Bethl'hem, thou dost all excel:
out of thee the Lord from heaven
came to rule his Israel.
2 Fairer than the sun at morning
was the star that told his birth,
to the world its God announcing
seen in fleshly form on earth.
3 Eastern sages at his cradle
make oblations rich and rare;
see them give in deep devotion,
gold and frankincense and myrrh.
4 Sacred gifts of mystic meaning:
incense doth their God disclose,
gold the King of kings proclaimeth,
myrrh his sepulcher foreshows.
5 Jesu, whom the Gentiles worshipped
at thy glad Epiphany,
unto thee with God the Father
and the Spirit glory be. Scripture: John 19:38-42 Languages: English Tune Title: STUTTGART

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 Oh, time of God appointed,
Oh, 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 Awaken, Lord, our spirit
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!" Languages: English Tune Title: HERR CHRIST DER EINIG GOTTS SOHN

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 succour 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,
and love, joy, 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 Arabia's desert-ranger
to him shall bow the knee;
the Ethiopian stranger
his glory come to see;
with offerings of devotion
ships from the isles shall meet,
to pour the wealth of ocean
in tribute at his feet.
5 Kings shall bow 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.
6 O'er every 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 for ever,
his changeless name of love. Scripture: 1 John 4:8 Languages: English Tune Title: CRÜGER

Beyond all thought and fantasy,
That God, the Son of God, should take
Our mortal form for mortal's sake!
2 He sent no angel to our race,
Of higher or of lower place,
But wore the robe of human frame,
And to this world himself he came.
3 For us baptized, for us he bore
His holy fast and hungered sore;
For us temptation sharp He knew;
For us the tempter overthrew.
4 For us he prayed; for us he taught;
For us his daily works he wrought,
By words and signs and actions thus
Still seeking not himself, but us.
5 For us by wickedness betrayed,
For us, in crown of thorns arrayed,
He bore the shameful cross and death;
For us he gave his dying breath.
6 For us he rose from death again;
For us He went on high to reign;
For us he sent his Spirit here
To guide, to strengthen, and to cheer.
7 All glory to our Lord and God
For love so deep, so high, so broad;
The Trinity whom we adore
Forever and forevermore. Languages: English Tune Title: DEO GRACIAS

The Star Proclaims the King Is Here
Author: Coelius Sedulius; John M. Neale Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #91 (1993) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Epiphany; Epiphany Lyrics: 1 The star proclaims the King is here;
But, Herod, why this senseless fear?
For he who came from heaven's throne
Does not desire an earthly crown.
2 The wiser Magi saw from far
And followed on his guiding star,
And, led by light, to Light they pressed
And by their gifts their God confessed.
3 Within the Jordan River stood
The pure and holy Lamb of God;
The Father's voice, the Spirit-dove,
Confirmed the Savior from above.
4 At Cana -- miracle divine --
When water reddened into wine,
The faithful saw his glory shown
And put their trust in him alone.
5 All glory unto Jesus be
And praise for his epiphany,
Whom with the Father we adore
And Holy Spirit evermore. Languages: English Tune Title: O HEILAND, REISS DIE HIMMEL AUF

Arise, shine out, your light has come
Author: Brian Wren (b. 1936) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #93 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Church Year Epiphany; Epiphany; The Third Sunday of Epiphany Year A Lyrics: 1 Arise, shine out, your light has come,
unfolding City of our dreams.
On distant hills a glory gleams:
the new creation has begun.
2 Above earth's valleys, thick with night,
high on your walls the dawn appears,
and history shall dry its tears,
as nations stream towards your light.
3 From walls surpassing time and space,
unnumbered gates, like open hands,
shall gather gifts from all the lands,
and welcome all the human race.
4 The sounds of violence shall cease
as dwellings of salvation rise
to sparkle in eternal skies
from avenues of praise and peace.
5 The dancing air shall glow with light
and sun and moon give up their place
when Love shines out of every face:
our Good, our Glory, our Delight. Scripture: Isaiah 60 Languages: English Tune Title: CHURCH TRIUMPHANT
Arise, shine out, your light has come
As with gladness men of old
Author: William Chatterton Dix (1837-1898) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #94 (2013) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Topics: Church Year Epiphany; Epiphany; Epiphany Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old
did the guiding star behold,
as with joy they hailed its light,
leading onward, beaming bright;
so, most gracious Lord, may we
evermore be led to thee.
2 As with joyful steps they sped,
Saviour, to thy lowly bed,
there to bend the knee before
thee whom heaven and earth adore;
so may we with willing feet
ever seek thy mercy-seat.
3 As they offered gifts most rare
at thy cradle rude and bare,
so may we with holy joy,
pure and free from sin's alloy,
all our costliest treasures bring,
Christ, to thee our heavenly King.
4 Holy Jesus, every day
keep us in the narrow way,
and, when earthly things are past,
bring our ransomed souls at last
where they need no star to guide,
where no clouds thy glory hide.
5 In the heavenly country bright
need they no created light;
thou its light, its joy, its crown,
thou its sun which goes not down;
there for ever may we sing
alleluias to our King. Scripture: Isaiah 60:19-20 Languages: English Tune Title: DIX
As with gladness men of old
Bethlehem, what greater city
Author: Michael Perry (1942-1996); Aurelius Clemens Prudentius (348-c. 413) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #95 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Topics: Church Year Epiphany; Epiphany; Epiphany Scripture: Micah 5:2 Languages: English Tune Title: STUTTGART
Bethlehem, what greater city
Brightest and best of the sons of the morning
Author: Reginald Heber (1783-1826) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #96b (2013) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Topics: Church Year Epiphany; Epiphany; Epiphany 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.
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 Say, shall we yield him, in costly devotion,
odours of Edom, and offerings divine,
gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean,
myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine?
4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation,
vainly with gifts would his favour secure:
richer by far is the heart's adoration,
dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.
5 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. Scripture: Psalm 34:18 Languages: English Tune Title: WESSEX
Brightest and best of the sons of the morning
