and Gentiles to his crib to bring.

who told the rise of Jacob's star;
and eastern sages with amaze
upon the wondrous token gaze.

within them shines a clearer light,
and leads them on with power benign
to seek the Giver of the sign.

impels us on to seek thy face,
let not our slothful hearts refuse
the guidance of thy light to use.

That, with the world, myself, and Thee,
I, ere I sleep, at peace may be.
3 Teach me to live, that I may dread
The grave as little as my bed;
Teach me to die, that so I may
Rise glorious at the awful day.
4 O may my soul on Thee repose!
And may sweet sleep mine eyelids close;
Sleep that shall me more vigorous make,
To serve my God when I awake.
5 When in the night I sleepless lie,
My soul with heavenly thoughts supply;
Let no ill dreams disturb my rest,
No powers of darkness me molest.
6 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host,
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Used With Tune: TALLIS' CANON

O holy city, seen of John
Author: Walter Russell Bowie, 1882-1969 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 89 hymnals Topics: General Hymns Church/Fellowship/Mission Lyrics: 1 O holy city, seen of John,
where Christ, the Lamb, doth reign,
within whose four-square walls shall come
no night, nor need, nor pain,
and where the tears are wiped from eyes
that shall not weep again.
2 O shame to us who rest content
while lust and greed for gain
in street and shop and tenement
wring gold from human pain,
and bitter lips in blind despair
cry 'Christ hath died in vain!'
3 Give us, O God, the strength to build
the city that hath stood
too long a dream, whose laws are love,
whose ways are brotherhood,
and where the sun that shineth is
God’s grace for human good.
4 Already in the mind of God
that city riseth fair:
lo, how its splendour challenges
the souls that greatly dare;
yea, bids us seize the whole of life
and build its glory there. Scripture: Revelation 21 Used With Tune: MORNING SONG Text Sources: Hymns of the Kingdon of God (Harper & Brothers, New York, 1910)

and faithful souls have yearned to see
on earth that kingdom's day.

not less to God belong;
and for the everlasting right
the silent stars are strong.
3 And lo, already on the hills
the flags of dawn appear;
gird up your loins, ye prophet souls,
proclaim the day is near:
4 the day to whose clear shining light
all wrong shall stand revealed,
when justice shall be throned in might,
and every hurt be healed;
5 when knowledge, hand in hand with peace,
shall walk the earth abroad:
the day of perfect righteousness,
the promised day of God. Used With Tune: IRISH
