Now Israel's Hope in Triumph Ends

Author: S. J. Hedborn Hymnal: HOoS1937 #61 (1937) Lyrics: 1 Now Israel's hope in triumph ends, With angels' glorious song ascends A star of heavenly splendor. O'er Bethlehem it shineth bright, And people, guided by its light, Shall come and homage render. Great Light, Bright Light, Now descendeth, Darkness endeth, Day beginneth, Light to all the world it bringeth. 2 Among us dwells in truth and grace The hidden God, who loves our race; He brought us all salvation. The glory of the Son we see, The only Son's true majesty, And bow in adoration. Draw near, And hear, Every nation, Now salvation God bestoweth, And His love and mercy showeth. 3 Rejoice, my soul, and bless His Name Who to the lost and fallen came To open heaven's portals. Rejoice that God will mercy show, The broken covenant renew With us poor sinful mortals. Now be Glory Ever given God in heaven; Peace unending Be on earth from heaven descending. Amen.

Brightest and Best of the Sons of the Morning

Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: HOoS1937 #62 (1937) Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the sons 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. 2 Cold on His cradle the dewdrops are shining; Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall: Angels adore Him in slumber reclining, Maker, and Monarch, and Saviour of all! 3 Say, shall we yield Him, in costly devotion, Odors of Edom, and offerings divine? Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, and gold from the mine? 4 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. 5 Brightest and best of the sons 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. Amen.

O Thou, Who by a Star Didst Guide

Author: John M. Neale; John Mason Neale Hymnal: HOoS1937 #63 (1937) Lyrics: 1 O Thou, who by a star didst guide The wise men on their way, Until it came and stood beside The place where Jesus lay: Although by stars Thou dost not lead Thy servants now below, Thy Holy Spirit, when they need, Will show them how to go. 2 As yet we know Thee but in part, But still we trust Thy Word, That blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see the Lord. O Saviour, give us then Thy grace To make us pure in heart, That we may see Thee face to face, Hereafter as Thou art. Amen.

Hail, Thou Source of Every Blessing

Author: Basil Woodd Hymnal: HOoS1937 #64 (1937) First Line: Hail, Thou Source of ev'ry blessing Lyrics: 1 Hail, Thou Source of ev'ry blessing, Sov'reign Father of mankind! Gentiles now, Thy grace possessing, In Thy courts admission find. Grateful now, we fall before Thee, In Thy Church obtain a place; Now by faith behold Thy glory, Praise thy truth, adore Thy grace. 2 Once far off, but now invited, We approach Thy sacred throne; In Thy covenant united, Reconciled, redeemed, made one. Now revealed to eastern sages, See the star of mercy shine; Mystery hid in former ages, Mystery great of love divine. 3 Hail, Thou all-inviting Saviour! Gentiles now their offerings bring; In Thy temple seek Thy favor, Jesus Christ, our Lord and King. May we, body, soul, and spirit, Live devoted to Thy praise, Glorious realms of bliss inherit, Grateful anthems ever raise. Amen.

Light of the Gentile Nations

Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878; Johann Franck Hymnal: HOoS1937 #65 (1937) Lyrics: 1 Light of the Gentile nations, Thy people’s joy and love, Drawn by Thy Spirit hither, We gladly come to prove Thy presence in Thy temple, And wait with earnest mind, As Simeon once had waited His Saviour God to find. 2 O Lord, Thy servants meet Thee, E’en now, in every place, Where Thy true Word hath promised, That they should see Thy face. Thou yet wilt gently grant us, Who gather round Thee here, In faith’s strong arms to bear Thee As once that aged seer. 3 Be Thou our joy, our brightness, That shines ’mid pain and loss, Our sun in times of terror, The glory round our cross: A glow in sinking spirits, A sunbeam in distress, Physician, friend in sickness, In death our happiness. 4 Let us, O Lord, be faithful With Simeon to the end, That so his dying song may From all our hearts ascend: "O Lord, now let Thy servant Depart in peace for aye, Since I have seen my Saviour, Have here beheld His day." 5 My Saviour, I behold Thee Now with the eye of faith; No foe of Thee can rob me, Though bitter words he saith; Within Thy heart abiding, As Thou dost dwell in me, No pain, no death has terrors To part my soul from Thee. Amen.

O Thou, Whose Infant Feet Were Found

Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: HOoS1937 #66 (1937) Lyrics: 1 O Thou, whose infant feet were found Within Thy Father's shrine, Whose years, with changeless virtue crowned, Were all alike divine. 2 Dependent on Thy bounteous breath, We seek Thy grace alone, In childhood, manhood, age, and death, To keep us still Thine own. Amen.

