Christians, Awake, Salute the Happy Morn

Hymnal: RHC #166 (1970) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Christians, awake, salute the happy morn, Whereon the Saviour of mankind was born; Rise to adore the mystery of love Which hosts of angels chanted from above; With them the joyful tidings first begun Of God incarnate and the Virgin's Son. 2 Then to the watchful shepherds it was told, Who heard the angelic herald's voice: "Behold, I bring good tidings of a Saviour's birth To you and all the nations upon earth: This day hath God fulfilled His promised word, This day is born a Saviour, Christ the Lord." 3 He spake; and straightway the celestial choir In hymns of joy, unknown before, conspire: The praises of redeeming love they sang, And heav'n's whole orb with hallelujahs rang: God's highest glory was their anthem still, Peace upon earth, and unto men goodwill.

Brightest and Best of the Sons of the Morning

Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826 Hymnal: RHC #169 (1970) Meter: 11.10.11.10 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 Savior of all. 3 Say, shall we yield him, in costly devotion, Odors of Edom, and offerings divine, Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine? 4 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. 5 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! Amen. Topics: Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: MORNING STAR

How Firm a Foundation, Ye Saints
