Hail to the Lord's Anointed

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: LSB2006 #398 (2006) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 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 rescue 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; Love, joy, and hope, like flowers, Spring in His path to birth. Before Him on the mountains Shall peace, the herald, go; And righteousness in fountains From hill to valley flow. 4 Kings shall fall down before Him 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. 5 O'er ev'ry foe victorious, He on His throne shall rest, From age to age more glorious, All blessing and all-blest. The tide of time shall never His covenant remove; His name shall stand forever– That name to us is Love.

The Star Proclaims the King Is Here

Author: Coelius Sedulius, 5th cent.; John Mason Neale, 1818-66 Hymnal: LSB2006 #399 (2006) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The star proclaims the King is here; But, Herod, why this senseless fear? For He who offers heav'nly birth Seeks not the kingdoms of this earth. 2 The eastern sages saw from far And followed on His guiding star; And, led by light, to light they trod And by their gifts confessed their God. 3 Within the Jordan's sacred flood The heav'nly Lamb in meekness stood That He, of whom no sin was known, Might cleanse His people from their own. 4 And oh, what miracle divine, When water reddened into wine! He spoke the word, and forth it flowed In streams that nature ne'er bestowed. 5 For this Thy glad epiphany All glory, Jesus, be to Thee, Whom with the Father we adore, And Holy Spirit evermore.

Brightest and Best of the Stars of the Morning

Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826 Hymnal: LSB2006 #400 (2006) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the stars 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 head with the beasts of the stall; Angels adore Him in slumber reclining, Maker and Monarch and Saviour of all. 3 Shall we not yield Him, in costly devotion, Fragrance of Edom and off'rings 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 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 stars 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. Scripture: Matthew 2:1-11 Languages: English Tune Title: MORNING STAR

From God the Father, Virgin-Born

Author: John Mason Neale, 1818-66 Hymnal: LSB2006 #401 (2006) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 From God the Father, virgin-born To us the only Son came down; By death the font to consecrate, The faithful to regenerate. 2 Beginning from His home on high, In human flesh He came to die; Creation by His death restored, And shed new joys of life abroad. 3 Glide on, O glorious Sun, and bring The gift of healing on Your wing; To eve'ry dull and clouded sense The clearness of Your light dispense. 4 Abide with us, O Lord, we pray; The gloom of darkness chase away; Your work of healing, Lord, begin, And take away the stain of sin. 5 Lord, once You came to earth’s domain And, we believe, shall come again; Be with us on the battlefield, From ev'ry harm Your people shield. 6 To You, O Lord, all glory be For this Your blest epiphany; To God, whom all His hosts adore, And Holy Spirit evermore. Scripture: John 1:14 Languages: English Tune Title: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM

The Only Son from Heaven

Author: Elisabeth Cruciger, c. 1500-35; Arthur T. Russell, 1806-74 Hymnal: LSB2006 #402 (2006) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.6 Lyrics: 1 The only Son from heaven, Foretold by ancient seers, By God the Father given, In human form appears. No sphere His light confining, No star so brightly shining As He, our Morning Star. 2 O time of God appointed, O bright and holy morn! He comes, the King anointed, The Christ, the virgin-born, Grim death to vanquish for us, To open heav'n before us And bring us life again. 3 O Lord, our hearts awaken To know and love You more, In faith to stand unshaken, In spirit to adore, That we, through this world moving, Each glimpse of heaven proving, May reap its fullness there. 4 O Father, here before You With God the Holy Ghost And Jesus, we adore You, O pride of angel host: Before You mortals lowly Cry, "Holy, holy, holy, O blessed Trinity!"
