Creator of the stars of night
Author: John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 93 hymnals Scripture: Amos 5:8 Lyrics: 1 Creator of the stars of night,
your people's everlasting light,
O Christ, redeemer of us all,
we pray you, hear us when we call.
2 When earth drew on to darkest night,
you came, but not in splendour bright,
not as a king, but as the child
of Mary, Virgin mother mild.
3 At your great name, majestic now,
all knees must bend, all hearts must bow:
all things on earth with one accord
join those in heaven to call you Lord.
4 To God the Father, God the Son,
and God the Spirit, Three in One,
praise, honour, might, and glory be
from age to age eternally. Amen. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Promise of the Messiah; Mary Used With Tune: CONDITOR ALME Text Sources: Latin hymn, 9th century

Men may come and go in peace.

May we hallow life's brief span.
