How Bright Appears the Morning Star

Author: Philipp Nicolai; John Christian Jacobi; William Mercer Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7.2.2.4.4.4.8 Appears in 30 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 22:13-20 Lyrics: 1 How bright appears the Morning Star with mercy beaming from afar; the host of heav'n rejoices; O righteous Branch, O Jesse’s Rod, O Son of man, and Son of God, we too will lift our voices. Jesus, Jesus, holy, holy, yet most lowly, now draw near us; great Emmanuel, kindly hear us. 2 Though circled by the hosts on high, he deigned to cast a loving eye upon his helpless creature; the whole creation’s Head and Lord, by highest seraphim adored, assumed our very nature. Jesus, grant us through your merit, to inherit your salvation; hear, O hear our supplication. 3 Rejoice, O heav'ns, and earth reply; with praise, you sinners, fill the sky for this, his incarnation. Incarnate God, put forth your pow'r; ride on, ride on, great Conqueror, till all know your salvation. Amen, amen! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Praise be given evermore by earth and heaven.

The nations see and hail afar The light in Judah shining. Thou David's Son of Jacob's race, My Bridegroom and my King of Grace, For thee my heart is pining. Lowly, Holy, Great and glorious, Thou victorious Prince of graces, Filling all the heav'nly places. 2 Now richly to my waiting heart, O thou, my God, deign to impart The grace of love undying. In thy blest body let me be, E'en as the branch is in the tree, Thy life my life supplying. Sighing, crying, For the savor Of thy favor; Resting never Till I rest in thee for ever. 3 Thou, mighty Father, in thy Son Didst love me ere thou hadst begun This ancient world's foundation. Thy Son hath made a friend of me, And when in spirit him I see, I joy in tribulation. What bliss is this! He that liveth To me giveth Life for ever; Nothing me from him can sever. Amen.

This shall he do, and can we still despair? come, let us quickly fling ourselves before him, cast at his feet the burden of our care. 4 Yea through life, death, through sorrow and through sinning, he shall suffice me, for he hath sufficed: Christ is the end, for Christ was the beginning, Christ the beginning, for the end is Christ.

How shall I sing that majesty

Author: John Mason (c. 1645-1694) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 40 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 22:5 Lyrics: 1 How shall I sing that majesty which angels do admire? Let dust in dust and silence lie; sing, sing, ye heavenly choir. Thousands of thousands stand around thy throne, O God most high; ten thousand times ten thousand sound thy praise; but who am I? 2 Thy brightness unto them appears, whilst I thy footsteps trace; a sound of God comes to my ears, but they behold thy face. They sing, because thou art their Sun; Lord, send a beam on me; for where heaven is but once begun there alleluias be. 3 Enlighten with faith's light my heart, inflame it with love's fire; then shall I sing and bear a part with that celestial choir. I shall, I fear, be dark and cold, with all my fire and light; yet when thou dost accept their gold, Lord, treasure up my mite. 4 How great a being, Lord, is thine, which doth all beings keep! Thy knowledge is the only line to sound so vast a deep. Thou art a sea without a shore, a sun without a sphere; thy time is now and evermore, thy place is everywhere.
