Brightest and Best of the Sons of the Morning
Author: Reginald Heber Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 920 hymnals Topics: Names and Office of Christ King; Names and Office of Christ Maker; Names and Office of Christ Savior 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 dewdrops 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,
Odors of Edom, and offerings 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 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.
Amen.

True wisdom can impart;
Thou only canst inform the mind,
And purify the heart.

Proclaims Thy conquering arm:
And those who put their trust in Thee,
Nor death nor hell shall harm.

Grant us that Way to know,
That Truth to keep, that Life to win,
Whose joys eternal flow.

Pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but Thou art mighty;
Hold me with Thy pow'rful hand.
Bread of heaven, bread of heaven,
Feed me till I want no more!
2 Open now the crystal fountain,
Whence the healing stream do flow;
Let the fire, cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through;
Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer,
Be Thou still my Strength and Shield!
3 When I tread the verge of Jordan,
Bid my anxious fears subside;
Bear me through the swelling current,
Land me safe on Canaan's side;
Songs of praises, songs of praises
I will ever give to Thee.
Amen.

Show Thy face in brightness, bid the nations see;
Bring again our daylight: day returns with Thee!

For us He rose, our glorious Head.

For Jesus will their spirits save.

To Thee our ransomed souls we give.

From death to endless life restored;
All praise to God the Father be
And Holy Ghost eternally.

I give Thee back the life I owe,
That in Thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.

I yield my flick'ring torch to Thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in Thy sunshine’s glow its day
May brighter, fairer be.
3 O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to Thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain
That morn shall tearless be.
4 O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to hide from Thee;
I lay in dust life’s glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be.

Pierce the gloom of sin and grief;
Fill me, Radiance divine;
Scatter all my unbelief:
More and more Thyself display,
Shining to the perfect day.

Round the altar, night and day,
Hymning one triumphant song?

Blessing, honor, glory, pow'r,
Wisdom, riches to obtain,
New dominion ev'ry hour."

These from great affliction came;
Now, before the throne of God,
Sealed with His almighty Name,
Clad in raiment pure and white,
Victor-palms in every hand,
Through their dear Redeemer's might,
More than conquerors they stand.
3 Hunger, thirst, disease unknown,
On immortal fruits they feed;
Then the Lamb amidst the throne,
Shall to living fountains lead;
Joy and gladness banish sighs;
Perfect love dispels all fears;
And forever from their eyes
God shall wipe away the tears.

Of Him who died for thee,
And hail Him as thy matchless King
Thro' all eternity.

And ye who tread where He hath trod,
Crown Him the Son of Man,

And takes and bears them for His own,
That all in Him may rest.

Who triumphed o'er the grave,
And rose victorious in the strife
For those He came to save;
His glories now we sing,
Who died, and rose on high,
Who died eternal life to bring,
And lives, that death may die.
4 Crown Him the Lord of heaven,
Enthroned in worlds above,
Crown Him the King to whom is given
The wondrous name of Love.
Crown him with many crowns
As thrones before Him fall,
Crown Him, ye kings, with many crowns
For He is King of all.
