O thou, who by a star didst guide
Author: John Mason Neale, 1818 - 66 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #54a (1958) Lyrics: 1 O thou, who by a star didst guide
The wise men on their way,
Until it came and stood beside
The place where Jesus lay;
2 Although by stars thou dost not lead
Thy servants now below,
Thy Holy Spirit, when they need,
Will show them how to go. A-men.
3 As yet we know thee but in part,
But still we trust thy word
That blessèd are the pure in heart,
For they shall see the Lord.
4 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.

O thou, who by a star didst guide
Songs of thankfulness and praise
Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-85 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #55 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Songs of thankfulness and praise,
Jesus, Lord, to thee we raise,
Manifested by the star
To the sages from afar,
Branch of royal David's stem
In thy birth at Bethlehem:
Anthems be to thee addrest,
God in Man made manifest.
2 Manifest at Jordan's stream,
Prophet, Priest, and King supreme;
And at Cana wedding guest
In thy God-head manifest;
Manifest in power divine,
Changing water into wine:
Anthems be to thee addrest,
God in Man made manifest. A-men.
3 Manifest in making whole
Palsied limbs and fainting soul;
Manifest in valiant fight,
Quelling all the devil's might;
Manifest in gracious will,
Ever bringing good from ill:
Anthems be to thee addrest,
God in Man made manifest.
4 Grant us grace to see thee, Lord,
Mirrored in thy holy word;
May we imitate thee now,
And be pure, as pure art thou;
That we like to thee may be
At thy great Epiphany:
And may praise thee, ever blest,
God in Man made manifest.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Epiphany Languages: English Tune Title: TICHFIELD
Songs of thankfulness and praise
O one with God the Father
Author: William Walsham How, 1823 - 97 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #56 (1958) Lyrics: 1 O one with God the Father
In majesty and might,
The brightness of his glory,
Eternal Light of Light,
O'er this our home of darkness
Thy rays are streaming now;
The shadows flee before thee,
The world's true Light art thou.
2 Yet, Lord, we see but darkly;
O heavenly Light, arise,
Dispel these mists that shroud us,
And hide thee from our eyes.
We long to track the footprints
That thou thyself hast trod;
We long to see the pathway
That leads to thee, our God.
3 O Jesus, shine around us
With radiance of thy grace;
O Jesus, turn upon us
The brightness of thy face.
We need no star to guide us
As on our way we press,
If thou thy light vouchsafest,
O Sun of Righteousness. Topics: The Church Year Epiphany Languages: English Tune Title: ROTTERDAM
O one with God the Father
Bright and glorious is the sky
Author: Nikolai F. S. Grundtvig, 1783-1872 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #57 (1958) Topics: The Church Year Epiphany Languages: English Tune Title: CELESTIA
Bright and glorious is the sky
Alleluia, song of sweetness
Author: John Mason Neale, 1818 - 66 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #58 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Alleluia, song of sweetness,
Voice of joy that cannot die;
Alleluia is the anthem
Ever dear to choirs on high;
In the house of God abiding
Thus they sing eternally.
2 Alleluia, thou resoundest,
True Jerusalem and free;
Alleluia, joyful mother,
All thy children sing with thee;
But by Babylon's sad waters
Mourning exiles now are we. Amen.
3 Alleluia cannot always
Be our song while here below;
Alleluia our transgressions
Make us for a while forego;
For the solemn time is coming
When our tears for sin must flow.
4 Therefore in our hymns we pray thee
Grant us, blessèd Trinity,
At the last to keep thine Easter
In our home beyond the sky,
There to thee forever singing
Alleluia joyfully.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Septuagesima to Lent Languages: English Tune Title: TANTUM ERGO (DULCE CARMEN)
Alleluia, song of sweetness
Hark! the voice of Jesus crying
Author: Daniel March, 1816 - 1909 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #59 (1958) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Hark! the voice of Jesus crying,
'Who will go and work today?
Fields are white and harvests waiting,
Who will bear the sheaves away?'
Loud and long the Master calleth;
Rich reward he offers free;
Who will answer, gladly saying,
'Here am I; send me, send me?'
2 If you cannot speak like angels,
If you cannot preach like Paul,
You can tell the love of Jesus,
You can say he died for all.
If you cannot rouse the wicked
With the judgment's dread alarms,
You can lead the little children
To the Saviour's waiting arms.
3 Let none hear you idly saying,
'There is nothing I can do,'
While the souls of men are dying,
And the Master calls for you:
Take the task he gives you gladly,
Let his work your pleasure be;
Answer quickly when he calleth,
'Here am I; send me, send me.'

