As with gladness men of old
Author: William Chatterton Dix (1837-1898) Hymnal: CH4 #326 (2005) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old
did the guiding star behold,
as with joy they hailed its light,
leading onwards, beaming bright;
so, most gracious Lord, may we
evermore be led to thee.
2 As with joyful steps they sped,
Saviour, to thy lowly bed,
there to bend the knee before
thee, whom heaven and earth adore;
so may we with willing feet
ever seek thy mercy-seat.
3 As they offered gifts most rare
at thy homely cradle bare;
so may we with holy joy,
pure and free from sin's alloy,
all our costliest treasures bring,
Christ, to thee, our heavenly King.
4 Holy Jesus! every day
keep us in the narrow way;
and, when earthly things are past,
bring our ransomed lives at last
where they need no star to guide,
where no clouds thy glory hide.
5 In the heavenly country bright,
need they no created light;
thou its light, its joy, its crown,
thou its sun which goes not down;
there for ever may we sing
alleluias to our King. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Christmas and Epiphany; Christian Year Season of Epiphany Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12 Languages: English Tune Title: DIX
As with gladness men of old
Brightest and best of the sons of the morning
Author: Reginald Heber (1783-1826) Hymnal: CH4 #327 (2005) 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 dew-drops 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,
odours 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 favour 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. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Christmas and Epiphany; Christian Year Season of Epiphany Scripture: Revelation 22:16 Languages: English Tune Title: WAS LEBET, WAS SCHWEBET
Brightest and best of the sons of the morning
Wise men, they came to look for wisdom
Author: Christopher Martin Idle (b. 1938) Hymnal: CH4 #328 (2005) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Wise men, they came to look for wisdom,
finding one wiser than they knew;
rich men, they met with one yet richer--
King of the kings, they knelt to you:
Jesus, our wisdom from above,
wealth and redemption, life and love.
2 Pilgrims they were, from unknown countries,
searching for one who knows the world;
lost are their names, and strange their journeys,
famed is their zeal to find the child:
Jesus, in you the lost are claimed,
aliens are found and known and named.
3 Magi, they stooped to see your splendor,
led by a star to light supreme;
promised Messiah, Lord eternal,
glory and peace are in your name:
Joy of each day, our song by night,
shine on our path your holy light.
4 Guests of their God, they opened treasures,
incense and gold and solemn myrrh;
welcoming one too young to question
how came these gifts, and what they were:
Gift beyond price of gold or gem,
make among us your Bethlehem. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Christmas and Epiphany; Christian Year Season of Epiphany Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:30 Languages: English Tune Title: NEUMARK
Wise men, they came to look for wisdom
O little Love, who comes again
Author: Shirley Erena Murray (b. 1931) Hymnal: CH4 #329 (2005) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O little Love, who comes again,
the Word made flesh to make God plain,
O Child who shines, the Jesus light,
disarm the world,
this Christmas night!
2 No heart so hard it may not move,
no hate resist your open love;
defenceless in our hands you come
to Herod's power,
to Mary's home.
3 As all the wise look for your star,
so I must follow where you are:
as you are light so must I be,
as you are peace,
be peace in me. Topics: Christ Incarnate Christmas and Epiphany; Christian Year Season of Epiphany; Jesus Word of God; Light Scripture: Colossians 1:19-20 Languages: English Tune Title: PEACE CAROL
O little Love, who comes again

On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry
Author: Charles Coffin (1676-1749); John Chandler (1806-1876) Hymnal: CH4 #334 (2005) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry
announces that the Lord is nigh;
awake and hearken for he brings
glad tidings of the King of kings.
2 Then cleansed be every heart from sin;
make straight the way for God within;
prepare we in our hearts a home,
where such a mighty Guest may come.
3 For you are our salvation, Lord,
our refuge and our great reward;
without your grace we waste away,
like flowers that wither and decay.
4 Stretch out your hand, to heal our sore,
and make us rise to fall no more;
once more upon your people shine,
and fill the world with love divine.
5 All praise to you, eternal Son,
whose advent has our freedom won,
whom with the Father we adore,
and Holy Spirit, evermore. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Public Ministry; Christian Year Lent; Christian Year Season of Epiphany; Jesus baptism Scripture: Ephesians 5:14 Languages: English Tune Title: WINCHESTER NEW (CRASSELIUS)
