Brightest and Best of the Sons of the Morning
Author: Reginald Heber, 1782-1825 Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 914 hymnals 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, or 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. Topics: Epiphany Used With Tune: MORNING STAR

God in His Love for Us
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 20 hymnals First Line: God in his love for us lent us this planet Lyrics: 1 God in his love for us lent us this planet,
gave it a purpose in time and in space:
small as a spark form the fire of creation,
cradle of life and the home of our race.
2 Thanks be to God for its bounty and beauty,
life that sustains us in body and mind:
plenty for all, if we learn how to share it,
riches undreamed of to fathom and find.
3 Long have our human wars ruined its harvest;
long has earth bowed to the terror of force;
long have we wasted what others have need of,
poisoned the fountain of life at its source.
4 Earth is the Lord's: it is ours to enjoy it,
ours, as his stewards, to farm and defend.
From its pollution, misuse, and destruction,
good Lord, deliver us, world with-out end! Scripture: Psalm 115:19 Used With Tune: MORNING STAR

Into the Dim Earth's Lowest Parts Descending
Author: John of Damascus; John M. Neale Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Into the dim earth’s lowest parts descending,
And bursting by Thy might the infernal chain
That bound the prisoners, Thou, at three days’ ending,
As Jonah from the whale, hast risen again.
2. Thou brakest not the seal, Thy surety’s token,
Arising from the tomb who left’st in birth
The portals of virginity unbroken,
Opening the gates of Heaven to sons of earth.
3. Thou, sacrifice ineffable and living,
Didst to the Father by Thyself atone
As God eternal: resurrection giving
To Adam, general parent, by Thine own. Used With Tune: MORNING STAR Text Sources: Hymns of the Eastern Church (London: J. Harding, 1862)

Astro más bello
Author: Reginald Heber; T. M. Westrup Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Astro más bello del gran firmamento Lyrics: 1 Astro más bello del gran firmamento;
suave, argentina, derramas tu luz.
Haznos visible el lejano horizonte
para llegar hasta el niño Jesús.
2 Vedlo dormido, por cuna un pesebre;
quiso entre pobres, humilde nacer.
Angeles ven en aquel tierno niño
al que dispone de todo poder.
3 No le traeremos obsequio costoso,
ni las aromas de allende la mar:
mirra, ni incienso, nioro precioso
con que el amor le podamos mostrar.
4 Vanos serán todos esos presentes;
dones no pueden su gracia alcanzar.
Muévenle, cuantos elevan fervientes
preces sinceras que puede aceptar.