O Christ, Our True and Only Light

Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878; Johann Heermann Hymnal: HOoS1937 #67 (1937) Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our true and only Light, Illumine those who sit in night; Let those afar now hear Thy voice, And in Thy fold with us rejoice. 2 Fill with the radiance of Thy grace The souls now lost in error's maze, And all, O Lord, whose secret minds, Some dark delusion hurts and blinds. 3 And all who else have strayed from Thee, O gently seek! Thy healing be To every wounded conscience given, And let them also share Thy heaven. 4 O make the deaf to hear Thy Word, And teach the dumb to speak, dear Lord, Who dare not yet the faith avow, Though secretly they hold it now. 5 Shine on the darkened and the cold, Recall the wanderers to Thy fold, Unite all those who walk apart, Confirm the weak and doubting heart, 6 So they with us may evermore Such grace with wondering thanks adore, And endless praise to Thee be given By all Thy Church in earth and heaven. Amen.

Rise, O Salem, Rise and Shine

Author: Johann von Rist Hymnal: HOoS1937 #68 (1937) Lyrics: 1 Rise, O Salem, rise and shine; Lo, the Gentiles hail thy waking: Herald of a morn divine, See the Dayspring o’er us breaking, Telling God hath called to mind Those who long in darkness pined. 2 O how blindly did we stray, Ere this Sun our earth had brightened; Heaven we sought not, for no ray Had our wildered eyes enlightened: All our looks were earthward bent, All our strength on earth was spent. 3 But the Dayspring from on high Hath arisen with beams unclouded, And we see before Him fly All the heavy gloom that shrouded This sad earth, where sin and woe Seemed to reign o’er all below. 4 Thine appearing, Lord, shall fill All my thoughts in sorrow’s hour; Thine appearing, Lord, shall still All my dread of death’s dark power; Whether joys or tears be mine, Through them still Thy light shall shine. 5 Let me, when my course is run, Calmly leave a world of sadness For the place that needs no sun,-- For Thou art its light and gladness,-- For the mansions fair and bright, Where Thy saints are crowned with light. Amen.

Desire of Every Nation

Author: Anna Hoppe Hymnal: HOoS1937 #69 (1937) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D First Line: Desire of ev'ry nation Lyrics: 1 Desire of ev'ry nation, Light of the Gentiles, Thou! In fervent adoration Before Thy throne we bow; Our hearts and tongues adore Thee, Blest Dayspring from the skies. Like incense sweet before Thee, Permit our songs to rise. 2 Thou Herald of the morning, They who in darkness dwell Behold Thy brightness dawning O’er realms of Israel. With glorious beams unclouded, Thy all-transcendent light Dispels the gloom that shrouded Earth’s dark and dismal night. 3 Arise and shine in splendor, Thou bright and morning Star! The Gentiles come to render Their gifts from realms afar. The word by prophets spoken In truth is now fulfilled, And yearning hearts, once broken, With sweetest hope are filled. 4 Arise and bring salvation To all who dwell below, Let earth in jubilation Reflect Thy radiant glow. O long expected Saviour, Thou Hope of Israel, Let Gentiles gain Thy favor, And of Thy glory tell. 5 Our Life and Resurrection, Lord Jesus Christ, Thou art; O shed Thy light’s reflection To earth’s remotest part; Let Gentile tongues confess Thee, Rejoicing in Thy light, The ransomed thousands bless Thee, Thou hast dispelled the night.

Arise, O God, and Shine

Author: William Hurn Hymnal: HOoS1937 #70 (1937) Lyrics: 1 Arise, O God, and shine In all Thy saving might, And prosper each design To spread Thy glorious light: Let healing streams of mercy flow, That all the earth Thy truth may know, That all the earth Thy truth may know. 2 Bring distant nations near To sing Thy glorious praise; Let ev'ry people hear And learn Thy holy ways: Reign, mighty God, assert Thy cause, And govern by Thy righteous laws, And govern by Thy righteous laws. 3 Send forth Thy glorious power, That Gentiles all may see, And earth present her store In converts born to Thee: God, our own God, His Church will bless, And fill the world with righteousness, And fill the world with righteousness. 4 To God, the only wise, The one immortal King, Let hallelujahs rise From every living thing: Let all that breathe, on every coast, Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.
