Break Forth, O Beauteous Heavenly Light
Author: Johann Rist; Arthur Tozer Russell Meter: Irregular Appears in 57 hymnals Topics: Advent 3 Year A 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. Used With Tune: ERMUNTRE DICH Text Sources: German

holy wisdom, love most bright;
drawn by you, our souls aspiring

striving still to truth unknown,
soaring, dying round your throne.

hark, what peaceful music rings;
where the flock, in you confiding,
drink of joy from deathless springs.
Theirs is beauty's fairest pleasure;
theirs is wisdom's holiest treasure.
You, forever, lead your own
in the love of joys unknown. Used With Tune: JESU, JOY (WERDE MUNTER)

O God of Every Nation
Author: William Watkins Reid, Jr. Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: Advent 3 Year C Lyrics: 1 O God of every nation,
of every race and land,
redeem the whole creation
with your almighty hand;
where hate and fear divide us
and bitter threats are hurled,
in love and mercy guide us
and heal our strife-torn world.
2 From search for wealth and power
and scorn of truth and right,
from trust in bombs that shower
destruction through the night,
from pride of race and nation
and blindness to your way,
deliver every nation,
eternal God, we pray.
3 Give strength to those who labour
that all may find release
from fear of rattling sabre,
from dread of war's increase;
when hope and courage falter,
your still small voice be heard:
with faith that none can alter,
your servants undergird.
4 Keep bright in us the vision
of days when war shall cease,
when hatred and division
give way to love and peace,
till dawns the morning glorious
when peace on earth shall reign
and Christ shall rule victorious
o'er all the world's domain. Used With Tune: LLANGLOFFAN

Thine I am, O spotless Lamb,
I will let no other hide thee,
naught I ask beside thee.

for the Lord of gladness,
Jesus, enters in;
they who love the Father,
though the storms may gather,
still have peace within;
yea, whate'er I here must bear,
still in thee lies purest pleasure,

God of glory, life and love;
hearts unfold like flowers before you,
opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness,
drive our fear and doubt away;
giver of immortal gladness,
fill us with the light of day.
2 All your works with joy surround you,
earth and heaven reflect your rays,
stars and angels sing around you,
center of unbroken praise.
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
flowery meadow, flashing sea,
chanting bird and flowing fountain,
sound their praise eternally.
3 You are giving and forgiving,
ever blessing, ever blest,
wellspring of the joy of living,
ocean depth of happy rest!
Source of grace and fount of blessing,
let your light upon us shine;
teach us how to love each other,
lift us to the joy divine.
4 Mortals, join the mighty chorus
which the morning stars began;
God's own love is reigning o'er us,
joining people hand in hand.
Ever singing, march we onward,
victors in the midst of strife;
joyful music lifts us sunward
in the triumph song of life. Used With Tune: HYMN TO JOY
Joyful, Joyful, We Adore You
