What Star Is This, with Beams So Bright
Author: John Chandler; Charles Coffin Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 95 hymnals Topics: Other Observances Christian Education Lyrics: 1 What star is this, with beams so bright,
More lovely than the noonday light?
’Tis sent to announce a newborn King,
Glad tidings of our God to bring.
2 ’Tis now fulfilled what God decreed,
“From Jacob shall a star proceed";
And lo! the Eastern sages stand,
To read in heaven the Lord’s command.
3 O Jesus, while the star of grace
Impels us on to seek your face,
Let not our slothful hearts refuse
The guidance of your light to use.
4 To God the Father, heavenly Light,
To Christ, revealed in earthly night,
To God the Holy Ghost we raise
An endless song of thankful praise!

Dear Lord and Father of Mankind
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 522 hymnals Topics: Other Observances Christian Education Lyrics: 1 Dear Lord and Father of mankind,
Forgive our foolish ways;
Reclothe us in our rightful mind,
In purer lives thy service find,
In deeper reverence, praise.
2 In simple trust like theirs who heard,
Beside the Syrian sea,
The gracious calling of the Lord,
Let us, like them, without a word
Rise up and follow thee.
3 O Sabbath rest by Galilee!
O calm of hills above,
Where Jesus knelt to share with thee
The silence of eternity,
Interpreted by love!
4 Drop thy still dews of quietness,
Till all our strivings cease;
Take from our souls the strain and stress,
And let our ordered lives confess
The beauty of thy peace.
5 Breathe through the heats of our desire
Thy coolness and thy balm;
Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
Speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,
O still, small voice of calm!
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 4:18-22 Used With Tune: REST

On him alone we build;
With his true saints alone
The courts of heav'n are filled.
On his great love
Our hopes we place
Of present grace
And joys above.
2 Oh, then, with hymns of praise
These hallowed courts shall ring;
Our voices we will raise
The Three in One to sing
And thus proclaim
In joyful song,
Both loud and long,
That glorious name.
3 Here, gracious God, do now
And evermore draw near;
Accept each faithful vow,
And ev'ry suppliant hear.
In copious show'r
On all who pray
Each holy day
Your blessing pour.
4 Here may we gain from heav'n
The grace which we implore,
And may that grace, once giv'n,
Be with us evermore
Until that day
When all the blest
To endless rest
Are called away.

Christ Is Our Cornerstone
Once in Royal David's City
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 417 hymnals Topics: Other Observances Christian Education Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city
Stood a lowly cattle shed,
Where a mother laid her baby
In a manger for his bed:
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ, her little child.
2 He came down to earth from heaven
Who is God and Lord of all,
And his shelter was a stable,
And his cradle was a stall:
With the poor, and mean, and lowly,
Lived on earth our Savior holy.
3 Jesus is our childhood's pattern,
Day by day like us he grew;
He was little, weak, and helpless,
Tears and smiles like us he knew:
And He comforts us in sadness,
And He shares in all our gladness.
4 And our eyes at last shall see him,
Through his own redeeming love;
For that child so dear and gentle
Is our Lord in heaven above,
And he leads his children on
To the place where he is gone.
Amen. Scripture: John 7:40-44 Used With Tune: IRBY
