Jesus! great and wondrous Star

Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus! great and wondrous Star, Both from Jacob's line and heaven, Festive gifts from near and far On this day to Thee are given: Oh! accept most graciously What I humbly offer Thee. 2 Saba bringeth gold to Thee; Lord, I give what thou hast given: gold of faith receive from me-- Precious gold that counts in heaven/1 Prove it, purge it free from dross In the furnace of the cross. 3 Take the frankincense of prayer; May it prove a sweet oblation! Heart ad lips shall everywhere Strive to meet Thy approbation; Hear and heed my prayer, and then Seal it with Thy "Yea: Amen!" 4 Take contrition, bitter myrrh; O how sorely my sins grieve me! Pardon, healing, peace restore; Thou art true, and wilt relieve me. Lord, I praise Thee! and believe Thou my offering dost receive. Topics: The Church Year Epiphany

That lost man might life inherit, Made true Man, our elder Brother, Was crucified by sinful men, And raised by God to life again. 3 Also the Holy Ghost we own, Who sweet grace and comfort giveth, And with the Father and the Son In eternal glory liveth; Who the Christian church doth even Keep in unity of spirit; Sins are verily forgiven Through the blest Redeemer's merit: All flesh shall rise again, and we Shall live with God eternally.

Make us delight in serving Thee In perfect love and unity. 7 Into temptation lead us not, When Satan doth against us plot; Upon the left hand and the right O help us valiantly to fight, Fimr in the faith, a well-armed host, Through comfort of the Holy Ghost. 8 From evil, Lord, deliver us, The times and days are perilous; O save us from eternal death, And comfort us in our last breath; Grant us a blessed end, and take Our souls to Thee for Jesus' sake. 9 Amen, Amen: so shall it be! Confirm our faith continually, So that we firmly may believe What we here ask we shall receive, Since in Thy name, and at Thy Word, We pray to Thee. Amen, O Lord. Topics: The Catechism Prayer
