O Thou, Who gav'st Thy servant grace

Author: R. Heber Hymnal: CHRC1920 #61 (1920) Lyrics: 1 O Thou, Who gav'st Thy servant grace On Thee the living Rock to rest, To look on Thine unveiled face, And lean on Thy protecting breast; 2 Grant us, O King of mercy, still To feel Thy presence from above, And in Thy word and in Thy will To hear Thy voice and know Thy love; 3 And when the toils of life are done, And nature waits Thy just decree, To find our rest beneath Thy throne, And look in certain hope to Thee. 4 To Thee, O Jesus, Light of Light, Whom as their King the saints adore, Thou strength and refuge in the fight, Be laud and glory evermore.

Glory to Thee, O Lord

Author: E. Toke Hymnal: CHRC1920 #62 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Glory to Thee, O Lord, Who, from this world of sin By cruel Herod's ruthless sword Those precious ones did win. 2 Baptized in their own blood, Earth's untried perils o'er, They passed unconsciously the flood, And safely gained the shore. 3 Glory to Thee for all The ransomed infant band, Who since that hour have heard Thy call, And reached the quiet land. 4 O that our hearts within, Like theirs, were pure and bright; O that as free from deeds of sin We shrank not from Thy sight. 5 Lord, help us every hour Thy cleansing grace to claim; In life to glorify Thy power, In death to praise Thy Name.

The ancient law departs

Author: Bernault Hymnal: CHRC1920 #63 (1920) Lyrics: 1 The ancient law departs And all its terrors cease; For Jesus makes with faithful hearts A covenant of peace. 2 The Light of Light divine, True Brightness undefiled, He bears for us the shame of sin, A holy, spotless Child. 3 To-day the Name is Thine, At which we bend the knee; They called Thee Jesus, Child divine! Our Jesus deign to be. Topics: The Christian Year Circumcision Languages: English Tune Title: ST. MICHAEL

Jesus! Name of wondrous love!

Author: W. W. How Hymnal: CHRC1920 #64 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Jesus! Name of wondrous love! Name all other names above! Unto which must every knee Bow in deep humility. 2 Jesus! Name decreed of old: To the maiden mother told, Kneeling in her lowly cell, By the angel Gabriel. 3 Jesus! Name of priceless worth To the fallen sons of earth, For the promise that it gave, "Jesus shall His people save." 4 Jesus! Name of mercy mild, Given to the holy Child, When the cup of human woe First He tasted here below. 5 Jesus! only Name that's given Under all the mighty heaven, Whereby man, to sin enslaved, Bursts his fetters, and is saved. 6 Jesus! Name of wondrous love! Human Name of God above; Pleading only this we flee, Helpless, O our God, to Thee. Topics: The Christian Year Circumcision Languages: English Tune Title: ST. BEES

Songs of thankfulness and praise

Author: C. Wordsworth Hymnal: CHRC1920 #65 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Songs of thankfulness and praise, Jesus, Lord, to Thee we raise, Manifested by the star To the sages from afar; Branch of royal David's stem In Thy birth at Bethlehem; Anthems be to Thee addressed, God in Man made manifest. 2 Manifest at Jordan's stream, Prophet, Priest, and King supreme; And at Cana, wedding-guest, In Thy Godhead manifest; Manifest in power divine, Changing water into wine; Anthem be to Thee addressed, God in Man made manifest. 3 Manifest in making whole Palsied limbs and fainting soul; Manifest in valiant fight Quelling all the devil's might; Manifest in gracious will, Ever bringing good from ill; Anthems be to Thee addressed, God in Man made manifest. 4 Sun and moon shall darkened be, Stars shall fall, the heavens shall flee; Christ will then like lightning shine, All will see His glorious sign: All will then the trumpet hear; All will see the Judge appear; Thou by all wilt be confessed, God in Man made manifest. 5 Grant us grace to see Thee, Lord, Mirrored in Thy holy Word; May we imitate Thee now, And be pure, as pure art Thou; That we like to Thee may be At Thy great Epiphany; And may praise Thee, ever blest, God in Man made manifest.

