Ne aŭdas ni la venon ; sed al la peka mond', Se oni nur akceptos lin, li venos je respond'. 4. Ho Sankta Beb' el Betlehem'! Ni preĝas el la kor': Naskiĝu vi jam nun en ni kaj pekon pelu for. La sankta anĝelaro ĝojegas en ĉiel' ; Ho venu kaj restadu nun kun ni, Emanuel'! Topics: Christmas Used With Tune: CHRISTMAS CAROL Text Sources: HE 34

Hail the Bless’d Morn

Author: Reginald Heber Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 226 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12 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.
