Creator of the Stars of Night
Creator of the stars of night
Author: John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Appears in 91 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 9:1-2 Lyrics: 1 Creator of the stars of night,
your people’s everlasting light,
O Christ, the Saviour of us all,
we pray, oh hear us when we call.
2 To you the labour pain was known
that made the whole creation groan,
until the time that you would free
your own in glorious liberty.
3 Old was the world that drew toward night;
you came, but not in splendour bright
as monarch, but the humble child
of Mary, faithful mother mild.
4 At your great name, Christ Jesus, now
all knees must bend; all hearts must bow;
all things on earth with one accord
join those in heaven your name shall bless.
5 Come in your holy might, we pray;
redeem us for eternal day,
when all your judgements will be known
and power of darkness overthrown.
6 To God the Father, God the Son
and God the Spirit, Three-in-One,
laud, honour, might and glory be
from age to age eternally.
Amen. Topics: Church Year Advent; Creation; Freedom / Liberation; Hymns with Doxologies; Jesus Christ Name of; Light Used With Tune: CONDITOR ALME SIDERUM Text Sources: Latin, anonymous, 9th century

fair flowers of paradise extend
their fragrance ever sweet.

Jacob’s sons and daughters;
led them with unmoistened foot
through the Red Sea waters.

Christ has burst his prison,
and from three days’ sleep in death
as a sun has risen.
All the winter of our sins,
long and dark, is flying
from the Light, to whom we give
laud and praise undying.
3 Now the queen of seasons, bright
with the day of splendor,
with the royal feast of feasts
comes its joy to render;
comes to glad Jerusalem,
who with true affection
welcomes in unwearied strains
Jesus’ resurrection!
4 Neither could the gates of death,
nor the tomb’s dark portal,
nor the watchers, nor the seal
hold you as a mortal:
but today, among your own,
you appear, bestowing
your deep peace, which evermore
passes human knowing.

CHRIST described
Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 9:2-7 First Line: People that long in darkness walk'd Lyrics: 2 People that long in darkness walk'd
Now see a great and wondrous light;
On them who dwelt in shades of death
The light hath shin'd exceeding bright.
3 The nations thou hast multiply'd,
And now their joys increased are;
As in the harvest they rejoice,
Like conqu'rers when the spoil they share.
4 For Thou the burthen of their yoke,
The staff which on their shoulders lay,
And their oppressors rod hast broke,
As once they were in Midian's day.
5 For all the warriours battles were
Throughout the earth from times of old,
With noise confus'd of shouts and groans,
In reeking blood their garments roll'd.
But now this great, decisive blow,
Whereby thy people will be free,
Shall be by all devouring FIRE,
Wherein their foes shall fuel be.
6 For lo! the virgin's child is born,
To us thine only Son id giv'n;
Upon his shoulders shall be laid
The government of earth and heav'n.
His name is called Wonderful,
The Councellor, the mighty God,
Eternal Father, Prince of Peace,
Peace over all the earth abroad.
7 Hos government shall ever grow,
And far and wide o'er all extend;
And universal peace, the fruit
Of his just reign, shall know no end.
O'er David's kingdom and his throne
To rule, and them establish sure,
With judgment right and justice clear,
His reign for ever shall endure.
