Eternal Source, Whence All Did Spring
Author: John Töltschig Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12 Lyrics: 1 Eternal Source, whence all did spring,
almighty and all-glorious King,
the whole creation's Head and Lord,
by all in heav'n and earth adored;
Lord, whom high heav'n cannot contain,
you as a lovely infant came,
and left your throne in heav'n above,
O myst'ry deep, O boundless love.
2 What off'ring shall I bring to you,
Immanuel, my Savior true,
who did agree a man to be
and by your blood set sinners free?
Lord, angels sang, proclaimed your birth:
"Goodwill to all, and peace on earth!"
The sages gave you gifts most rare;
their finest treasure was your share.
3 This will I do, O Child Divine,
I'll give you all I hold as mind;
my soul, my body, Lord, are yours,
and all the gifts your love out-pours.
My humble off'rings now receive,
and through your grace, Lord, let me live
in faithfulness through all my days,
and join in heaven's ceaseless praise. Topics: Christmas; Christian year--Christmas; Christian year--Epiphany; Service music--Offering responses Used With Tune: PILGRIMAGE

Author: Charles Coffin; John Chandler Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 91 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12 Lyrics: 1 What star is this, with beams so bright,
More lovely than the noonday light?

Glad tidings of our God to bring.

“From Jacob shall a star proceed”;
And lo! the Eastern sages stand
To read in heaven the Lord’s command.

Impels us on to seek Your face,
Let not our slothful hearts refuse
The guidance of Your light to use.

And Holy Spirit, Three in One,
May every tongue and nation raise
An endless song of thankful praise.

O King of Glory, David's son!
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12 Lyrics: 1 O King of Glory, David's son!
Why has't thou come and left thy throne,.
The curse and cross of man to bear
Brought thee! O Prince of Glory here.
2 Thy place of birth was Bethlehem,
The place was held in low esteem;
A place where none, a king would seek:
None but the humble and the meek.
3 But yet thy glory was made known.
And to the distant nations shown;
A strange a glorious shining star
Brought those who sought thee from a far.
4 The nations who desir'd to see
Thy face, are come to worship thee;
Tho they are heathens, yet they bring
Rich off'rings unto thee their king.
5 But greater treasures than they brought
Such they in thee their saviour sought:
Thy love to know, thy grace to gain
Rewards them fully for their pain.
6 O happy where it is the case!
That sinners seek for saving grace;
Such treasures they with thee shall find
Which proves their joy and peace of mind.
7 Tho' mighty kings and haughty foes
The progress of thy word oppose:
Thy Light shall shine from sea to shore,
Thy sun shall rise and set no more.
8 Thy kingdom and its righteousness
Affords eternal life and peace;
My offering, I to thee will bring,
Grant me thy treasures, O my king! Topics: The Epiphany
O King of Glory, David's son!
When, marshaled on the nightly plain
Author: Kirke White Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 482 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 2:9 Lyrics: 1 When, marshaled on the nightly plain,
The glittering hosts bestud the sky,
One star alone, of all the train,
Can fix the sinner's wandering eye.
2 Hark! hark! to God the chorus breaks,
From every host, from every gem;
But one alone the Saviour speaks,--
It is the Star of Bethlehem.
3 Once on the raging seas I rode,
The storm was loud, the night was dark--
The ocean yawned--and rudely blowed
The wind, that tossed my foundering bark.
4 Deep horror then my vitals froze,
Death-struck, I ceased the tide to stem;--
When suddenly a star arose,--
It was the Star of Bethlehem.
5 It was my guide, my light, my all;
It bad my dark forebodings cease;
And, through the storm, and danger's thrall,
It led me to the port of peace.
6 Now safely moored, my perils o'er,
I'll sing, first in night's diadem,
Forever and for evermore,
The Star--the Star of Bethlehem!
Topics: Christ Incarnation; The Star of Bethlehem

Author: John M. Neale; Coelius Sedulius Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 2:9 Lyrics: 1 The star proclaims the King is here;
But, Herod, why this senseless fear?
He takes no realms of earth away
Who gives the realms of heav'nly day.
2 The wiser Magi see from far
And follow on His guiding star;
And, led by light, to light they press
And by their gifts their God confess.
3 Within the Jordan's crystal flood
In meekness stands the Lamb of God
And, sinless, sanctifies the wave,
Mankind from sin to cleanse and save.
4 At Cana first His power is shown;
His might the blushing waters own
And, changing as He speaks the word,
Flow wine, obedient to their Lord.
5 All glory, Jesus, be to Thee
For this Thy glad epiphany;
Whom with the Father we adore
And Holy Ghost forevermore.

by light their way to Light they trod,
and by their gifts confessed their God.
3 Within the Jordan’s sacred flood
the heavenly Lamb in meekness stood,
that he, to whom no sin was known,
might cleanse his people from their own.

when water reddened into wine!

in streams that nature ne’er bestowed.
