How brightly shines the Morning Star

Author: John M. Sloan; Philipp Nicolai; J. A. Schlegel Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How brightly shines the Morning Star! What ray divine stream from afar! God’s glory there is shining. Bright beam of God, which scatters night, And guides the wandering soul aright, Which after truth is pining! Jesus, God’s Word, truth revealing, Sorrow healing, Soothe our sighing, Dry our tears, and end our dying. 2 My comfort here, my joy above, Man’s Son, Son of the Father’s love, Enthroned in highest heaven, With my whole heart Thy praise I sing; To Thee, our Prophet, Priest, and King, Be endless honors given. Saviour, to Thee, trusting, clinging, Come I bringing Soul and spirit, Thee, my portion, to inherit. 3 Aid me, my God, to sing Thy praise, Thine ageless love, Thy matchless grace, In Christ, our Lord appearing. When such a gift God gave for thee, When such a brother true is He, Why still my soul be fearing? Choose Him, know Him, greatest, dearest, Best and nearest, To befriend thee ‘Gainst all foes who may offend thee. Used With Tune: NICOLAI

Christians, Keep Your Banners Waving

Author: H. Brueckner; W. Arends Meter: Irregular Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Christians, keep your banners waving; The hosts of Satan all are raving, And he himself leads in the fight. Girt with truth, go forth to meet him; Yea, with the Word of God defeat him And put his wicked hordes to flight. Defy the gates of hell! With us Immanuel! Hallelujah! The mighty foe, by Him brought low, No more shall work us harm or woe. 2 Christians, fight all lust within you; Let no enticing evil win you, But conquer in the Savior's might. From the Lord new vigor gaining, Let not the light of faith be waning, But keep it ever clear an bright. If ye grow weak in soul, O look to yonder goal With its glory, And let us fight with all our might, The victor's crown we have in sight. 3 Christians, fight, for time is flying, And daily we ourselves are dying; Our sojourn here below is brief. When the world is terror-stricken, And Jesus all the dead shall quicken, Then we from death shall gain relief. So let the world deride, The Lord is on our side; We shall triumph. The deed is done, God's only Son For us the crown of life has won. Topics: The Christian Life Warfare Used With Tune: WAKE, ARISE

Sleepers, Wake! The Watch Cry Pealeth

Author: Philipp Nicolai; Frances E. Cox Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Sleepers, wake! the watch cry pealeth, While slumber deep each eyelid sealeth: Awake, Jerusalem, awake! Midnight’s solemn hour is tolling, And seraph-notes are onward rolling; They call on us our part to take. Come forth, ye virgins wise: The Bridegroom comes, arise! Alleluia! Each lamp be bright with ready light To grace the marriage feast tonight. 2. Zion hears the voice that singeth With sudden joy her glad heart springeth, At once she wakes, she stands arrayed: Her light is come, her star ascending, Lo, girt with truth, with mercy blending, Her Bridegroom there, so long delayed. All hail! God’s glorious Son, All hail! our joy and crown, Alleluia! The joyful call we answer all, And follow to the bridal hall. 3. Praise to Him who goes before us! Let men and angels join in chorus, Let harp and cymbal add their sound. Twelve the gates, a pearl each portal: We haste to join the choir immortal Within the Holy City’s bound. Ear ne’er heard aught like this, Nor heart conceived such bliss. Alleluia! We raise the song, we swell the throng, To praise Thee ages all along. Used With Tune: WACHET AUF

Glorious Majesty

Author: Samuel J. Hedborn; August W. Kjellstrand Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Glorious Majesty, before Thee Lyrics: 1. Glorious Majesty, before Thee We bow to worship and adore Thee; With grateful hearts to Thee we sing, Earth and heaven tell the story Of Thine eternal might and glory, And all Thy works their incense bring. Lo, hosts of cherubim and countless seraphim Sing hosanna, holy is God Almighty God, all merciful and all wise God! 2. God of light, exalted, holy! Thy tender care protects the lowly, Nor leaves Thy children to their fate. Gracious art Thou, God our Father, Thy chosen people Thou dost gather, Within Thine arms compassionate, Thou gavest us Thy Son, through whom Thy grace is won, And Thy Spirit dwelleth within to cleanse from sin Whom Thine own Son hath died to win. 3. Bless and keep, O Lord, Thy creatures, Reveal to us Thy gracious features, O turn to us Thy face with peace Here our songs we humbly tender, Til glorified our tongues shall render To Thee our praise without surcease, Where hosts of cherubim and countless seraphim Sing holy is God, almighty God, All merciful and all wise God!
