Light of the world, faint were our weary feet

Author: Mrs. Ormiston Chant, 1848 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #114a (1917) Topics: Christ Morning Star; Morning Star; Star Morning; Jesus (See also Christ) Morning Star Lyrics: 1 Light of the world, faint were our weary feet With wandering far; But Thou didst come our lonely hearts to greet, O Morning Star; And Thou didst bid us lift our gaze on high, To see the glory of the glowing sky. 2 In days long past we missed our homeward way; We could not see; Blind were our eyes, our feet were bound to stray; How blind to Thee! But Thou didst pity, Lord, our gloomy plight; And Thou didst touch our eyes, and give them sight. 3 Now hallelujahs rise along the road Our glad feet tread; Thy love hath shared our sorrow's heavy load; There's light o'erhead: Glory to Thee whose love hath led us on, Glory for all the great things Thou hast done. 4 Where is death's sting, where, grave, thy victory, Where all the pain, Now that thy King the veil that hung o'er thee Hath rent in twain? Light of the world, we hear Thee bid us come To light and love in Thine eternal home. Languages: English Tune Title: SANDON

The First Noel

Hymnal: The Hymnbook #156 (1955) Meter: Irregular with refrain Topics: Star in the East First Line: The first Noel the angel did say Refrain First Line: Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Lyrics: 1 The first Noel the angel did say Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay; In fields where they lay a-keeping their sheep, On a cold winter's night that was so deep. Refrain: Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel. 2 They looked up and saw a star Shining in the east beyond them far, And to the earth it gave great light, And so it continued both day and night. [Refrain] 3 And by the light of that same star, Three Wise Men came from country far; To seek for a king was their intent, And to follow the star wherever it went. [Refrain] 4 This star drew nigh to the northwest; O'er Bethlehem it took its rest; And there it did both stop and stay, Right over the place where Jesus lay. [Refrain] 5 Then entered in those Wise Men three, Fell reverently upon their knee, And offered there in His presence, Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense. [Refrain] 6 Then let us all with one accord Sing praises to our heavenly Lord, That both made heaven and earth of nought, And with His blood mankind hath bought. [Refrain] Amen. Scripture: Matthew 2:1-11 Tune Title: THE FIRST NOEL

Brightest and Best of the Sons of the Morning

Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: The Hymnbook #175 (1955) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Topics: Star in the East Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the sons 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 dewdrops 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, Odors of Edom and offerings divine, Gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, or 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. Amen. Scripture: Matthew 2:1-11 Tune Title: MORNING STAR