Hark! the voice of Jesus crying
How blessed from the bonds of sin
Author: Jane Borthwick, 1813 - 97; Karl Johann Philipp Spitta, 1801 - 59 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #60 (1958) Lyrics: 1 How blessed from the bonds of sin
And earthly fetters free,
In singleness of heart and aim
Thy servant, Lord, to be!
The hardest toil to undertake
With joy at thy command,
The meanest office to receive
With meekness at thy hand!
2 With willing heart and longing eyes
To watch before thy gate,
Ready to run the weary race,
To bear the heavy weight;
No voice of thunder to expect,
But follow, calm and still,
For love can easily divine
The One Beloved’s will.
3 Thus may we serve thee, gracious Lord!
Thus ever thine alone,
Our souls and bodies given to thee,
The purchase thou hast won;
Through evil or through good report
Still keeping by thy side.
By life or death, in this poor flesh
Let Christ be magnified!
4 How happily the working days
In this dear service fly!
How rapidly the closing hour,
The time of rest, draws nigh!
When all the faithful gather home,
A joyful company,
And ever where the Master is,
Shall his blest servants be. Topics: The Church Year Septuagesima to Lent Languages: English Tune Title: RELEASE
How blessed from the bonds of sin
Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle
Author: John Mason Neale, 1818 - 66; Venantius Fortunatus, 530 - 609 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #61a (1958) Lyrics: 1 Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle,
Sing the ending of the fray;
Now above the Cross, the trophy,
Sound the loud triumphant lay:
Tell how Christ, the world's Redeemer,
As a Victim won the day.
2 Thirty years among us dwelling,
His appointed time fulfilled,
Born for this, he meets his Passion,
For that this he freely willed,
On the Cross the Lamb is lifted
Where his lifeblood shall be spilled.
3 Faithful Cross; above all other,
One and only noble Tree!
None in foliage, none in blossom,
None in fruit thy peer may be;
Sweetest wood and sweetest iron;
Sweetest weight is hung on thee. A-men.
4 Bend thy boughs, O Tree of Glory,
Thy relaxing sinews bend;
For awhile the ancient rigor
That thy birth bestowed, suspend;
And the King of heavenly beauty
On thy bosom gentle tend.
5 To the Trinity be glory
Everlasting, as is meet;
Equal to the Father, equal
To the Son, and Paraclete:
God the Three in One, whose praises
All created things repeat.

O Christ, our King, Creator, Lord
Author: Ray Palmer, 1808 - 87; St. Gregory, 540 - 604 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #62a (1958) Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our King, Creator, Lord,
Saviour of all who trust thy word,
To them who seek thee ever near,
Now to our praises bend thine ear.
2 In thy dear Cross a grace is found,
It flows from every streaming wound,
Whose power our inbred sin controls,
Breaks the firm bond, and frees our souls.

Yet thou hast veiled in flesh thy light,
Hast deigned a mortal form to wear,
A mortal's painful lot to bear. A-men.
4 When thou didst hang upon the Tree
The quaking earth acknowledged thee,
When thou didst there yield up thy breath
The world grew dark as shades of death.
5 Now in the Father's glory high,
Great Conqueror, never more to die,
Us by thy mighty power defend,
And reign through ages without end.

My song is love unknown
Author: Samuel Crossman, 1624 - 83 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #65 (1958) Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown,
My Saviour’s love to me;
Love to the loveless shown
That they might lovely be.
O who am I,
That for my sake
My Lord should take
Frail flesh, and die?
My Lord should take
Frail flesh, and die?
2 He came from his blest throne
Salvation to bestow;
But men made strange, and none
The longed-for Christ would know.
But O, my friend,
My friend indeed,
Who at my need
His life did spend!
Who at my need
His life did spend!
3 Sometimes they strew his way
And his sweet praises sing;
Resounding all the day
Hosannas to their king.
Then 'Crucify!'
Is all their breath,
And for his death
They thirst and cry.
And for his death
They thirst and cry.
4 Why, what hath my Lord done?
What makes this rage and spite?
He made the lame to run,
He gave the blind their sight.
Sweet injuries!
Yet they at these
Themselves displease,
And 'gainst him rise.
Themselves displease,
And 'gainst him rise.
5 They rise, and needs will have
My dear Lord made away;
A murderer they save,
The Prince of Life they slay.
Yet cheerful he
To suffering goes,
That he his foes
From thence might free.
That he his foes
From thence might free.
6 Here might I stay and sing,
No story so divine;
Never was love, dear King,
Never was grief like thine.
This is my friend,
In whose sweet praise
I all my days
Could gladly spend.
I all my days
Could gladly spend. Topics: The Church Year Lent Languages: English Tune Title: RHOSYMEDRE
My song is love unknown
Wide open are thy hands
Author: Charles Porterfield Krauth, 1823 - 83; St. Bernard of Clairvaux, 1091 - 1153 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #66 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Wide open are thy hands,
Paying with more than gold
The awful debt of guilty men,
Forever and of old.
Ah, let me grasp those hands,
That we may never part,
And let the power of their blood
Sustain my fainting heart.
2 Wide open are thine arms,
A fallen world to embrace;
To take to love and endless rest
Our whole forsaken race.
Lord, I am sad and poor,
But boundless is thy grace;
Give me the soul-transforming joy
For which I seek thy face.
3 Draw all my mind and heart
Up to thy throne on high,
And let thy sacred Cross exalt
My spirit to the sky.
To these, thy mighty hands,
My spirit I resign;
Living, I live alone to thee,
Dying, alone am thine.
Amen.
