Author: Arthur T. Russell, 1806-1874; Elizabeth Cruciger, 1500-1535 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #86 (1978) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.6 Lyrics: 1 The only Son from heaven,
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!" Topics: Epiphany; Advent 3; Christmas 1; Epiphany 2; The Annunciation of Our Lord; Epiphany; The Visitaion Languages: English Tune Title: HERR CHRIST DER EINIG GOTTS SOHN
