For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!

Fall on your knees! O hear the angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born.
O night divine! O night, O night divine!
2 Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,
Here came the wise men from Orient land.
The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger,
In all our trials born to be our friend;
[Refrain]
3 Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is love and His gospel is peace.

And in His name all oppression shall cease.

Let all within us praise His holy name! [Refrain] Topics: Jesus Christ Advent and Nativity; Christmas; Jesus Advent and Nativity Used With Tune: O HOLY NIGHT

We Would See Jesus; Lo! His Star is Shining
Author: J. Edgar Park Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 69 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 2:10 Lyrics: 1 We would see Jesus; lo! his star is shining,
above the stable while the angels sing;
in manger humble on the hay reclining,
haste, let us lay our gifts before the King.
2 We would see Jesus; Mary's son most holy,
Light of the village life from day to day;
shines revealed through ev'ry task most lowly,
the Christ of God, the Life, the Truth, the Way.
3 We would see Jesus; on the mountain teaching,
with all the list'ning people gathered round;
while birds and flow'rs and sky above are preaching
the blessedness which simple trust has found.
4 We would see Jesus; in his work of healing,
that joyful evening when the sun was set;
divine and human, in his deep revealing
of God made flesh, in loving service meet.
5 We would see Jesus; in the early morning,
still, as of old he calleth, "Follow me";
let us arise, all meaner service scorning;
Lord, we are thine; we give ourselves to thee.

Brightest and Best of the Stars of the Morning
Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826 Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 911 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 2:1-11 Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the stars 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,
Fragrance of Edom and off'rings 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 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 stars 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.

Angeles ven en aquel tierno niño
al que dispone de todo poder.

mirra, ni incienso, nioro precioso

dones no pueden su gracia alcanzar.
Muévenle, cuantos elevan fervientes
preces sinceras que puede aceptar.

I love thee, Lord Jesus; look down from the sky,
and stay by my side until morning is nigh.
3 Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask thee to stay
close by me forever and love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care,
and fit us for heaven to live with thee there.

en lecho de pajas incógnito está
quien quiso a los astros su gloria prestar.
3 Hermoso lucero le vino a anunciar,
y magos de Oriente buscándole van;
delante se postran del Rey de Judá,
de incienso, oro y mirra tributo le dan.

que Dios, niño y pobre, nos recibirá.
Los brazos nos tiende con grato ademán:
"Venid," nos repite su voz celestial. Topics: Navidad; Navidad Used With Tune: MUELLER
