When, marshaled on the nightly plain

Author: Kirke White Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 481 hymnals Scripture: Luke 1:78 Lyrics: 1 When, marshaled on the nightly plain, The glittering hosts bestud the sky, One star alone, of all the train, Can fix the sinner's wandering eye. 2 Hark! hark! to God the chorus breaks, From every host, from every gem; But one alone the Saviour speaks,-- It is the Star of Bethlehem. 3 Once on the raging seas I rode, The storm was loud, the night was dark-- The ocean yawned--and rudely blowed The wind, that tossed my foundering bark. 4 Deep horror then my vitals froze, Death-struck, I ceased the tide to stem;-- When suddenly a star arose,-- It was the Star of Bethlehem. 5 It was my guide, my light, my all; It bad my dark forebodings cease; And, through the storm, and danger's thrall, It led me to the port of peace. 6 Now safely moored, my perils o'er, I'll sing, first in night's diadem, Forever and for evermore, The Star--the Star of Bethlehem!

Angels' music

Author: Edwin H. Sears Appears in 349 hymnals Scripture: Luke 1:78 First Line: Calm on the listening ear of night Lyrics: 1 Calm on the listening ear of night, Come heaven's melodious strains, Where wild Judea stretches far Her silver-mantled plains. Celestial choirs, from courts above, Shed sacred glories there, And angels, with their sparkling lyres, Make music on the air. 2 The answering hills of Palestine Send back the glad reply, And greet from all their holy heights The Dayspring from on high: O'er the blue depths of Galilee There comes a holier calm; And Sharon waves in solemn praise Her silent groves of palm. 3 "Glory to God!" the lofty strain The realms of ether fills; How sweeps the song of solemn joy O'er Judah's sacred hills! "Glory to God!" the sounding skies Loud with their anthems ring: "Peace on the earth; good-will to men, From heaven's eternal King."

Hail the Bless’d Morn

Author: Reginald Heber Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 226 hymnals Scripture: Luke 1:78-79 First Line: Hail the bless’d morn, see the great Mediator Lyrics: 1 Hail the bless’d morn, see the great Mediator down from the region of glory descend! Shepherds, go worship the babe in the manger, lo, for his guard the bright angels attend. 2 Shall we not yield him, in costly devotion, fragrance of Edom and off’rings divine, gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean, myrrh from the forest or gold from the mine? 3 Vainly we offer each ample oblation, vainly with gifts would his favor secure. Richer by far is the heart’s adoration, dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. 4 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 Savior of all. 5 Bright-est and best of the stars 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.
