When marshall'd on the nightly plain
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #161 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Names and Characters of Christ Star of Bethlehem Lyrics: 1 When marshalled on the nightly plain,
The glitt’ring hosts bestud the sky;
One star alone, of all the train,
Can fix the sinner’s wand’ring eye.
2 Hark! hark! to God the chorus breaks,
From every host, from every gem;
But one alone the Saviour speaks,
It is the star of Bethlehem.
3 Once on the raging seas I rode,
The storm was loud,--the night was dark,
The ocean yawn'd,--and rudely blow'd
The wind that toss'd my foundering bark.
4 Deep horror then my vitals froze,
Death-struck, I ceas'd the tide to stem;
When suddenly a star arose,
It was the star of Bethlehem.
5 It was my guide, my light, my all,
It bade my dark forebodings cease;
And through the storm and danger’s thrall,
It led me to the port in peace.
4 Now safely moor'd--my perils o’er,
I’ll sing, first in night’s diadem,
For ever and for ever more,
The star!--The star of Bethlehem!
When marshall'd on the nightly plain
When, marshall'd on the nightly plain
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #171 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Star of Bethlehem Lyrics: 1 When, marshall'd on the nightly plain,
The glitt'ring hosts bestud the sky,
One star alone, of all the train,
Can fix the sinner’s wand'ring eye.
2 Hark! hark! to God the chorus breaks,
From ev'ry host, from ev'ry gem;
But one alone the Saviour speaks,
It is the Star of Bethlehem.
3 Once on the raging seas I rode,
The storm was loud--the night was dark,
The ocean yawn'd--and rudely blow'd
The wind that toss'd my found'ring bark.

Death-struck, I ceased the tide to stem;
When suddenly a star arose--
It was the Star of Bethlehem.
5 It was my guide, my light, my all;
It bade my dark forebodings cease;
And through the storm and danger’s thrall,
It led me to the port of peace.
6 Now safely moor'd--my perils o’er,
I’ll sing, first in night’s diadem,
Forever, and forevermore,
The Star--the Star of Bethlehem! Languages: English

Hark the bells! hark the bells!
Author: Rev. Ambrose M. Schmidt, 1857- Hymnal: The Sunday School Hymnal #26 (1899) Topics: Bethlehem; Star of Bethlehem Lyrics: 1 Hark the bells! Hark the bells!
Hear the merry Christmas bells!
As they ring through all the earth,
Telling of the Saviour’s birth.
Happy morn! happy morn!
Lo the Prince of Peace is born!
Tell the story, Christ of glory,
Comes to reign! comes to reign!
Hark the angels are singing;
Alleluias are ringing;
Peace to men upon earth
And good will,” they loud proclaim!
Refrain:
Hark the bells! Hark the bells!
Hear the merry Christmas bells!
As they ring through all the earth,
Telling of the Savior’s birth.
Happy morn! happy morn!
Lo the Prince of Peace is born!
Tell the story, Christ of glory,
Comes to reign! comes to reign!
2 Wond’rous star! wond’rous star!
Guiding wise-men from afar;
O’er the desert plains they come,
Seeking David’s Royal Son;
Low they bow! low they bow!
At the manger cradle now;
Gifts of gold and precious treasure
Offer Him! offer Him!
Christmas bells are sweetly ringing,
Children, carols are singing;
Heaven and earth Alleluias
Raise to Christ the new-born King! [Refrain]
3 Holy Child! Holy Child!
Babe of Bethlehem so mild!
Come to us anew today,
Keep us in the perfect way.
Lord of all! Lord of all!
At Thy feet we humbly fall!
Here we worship and adore Thee,
Christ our King! Christ our King!
Open wide now the portals
Of your hearts, all ye mortals;
Let Him in! let Him in!
Let the Christ-child enter in! [Refrain]
Hark the bells! hark the bells!
Hark! the sound of angel voices
Author: Mrs. David B. Coe, 1818- Hymnal: The Sunday School Hymnal #37 (1899) Topics: Bethlehem; Star of Bethlehem Lyrics: 1 Hark! the sound of angel-voices
Over Bethlehem starlit plain;
Hark! the heavenly host rejoices,
Jesus comes to earth to reign.
See celestial radiance beaming,
Lighting up the midnight sky;
‘Tis the promised daystar gleaming,
‘Tis the day-spring from on high,
‘Tis the day-spring from on high.
2 Westward, all along the ages,
Trace its pathway clear and bright;
Star of hope to eastern sages,
Radiant now with Gospel light.
Angels from the realms of glory,
Peace on earth delight to sing,
Christian, tell the wondrous story,
Go, proclaim the Saviour King!
Go, proclaim the Saviour King! Tune Title: [Hark! the sound of angel voices]

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning
Author: Bp. R. Heber, 1783-1826 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #128a (1917) Topics: Bethlehem Star of; Bethlehem Visit of Magi to; Star Of Bethlehem 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 dew-drops are shining;
Low lies His bed with the beasts of the stall;
Angels adore Him, in slumber reclining,
Maker, and Monarch, and Saviour of all.
3 Say, shall we yield Him, in costly devotion,
Odours of Edom, and offerings 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 favour secure;
Richer by far is the heart's adoration;
Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. Languages: English Tune Title: EPIPHANY

Floating o'er Judea's plains
Author: Dr. A. D. Watson, 1859- Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #129 (1917) Topics: Bethlehem Star of; Star Of Bethlehem Lyrics: 1 Floating o'er Judea's plains,
And down the echoing height,
Hark, the love-evangel strains
Are blending with the night,
Angel voices from the sky
With music fill each vale and glen:
"Glory be to God on high,
On earth, good will to men."
2 Still is heard the shepherd's quest
That rose to Bethlehem's walls,
Burdened with a great unrest,
The world for Christ still calls,
From the vales and hills He trod,
Still rings the song that ne'er shall cease:
"Glory, glory be to God,
To men, good will and peace."
3 Evermore that wondrous strain
The door of hope unbars,
Whether in the cloistered fane
Or 'neath the Syrian stars,
Sing the joy-notes once again,
And let them echo to the sky:
"Peace on earth, good will to men,
Glory to God on high."
4 Angel harps, our souls inspire
With grace to conquer wrong,
Fill us with a deep desire
To live the angel song,
Till the life of love be found
In every land beneath the sky,
Till the whole wide world resound:
"Glory to God on high."
