Creator of the Stars of Night
Author: John Mason Neale, 1818-66 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 93 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 1:13-17 Lyrics: 1 Creator of the stars of night,
Thy people's everlasting Light:
O Christ, Redeemer, save us all
And hear Thy servants when they call.
2 Thou, grieving that the ancient curse
Should doom to death a universe,
Hast found the healing, full of grace,
To cure and save our ruined race.
3 Thou cam'st the Bridegroom of the bride,
As drew the world to eventide,
The spotless Victim all divine
Proceeding from a virgin shrine.
4 At whose dread name, majestic now,
All knees must bend, all hearts must bow;
All things celestial Thee shall own,
And things terrestrial, Lord alone. A-men.
5 O Thou, whose coming is with dread
To judge the living and the dead,
Preserve us from the ancient foe
While still we dwell on earth below.
6 To God the Father and the Son
And Holy Spirit, Three in One,
Praise, honor, might, and glory be
From age to age eternally.
Amen. Topics: End Times Used With Tune: CONDITOR ALME SIDERUM Text Sources: Latin, 5th-10th cent.

Ye Choirs of New Jerusalem

your sweetest notes employ,
the paschal victory to hymn
in strains of holy joy.

crushing the serpent's head;
and cries aloud through death's domains
to wake the imprisoned dead.

at his command restore;
his ransomed hosts pursue their way
where Jesus goes before.
4 Triumphant in his glory now
to him all power is given;
to him in one communion bow
all saints in earth and heaven.
5 All glory to the Father be,
all glory to the Son,
all glory, Holy Ghost to thee,
while endless ages run. Topics: Easter (season) Used With Tune: ST. FULBERT

Break Forth, O Beauteous Heavenly Light
Author: Johann Rist; John Troutbeck (1833-1889); Fred Pratt Green (1903-) Meter: Irregular Appears in 58 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 1:11-20 Lyrics: 1 Break forth, O beauteous heavenly light,
and usher in the morning;
O shepherds, shrink not with affright,
but hear the angel's warning.
This child, this little helpless boy,
shall be our confidence and joy,
the power of Satan breaking,
our peace eternal making.
2 This night of wonder, night of joy,
was born the Christ, our brother;
he comes, not mighty to destroy,
to bid us love each other.
How could he quit his kingly state
for such a world of greed and hate?
What deep humiliation
secured the world's salvation!
3 Come, dearest child, into our hearts,
and leave your crib behind you!
Let this be where the new life starts
for all who seek and find you.
To you be honour, thanks and praise,
for all your gifts this time of grace;
come, conquer and deliver
this world, and us, forever. Topics: Christmas; Epiphany Used With Tune: ERMUNTRE DICH
