Brightest and best of the sons of the morning

Author: Reginald Heber (1783-1826) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 912 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 22:16 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.

Each word and deed now public made, Written by heaven's unerring pen. 4 To ev'ry soul the books assign The joyous or the dread reward; Sinners in vain lament and pine: No pleas the Judge will here regard. 5 Lord, when these awful leaves unfold, May life's fair book my soul approve; There may I read my name enroll'd, And triumph in redeeming love.
