Beaming Bright

Author: Irvin H. Mack Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: The sun’s asleep ’neath western hills Refrain First Line: Beaming bright, comes the light Lyrics: 1 The sun’s asleep ’neath western hills, And darkened fingers of the night Are cast upon the plains and rills, And hide all nature from the light. Refrain: Beaming bright, comes the light Of the happy Christmas morn, Angels’ strains o’er the plains Tell that Christ is born. Beaming bright, comes the light Of the happy Christmas morn, Angels’ strains o’er the plains Tell that Christ is born. 2 O sweetest carol ever sung, We’d love to hear the angels sing; O Child who art from heaven come, Our off’rings now to thee we bring. [Refrain] 4 O Thou who dwell’st upon the throne, In lofty state, by angels blest; Look down upon us as we roam, Within a world, by sin opprest.

The Star And The Angels

Author: Irvin H. Mack Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Bethlehem star, beautiful star Lyrics: 1 Bethlehem star, beautiful star, Shining with guiding ray, Shedding a light, heavenly light, Pointing to Christ the way; Angels so bright, winging their flight Over the silent hill, Carol a song into the morn, Peace unto earth, good will. Refrain: Glowing, glowing, Star of radiant beauty, Streaming, beaming, O’er the newborn King; Angels sang by night, Tidings of peace, Telling unto earth; Joyful the news they bring. 2 Over the earth, slumbering deep, Angels are hov’ring near, Telling of Him coming to reign, Blessèd are they who hear. Nations, arise! Honor your king! Share in the joys today! Jesus the mild, comes as a child, Showing the heav’nly way. [Refrain] 3 Arches of Heav’n, streaming with light, Honor the King who came; Glories on high, filling the sky, Praise the Redeemer’s name. Wonderful love, wonderful love, Sent from the throne on high, Gave to the earth peace and good will, Bringing salvation nigh. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Bethlehem star, beautiful star] Text Sources: The Voice of Praise (Philadelphia: Hall-Mack, 1904)
