Hymnal: Voices of Praise #335 (1883) Lyrics: 1 Stars all bright are beaming, From the skies above, Nature's face all gleaming, Shines with Heav'n's own love. Chorus: Wake and sing, good Christians, On this Birth-day Morn, Heaven and Earth are telling God for man is born. 2 Here for us abiding, Cradled in a Stall, All His glory hiding, See the Lord of all! [Chorus] 3 Born that He might lead us, From this desert home, Guide our way, and feed us, Till the end shall come. [Chorus] 4 Thousand thousand blessings Sing we for His Love, Choral Hymns addressing To our Lord above. [Chorus] 5 Glory in the Highest, For this wondrous Birth; Choir of Heaven! thou criest Peace to all the Earth! {Chorus] Topics: Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: [Stars all bright are beaming]

Richard R. Chope

1830 - 1928 Author of "Stars All Bright Are Beaming" in The Cyber Hymnal Chope, Richard Robert, M.A., born Sept. 21, 1830, educated at Exeter College, Oxford, B.A., 1855, and took Holy Orders as Curate of Stapleton, 1856. During his residence at Stapleton the necessities of the Choir led him to plan his Congregational Hymn and Tune Book, published in 1857. In 1858 he took the Curacy of Sherborne, Dorset; in the following year that of Upton Scudamore, where he undertook the training of the Chorus of the Warminster district for the first Choral Festival in Salisbury Cathedral; and in 1861 that of Brompton. The enlarged edition of The Congregational Hymn Book was published 1862, and The Canticles, Psalter, &c, of the Prayer Book, Noted and Pointed, during the same year. In 1865 he was preferred to the parish of St. Augustine's, Queen's Gate, South Kensington, and subsequently published Carols for Use in Church during Christmas and Epiphany, 1875; Carols for Easier and Other Tides, 1887; and other works. Mr. Chope has been one of the leaders in the revival and reform of Church Music as adapted to the Public Services. He was one of the originators of The Choir and Musical Record, and was for some time the proprietor and assistant editor of the Literary Churchman. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
