Will You Come and See the Light

Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Voices United #96 (1996) Meter: 12.12.14.10 Topics: Star(s) First Line: Will you come and see the light from the stable door? Lyrics: 1 Will you come and see the light from the stable door? It is shining newly bright, though it shone before. It will be your guiding star, it will show you who you are. Will you hide, or decide to meet the light? 2 Will you step into the light that can free the slave? It will stand for what is right, it will heal and save. By the pyramids of greed there's a longing to be freed. Will you hide, or decide to meet the light? 3 Will you tell about the light in the prison cell? Though it's shackled out of sight, it is shining well. When the truth is cut and bruised, and the innocent abused, will you hide, or decide to meet the light? 4 Will you join the hope, alight in a young girl's eyes, of the mighty put to flight by a baby's cries? When the lowest and the least are the foremost at the feast, will you hide, or decide to meet the light? 5 Will you travel by the light of the babe new born? In the candle lit at night there's a gleam of dawn, and the darkness all about is too dim to put it out: will you hide, or decide to meet the light? Tune Title: KELVINGROVE

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #266 (1898) Meter: 11.10 Topics: Christ Morning Star 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. 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. 2 Shall we not 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? 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.
