. 5 Rejoice, ye heav'ns; thou earth reply; with praise, ye sinners, fill the sky, for this his incarnation. Incarnate God, put forth thy pow'r, ride on, ride on, great conqueror till all know thy salvation. Amen, Amen! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Praise be given evermore by earth and heaven.

Angels' music

Author: Edwin H. Sears Appears in 352 hymnals Topics: Advent of Christ At Birth First Line: Calm on the listening ear of night Lyrics: 1 Calm on the listening ear of night, Come heaven's melodious strains, Where wild Judea stretches far Her silver-mantled plains. 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." Scripture: Luke 1:78 Used With Tune: NOEL

Prepare to meet God

Author: William B. Collyer Appears in 299 hymnals Topics: Advent of Christ To Judgment First Line: Great God, what do I see and hear! Lyrics: 1 Great God, what do I see and hear! The end of things created! The Judge of man I see appear, On clouds of glory seated: The trumpet sounds; the graves restore The dead which they contained before; Prepare, my soul, to meet him. 2 The dead in Christ shall first arise, At the last trumpet's sounding-- Caught up to meet him in the skies, With joy their Lord surrounding; No gloomy fears their souls dismay, His presence sheds eternal day On those prepared to meet him. 3 But sinners, filled with guilty fears, Behold his wrath prevailing; For they shall rise, and find their tears And sighs are unavailing: The day of grace is past and gone; Trembling they stand before the throne, All unprepared to meet him. 4 Great God! what do I see and hear! The end of things created! The Judge of man I see appear, On clouds of glory seated: Beneath his cross I view the day When heaven and earth shall pass away, And thus prepared to meet him. Scripture: Deuteronomy 30:19 Used With Tune: JUDGMENT
