That Easter day with joy was bright
What Star Is This, with Beams So Bright?
Author: Charles Coffin; John Chandler Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 91 hymnals Matching Instances: 29 First Line: What star is this, with beams so bright Lyrics: 1. What star is this, with beams so bright,
More lovely than the noonday light?
’Tis sent to announce a newborn King,
Glad tidings of our God to bring.
2. ’Tis now fulfilled what God decreed,
From Jacob shall a star proceed;
And lo! the Eastern sages stand
To read in heaven the Lord’s command.
3. While outward signs the star displays,
An inward light the Lord conveys,
And urges them, with force benign,
To seek the Giver of the sign.
4. True love can brook no dull delay;
Nor toil nor dangers stop their way
Home, kindred, father land and all
They leave at their Creator’s call.
5. O, while the star of heavenly grace
Invites us, Lord, to seek Thy face,
May we no more that grace repel,
Or quench that light which shines so well!
6. To God the Father, God the Son,
And Holy Spirit, Three in One,
May every tongue and nation raise
An endless song of thankful praise! Used With Tune: PUER NOBIS NASCITUR Text Sources: Paris Breviary, 1736

On Jordan's Banks the Baptist's Cry
Author: Charles Coffin, 1676-1749 Appears in 230 hymnals Matching Instances: 19 Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry
announces that the Lord is nigh;
awake and harken, for he brings
glad tidings of the King of kings!
2 Then cleansed be ev'ry life from sin;
make straight the way for God within,
and let us all our hearts prepare
for Christ to come and enter there.
3 We hail you as our Savior, Lord,
our refuge and our great reward;
without your grace we waste away
like flow'rs that wither and decay.
4 Stretch forth your hand, our health restore,
and make us rise to fall no more;
O let your face upon us 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: Advent; Christ--Redeemer; Christian year--Advent; Christian year--Advent; Christian year--Baptism of the Lord; Healing; Redemption of humankind Scripture: Matthew 3:1-6 Used With Tune: PUER NOBIS

O Splendour of God's Glory Bright

the Holy Spirit's cloudless ray.

your image to our hearts is born;
O may we ever see anew
our Saviour and our God in you!

O Love, How Deep, How Broad
Author: Benjamin Webb Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 139 hymnals Matching Instances: 9 First Line: O Love, how deep, how broad, how high Lyrics: 1 O Love, how deep, how broad, how high,
how passing thought and fantasy:
that God, the Son of God, should take
our mortal form for mortals' sake.
2 For us baptized, for us he bore
his holy fast and hungered sore;
for us temptations sharp he knew,
for us the tempter overthrew.
3 For us he prayed, for us he taught,
for us his daily works he wrought,
by words and signs and actions, thus
still seeking not himself, but us.
4 For us to evil power betrayed,
scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed,
he bore the shameful cross and death,
for us gave up his dying breath.
5 For us he rose from death again;
for us he went on high to reign;
for us he sent his Spirit here
to guide, to comfort, and to cheer.
6 All glory to our Lord and God
for love so deep, so high, so broad–
the Trinity whom we adore
forever and forevermore.

Come, thou Redeemer of the earth
Author: John Mason Neale (1818-1866); St Ambrose (c. 340--397) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 11 hymnals Matching Instances: 6 Lyrics: 1 Come, thou Redeemer of the earth,
and manifest thy virgin-birth:
let every age adoring fall;
such birth befits the God of all.
2 Begotten of no human will,
but of the Spirit, thou art still
the Word of God, in flesh arrayed,
the Saviour, now to us displayed.
3 From God the Father he proceeds,
to God the Father back he speeds,
runs out his course to death and hell,
returns on God's high throne to dwell.
4 O equal to thy Father, thou!
Gird on thy fleshly mantle now,
the weakness of our mortal state
with deathless might invigorate.
5 Thy cradle here shall glitter bright,
and darkness glow with new-born light,
no more shall night extinguish day,
where love's bright beams their power display.
6 O Jesu, virgin-born, to thee
eternal praise and glory be,
whom with the Father we adore
and Holy Spirit, evermore. Amen. Topics: Adoration; Advent; Church Year Advent; Church Year Christmas; Jesus Names and images for; Light; Other Saints and Festivals St John the Evangelist; Praise; The Fourth Sunday of Advent Year B Scripture: Luke 1:26-38 Used With Tune: PUER NOBIS NASCITUR

To Shepherds as They Watched by Night
Author: Richard Massie; Martin Luther Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 16 hymnals Matching Instances: 4 Lyrics: 1 To shepherds as they watched by night
Appeared a host of angels bright;
Behold the tender Babe, they said,
In yonder lowly manger laid.
2 At Bethlehem, in David's town,
As Micah did of old make known;
'Tis Jesus Christ, your Lord and King,
Who doth to all salvation bring.
3 Oh, then rejoice that thro' His Son
God is with sinners now at one;
Made like yourselves of flesh and blood,
Your brother is th'eternal God.
4 What harm can sin and death then do?
The true God now abides with you.
Let hell and Satan rage and chafe,
Christ is your Brother--ye are safe.
5 Not one He will or can forsake
Who Him his confidence doth make.
Let all his wiles the Tempter try,
You may his utmost powers defy.
6 Ye shall and must at last prevail;
God's own ye are, ye cannot fail.
To God forever sing your praise
With joy and patience all your days.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Christmas Scripture: Luke 2:10-11 Used With Tune: PUER NOBIS NASCITUR

Junto al Jordán

de Juan Bautista, el precursor.
Anuncia que ya viene aquél
que habrá de ser nuestro Emanuel.
2 Recto ha de ser el proceder
del pueblo que aspira a ser
del templo de su habitación
y objecto de su redención.
3 Cual nuestra sola redención
te acoje nuestro corazón,
pues sin tu gracia, oh Salvador,
fallece cual marchita flor.
4 Rescátanos ya del sufrir;
no nos permitas sucumbir.
Y que tu esplendorosa faz
al mundo alumbre y traga paz.
5 Jesús que viene con virtud
y cuyo adviento trae salud,
el Padre y el Consolador
reciban gloria, prez y honor. Topics: Adviento; Adviento Scripture: John 1:29 Used With Tune: PUER NOBIS