Light of life that shineth

Author: C. Thring Hymnal: CHRC1920 #66 (1920) First Line: From the Eastern mountains Lyrics: 1 From the Eastern mountains, Pressing on they come, Wise men in their wisdom To His humble home; Stirr'd by deep devotion, Hasting from afar, Ever journeying onward, Guided by a star. Refrain: Light of light that shineth Ere the worlds began, Draw Thou near, and lighten Ev'ry heart of man. 2 There their Lord and Saviour Meek and lowly lay, Wondrous Light that led them Onward on their way, Ever now to lighten Nations from afar, As they journey homeward By that guiding Star. [Refrain] 3 Thou Who in a manger Once hast lowly lain, Who dost now in glory O'er all kingdoms reign, Gather in the heathen, Who in lands afar Ne'er have seen the brightness Of Thy guiding Star. [Refrain] 4 Gather in the outcasts, All who've gone astray, Throw Thy radiance o'er them, Guide them on their way, Those who never knew Thee, Those who've wandered far, Lead them by the brightness Of Thy guiding Star. [Refrain] 5 Onward through the darkness Of the lonely night, Shining still before them With Thy kindly light, Guide them, Jew and Gentile, Homeward from afar, Young and old together, By Thy guiding Star: [Refrain] 6 Until every nation, Whether bond or free, 'Neath Thy starlit banner, Jesus, follows Thee O'er the distant mountains To that heavenly home, Where no sin nor sorrow Evermore shall come.

Earth has many a noble city

Author: E. Caswall; A. C. Prudentius Hymnal: CHRC1920 #67 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Earth has many a noble city; Bethlehem, thou dost all excel: Out of thee the Lord of heaven Came to rule His Israel. 2 Fairer than the sun at morning Was the Star that told His birth, To the world its God announcing Seen in fleshly form on earth. 3 Eastern sages at His cradle Make oblations rich and rare; See them give, in deep devotion, Gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. 4 Sacred gifts of mystic meaning; Incense doth their God disclose, Gold the King of kings proclaimeth, Myrrh His sepulchre foreshows. 5 Jesus, Whom the Gentiles worshipped At Thy glad Epiphany, Unto Thee, with God the Father And the Spirit, glory be.

How beauteous were the marks divine

Author: A. C. Coxe Hymnal: CHRC1920 #68 (1920) Lyrics: 1 How beauteous were the marks divine That in Thy meekness used to shine That lit Thy lonely pathway, trod In wondrous love, O Son of God. 2 O who like Thee, so calm, so bright, Thou Son of man, Thou Light of Light; O who like Thee did ever go So patient through a world of woe? 3 O who like Thee so humbly bore The scorn, the scoffs of men before? So meek, forgiving, Godlike, high, So glorious in humility! 4 And all Thy life's unchanging years, A man of sorrows and of tears, The cross, where all our sins were laid, Upon Thy bending shoulders weighed. 5 And death, that sets the prisoner free, Was pang and scoff and scorn to Thee; Yet love through all Thy torture glowed, And mercy with Thy life-blood flowed. 5 O in Thy light be mine to go, Illuming all this way of woe; And give me ever on the road To trace Thy footsteps, Son of God!

As with gladness men of old

Author: W. C. Dix Hymnal: CHRC1920 #69 (1920) Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old Did the guiding star behold; As with joy they hail'd its light, Leading onward, beaming bright; So, most gracious Lord, may we Evermore be led to Thee. 2 As with joyful steps they sped To that lowly manger-bed; There to bend the knee before Him Whom heaven and earth adore; So may we with willing feet Ever seek the mercy-seat. 3 As they offered gifts most rare At that 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 heavenly 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. 5 In the heavenly country bright, Need they no created light; Thou its Light, its Joy, its Crown, Thou its Sun which goes not down, There for ever may we sing Alleluias to our King.

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning

Author: R. Heber Hymnal: CHRC1920 #70 (1920) 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 dew-drops 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 Shall we not 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 favour 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, and horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
