Be Thou My Vision
From the eastern mountains
Author: Godfrey Thring, 1823-1903 Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 166 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 21:4 Lyrics: 1 From the eastern mountains
pressing on they come,
wise men in their wisdom,
to his humble home;
stirred by deep devotion,
hasting from afar,
ever journeying onward,
guided by a star.
2 There their Lord and Saviour
meek and lowly lay,
wondrous light that led them
onward on their way,
ever now to lighten
nations from afar,
as they journey homeward
by that guiding star.
3 Thou who in a manger
once hast lowly lain,
who dost now in glory
o'er all kingdoms reign,
gather in the peoples,
who in lands afar
ne'er have seen the brightness
of thy guiding star.
*4 Gather in the outcasts,
all who've gone astray;
throw thy radiance o'er them,
guide them on their way:
those who never knew thee,
those who've wandered far,
guide them by the brightness
of thy guiding star.
*5 Onward through the darkness
of the lonely night,
shining still before them
with thy kindly light,
guide them, Jew and Gentile,
homeward from afar,
young and old together,
by thy guiding star.
6 Until every nation,
whether bond or free,
'neath thy star-lit banner,
Jesu, follow thee
o'er the distant mountains
to that heavenly home,
where nor sin nor sorrow
evermore shall come. Topics: Epiphany; Epiphany Used With Tune: EVELYNS

'Thy kingdom come!'– on bended knee
Author: Frederick Lucian Hosmer (1840-1929) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 103 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 21:4 Lyrics: 1 'Thy kingdom come!'--on bended knee
the passing ages pray;
and faithful souls have yearned to see
on earth that kingdom's day.
2 But the slow watches of the night
not less to God belong;
and for the everlasting right
the silent stars are strong.
3 And lo, already on the hills
the flags of dawn appear;
gird up your loins, ye prophet souls,
proclaim the day is near:
4 The day in whose clear-shining light
all wrong shall stand revealed,
when justice shall be throned with might,
and every heart be healed:
5 When knowledge, hand in hand with peace,
shall walk the earth abroad,
the day of perfect righteousness,
the promised day of God. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Risen - Coming Again; Christian Year Advent; Justice and Peace; Kingdom of God Used With Tune: IRISH

Ring Out the Old, Ring In the New
Author: Alfred Tennyson Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 54 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 21:1 Lyrics: 1 Ring out the old, ring in the new;
Ring, happy bells, across the snow;
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
2 Ring out a slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife;
Ring in the nobler modes of life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws.
3 Ring out old shapes of foul disease;
Ring out the narrowing lust of gold;
Ring out the thousand wars of old;
Ring in the thousand years of peace.
4 Ring in the valiant man and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand;
Ring out the darkness of the land;
Ring in the Christ that is to be.
Amen. Topics: New Year, The Used With Tune: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM
