Hail the Bless’d Morn

Author: Reginald Heber Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 231 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Birth of; Jesus Christ Images and Names of First Line: Hail the bless’d morn, see the great Mediator Lyrics: 1 Hail the bless’d morn, see the great Mediator down from the region of glory descend! Shepherds, go worship the babe in the manger, lo, for his guard the bright angels attend. 2 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 or gold from the mine? 3 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. 4 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. 5 Bright-est 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. Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12 Used With Tune: MORNING STAR Text Sources: Christian Observer, 1811, alt.

Darkness veils thine anguished face: None its lines of woe can trace: None can tell what pangs unknown Hold thee silent and alone. 2 Silent through those three dread hours, Wrestling with the evil pow'rs, Left alone with human sin, Gloom around thee and within, Till th'appointed time is nigh, Till the Lamb of God may die. 3 Hark, that cry that peals aloud Upward through the whelming cloud! Thou, the Father's only Son, Thou, his own Anointed One, Thou dost ask him - can it be - "Why hast thou forsaken Me?" 4 Lord, should fear and anguish roll Darkly o'er my sinful soul, Thou, who once wast thus bereft That thine own might ne'er be left, Teach me by that bitter cry In the gloom to know thee nigh. Amen. Scripture: Mark 15:34 Used With Tune: ARFON
