The great forerunner of the morn
Author: John Mason Neale (1818-1866); The Venerable Bede (673-735) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 21 hymnals Scripture: John 1:1-9 Lyrics: 1 The great forerunner of the morn,
the herald of the Word, is born;
and faithful hearts shall never fail
with thanks and praise his light to hail.
2 With heavenly message Gabriel came,
that John should be that herald's name,
and with prophetic utterance told
his actions great and manifold.
3 His mighty deeds exalt his fame
to greater than a prophet's name.
Of woman-born shall never be
a greater prophet than was he.
4 To God the Father, God the Son,
and God the Spirit, Three in One,
praise, honour, might, and glory be
from age to age eternally. Topics: John the Baptist; Other Saints and Festivals The Birth of John the Baptist; Prophets; Saints St John Baptist; The Baptism of Christ Year B Used With Tune: VOM HIMMEL HOCH
The great forerunner of the morn
My heart and voice I raise
Author: Benjamin Rhodes, 1743-1815 Meter: 6.6.8 D Appears in 20 hymnals Scripture: John 1:1-9 Lyrics: 1 My heart and voice I raise
to spread Messiah's praise,
Messiah's praise let all repeat:
the universal Lord,
by whose almighty word
creation rose in form complete.
2 A servant's form he wore,
and in his body bore
our dreadful curse on Calvary:
he like a victim stood
and poured his sacred blood
to set the guilty captives free.
3 But soon the Victor rose
triumphant o'er his foes,
and led the vanquished host in chains:
he threw their empire down,
his foes compelled to own,
o'er all the great Messiah reigns.
4 With mercy's mildest grace
he governs all our race
in wisdom, righteousness and love:
who to Messiah fly
shall find redemption nigh,
and all his great salvation prove.
5 Hail, Saviour, Prince of Peace!
Your kingdom shall increase
till all the world your glory see,
and righteousness abound
as the great deep profound,
and fill the earth with purity.

on Bethlehem's peaceful hill;
silent the shepherds watching,
the gentle flocks are still.
But hark! The wondrous music
falls from the op'ning sky;
valley and cliff re-echo, "Glory to God on high!"
Refrain:
Glory to God! Glory to God!
Glory to God!
It rings again; peace on the earth!
Goodwill to men!
2 Day in the east is breaking;
day o'er the crimsoned earth;
now the glad world is waking,
glad in the Savior's birth!
See where the clear star bendeth
over the manger blessed;
see where the infant Jesus
smiles upon Mary's breast! [Refrain]
3 Come with the gladsome shepherds,
quick hast'ning from the fold;
come with the wise men, pouring
incense and myrrh and gold.
Come to him, poor and lowly,
around the cradle throne,
come with your hearts of sunshine,
and sing the angels' song. [Refrain]

He Comes to Us as One Unknown
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, 1926- Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: John 1:5-12 First Line: He comes to us as one unkown Lyrics: 1 He comes to us as one unknown,
a breath unseen, unheard;
as though within a heart of stone,
or shriveled seed in darkness sown,
a pulse of being stirred,
a pulse of being stirred.
2 He comes when souls in silence lie
and thoughts of day depart;
half-seen upon the inward eye,
a falling star across the sky
of night within the heart,
of night within the heart.
3 He comes to us in sound of seas,
the ocean's fume and foam;
yet small and still upon the breeze,
a wind that stirs the tops of trees,
a voice to call us home,
a voice to call us home.
4 He comes in love as once he came
by flesh and blood and birth;
to bear within our mortal frame
a life, a death, a saving name,
for ev'ry child of earth,
for ev'ry child of earth.
5 He comes in truth when faith is grown;
believed, obeyed, adored:
the Christ in all the scriptures shown,
as yet unseen, but not unknown,
our Savior and our Lord,
our Savior and our Lord. Topics: Son and Redeemer; Christ; Christ--Abiding with believers; Christ--Presence of Used With Tune: REPTON
