Oh Jesus Christ, How Bright And Fair
Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Kelly Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #15136 Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7.8.8.8 First Line: Oh, Jesus Christ! how bright and fair Lyrics: 1 Oh, Jesus Christ! how bright and fair
The state of holy marriage where
Thy blessing rich is given!
What gracious gifts Thou dost bestow,
What streams of blessing ever flow
Down from Thy holy Heaven,
When they true stay
To Thee ever, leave Thee never,
Whose troth plighted,
In one life have been united.
2 When man and wife are mated well,
In harmony together dwell,
Are faithful to each other,
The streams of bliss flow constantly;
What bliss of angels is on high
From hence may we discover;
No storm, no worm
Can destroy it, can e’er gnaw it,
What God giveth
To the pair that in Him liveth.
3 He giveth of His grace the boon,
And in its bosom late and soon
His own beloved He keepeth;
His arms He daily spreadeth o’er,
Guards as a father by His power,
Us and our house, nor sleepeth,
Still we must be
Here and thither roaming ever,
Till He gives us
Pious homes, and thus relieves us.
4 The husband’s like a goodly tree
Whose branches spread so fair and free;
The wife a vine that giveth
Much fruit, and nurtures what it bears;
Whose fruit increaseth with the years,
Fruit that remains and liveth.
Jewel, all hail!
Husband’s treasure! house’s pleasure!
Crown of honor!
On His throne God thinketh on her.
5 O wife! the Lord hath chosen thee
That from thy womb brought forth should be
The folk His church that buildeth;
His wondrous work goes on for aye,
The mighty word His mouth doth say,
What thou beholdest, yieldeth;
Sons fair stand there,
Daughters sitting, working, knitting,
Finely spinning,
And with art time wisely winning.
6 Be of good cheer, it was not we
Who first this order did decree,
It was a higher Father,
Who loved and loveth us for aye,
And from whose lips when grieved each day
We friendly counsel gather;
Good end He’ll send,
What we’re doing and pursuing,
Or conceiving
Wise and happy issue giving.
7 A time will come, it cannot fail,
When we ’neath trials sore shall quail,
And tears be freely flowing;
To him who bears it patiently,
By God’s grace shall his sorrow be
Turned into joy o’erflowing;
Toil now, wait thou,
He arriveth who rest giveth,
Who can ever
Banish care and soon deliver.
8 Come hither, then, my king so blessed!
In trials guide, in pain give rest,
In anxious times relieving!
To Thee we shall ascribe the praise,
Our hearts and voices we shall raise
In one loud song, thanks giving,
Till we with Thee
Ever dwelling, and fulfilling,
They will ever,
Thy name cease to praise shall never. Languages: English Tune Title: WIE SCHÖN LEUCHTET
Oh Jesus Christ, How Bright And Fair
O Morning Star! how fair and bright
Author: Catherine Winkworth; Philipp Nicolai Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #278 (1908) Lyrics: 1 O Morning Star! how fair and bright
Thou beamest forth in truth and light;
O Sov'reign meek and lowly,
Thou Root of Jesse, David's Son,
My Lord and Bridegroom, Thou hast won
My heart to serve Thee solely!
Holy art Thou,
Fair and glorious, all victorious,
Rich in blessing,
Rule and might o'er all possessing.
2 Thou Heavenly Brightness! Light Divine!
O deep within my heart now shine,
And make Thee there an altar!
Fill me with joy and strength to be
Thy member, ever joined to Thee
In love that cannot falter;
Toward Thee longing
Doth possess me; turn and bless me,
For Thy gladness
Eye and heart here pine in sadness.
3 But if Thou look on me in love,
There straightway falls from God above
A ray of purest pleasure;
Thy Word and Spirit, flesh and blood,
Refresh my soul with heavenly food,
Thou art my hidden treasure;
Let Thy grace, Lord,
Warm and cheer me, O draw near me;
Thou hast taught us
Thee to seek, since Thou hast sought us!
4 Here will I rest, and this hold fast:
The Lord I love is First and Last,
The End as the Beginning!
Here I can calmly die, for Thou
Wilt raise me where Thou swellest now,
Above all tears, all sinning;
Amen! Amen!
Come, Lord Jesus, soon release us;
With deep yearning,
Lord, we look for Thy returning! Topics: The Catechism The Redeemer; Second Sunday of Advent; Sixth Sunday after Epiphany; Twentieth Sunday after Trinity Languages: English Tune Title: NICOLAI (WIE SCHÖN LEUCHTET DER MORGENSTERN)

with mercy beaming from afar;
the host of heav'n rejoices;
O righteous Branch, O Jesse’s Rod,
O Son of man, and Son of God,
we too will lift our voices.
Jesus, Jesus, holy, holy, yet most lowly,
now draw near us;
great Emmanuel, kindly hear us.
2 Though circled by the hosts on high,
he deigned to cast a loving eye
upon his helpless creature;
the whole creation’s Head and Lord,
by highest seraphim adored,
assumed our very nature.
Jesus, grant us through your merit, to inherit
your salvation;
hear, O hear our supplication.
3 Rejoice, O heav'ns, and earth reply;
with praise, you sinners, fill the sky
for this, his incarnation.
Incarnate God, put forth your pow'r;
ride on, ride on, great Conqueror,
till all know your salvation.
Amen, amen! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Praise be given
evermore by earth and heaven. Topics: Christmas; Christian year--Christmas Scripture: Job 38:7 Languages: English Tune Title: WIE SCHÖN LEUCHTET DER MORGENSTERN (NICOLAI)

