Now Israel's Hope in Triumph Ends

Author: Samuel Joh. Hedborn, 1783-1849 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #47b (1901) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Now Israel’s hope in triumph ends, With angels’ glorious song ascends A star of heavenly splendor. O’er Bethlehem it shineth bright, All people guided by its light, Shall come and homage render. Great light, Bright light Now descendeth, Darkness endeth, Day beginneth, Light to all the world it bringeth. 2 Among us dwells in truth and grace The hidden God, who loves our race; He brought us all salvation. We now behold His majesty, The only Son’s true majesty, And bow in adoration. Draw near, And hear, Every nation, Now salvation God bestoweth. And His love and mercy showeth. 3 Rejoice, my soul, and bless His Name Who to the lost and fallen came, To open heaven’s portals. Rejoice that God will mercy show, The broken covenant renew With us poor sinful mortals. Now be Glory Ever given God in heaven; Peace unending Be to earth from heaven descending.

Brightest and Best of the Sons of the Morning

Author: Reginald Heber, 1782-1825 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #48 (1901) Meter: 11.10.11.10 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 Languages: English Tune Title: MORNING STAR

O Thou, Who by a Star Didst Guide

O Saviour, give us, then, Thy grace To make us pure in heart; That we may see Thee face to face Hereafter, as Thou art. Amen. Topics: Epiphany Languages: English Tune Title: ST. LEONARD

Hail, Thou Source of Every Blessing

Author: Basil Woodd, 1760-1831 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #50 (1901) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Hail, Thou Source of every blessing, Sovereign Father of mankind! Gentiles now, Thy grace possessing, In Thy courts admission find. Grateful now we fall before Thee, In Thy Church obtain a place; Now by faith behold Thy glory, Praise Thy truth, adore Thy grace. 2 Once far off, but now invited, We approach Thy sacred throne; In Thy covenant united, Reconciled, redeemed, made one. Now revealed to eastern sages, See the star of mercy shine: Mystery hid in former ages, Mystery great of love divine. 3 Hail, Thou all-inviting Saviour! Gentiles now their offerings bring; In Thy temple seek Thy favour, Jesus Christ, our Lord and King. May we, body, soul, and spirit, Live devoted to Thy praise, Glorious realms of bliss inherit, Grateful anthems ever raise. Amen.

Light of the Gentile Nations

Author: Johann Franck, 1618-1677 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #51 (1901) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Light of the Gentile nations, Thy people's joy and love, Drawn by Thy Spirit hither, We gladly come to prove Thy presence in Thy temple, And wait with earnest mind. As Simeon once had waited His Saviour God to find. 2 Yes, Lord, Thy servants meet Thee, E'en now, in every place Where Thy true Word hath promised That they should see Thy face. Thou yet will gently grant us, Who gather round Thee here, In faith's strong arms to bear Thee, As once that aged seer. 3 Be Thou our Joy, our Brightness, That shines 'mid pain and loss, Our Sun in times of terror, The glory round our cross: A glow in sinking spirits, A sunbeam in distress, Physician, Friend in sickness, In death our happiness. 4 Let us, O Lord, be faithful With Simeon to the end, That so his dying song may From all our hearts ascend: "O Lord, now let Thy servant Depart in peace for aye, Since I have seen my Saviour, Have here beheld His day." 5 My Saviour, I behold Thee Now with the eye of faith: No foe of Thee can rob me, Though bitter words he saith: Within Thy heart abiding, As Thou dost dwell in me, No pain, no death has terrors To part my soul from Thee!

Rise, O Salem, Rise and Shine

Author: Johann Rist, 1607-1667 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #53 (1901) Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Rise, O Salem, rise and shine; Lo! the Gentiles hail thy waking; Herald of a morn divine, See the Days-pring o’er us breaking, Telling God hath called to mind Those who long in darkness pined. 2 Ah, how blindly did we stray, Ere this Sun our earth had brightened; Heaven we sought not, for no ray Had our wildered eyes enlightened: All our looks were earthward bent, All our strength on earth was spent. 3 But the Day-spring from on high Hath arisen with beams unclouded, And we see before it fly All the heavy gloom that shrouded This sad earth, where sin and woe Seemed to reign o’er all below. 4 Thine appearing, Lord, shall fill All my thoughts in sorrow’s hour; Thine appearing, Lord, shall still All my dread of death’s dark power; Whether joys or tears be mine, Through them still Thy light shall shine. 5 Let me, when my course is run, Calmly leave a world of sadness For the place that needs no sun, For Thou art its light and gladness; For the mansions fair and bright, Where Thy saints are crowned with light.

Christ the Life of all the Living

Author: Ernest Christopher Homburg, 1605-1681 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #54a (1901) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Christ the Life of all the living, Christ the Death of death our foe, Who Thyself for us once giving To the darkest depths of woe, Patiently didst yield Thy breath but to save my soul from death, Praise and glory ever be, Blessed Jesus, unto Thee. 2 Thou, ah Thou, hast taken on Thee Bitter strokes, a cruel rod; Pain and scorn were heaped upon Thee, 0 Thou sinless Son of God. Only thus for me to win Rescue from the bonds of sin; Praise and glory ever be, Blessed Jesus, unto Thee. 3 Thou didst bear the smiting only That it might not fall on me; Stoodest falsely charged and lonely, That I might be safe and free; Comfortless that I might know Comfort from Thy boundless woe. Praise and glory ever be, Blessed Jesus, unto Thee. 4 Then for all that wrought our pardon, For Thy sorrows deep and sore, For Thine anguish in the garden, I will thank Thee evermore; Thank Thee with my latest breath For Thy sad and cruel death, For that last and bitter cry; Praise Thee evermore on high.
