Jesus! great and wondrous Star

Hymnal: ELH1880 #52 (1880) 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 Languages: English

Why, Herod, unrelenting foe!

Hymnal: ELH1880 #53 (1880) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Why, Herod, unrelenting foe! Doth Christ the Lord’s birth move thee so? He doth no earthly kingdom crave, Who unto us heaven's kingdom gave. 2 The star before the wise men goes, This light to them the true Light shows; They, by the three gifts which they bring, Declare this Child: God, Man, and King. 3 He was baptized in Jordan's flood, The holy, heavenly Lamb of God, And He, who did no sin, thereby Cleansed us from all iniquity! 4 And now a miracle is done: Six water pots are there of stone, Christ speaks the Word with power divine, The water changes into wine. 5 All honor, praise to Thee be paid, O Christ, born of the virgin maid, With Father and with Holy Ghost, Till time in endless time be lost.

O Jesus, King of glory!

Hymnal: ELH1880 #54 (1880) Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, King of glory! Both David’s God and Son! Thy realm endures forever, In heaven is fixed Thy throne: Help, that in earth’s dominions Throughout, from pole to pole, Thy realm may spread salvation To each benighted soul. 2 The Eastern sages, bringing Their tribute-gifts to Thee, Bear witness to Thy kingdom And humbly bow the knee. The Eastern star points to Thee, As doth the inspired Word, Hence joyously we hail Thee: Our blest Redeemer, Lord! 3 Thou art a mighty Monarch, As by the Word we're told, Yet carest Thou but little For earthly goods or gold; On no proud steed Thou ridest, Thou wear’st no jeweled crown Nor dwell’st in lordly castle, But bearest scoff and frown. 4 Yet art Thou decked with beauty, With rays of glorious light; Thou ever teem'st with goodness, And all Thy ways are right. Vouchsafe to shield Thy people With Thy almighty arm, That they may dwell in safety From those who mean but harm. 5 Ah, look on me with pity Though I am weak and poor, Admit me to Thy kingdom, To dwell there, blest and sure. Vouchsafe to keep and guide me Safe from all evil foes, From sin, and death, and Satan; Free me from all my woes. 6 And bid Thy Word within me Shine as the fairest star; Keep sin and all false doctrine From all Thy people far; Help us confess Thee truly, And with Thy Christendom, Here own Thee King and Savior And in the world to come.

Light of the Gentile nations

Hymnal: ELH1880 #55 (1880) 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 Savior God to find. 2 Yes, Lord, Thy servants meet Thee, E'en now, in ev'ry place, Where Thy true Word has 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, So that his dying song may From all our hearts ascend: "O Lord, now let Thy servant Depart in peace, I pray, Since I have seen my Savior, And have beheld His day." 5 My Savior, 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!

As with gladness men of old

Hymnal: ELH1880 #56 (1880) Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old Did the guiding star behold; As with joy they hailed its light, Leading onward, beaming bright: So, most gracious God, may we Evermore be led by Thee. 2 As with joyful steps they sped To that lonely manger-bed, There to bend the knee before Him whom heav'n and earth adore; So may we, with willing feet, Ever seek Thy mercy-seat. 3 As they offered gifts most rare At thy manger rude and bare! So may we, with holy joy, Pure and free from sin’s alloy, All our costliest treasures bring, Christ! to Thee, our heav'nly King. 4 Holy Jesus! every day Keep us in the narrow way; And, when earthly things are past, Bring our ransomed souls at last Where they need no star to guide, Where no clouds Thy glory hide.

In His temple now behold Him

Hymnal: ELH1880 #57 (1880) Lyrics: 1 In His temple now behold Him, See the long-expected Lord; Ancient prophets had foretold Him, God has now fulfilled His Word; Now to praise Him, His redeemed Shall break forth with one accord. 2 In the arms of her who bore Him, Virgin pure, behold Him lie, While His aged saints adore Him, Ere in perfect faith they die: Halleluiah! Halleluiah! Lo! th'Incarnate God most high. 3 Jesus, by Thy presentation, Thou who cam'st in lowly mien, Make us see our great salvation, Make our hearts all pure within; O present us in Thy glory To Thy Father, pure and clean.

Angels! from the realms of glory

Hymnal: ELH1880 #59 (1880) Lyrics: 1 Angels! from the realms of glory, Wing your flight o'er all the earth; Ye, who sang creation's story, Now proclaim Messiah's birth: Come and worship-- Worship Christ, the new-born King. 2 Shepherds! in the fields abiding, Watching o'er your flocks by night; God with us is now residing, Yonder shines the heav'nly light: Come and worship-- Worship Christ, the new-born King. 3 Sages! leave your contemplations; Brighter visions beam afar; Seek the great Desire of nations, Ye have seen His natal star: Come and worship-- Worship Christ, the new-born King. 4 Saints! before the altar bending, Watching long in hope and fear, Suddenly the Lord, descending, In His temple shall appear: Come and worship-- Worship Christ, the new-born King.

Ye saints, proclaim abroad

Hymnal: ELH1880 #60 (1880) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Ye saints, proclaim abroad The honors of your King; To Jesus, your incarnate God, Your songs of praises sing. 2 Not angels round the throne Of majesty above, Are half so much obliged as we To our Immanuel's love. 3 They never sunk so low, They are not raised so high; They never knew such depths of woe, Such heights of majesty. 4 The Savior did not join Their nature to His own; For them He shed no blood divine, Nor breathed a single groan. 5 May we with angels vie The Savior to adore; Our debts are greater far than theirs, O be our praises more!

Thee we adore, Eternal Word!

Hymnal: ELH1880 #61 (1880) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Thee we adore, Eternal Word! The Father's equal Son; By heaven's obedient hosts adored, Ere time its course begun. 2 The first creation has displayed Thine energy divine; For not a single thing was made By other hands than Thine. 3 But ransoned sinners, with delight, Sublimer facts survey,-- The all-creating Word unites Himself to dust and clay. 4 Creation's Author now assumes A creature's humble form: A man of grief and woe becomes, And trod on like a worm. 5 The Lord of glory bears the shame To vile transgressors due; Justice the Prince of life condemns To die in anguish too. 6 God over all, for ever blessed, The righteous curse endures; And thus, to souls with sin distressed, Eternal bliss insures. 7 What wonders in Thy person meet, My Savior, all divine! I fall with rapture at Thy feet, And would be wholly Thine. Topics: The Church Year Passion Languages: English
