Break Forth, O Beauteous

Author: Johann Rist; John Troutbeck; Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #158 (1990) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 First Line: Break forth, O beauteous heavenly light Lyrics: 1 Break forth, O beauteous heavenly light, and usher in the morning; you shepherds, shrink not with affright, but hear the angel's warning. This child, now weak in infancy, our confidence and joy shall be, the power of Satan breaking, our peace eternal making. [ 2 This night of wonder, night of joy, was born the Christ, our brother; he comes, not mighty to destroy, to bid us love each other. How could he quit his kingly state for such a world of greed and hate? What deep humiliation secured the world's salvation! 3 Come, dearest child, into our hearts, and leave your crib behind you! Let this be where the new life starts for all who seek and find you. To you be honor, thanks, and praise, for all your gifts this time of grace: come, conquer and deliver this world, and us, forever.] Topics: Jesus Christ Self-humiliation; Christmas Season; Jesus Christ Self-humiliation; Satan Scripture: Genesis 3:15 Languages: English Tune Title: ERMUNTRE DICH

Author: Johann Rist, 1607-67; Arthur Tozer Russell, 1806-74 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #29 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Break forth, O beauteous heavenly light, And usher in the morning; Ye shepherds, shrink not with affright, But hear the angel's warning. This Child, now born in infancy, Our confidence and joy shall be, The power of Satan breaking, Our peace eternal making. 2 All blessing, thanks and praise to thee, Lord Jesus Christ, be given: Thou hast our brother deigned to be, Our foes in sunder riven. O grant us through our day of grace With constant praise to seek thy face; Grant us ere long in glory With praises to adore thee. Amen.
