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. Topics: The Church Year Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: SCHOP
