Author: Joseph the Hymnographer, c. 810-886; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: Christian Worship #498 (2021) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Hymnal Title: Christian Worship First Line: Stars of the morning, so gloriously bright Lyrics: 1 Stars of the morning, so gloriously bright,
angels in heaven, resplendent in light,
these, where no darkness the glory can dim,
praise the Thrice Holy One, serving but him.
2 These are your ministers, these are your own,
God of great majesty, nearest your throne;
these are your messengers, these whom you send,
helping your helpless ones, Helper and Friend.
3 Then, when the earth was first poised in mid-space,
then, when the planets first sped on their race,
then, when were ended the six days' employ,
then all the sons of God shouted for joy.
4 Still let them aid us and still let them fight,
Lord God of hosts, as they battle for right,
till, where their anthems they ceaselessly pour,
we with the angels may bow and adore. Topics: Minor Festivals St. Michael and All Angels Scripture: Psalm 103:20-21 Languages: English Tune Title: O QUANTA QUALIA
