Oh Jesus Christ, How Bright And Fair

Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Kelly Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals 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.

Brillante en celestial fulgor

Author: Federico Fliedner, 1845-1901; Philipp Nicolai, 1556-1608 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Brillante celestial fulgor, Su luz esparce alrededor La estrella matutina: El día anuncia de solaz, De libertad y dulce paz En hora ya vecina. Cuando dando A nuestra alma la fiel palma De victoria, Dios nos llevará a la gloria. 2 Veré con gozo sin igual Jerusalén la celestial, Ya dentro de sus puertas; Porque el cordero que murió Y con su sangre me compró, Ya me las tiene abiertas. Cruenta cuenta Ha pagado, cuando ajado, Moribundo, Dio la vida por el mundo. 3 No ya con ojos de la fe, Sin velo allí contemplaré El rostro del Dios mío; Del alto rey la majestad, La gloria de su santidad, De cerca ver confío. Tanto cuanto Fue escondido al sentido, Bella, pura, Celestial, alta hermosura. 4 ¡Luz bella, te presiento ya! En ropa blanca alegre está, Y espérate la esposa. Llama: "Jesús, ven pronto, ven." "Pronto vendré", dice Él también, A mi alma fiel, ansiosa. Santo canto, Honra, gloria, loor, victoria Doy muriendo: Mi alma en tu mano encomiendo.

Author: Philipp Nicolai Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Morning Star, so pure, so bright, Shining with grace, and truth, and light, Thou blessèd Root of Jesse!

Lovely, loving, Great 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 O joy! to know my precious Friend Is First, and Last, and without end, Sublime, divine, eternal: He will at length, O glorious grace! Transport me to that happy place, The home of bliss supernal. Amen, Amen. Quickly come, Thou King of Glory; Take me, Saviour, To Thy glorious Self for ever. Amen.

Var Hälsad, Sköna Morgonstund

Author: Johan O. Wallin Appears in 5 hymnals Refrain First Line: 887.887.888 Lyrics: 1 Var hälsad, sköna morgonstund, Som av profeters helga mun Är oss bebådad vorden! Du stora dag, du sälla dag, På vilken himlens välbehag ännu besöker jorden! Unga sjunga Med de gamla; Sig församla Jordens böner Kring den störste av dess söner. 2 Guds väsens avbild och likväl En mänskoson, på det var själ Må glad till honom lända, Han kommer, följd av frid och hopp, De villade att söka opp, Och hjälpa de elända, Värma, närma Till varandra, Dem, som vandra Kärlesksösa Och ur usla brunnar ösa. 3 Han tärar fälla skall som vi, Förstå vår nöd och stå oss bi Med kraften av sin Anda, Förkunna oss sin Faders råd Och sötman av en evig nåd I sorgekalken blanda; Strida, lida, Dödens smärta, Att vårt hjärta Frid må vinna Och en öppnad himmel finna. 4 Han kommer, till vår frälsning sänd, Och nådens sol, av honom tänd, Skall sig ej mera dölja. Han själv vå herde vara vill, Att vi må honom höra till Och honom efterfölja, Nöjda, höjda Över tiden, Och i friden, Av hans rike En gång varda honom like. Used With Tune: WIE SCHÖN LEUCHTET