O Holy Ghost, descend, we pray
Author: Michael Schirmer Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #103 (1908) Lyrics: 1 O Holy Ghost descend, we pray,
Abide with us from day to day,
Thy temple deign to make us!
Let Thy bright beams, thou heav'nly Light,
Dispel the darkness of our night,
To joy and gladness wake us;
That we
To Thee
Truly living,
To Thee giving
Pray'r unceasing,
Still may be in love increasing.

That in our hearts, from this good hour,
As fire it may be glowing;

And Spirit, on one common throne,
Confess, Thy glory showing.

And sway
Our souls ever,
That they never
May forsake Thee,
But by faith their refuge make Thee.
3 Thou Fountain whence all wisdom flows
Which God on pious hearts bestows,
Grant us Thy consolation,
that in our pure faith's unity,
We faithful witnesses may be
Of grace that brings salvation.
Hear us,
Cheer us
By Thy teaching,
Let our preaching
And our labor
Praise the Lord and bless our neighbor.

That we may understand Thy will;
We err unless Thou guide us.

May ever faithful prove to Thee,
Whatever woes betide us.

Defend
From all errors
And earth's terrors;
Be our healing,
Jesus' love and peace revealing.

That we may act the valiant part
With Thee as our reliance;
Be Thou our Captain and our Shield,
That we may never quit the field,
But bid the foe defiance.
Heed us!
Speed us!
O'er us hover
As our Cover;
Thy Salvation
Be our constant consolation.

Let Thy dear Word, 'mid doubt and strife,
Be so within us burning
That we be faithful unto death,
In Thy pure love and holy faith
From Thee true wisdom learning!
Thy fire
Inspire
Quick'ning savor,
That with favor
Our behavior
May confess Christ as our Savior.
7 O gentle Dew, from heav'n now fall
With power upon the hearts of all,
Thy tenderness instilling;
That heart to heart more closely bound,
Fruitful in kindly deeds be found,
The law of love fulfilling!
No ill
Shall fill
Hearts that love Thee
And approve Thee;
Where Thou livest,
Peace, good will, and joy Thou givest,
8 Grant that our days, while life shall last,
In humble holiness be passed;
Our minds fill with Thy leaven,
That they may rise o'er things of earth,
The hopes and joys that here have birth,
And live in joys of heaven.
Sustain,
Restrain
From offences
Hearts and senses;
Blessed Spirit!
Bid us thus true life inherit. Topics: The Church Year Pentecost; Whitsunday; Fourth Sunday after Trinity Languages: English Tune Title: NICOLAI (WIE SCHÖN LEUCHTET DER MORGENSTERN)

How Brightly Beams the Morning Star!
Author: Johann A. Schlegel; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2493 Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7.8.8.8 First Line: How brightly beams the Morning Star Lyrics: 1. How brightly beams the Morning Star!
What sudden radiance from afar
Doth glad us with its shining,
Brightness of God that breaks our night
And fills the darkened souls with light
Who long for truth were pining!
Thy Word, Jesu, inly feeds us,
Rightly leads us, life bestowing;
Praise, oh praise such love o’erflowing.
2. Thou here my comfort, there my crown,
Thou King of Heav’n, who camest down
To dwell as man beside me;
My heart doth praise Thee o’er and o’er,
If Thou art mine I ask no more,
Be wealth or fame denied me;
Thee I seek now; none who proves Thee,
None who loves Thee finds Thee fail him;
Lord of life, Thy powers avail him!
3. Through Thee alone can I be blest,
Then deep be on my heart impressed
The love that Thou hast borne me;
So make it ready to fulfill
With burning zeal Thy holy will,
Though men may vex or scorn me;
Savior, let me never lose Thee,
For I choose Thee, thirst to know Thee;
All I am and have I owe Thee!
4. O God, our Father far above,
Thee too I praise for all the love
Thou in Thy Son dost give me!
In Him am I made one with Thee,
My brother and my friend is He;
Shall aught affright or grieve me?
He is Greatest, Best, and Highest,
Ever nighest to the weakest;
Fear no foes, if Him thou seekest!
5. O praise to Him who came to save,
Who conquered death and burst the grave;
Each day new praise resoundeth
To Him the Lamb who once was slain,
The Friend whom none shall trust in vain,
Whose grace for aye aboundeth;
Sing, ye heavens, tell the story
Of His glory, till His praises
Flood with light earth’s darkest places. Languages: English Tune Title: WIE SCHÖN LEUCHTET
