Brightest and Best
Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826 Hymnal: Lead Me, Guide Me (2nd ed.) #272 (2012) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Scripture: Isaiah 9:2 First Line: Brightest and best of the stars of the morning Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the stars of the morning,
Dawn on our darkness and lend us your aid,
Star of the east, the horizon adorning,
Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
2 Say, shall we yield him in costly devotion,
Odors of Edom and off'rings divine,
Gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean,
Myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine?
3 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.
4 Cold on his cradle the dew-drops are shining,
Low lies his head with the beasts of the stall;
Angels adore him in slumber reclining,
Maker and Monarch and Savior of all.

It Came Upon the Midnight Clear
Author: Edmund Hamilton Sears Hymnal: Glory to God #123 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Scripture: Isaiah 9:6 Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear,
that glorious song of old,
from angels bending near the earth,
to touch their harps of gold:
“Peace on the earth, good will to all,
from heaven’s all-gracious King”:
the world in solemn stillness lay,
to hear the angels sing.
2 Still through the cloven skies they come,
with peaceful wings unfurled,
and still their heavenly music floats
o’er all the weary world:
above its sad and lowly plains
they bend on hovering wing,
and ever o’er its Babel sounds
the blessed angels sing.
3 Yet with the woes of sin and strife
the world has suffered long;
beneath the heavenly hymn have rolled
two thousand years of wrong;
and we at war on earth hear not
the tidings that they bring;
O, hush the noise and cease the strife
to hear the angels sing!
4 And you, beneath life’s crushing load,
whose forms are bending low,
who toil along the climbing way
with painful steps and slow,
look now, for glad and golden hours
come swiftly on the wing:
O, rest beside the weary road,
and hear the angels sing.
5 For lo, the days are hastening on,
by prophets seen of old,
when with the ever-circling years
shall come the time foretold,
when peace shall over all the earth
its ancient splendors fling,
and the whole world give back the song
which now the angels sing.
