Wise men, they came to look for wisdom
Author: Christopher Martin Idle (b. 1938) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 60:6 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 Used With Tune: NEUMARK

Arise and shine thy light is come
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 60:1-6 Lyrics: 1 Arise and shine thy light is come,
O Zion! now thy Lord appears,
That gracious light dispels the gloom
Of all thy doubts, thy dreads and fears.
2 Though darkness covers all thy land,
And ignorance doth vail thine eyes;
Yet at the mighty Lord's command
That light shall to all nations rise.
3 From sea to sea, from shore to shore
Shall the bless'd Saviour's name be spread:
And such as knew him ne'er before
Shall own him as their king and head.
4 Glad off'rings shall all nations bring,
And worship at his gracious throne;
Adore their Lord and Sovereign King,
And make his grace to sinners known.
5 Remotest nations on the earth
Shall hear and feel and Gospel word:
Those of renown and nobler birth
Shall humbly bow to Christ, their Lord.
6 Poor straying souls shall find their God,
And know their sins to be for giv'n,
And sanctified through Jesus' blood:
They shall be made the heirs of heav'n.

Rise Up and Shine
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. (1944-) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 60 First Line: Rise up and shine! Your light has come Lyrics: 1 Rise up and shine! Your light has come;
God's glory breaks like dawn.
For though the earth be cloaked in night
and gloom shrouds everyone,
yet over you the Lord will rise,
with glory gleaming clear,
till nations turn to seek your light
and humbled kings draw near.
2 Fling wide your gates, both day and night;
no more keep watch or guard.
You will be called God's holy hill,
the city of the Lord.
No sound of strife will plague your land,
nor harm besiege your ways;
"Salvation" will you name your walls,
and all your portals "Praise."
3 No more will you implore the sun
to shed by day its light,
nor will you need the changeful moon
to glisten through the night.
Your glory then will be your God,
whose light will never cease.
Rise up and shine! Your light has come
to give you joy and peace. Topics: Epiphany (season); Jesus Christ, Light; Light; The New Jerusalem; Christmas Used With Tune: PETER'S BROOK
